cpmiquerybin for VPN monitoring

Michael_Rolbin — Thu, 30 Aug 2018 23:57:14 GMT

How can I get by #cpmiquerybin a list of VPN Gateways in VPN community?

Maybe you have examples how to monitor VPN resources and tunnels by cpmiquerybin?

Pretty sure cpmiquerybin is not the correct way to discover this information.

From the R80.x API, you should be able to print the relevant VPN community to determine what gateways are in a given community, using show vpn-community-meshed name CommunityName.

From there, you can connect to the relevant gateways and monitor tunnels using vpn tu or the relevant tables.

The problem is that API is not enabled by default on CP R80.x products. How can we retrieve the information about VPN community gateways out of API?

The API is definitely enabled by default, but it isn't accessible from anything but localhost unless you configure it.

If it weren't enabled, you would not be able to use the mgmt_cli command.

SmartConsole might not work so well without it, either

The first command shows you the "meshed" VPN communities.

The second command shows you how you would actually see what gateways are in the community (though in this case, there are no configured).

There are similar API commands for "star" communities (show vpn-communities-star and show vpn-community-star).

Thank you for the API reference!

I know that CP pushing to use API, and it's right way to work. Unfortunately, API has limitations as you mentioned, and 4 GB RAM to be able to run API.

My question still there, in case a customer didn't enable remote API access, can we get the VPN community GWs (not just information about VPN community IKE phases, but Firewalls names and IPs) information by the query?

Re: cpmiquerybin for VPN monitoring

PhoneBoy — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 18:05:08 GMT

The fact you're mentioning anything less than 6GB of RAM (required to run R80.x) suggests you're on an earlier release, is that correct?

That would have been a very relevant detail to mention up-front and would have saved a few messages

Re: cpmiquerybin for VPN monitoring

Michael_Rolbin — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 18:20:32 GMT

🙂 I'm on R80.10 T421

Re: cpmiquerybin for VPN monitoring

In any case, the documentation for cpmiquerybin is: How to use the 'cpmiquerybin' command to list objects and their attributes

From reading this, there doesn't appear to be a way to dump the VPN communities, only regular network objects.

But, you should be able to use dbedit to do it, provided you know the community name(s) in question.

Is there any option to get the VPN Community Name from a VPN GW?

Re: cpmiquerybin for VPN monitoring

PhoneBoy — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 22:42:48 GMT

A gateway can actually be a member of multiple communities.

I'm not aware of a way of determining this using just the gateway name.

But, you can dump the list of VPN Communities in dbedit:

We found that VPN community information stored on the VPN GW in a file:

$FWDIR/state/local/FW1/local.intranet_community
