MGMT9000 Couldn't connect to server

[fsanchezwtu]

Hello Everyone.
This is my first deployment of R 81.10 (Previously 77.30) and I'm feeling the changes.

I have 2 problems:

1 -  I'm trying to add host from CLI using the following line:

"add host name host1 ipv4-address 192.168.2.100"

Everything seems to work fine, to complete i use "Save Config" to install Policies but nothing happens.
Is there another way to install policies from CLI that i don't know?

2 - Reading the documentation i found that i need to use the API.

But when i try to login into it i get the following error

FW1> mgmt login user admin
Enter password:
MGMT9000 Couldn't connect to server

I don't know what else can i do?

Thanks - did you change your port to port 4434 (you are running a custom port)

When running mgmt_cli commands add '--port 4434'

It was this! 

Adding the port to the end i solved.

Can you run cpwd_admin list and send? Also, below is command you can try from cli:
