Role Name

With this role, you can easily automate important tasks for your Checkpoint Gaia Firewalls. Here’s what you can do:

• Take configuration backups using clish.
• Run key show commands on all your gateways from a single playbook, such as:
  • Show route
  • Show asset all
  • Show interfaces
  • Show OSPF, etc.
• Send configuration commands to all your gateways from a single playbook.

Requirements

Here’s what you need:

• A Linux server. This role has been tested with RHEL 7+ and Ubuntu, but it should work with other distributions too.
• Ansible version 2.5 or higher installed on the Linux server.
• A direct connection to the Checkpoint firewalls (the role does not currently support a jump box).

Role Variables

The role has these default settings (which can all be changed):

• The username to log into the firewall is 'admin', but this can be changed per firewall in the inventory file.
• The SSH port is 22; if you are using a different port, you can change it in the inventory file.
