Viewing information about a gateway
You can use GET requests to view information about gateways in a VPN topology.
There are two requests for viewing information about gateways in the VPN topology:
GET http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/central
— Shows information about gateways on the central gateways list.GET http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite
— Shows information about gateways on the satellite gateways list.
After opening the VPN topology, use this request to view information about a specific gateway node:
GET http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/67
The request returns a 200 HTTP status response code and this result:
{
"child_node":["http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/65"],
"gateway":"http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/fw_cluster/1588/internal_gateway/67",
"key":67,
"link":[
{
"href":"http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/67",
"rel":"self",
"type":"satellite_gateway_node"
},
{
"href":"http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/67/sites/enabled",
"rel":"vpn_site",
"type":"vpn_site"
},
{
"href":"http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/67/sites/disabled",
"rel":"vpn_site",
"type":"vpn_site"
}
],
"node_usage":"satellite",
"parent_node":"http://localhost:8082/7.2.1/elements/vpn/5/gateway_tree_nodes/satellite/66",
"vpn_key":5
}
Note: The gateway_tree_nodes data element represents nodes in the VPN topology tree. The internal_gateway attribute gives access to the gateway data element.
