Check Point Gaia: "cphaprob -a if"

One command, in Gaia, that has helped me determine a ClusterXL issue I was having, is the "cphaprob -a if" command.  I needed to see why I had an active/down state on my cluster, and this command helped me determine that I had a vlan interface down on one of the enforcement modules, which caused the down state.  Once I saw this, I at least knew why I had the down state, and could pursue troubleshooting the problem further.  Besides the 'cphaprob stat" command, this is a very good command to know when troubleshooting.

CheckPoint> cphaprob -a if

Required interfaces: 7
Required secured interfaces: 1

eth2       UP                    non sync(non secured), multicast  (eth2.25   )

  1. cphaprob -i list & cphaprob stat also help determine cluster health on SPlat and GAiA as im sure you already know!

    1. Yeah, in this particular case though, the command I mentioned is what helped me resolve the issue. Thanks for your input on the other commands. Very helpful.
