vsx_util show_interfaces

Description

Shows configuration of selected interfaces - interface types, connections to Virtual Devices, and IP addresses.

The command shows the information on the screen and also saves it to the interfacesconfig.csv file in the current working directory.

Important - On a Multi-Domain Security Management ServerClosed Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to manage the objects and policies in a Check Point environment within a single management Domain. Synonym: Single-Domain Security Management Server., you must switch to the context of the MainDomain Management ServerClosed Check Point Single-Domain Security Management Server or a Multi-Domain Security Management Server. that manages 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. / 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. object.

Use the command "mdsenv <IP Address or Name of Domain Management Server>".

Syntax

vsx_util show_interfaces

Required Input

  • The applicable VSX Gateway or VSX Cluster object.

  • Which interfaces to show:

    Menu Option

    Description

    1) All Interfaces

    Shows all interfaces (Physical and Warp).

    2) All Physical Interfaces

    Shows only Physical interfaces.

    3) All Warp Interfaces

    Shows only Warp interfaces.

    4) A Specific Interface

    Prompts you to enter the name of the specific interface to show.

    Note - You cannot specify a VLAN tag as a parameter. You can, however, specify an interface used as a VLAN (without the tag) to see all VLAN tags associated with that interface. See the example below.
