name <Device Object Name>

Object name

Specifies the name of the Virtual Device object.

Mandatory parameter, if this is the first command in a transaction.

vsx <VSX GW or Cluster Object Name>

Parent object name

Specifies the name of the applicable VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster object, in which you create this Virtual Device.

You cannot use spaces of Check Point reserved words.

Mandatory parameter.

type {vs | vsbm | vsw | vr}

Type of Virtual Device

Specifies the type of the Virtual Device:

• vs – Virtual System (default)
• vsbm – Virtual System in Bridge Mode
• vsw – Virtual Switch
• vr – Virtual Router

vs_mtu <MTU>

Integer

Specifies the Global MTU value for all interfaces.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System in Bridge Mode (type vsbm)
• Virtual Switch (type vsw)

Default is 1500 bytes.

Note - For a Virtual Switch, if you do not add a VLAN or physical interface in the same transaction, the utility ignores this value.

instances <Number of IPv4 CoreXL Firewall instances>

Integer

Specifies the number of IPv4 CoreXL Firewall instances.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System (type vs)
• Virtual System in Bridge Mode (type vsbm)

Default is 1.

For more information about CoreXL, see R80.20 Performance Tuning Administration Guide.

instances6 <Number of IPv6 CoreXL Firewall instances>

Integer

Specifies the number of IPv6 CoreXL Firewall instances.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System (type vs)
• Virtual System in Bridge Mode (type vsbm)

Default is 1.

For more information about CoreXL, see R80.20 Performance Tuning Administration Guide.

main_ip <Main IPv4 Address>

IPv4 Address

Specifies the main IPv4 Address of the Virtual Device object.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System (type vs)
• Virtual Router (type vr)

Note - If you do not specify this value explicitly, the utility uses the IPv4 address of the first interface added to the new device.

main_ip6 <Main IPv6 Address>

IPv6 Address

Specifies the main IPv6 Address of the Virtual Device object.

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System (type vs)
• Virtual Router (type vr)

Note - If you do not specify this value explicitly, the utility uses the IPv6 address of the first interface added to the new device.

calc_topo_auto {true | false}

• true
• false

Specifies how to calculate topology based on routes:

• true - Automatically calculate topology based on routes (default)
• false - Does not calculate topology based on routes

Applicable only for:

• Virtual System (type vs)
• Virtual Router (type vr)
