Yes, you can create objects via the CLI.
Refer to the Quantum Spark CLI Guide: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R81.10.X/CLI/EN/Default.htm

Dear Chiris,

I don't understand that why Checkpoint smb appliances are complicated in some basic features like highlighted here.

There shoud be an option like export assets to csv available in asset menu.

Refer screenshot

Is the concern that you cannot see the "Action" menu unless you change the view format?

I want to create multiple host/network objects.Using cli is difficult to create multiple host/network objects at once.

Also not familiar about API option.

just for reference i shared the screenshot of export assets option available in asset menu.

Same kind of feature must be available for import host/network objects using csv which is available in other OEM like Fortinet,Sophos.

Can create one host only at a time.

Plenty of automation / orchestrations tools or even basic text manipulation tools eg notepad++ would make light work of this.

Proceed as follows:

Create a file and put it on the SMB device to perform the commands from Expert shell using

clish -i -f <File> -v

See https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R81.10.X/CLI/EN/Content/Topics/Running-Gaia-Clish-Commands-from-Expert-Mode.htm?Highlight=clish

If you plan to connect to Infinity SMP portal, you get CLI by scripting from the Cloud:

Thank you so much.

You have solved my biggest problem,because i'm managing 10 appliances using SMP portal and due to this feature i can easily create multiple common objects/hosts using CLI scripting from the Cloud like single script or multiple scripts for different tasks not only for single appliance but as many as available in the SMP plan.

Created CLI Script for adding host using below command
add host name MyHost ipv4-address 192.168.x.x
add host name MyHost1 ipv4-address 192.168.x.x

Created CLI Script for adding host to group using below command
set group MyGroup add member MyHost
set group MyGroup add member MyHost1

I'm writing this response to help others for the same concern.
