The command is great!! I have one question: What is the difference between MAB Portal Users and SNX Users?

My case:

REMOTE ACCESS VPN STATS - Current
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assigned OfficeMode IPs : 1499 (Peak: 1692)
Capsule/Endpoint VPN Users : 1447 (Peak: 1501) using Visitor Mode: 60
Capsule Workspace Users : 0 (Peak: 0)
MAB Portal Users : 141 (Peak: 232)
L2TP Users : 0 (Peak: 0)
SNX Users : 122 (Peak: 198)

Regards

A user may login to MAB portal but not connect SNX. In this case he will be counted as MAB user and will not be counted as SNX user.

This one-liner won't work on SMB appliances out of the box mainly because enabled_blades and rev commands are missing. To overcome this problem you need to run following two commands in expert mode:


   echo "grep 1 /opt/fw1/conf/active_blades.txt | awk '{printf \"%s \", tolower(\$1)} END {print \"\"}'" > /usr/bin/enabled_blades && chmod 755 /usr/bin/enabled_blades
  

   echo "echo \$1 | awk '{ for(i=length;i!=0;i--)x=x substr(\$0,i,1);}END{print x}'" > /usr/bin/rev && chmod 755 /us

I just added SMB support to the one-liner, so your adjustments are not required anymore.

Awesome work as usual Danny. 😉

On SMB you have two kind of VPN blades - VPN-RA and VPN-S2S. One-liner will match even if only S2S is enabled but I guess most of them usually have both blades enabled anyway... Yet if you want to be precise you should probably account for that 🤔

The one-liner checks for the VPN blade to make sure it's getting executed on the right type of gateway. Correct configuration of the VPN blade is up to the firewall admin. In case the admin doesn't get that right, the RAS-VPN user count will just show 0 as no RAS-VPN user will be able to connect.

Thanks for a really great script!!

One thing that I noticed though is that it doesn't seem to handle CPVP-VSC licenses.
I have multiple customers using these types of licenses that doesn't show up in the list.
There's sk98121 that describes how to check the current no. of seats that you have.
As far as I've been able to figure out the value for sc_users seems to be the amount of seats * 5, ie.
100 license = 500
400 license = 2000
5000 lic = 25000

Example:
[Expert@VS:3]# grep --binary-files=t

Hi Danny!

Like everybody else, I agree that it is a fantastic job you have done with this One-Liner tool!

But have you reviewed  @MikaelJohnsson above, and his concerns about the counter of licenses vs the amount that is supposedly installed?

I have tested on my environment, to install 3 x 100 SandBlast Agent (SecureClient/Endpoint Connect or whatever we want to call them) licenses, and when I run the command I get an output of 1500 licenses installed:

Great tool. Works fine even on VSX gateways. But only if I first change the context (using vsenv). Unfortunatelly I cannot add this vsenv to the script so that it could run from the repository. This command cannot be used in scripts?

Any ideas how to use it on a VSX gw?

As Check Point doesn't support (yet) to run scripts on virtual systems (VS) within SmartConsole you are looking for a way to circumvent this limitation by running the one-oneliner directly on the VSX object in SmartConsole. As far as I know this won't work.

However, I'm working on a SmartConsole Extension that will easily show all Remote Access VPN Statistics with a single click on any gateway, even VS. It's just a matter of time and support.

We have two clustered gateways with CPSB-MOB-200 and CPSB-MOB-200-HA license.

In our case One-liner shows total 410 Mobile Access Users licenses.

I doubt wheter this is correct behaviour. Does this mean it's possible to have up to 410 simultaneous Mobile Access connections?

As per your description you have 205 MOB licenses for Mobile Access -> the bundled CPSB-MOB-5 + your purchased CPSB-MOB-200.

image.png

In your case the one-liner shows 410 instead of 205 MOB licences. That's twice the number you expect it to show. I just checked on my side and don't see this behaviour. Could you show us what cplic print -x and cplic print -p shows on your gateway?

Looks like everything is attached twice on your gateway.

Hello, 

I have a question, In this moment I have a demo licence

Assigned Office Mode: 266

Capsule/Endpoint Users: 309

The client paid for 200 MOB-HA as say the guy, I could connect 410 users for MOB? 205 for gateway? 

And What the difference in asigned office mode address and capsule/endpoint VPN Users? This values dont should be the same?

Hello, 

What is the difference between Office Mode IP assigned and Capsule/Endpoint VPN Users? 

I have now 37 Assigned OPffceMode IPs and 205 Endpoint vPN Users, the values dont should be the same?

FYI, I got a couple reports internally that the script might not be taking into account expiration dates of licenses, which might cause the license counts to be off, especially if you have multiple evals applied.
This should be in the cplic print -p output. ;
