2.1.5. CLI Scripts

• Secure Shell (SSH) CLI sessions.
• Any CLI session through the serial console interface.
• Secure Copy (SCP) sessions.
• Web Interface sessions connected by HTTP or HTTPS.
The command without any options gives a summary of currently open sessions:
gw-world:/> sessionmanager
Session Manager status
----------------------
Active connections
Maximum allowed connections :
Local idle session timeout
NetCon idle session timeout :
To see a list of all sessions use the -list option. Below is some typical output showing the local
console session:
gw-world:/> sessionmanager -list
User
-------- ---------------- ---------
local
If the user has full administrator privileges, they can forcibly terminate another management session
using the -disconnect option of the sessionmanager command.
The sessionmanager command options are fully documented in the CLI Reference Guide.
2.1.5. CLI Scripts
To allow the administrator to easily store and execute sets of CLI commands, NetDefendOS
provides a feature called CLI scripting. A CLI script is a predefined sequence of CLI commands
which can be executed after they are saved to a file and the file is then uploaded to the NetDefend
Firewall.
The steps for creating a CLI script are as follows:
1. Create a text file with a text editor containing a sequential list of CLI commands, one per line.
The D-Link recommended convention is for these files to use the file extension .sgs (Security
Gateway Script). The filename, including the extension, should not be more than 16 characters.
2. Upload the file to the NetDefend Firewall using Secure Copy (SCP). Script files must be stored
in a directory under the root called /scripts. SCP uploading is discussed in detail in
Section 2.1.6, "Secure Copy".
3. Use the CLI command script -execute to run the script file.
The CLI script command is the tool used for script management and execution. The complete
syntax of the command is described in the CLI Reference Guide and specific examples of usage are
detailed in the following sections. See also Section 2.1.4, "The CLI" in this manual.
