Checkpoint UTM Appliance or Open Server/Power ?


UTM or Power ? How do you know when logged in with ssh what type of machine you are working with ? I know 3 ways to find it:

  1. By the interfaces names , see the difference:

Open Server/VPN Power -

(output edited for conciseness)
Here you will see usual output as seen on any Linux- installed server.
[Expert@CP]# ifconfig

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:33:12:FD:47:92
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:33:12:FD:47:12
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:33:12:FD:47:55
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
  1. By installed products names (seen it on cpug.org forum somewhere) :

[Expert@CP]#sysconfig
-> Option 10 "Product installatiuon.." -> Next -> Yes , it then presents you with products available for this hardware .

  1. Yet another way - this time Checkpoint provided us:

/bin/is_power
/bin/is_appliance

When running each of these it prints out to the terminal either 0 or nothing, the tool that prints nothing identifies the type of the software we are working with. If you know of other ways to find it feel free to share.
