hello Community !
today i have to add an address object and affect it to an existing group objets, and i must do that for more over 60 firewalls.
I thought the quickest way to do that was to do it in SSH, I followed this KB :
but I got noob errors ;) 😅
when i Tab for getting auto completion i have this error : what am i doing wrong ?
This is the first time I connect via SSH to a SonicWall
thank you !

@mimiz you have to switch to configuration mode first, simply by calling the configure command.
When you're in configure mode you can call the commands of your liking.
After finishing your configuration you need to call the commit command, other wise they'll not active.
Maybe it's time to have a peek in the ECLI documentation.

It is for this reason, SonicWall created Network Security Manager (NSM). Yes, it is extra cost. Yes, it is a learning curve. But once in place (and functioning properly), it will let you create one entry and update all firewalls.
Note: I do not want to promote a product line that I wasted a huge amount of time trying to get working, but I offer this by way of an educational statement. I think it is worth knowing about a product that might help you.
Thank you ! it's exactely what i need !
Sure !
