What is the command to check the cluster status in CLI expert mode?

The command to check the cluster status in CLI expert mode is 'cphaprob stat'. This command is specifically designed for Check Point cluster members, allowing administrators to obtain critical information regarding the state of the cluster, including the synchronization status, active and standby members, as well as overall cluster health.

Using 'cphaprob stat' is essential for monitoring real-time cluster performance and troubleshooting any issues related to cluster connectivity or operational efficiency. It provides a comprehensive view, enabling users to see if the cluster is performing as expected and if the members are communicating correctly.

Other options, while related to firewall or network settings, do not fulfill the specific task of assessing the cluster status in the same manner. For instance, 'fw ctl stat' gives statistics about the kernel and connections but does not focus on cluster-specific metrics. Similarly, 'clusterXL stat' and 'clusterXL status' might reference cluster operations but do not provide the detailed real-time status information that 'cphaprob stat' does. Thus, using the correct command is vital for effective cluster management.
