To expedite the build of the environment we need to add rules to the firewall/policy. I know it is possible to add rules using a script via the CLI but for visibility purposes are we able to view the policy installed on the firewall from the command line? Or is it only possible to see the installed policy via the Smartconsole GUI?</P> Tue, 29 Oct 2019 20:20:45 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Add-to-and-view-policy-from-command-line/m-p/66184#M83268 J_Saun 2019-10-29T20:20:45Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Add-to-and-view-policy-from-command-line/m-p/66186#M83269 <P>In general, you can view and edit the firewall policy only via SmartConsole GUI. So you need to the firewall manager in order to manage your firewall.</P> Tue, 29 Oct 2019 22:06:39 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Add-to-and-view-policy-from-command-line/m-p/66186#M83269 Danny 2019-10-29T22:06:39Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Add-to-and-view-policy-from-command-line/m-p/66204#M83270 <P>Adding to what Danny wrote, without the Security Management Server (or Domain Management Server) the Security Gateway is installed with the InitialPolicy.</P> <P>Only after the Security Gateway is connected to the Security Management (even if on the same machine, i.e. Standalone) and the first user defined policy is installed on it,&nbsp; then it will be meaningful to view the policy (CLI or SmartConsole).</P> Wed, 30 Oct 2019 08:02:17 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Add-to-and-view-policy-from-command-line/m-p/66204#M83270 Tal_Paz-Fridman 2019-10-30T08:02:17Z
