Is there a way to set SIC through command line?

[cpcpc]

Hi, there,

I know that we can use command line to push policy,etc. but is there a way to set SIC through command line? That is, can "set SIC" be done on FW management station (SPLAT expert shell)?

Thanks!

Hi
run the command cpconfig.
then goto option 5 & 6.

you can reset the SIC from there.

but you still need to reset sic on SmartDashboard, right? Can this step do-able by command line?

[inetd]

cp_conf sic init <password>

[cpcpc]

the command can be executed on each FW modules. But it cannot run on management:

"You cannot run sic cmds on this machine"

SIC has to be set on both modules and management, how to set it on management through command line?

Thanks.

Hi
If you want to reset through the command line you can reset with the command #reset_sic.
then open the Smartdashboard, and check the SIC status there.

Thanks for the reply. But that's exactly what I want to avoid, the GUI.

Is there a way to do reset SIC on both modules and management server through command line?

Silly question but why are you trying so hard to avoid the Dashboard?

The Dashboard is the heart of the Check Point system and it's designed so that you do the configuration through the Dashboard. It isn't really designed to be driven through the command line. To use and get the most out of Check Point then you really should use the Dashboard.

From knowledgebase

SIC cannot be reinitialized through the command line on a SmartCenter Server installed machine. In order to establish or reinitialize the SIC for individual Security Gateways (firewall modules) that this SmartCenter Server is managing, attempt this through the Secure Internal Communication section in the General Properties of the network object representing the target firewall module.

because I want to write a script to do the whole thing if possible :-)

I'm trying to avoid GUI because there's no easy way to do the GUI part...
