r80 api notes

examples

logging in

login and redirect session info to a file for reuse

# mgmt_cli login user admin > id.txt

search existing object

search objects by IP, return all objects that contain the ip explicitly or within a nework address space/range.

# mgmt_cli -s id.txt show objects filter "192.168.1.1" ip-only true  --format json | jq '.objects[] | {name: .name, subnet: .subnet4, mask: ."mask-length4"}'

return only objects with the EXACT ip

# mgmt_cli -s id.txt show objects filter "192.168.1.1" ip-only true details-level full --format json |  jq '.objects[] | select(."ipv4-address" == "192.168.1.1") | .name'

• • • details-level full will include more objects, including other stuff like type CpmiHostCkp (built in smartcenter object)

access rules

notes before you begin

when using the parameter "name" to refer to a particular package, it appears to require the following... <package name> <layer name>

as show in by the sho access-layers command below

show access layers?

[Expert@chmkmgr1:0]# mgmt_cli show access-layers -s id.txt --format json | jq '."access-layers"[].name' "dropall Network" "Network"

where "Network" represents the default policy package Standard

display rule by number

show rule 1 from policy named Standard

mgmt_cli show access-rulebase name "Network" -s id.txt package "Standard" show-hits true --format json | jq '.rulebase[0]'

display only the rule number for a rule with uid = xxx

mgmt_cli show access-rulebase name "Network" -s id.txt package "Standard" show-hits true --format json | jq '.rulebase[] | select (.uid == "1de8fab0-4858-4067-977d-1cbb5cd2e55d")
| ."rule-number"'

1

display rule number with comment containing a string haha

mgmt_cli show access-rulebase name "Network" -s id.txt package "Standard" show-hits true --format json | jq '.rulebase[] | select (.comments | contains("haha")) | {rulenum: ."rule-number", comment: .comments}'

"rulenum": 1,
"comment": "hahahlol"
