activate an interface via command line (automatically)

Question

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.
