Hi,

Im running the api_show_package to export all config but im getting this error:

[3/18/26 8:29 AM com.checkpoint.mgmt_api.examples.MyLogger.severe()SEVERE]: Failed to run gateways-and-servers command. Message: '[55.255.255.240] Is not a valid IPv4 netmask'. Status Code: '400'

Anyone knows how can change that mask? or where can i locate it?

What happens if you try to run directly from an SSH shell on the management the command: mgmt_cli show gateways-and-servers details-level full" ?

See if you can find which object it's complaining about. Use 'limit 1 offset 0', then increase the offset until you get the error. Once you have the problem object's offset, set 'details-level uid' to get the problem object's UUID.

From there, 'show object uid <UUID>' will tell you the name of the object.

Once you have that, look at the object in SmartConsole. I bet one of the interfaces in the topology table has a weird netmask specified.
