show asset all -Display general hardware information.

show sysenv all -Display system component status (fans, power supply…)

asset -View hw info on IP Series Appliances running GAiA.

fw log -b <starttime> <endtime> -View today’s log entries between <starttime> and <endtime>.
fw fetchlogs -f <file> -Fetch a logfile from a remote CP module. NOTE: The log module will be deleted from the remote module. Does not work with current fw.log.
fwm logexport -i <file> -o out.csv -d ‘,’ -p -n  – Export logfile to file , use , (comma) as <file> out.csv delimiter (CSV) and do not resolve services or hostnames ( -n).
log list -Show index of available system and error log files.
log show <nr> -View log file number <nr> from the log list index.
For Basic troubleshooting on firewall :
cpview-View OS and software blade statistics. See sk101878.
cpinfo-Collect diagnostic data for CP support cases. See sk92739.
sar -System monitoring tool (GAiA) generating monitoring data every 10 minutes, keeping the data for 7 days. E.g.:
sar -n EDEV – Interface errors from today thsar -u -f /var/log/sa/sa04 – CPU stats from the 4 .
cpsizeme -For 24h, monitor gw resource utilization every minute and generate a CSV report to use for sizing considerations or troubleshooting.
ethtool -S  -View interface statistics and counters.
emergendisk -Create a bootable system on a USB device for system or password recovery and secure HDD wiping.
cpinfo -z -o <file> -Create a compressed cpinfo file to open with the InfoView utility or to send to Check Point support.
cst,ecst  -Configuration Summary Tool and its enhanced version. Packs IPSO config, logs, core dumps etc. into a single file.
fw ctl zdebug drop  -Real time listing of dropped packets.
cpwd_admin list -Display PID, status and starting time of CP WatchDog monitored processes.
cpca_client lscert  -Display all ICA certificates.
fw tab –t <tbl> [–s]  -View kernel table contents. Make output short with -s switch. List all available tables with fw tab -s. Example: fw tab -t connections -s – View connection table.
fw ctl multik stat -Show connection statistics for each kernel instance.
fw ctl pstat -Display internal statistics including information about memory,inspect, connections, synchronization and NAT.
fw ctl chain -Displays in and out chain of CP modules. Useful for placing fw monitor into the chain with the -p option.
cp_conf sic state,cp_conf sic init <key> -Display SIC trust status or (re)initialize SIC.
fwm sic_reset -Reset Internal Certificate Authority (ICA) and delete certs. Reinitialize ICA with cpconfig or cp_conf ca init.
cpca_client -Manage parts of the ICA. View, create and revoke certificates, start and stop the ICA Web Tool. Examples: cpca_client lscert -stat Valid , cpca_client search <searchstring>
fwaccel <off|on> -Disable/enable SecureXL.
cpmonitor  -Statistics and analysis of snoop/tcpdump/fw monitor traffic
For firewall packet capture example:
Display all packets from 192.168.1.12 to 192.168.3.3
fw monitor -e ‘accept src=192.168.1.12 and dst=192.168.3.3;’
UDP port 53 (DNS) packets, pre-in position is before ‘ippot_strip’
fw monitor -pi ipopt_strip -e ‘accept udpport(53);’
UPD traffic from or to unprivileged ports, only show post-out
fw monitor -m O -e ‘accept udp and (sport>1023 or dport>1023);’
Display Windows traceroute (ICMP, TTL<30) from and to 192.168.1.12
fw monitor -e ‘accept host(192.168.1.12) and tracert;’

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80

Unable to Connect to Server Checkpoint R80 Unable to Connect to Server A connection to the management server will fail if: A firewall between SmartConsole and the management server blocks Port 19009 -  port 19009 is used for a new R80 service. Allow traffic on this port for all clients and management servers. No GUI clients are assigned -  Open the Gaia Portal. If the First Time Configuration Wizard opens, complete it. If the First Time Configuration Wizard has already run, open  User Management > GUI Clients  and add a client. When using Multi-Domain Security Management, connect SmartConsole to the Multi-Domain Server and make sure the domains have GUI clients assigned to them. The required processes are not reachable -  Make sure the computer with SmartConsole installed can reach the IP address of the management server, and that these server processes are up and running: cpm fwm Operation time out  – Your connection ...

Checkpoint firewall common commands part1

Checkpoint firewall common commands part1 For starting or stopping firewall services cpstop -Stop all Check Point services except cprid . You can also stop specific services by issuing an option with cpstop. For instance cpstop FW1 stops FW-1/VPN-1 or use cpstop WebAccess to stop WebAccess. cpstart -Start all Check Point services except cprid . cpstart works with the same options as cpstop . cprestart -Combined cpstop and cpstart . Complete restart. cpridstop, cpridstart, cpridrestart -Stop, start or restart cprid , the Check Point Remote Installation Daemon. fw kill [-t sig] proc -Kill a Firewall process. PID file in $FWDIR/tmp/ must be present. Per default sends signal 15 (SIGTERM).Example: fw kill -t 9 fwm fw unloadlocal – Uninstalls local security policy and disables IP forwarding. For getting basic firewall information : fw ver [-k] , fwm [mds] ver, vpn ver [-k], fgate ver -Show major and minor version as well as build numb...
