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;’
Capture web traffic for VSX virtual system ID 23
fw monitor -v 23 -e ‘accept tcpport(80);’

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 ...

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT

Configuring Proxy ARP for Manual NAT Symptoms After creating a Manual Static NAT rule, Security Gateway does not answer the ARP Requests for the Static NATed IP address that was configured in the Manual NAT rule. Security Gateway replies to ARP requests with a wrong MAC address, mostly for the NAT traffic.  Introduction Let us consider the following scenario: Two networks ( Network_A  and  Network_B ) are separated by a Security Gateway (single Security Gateway or ClusterXL). On each network, there is a host ( Host_A  on  Network_A ,  Host_B  on  Network_B ). Let us assume, that  Network_A  represents the  Internal  network, and  Network_B  represents the  External  network. According to the existing standards, when  Host_B  needs to send data to  Host_A , an ARP Request for the MAC address of  Host_A  will be sent by  Host_B  to  Network...
