What are the different command sources that allow you to communicate with the API server?
The different command sources that allow you to communicate with the API server include the SmartConsole GUI Console, the mgmt_cli Tool, the Gaia CLI, and Web Services. The SmartConsole GUI Console allows users to execute API commands from a built-in command line interface. The mgmt_cli Tool is a command line tool available on both Windows and Linux that enables users to run API commands without requiring a graphical user interface. The Gaia CLI provides a command line interface on the Security Management Server where administrators can enter API commands. Web Services facilitate communication by sending API commands over an HTTPS connection. Therefore, the correct choice encompasses all these sources.
for R80.40 Management API Reference v 1.6.1 There are four ways to communicate use the management APIs: Typing API commands from a dialog inside the SmartConsole GUI application. Typing API commands using the "mgmt_cli" executable (available in both Windows, Linux/Gaia flavors). Typing API commands using Gaia's secure shell (clish). Sending API commands over an https connection using web-services https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#introduction~v1.6.1%20
from CCSE R80 guide: Command sources allow you to communicate with the API server and perform many tasks using management APIs. • The SmartConsole GUI console — From SmartConsole, click the Command Line button to open a CLI window and enter API commands. For example, you can use the add host command to create a new host and then publish the changes. • The mgmt_cli Tool — Runs in Expert mode and lets you enter commands from a Windows or Linux computer. mgmt_cli uses the same authentication (username and password) as the GUI client; however, it does not require a GUI installation. • Gaia CLI — Log in to Gaia with an administrator account on the Security Management Server and enter API commands using Clish. • Web Services — Send HTTPS Post requests to the Security Management Server.
Had this question today in exam.
Can someone give me the link to the CCSE R80 guide book please
