Use the POST method to modify device configuration parameters
and list arrays
Use the POST method to modify device configuration parameters
To modify configuration parameters, use the POST method with the path and value parameters.
$ curl -k -u admin "https://ip-address/cgi-
bin/config.cgi/value?path=path&value=new_value" -X POST
where:
n
path is the path to the configuration parameter, in dot notation (for example,
ssh.service.enable).
n
new_value is the new value for the parameter.
For example, to disable the ssh service using curl:
$ curl -k -u admin "https://192.168.210.1/cgi-
bin/config.cgi/value?path=service.ssh.enable&value=false" -X POST
Enter host password for user 'admin':
{ "ok": true }
$
Use the POST method to add items to a list array
To add items to a list array, use the POST method with the path and append parameters. For
example, to add the external firewall zone to the ssh service:
$ curl -k -u admin "https://192.168.210.1/cgi-
bin/config.cgi/value?path=service.ssh.acl.zone&append=true&value=external" -X
POST
Enter host password for user 'admin':
{ "ok": true, "result": "service.ssh.acl.zone.4" }
$
Use the POST method to add objects to a list array
Objects in an array that require one or more underlying values can be set using the collapsed URI
parameter. We recommend including the -g option as well, to instruct curl to turn off globbing. The
below example would add a new static route for the WAN interface for the 1.2.4.0/24 destination
network:
$ curl -g -k -u admin "https://192.168.210.1/cgi-
bin/config.cgi/value?path=network.route.static&append=true&collapsed
[dst]=1.2.4.0/24&collapsed[interface]=/network/interface/wan" -X POST
Enter host password for user 'admin':
{ "ok": true, "result": "network.route.static.1" }
$
Use the DELETE method to remove items from a list array
To remove items from a list array, use the DELETE method. For example, using curl:
$ curl -k -u admin "https://192.168.210.1/cgi-bin/config.cgi/value?path=path
