Rule UID conversion

Wayne_Situ — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 19:37:09 GMT

does anyone know how to convert rule UID to rule number?

firewall rule UID

c21925f0-9eee-4ab0-9777-56b3dfbaa206

what's the rule number?

As far as I know, none of the API calls return the actual rule number.

The best you can get is the rule name using, say, show-object.

[Expert@MGMT:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show-object uid cdc6ad83-9b58-47f7-b4aa-39aaa059c662

object:

uid: "cdc6ad83-9b58-47f7-b4aa-39aaa059c662"

name: "Cleanup rule"

type: "access-rule"

domain:

uid: "41e821a0-3720-11e3-aa6e-0800200c9fde"

name: "SMC User"

domain-type: "domain"

It's a bit long-winded process as you need to dump the whole rulebase with "show access-rulebase" API command

There you can correlate UID vs rule #

Thanks guys.

I found a workaround. from R80.x dashboard, 'Actions\Go To Rule'. enter the rule UID would take me to that rule.
