How to export Gaia config from a firewall

Hi All,

how do I get an editable configuration (equivalent to config/active) from 80.10 Firewall. I would prefer a CLI/WinSCP method. Thank you for any tips.

This is in regards to the post:

Cheers, Tim

/config/active is a textual representation of the configuration, but the actual configuration is a sqlite database.

It's internal structure is not documented and, generally speaking, we do not support directly editing it except thru clish/WebUI commands.

Occasionally, such as in the thread you linked, you can use dbget/dbset to try and resolve database inconsistencies.

Generally, the use of dbget and dbset is unsupported.

Thanks, I'll have to experiment with that.

I would use:

clish -c "show configuration" > my_config.txt

Why not just save configuration <file>?

Or it can be also clish -s "save configuration <file>".

Bu where we can find the saved file via Winscp? In which direction will be saved?

Which command did you run and from where to generate it?

It could be in the user's home directory (e.g. /home/admin) or other location, use pwd to verify.
