1

Connect to the command line on your Security Gateway.

2

Log in to the Expert mode.

3

Get the list of the available integer kernel parameters and their values:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# modinfo -p $PPKDIR/boot/modules/sim_kern*.o | sort -u | grep _type | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} ; {print $1}' | xargs -n 1 fw ctl get int 1>> /var/log/sxl_integer_kernel_parameters.txt 2>> /var/log/sxl_integer_kernel_parameters.txt

4

Analyze the output file:

/var/log/sxl_integer_kernel_parameters.txt

1

Connect to the command line on your Security Gateway.

2

Log in to the Expert mode.

3

Get the list of the available integer kernel parameters and their values:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# modinfo -p $PPKDIR/boot/modules/sim_kern*.o | sort -u | grep 'string param' | awk 'BEGIN {FS=":"} ; {print $1}' | xargs -n 1 fw ctl get str 1>> /var/log/sxl_string_kernel_parameters.txt 2>> /var/log/sxl_string_kernel_parameters.txt

4

Analyze the output file:

/var/log/sxl_string_kernel_parameters.txt

1

Connect to the command line on your Security Gateway.

2

Log in to the Expert mode.

3

See if the configuration file already exists:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# ls -l $PPKDIR/conf/simkern.conf

4

If this file already exists, skip to Step 5.

If this file does not exist, then create it manually and then skip to Step 6:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# touch $PPKDIR/conf/simkern.conf

5

Back up the current configuration file:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# cp -v $PPKDIR/conf/simkern.conf{,_BKP}

6

Edit the current configuration file:

[Expert@MyGW:0]# vi $PPKDIR/conf/simkern.conf

7

Add the required SecureXL kernel parameter with the assigned value in the exact format specified below.

Important - This configuration file does not support space characters, tabulation characters, and comments (lines that contain the # character).

• To add an integer kernel parameter:

  <Name_of_SecureXL_Integer_Kernel_Parameter>=<Integer_Value>

• To add a string kernel parameter:

  <Name_of_SecureXL_String_Kernel_Parameter>="<String_Text>"

  or

  <Name_of_SecureXL_String_Kernel_Parameter>="<String_Text>"

8

Save the changes in the file and exit the Vi editor.

9

Reboot the Security Gateway.

Important - In cluster, this can cause a failover.

10

Connect to the command line on your Security Gateway.

11

Log in to Gaia Clish or the Expert mode.

12

Make sure the new value of the kernel parameter is set:

• For an integer kernel parameter, run:

  fw ctl get int <Name of Integer Kernel Parameter> [-a]

• For a string kernel parameter, run:

  fw ctl get str <Name of String Kernel Parameter> [-a]
