There is no such CLI script - you have to write your own using CP commands from GAiA clish or the Management API.

mgmt add group name "group_name"

mgmt add host name "host_name_1" ip-address "x.x.x.1" groups.1 "group_name"
mgmt add host name "host_name_2" ip-address "x.x.x.2" groups.1 "group_name"

With 80.10 you cannot or else just create for loop in bash. Starting Mgmt API version 1.6 (R80.40) you can use API call add objects-batch do what you want.


Kind regards,

Gaia WebUi has a nice UI interface to allow adding routes in batch mode. I always missed a batch mode to add objects directly in SmartConsole. A SmartConsole Extension could solve this of course.

You can use the "set-if-exists true" parameter to handle such a situation

It is documented in the management API reference guide

https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#cli/add-host~v1.8%20

 
set-if-exists boolean
Default: false
If another object with the same identifier already exists, it will be updated. The command behaviour will be the same as if originally a set command was called. Pay attention that original object's fields will be overwritten by the fields provided in the request payload!
 

 

Kind Regards

Danny, I have to add over 200 IPs to an object group, but when I log into the MDS to run the commands mentioned above but get this error (see below) when trying to add an object group. I am Running  R81.10.

 

Any thoughts?

Error:
MGMTXXX You are not logged in to management server, in order to log-in you will need to run "mgmt login user [user name]"

The error message is telling you how to resolve this issue: log into the management server using the specified command.
Note that this is required for any use of the API (including via mgmt and mgmt_cli).
Also note that changes must be published or they will not take effect: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#clish/publish~v1.9%20
