I don't think I really want to spend all day at this - CLI anyone?

Larry

Adding my client's default Address Objects and Groups to a new TZ350 in CSC-MA.

I keep getting this:

After 15 minutes, I'm pretty much convinced this is NOT an effective use of my time.

Could someone please point me in the direction of a SonicWall University course and/or documentation on quickly getting started with the CLI?

Thanks!

Hi @LARRY,

Are you looking for CLI feature or API to configure CSC w.r.t firewall configuration? Please let us know.

@Saravanan I honestly do not know which one is easier to understand and faster to implement. Sorry that that's not an answer...

Login using SSH

then enter as below, or copy and paste from a text file for multiple entries, don't try and add to many in one go as you will get errors

conf

address-object ipv4 "Test object 172.16.32.226"

name "Remote Analyzer 172.16.32.226"

zone LAN

host 172.16.32.226

exit

To create the Groups as below

address-group ipv4 "Test object Group"

address-object ipv4 "Test object 172.16.32.226"

exit

commit

you only need to use "" if spaces are present in the name

also when pasting in to here, it added extra blank lines

if you want a guide on the CLI the best way to get this is to look at the exported CLI file as it is in the same format you need for the CLI commands, you can get if you import your config file to https://migratetool.global.sonicwall.com/

and then export as cli file or you can export this way via FTP

export current-config cli ftp ftp://username:password@172.16.32.60/firmware/sw-prodname-buildversion-ecli.txt
