Enhancing CLISH with Dynamic CLI

Check Point released a new tool today called Dynamic CLI to enhance CLISH with new commands. This might eliminate the need to access Expert mode for certain roles you may have in your team. It’s available as a tarball for R80.10 and higher and does not conflict with Jumbo Hotfixes. It can be installed on the following setups:

• Management Server
• Multi-Domain Server
• Gateway / Cluster / VSX
• Appliance / VM

Dynamic CLI will only add new “show” commands that replaces the equivalent Expert commands. A reboot is advised but you can also restart CLISH to enable Dynamic CLI as stated here on CheckMates by entering the following commands:

# tellpm process:clishd
# tellpm process:clishd t
# tellpm process:clish
# tellpm process:clish t

The tables below show you the new commands that will be available in CLISH when Dynamic CLI is installed. Read more about Dynamic CLI in sk144112.
