Nokia IPSO Command Line

[Youngy]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know a link\site or other resource for all the commands that can be used on a Nokia IPSO at the CLI.

Thanks for your time

[Sergej]

Nokia has perfect documentation, but all is hidden in support site under www.nokia.com/support -> "Support for Business Products". You need to have a login, and one of you appliances serial numbers to download something.
You can also look inside documentation CD (shipped with any IPSO platform).
CLI is described in "CLI Reference Guide for Nokia IPSO X.X"

Thanks Sergej,

I managed to find the pdf you mentioned on the disk (after I found the disk that is) which is great. Thanks for the advice.

If you're looking to automate command line tasks that voyager completes that are not referenced in the command line pdf. The best way is to change the logging settings to "logging of transient and permanant changes".

Then any commands undertaken by voyager (and clish too i think) are spewed into syslogs.

I found this very usefull for figuring out how to do a lot of what voyager or clish does.. on the command line.

Nice trick, IaKing

[Youngy]

I have to figure out how to get the syslogs going then........so much to learn!

[IaKing]

Yeah, not entirely suprisingly.. most of the commands are made using dbset (thats in 3.6 btw, I haven't tried it with 4). The whole voyager is changed in 4 (much much better IMHO), there also appears to be more of an emphasis on clish too so it might be different now.

ipsoinfo

A handy CLI command is fw ctl iflist which lists just the interface names. Handy for the -i switch when running a tcpdump to make sure you have the correct interface name. Sometimes it can take an age to find the interface name from ifconfig -a.

[IaKing]

Hmm, pretty much all unix "commands" will work on ipso (its a stripped down freebsd you know).

Hi,

I'm also looking for a CLI manual/list for IPSO.

At a custumor site we have an IP350 with CP R61, SmartCenterServer en Firewall module are on the same machine.
Yesterday i have the trouble that the SmartCenterServer did't respond to anything. Is it possible to restart ONLY the SmartCenterServer service?
I resolved the problem with a CPrestart which restarted all of de Checkpoint Services. But can i just restart ONE service???

That's why i'm looking for the CLI manual.

So if someone has one.........

Thanks

Maarten

Hi,

I've just been on Nokia website and the CLI doc is there.
mheldens you should take a look on Check Point website, you will find the CLI ref guide from Check Point.
On a standalone environment (FW & mgmt on the same module) all the services are binded so I don't think it is possible to only restart the smartcenter.

Thanx Tan for checking. I found the CLI reference for Checkpoint and i created an account with Nokiabusiness.com to get the reference for IPSO.
Also i think it isn't possible the only restart the smartcenter.
