Basic commands

Essentials troubleshooting commands:

exec ping <destination>
exec ping-options source <origin>
exec ping6
exec traceroute <destination>
exec telnet|ssh <destination>

List network interfaces - Equivalent to cisco ‘show ip interfaces brief’

diag ip address list

List the routing table - Equivalent to cisco ‘show ip route’

get router info routing-table all
diag ip route list

Connect to a specific VDOM (change context)

config vdom
 edit root  (or edit vdom1)

Sample network configuration with physical ports and vlans:

config system interfaces
edit port2
  set ip 163.7.131.4 255.255.255.248
  set vdom root
end
edit vlan.15
  set interface port5
  set vlanid 15
  set ip 163.7.131.4 255.255.255.248
  set vdom root
end

Setting static routes and default gateway

config router static
 edit 1
  set dst 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
  set gateway 192.168.0.254
  set device vlan.15
 end

Show arp table

diag ip arp list

Show arp table (in transparent mode)

diag netlink brctl list
diag netlink brctl domain <bridge_name>
diag netlink brctl name host <vdom.name>.b

Doing a packet capture (sniffer)

diag sniffer packet any '!port 22' 4 10 <tsformat>
interfaces=[any]  (interface name can be specified)
filters=[!port 22]  (none can be used as well)
level=4 (print interface name and header)
count=10 (packets to dump)
tsformat=l (none specified then relative time, l-localtime)

Packet flow debug - Equivalent to FW Monitor in Check Point, to evaluate the packet being accepted, forwarded or denied:

diag debug flow show function enable
diag debug flow show console enable
diag debug flow filter addr 10.31.101.22
diag debug flow filter port 80
diag debug enable
diag debug flow trace start 100
diag debug disable

VPN debug commands:

diag vpn ike log filter name <phase1-name>
diag vpn ike log filter src-addr4 <peer>
diag debug application ike -1 (or 255)
diag debug enable
diag vpn tunnel list
diag vpn tunnel flush  <phase1-name>
diag vpn tunnel reset  <phase1-name>
diag debug enable (then disable it)
