Using Command Line Reference

You can make changes to your appliance with the WebUI or Command Line Interface (CLI). When using CLI note these aspects:

• The CLI default shell (clish) covers all the operations that are supported from the WebUI. It also supports auto-completion capabilities, similar to Gaia. For advanced operations that require direct access to the file system (such as redirecting debug output to a file), log in to Expert mode.

• SSH to the appliance is supported and is enabled through the WebUI.

• You can enable login directly to expert mode. To do this:

  • Login to Expert mode using the "Expert" password.

  • Run the command bashUser on

  • You will now always login directly to expert mode (this mode is not deleted during reboot)

  • To turn this mode off, run the command bashUser off

• SCP to the appliance is supported but you need to enable direct login to Expert mode. Note that SFTP that is commonly used by winSCP is not supported. For more information, see sk52763.

CLISH Auto-completion

All CLISH commands support auto-completion. Standard Check Point and native Linux commands can be used from the CLISH shell but do not support auto-completion. These are examples of the different commands:

• CLISH - fetch,set, show

• Standard Check Point - cphaprob,..., fw, vpn

• Native Linux - ping, tcpdump, traceroute
