R80.30 - Updatable Objects - Country (Grouping)

Jerry — Mon, 20 May 2019 14:02:08 GMT

hi chaps (shekh-m8s) 🙂

quick one:

has any of you figured out how to GROUP Countries together in R80.30?

I'm referring to "updatable objects" as based on the sk126172 I cannot figure ... can I group such "network objects" or not ... very confusing + my customer thinks that Countries can be grouped together as net-obj but I don't believe it applies to R80.30.

can someone clarify this please? see enclosed.

and then ...

trying to group them out ...and have error when clicked OK 🙂

Hi Jerry,

At the moment we do not support adding updatable objects to groups.

We will see if it can be added to future versions, and in the meantime we will make sure we return a more informative error message.

Thanks Uriel. I do appreciate your response. Looking fwd to that functionality otherwise the rule containing all countries which you potentially allow/drop looks awful 😛

Hi Uriel,

We are almost 3 years on from the last post on this topic. has there been any changes to the last statement. ie is it now possible to group updatable objects?

Thanks

Greg

I just tried to do this on my R80.40 mgmt server, and I am getting the exact same error that he did three years ago. Maybe it's available in R81, but not holding my breath. I just opened a support ticket asking for an update. I will share what they tell me.

Hi, we added the option in R81.10

This was the reply I got from Checkpoint Support...

The limitation still exists in R81.10 as well. Unfortunately, there's no information on when this might be introduced.

This would be a very welcome addition if the functionality is ever added.
