"show-nat-rulebase" returning empty "Manual Lower Rules"

Juan_Salas — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 16:19:48 GMT

WHAT AM I TRYING TO DO:
I am trying to document the NAT rules, so I created a python script using web API v1.1 to query an 80.10 checkpoint cluster.

PROBLEM:
The "show-nat-rulebase" web API call is returning empty "Manual Lower Rules" rulebase when there is a large number of manual rules created (more than 3000)
I've tested the same in a lab environment with 100 NAT rules and the "show-nat-rulebase" works as expected.

QUESTIONS:
Is this a known issue?
Could you help me find a workaround?

Thank you very much.

Hi Juan,

This sounds like it may be a bug/limitation. It may be best to get a TAC case raised to take a look.

Regards

Mark

Most of the API calls have a limit of 500 items being returned.

That said, if it's returning nothing, that's clearly a bug and the TAC should be engaged.
