LOM interface - Console Session

[Mikula83]

Please let me know how to copy checkpoint configuration from LOM interface - Console Session.

I don't know a way how to select a text and I don't know is it possible. (attached picture)

Thanks.

Why can't do the same from a normal SSH session to the machine?

[Mikula83]

Because at this moment I have only LOM interface connected to gateway. I think it is not possible to SSH over LOM interface.

Not supported I think.

You can try to create macro, have no access to html lom 5 to test.

Hello, I have made macro hot keys CTRL+C but without success. I don't know a way how get all configuration with "show configuration" command and copy it, by the way I dont't know is it possible.

Can someone test in on LOM interface?

Best regards.

Normally you would configure mgmt IP on the firewall after restore and start first time wizard from the browser.

If you copy gaia config via console you miss that part. This wizard is sort of mandatory

I would not recommend to copy gaia config via console can give issues. Like half get pasted or part is missing, esp when config is big

It's not directly possible. The console the LOM is showing you is VGA, not text. You could take a screenshot, then do OCR on the image. Seems like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer, but it should work.

Check Point's LOMs are very limited. With any other server vendor I've used in 25 years, you can connect to the LOM via SSH and connect to a serial console from there. More recently, Redfish has become widespread, so you can use HTTP calls instead.

Its serial over lan console, so definitely copy option is not possible. Just do what @Bob_Zimmerman said. Not the "prettiest" option, but will do.
