How to search hosts within object explorer

[Raj_Khatri]

In the search bar, you can search for an IP Address, which returns the IP of the host object.  However, you cannot search for a NAT IP Address.  You could do this previously, but not in R80.

Any ideas if this is fixed in R80 GA or plans to get this working in a future hotfix?

This is a limitation of R80 and is planned to be resolved in the next releases.

For this release, other workarounds that you can try are

- from the Object Explorer: after you make sure that you see the NAT column, select Actions-->Export and have all the objects in a CSV file

- use the Check Point API "show hosts" command to grep the block which contains the NATted IP.

Search for NATted address works with R80.10 when using the Object Explorer.

Another way to search by NAT address is to bring up the Legacy SmartDashboard via "Manage & Settings...Blades...Configure in SmartDashboard", then use the Objects List tab to search by NAT address just as you did in R77.XX.  However changes cannot be made back in the R80 SmartConsole while the legacy SmartDashboard is open.
