CLI commands to check access from a specific ip or interface to an external url?

victoria_bardy — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 00:08:16 GMT

Hello all,

Can anyone here in the community share with me a CLI command for a checkpoint 9000 running r81.20 that will allow me to generate traffic from an interface or a specific ip to a specific external url? I have been searching for a curl command but coming up empty. I tried a telnet command but it created a nightmare loop that I couldn't seem to break from.

I need to figure out what is blocking a specific guest vlan from reaching a few urls.

Please let me know if you do.

Thank you.

Maybe something like this?

curl -v --interface eth1 https://example.com/ -I

You can also just use basic source ip ping to check basic connection to the relevant website.
