activate an interface via command line (automatically)

Duff11

Hi,

In my use case I want to allow a specific server internet access. The other network will be shutdown of this server and the interface to allow internet access must be enabled/activated on the utm. This works fine if I use the webgui. But I would like to automate this and login to utm via ssh (pubkey authentication) from an other system on internal lan.

If I active the interface using ip command, the interface will come up but the firewall rules will not take affect. I am not allowed to receive dns queries for example. If I activate the interface via webgui, everything works as expected.

How could I bring up the configured interface (but deactivated) using the command line (ssh connection)?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Duff

    Hallo Duff,

    Not sure I understand what you're looking for, but...

    To get the REF for a specific interface named Private:

    secure:/home # cc get_object_by_name interface ethernet Private |grep \'ref
                              'ref' => 'REF_IntEthPrivate',

    To enable the Private interface:

    secure:/home # cc change_object 'REF_IntEthPrivate' status 1
    REF_IntEthPrivate

    To disable it, set status to 0.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thank you very much. That’s what I searched for.

    But two more questions:

    1.) how can I determine the logical interface names on command line without using the webgui (it is Not ethX)?

    2.) is it possible to execute the cc command as a non root user (create sudo rules or...)?

    Thanks and regards

    1. cc get_objects interface ethernet |grep \'name

    2. No idea as I've never tried it.  I never login as loginuser. I use RSA keys with PuTTy to SSH into the UTM as root:  Sophos UTM: How to access the UTM shell via SSH using PuTTY.  Download PuTTY from this link
