Grace U.Feb 5, 2026The answer is B, cpinfo. This is the Check Point utility specifically designed to collect and bundle diagnostic and configuration information from a Security Gateway into a single output file, which is exactly what a "configuration report" refers to in this context. The other options are distractors worth knowing: infoCP and infoview are not real Check Point tools, so you can eliminate those quickly, and fw cpinfo is not valid syntax since cpinfo runs as its own standalone command, not as a sub-command of fw. When you see a question asking about gathering gateway configuration data for support or review purposes on R77, cpinfo is the tool Check Point has always pointed to, and that consistency makes it a reliable thing to memorize.
Ola B.Feb 6, 2026cpinfo is solid to know cold, but worth spinning up a lab and running "cpinfo -o output.txt" yourself so you see firsthand what actually lands in that file, because support cases often hinge on knowing which pieces of data cpinfo captures versus what you still have to pull manually.
Ola B.Jan 22, 2026cpinfo is the right call here. Spin up a lab gateway, run cpinfo on it, and you will see it pulls together a massive bundle of system info, logs, and config data into a single output file that Check Point support or your own review can parse.
Dejan C.Feb 8, 2026infoCP is what pulls that full gateway config snapshot, A all day.
Ola B.Feb 10, 2026Dejan, good effort but the answer is B on that one. infoCP does pull the gateway config, but it is specifically the show gateway command that returns the full snapshot with all active parameters in a readable format you can verify line by line.
