Synonym: Single-Domain Security Management Server. or Main Domain Management ServerClosed Check Point Single-Domain Security Management Server or a Multi-Domain Security Management Server., and applies it to the VSX GatewayClosed Physical server that hosts VSX virtual networks, including all Virtual Devices that provide the functionality of physical network devices. It holds at least one Virtual System, which is called VS0..

Parameters

Parameter

Description

-c

Specifies that this is a VSXClosed Virtual System Extension. Check Point virtual networking solution, hosted on a computer or cluster with virtual abstractions of Check Point Security Gateways and other network devices. These Virtual Devices provide the same functionality as their physical counterparts. ClusterClosed Two or more Security Gateways that work together in a redundant configuration - High Availability, or Load Sharing..

-n

Specifies not to apply the local.vsall, if VSX configuration, as fetched from Management Server, is up-to-date.

-q

Specifies to run in quiet mode - shows only summary information.

-s

Specifies to fetch concurrently for multi-processor environment.

-v

Specifies to run in verbose mode - shows detailed information.
