R80.20 Updatable Domain Objects and CLI Commands

 

An updatable object (new in R80.20 and above) is a network object that represents an external service, such as Office 365, AWS, GEO locations and more. External services providers publish lists of IP addresses, or Domains, or both, to allow access to their services. These lists are dynamically updated. Updatable objects derive their contents from these published lists of the providers, which Check Point uploads to the Check Point cloud. The updatable objects are updated automatically on the Security Gateway each time the provider changes a list. There is no need to install policy for the updates to take effect. You can use an updatable object in the Access Control policy as a source, or a destination.

I didn't find anything on the CLI commands in the documentation. Here my knowledge from the reverse engineering.

In 80.20 and above you can run the tool "domains_tool" to show domain object informations.

# domains_tool -d update.microsoft.com   =>  show which IP is associated to a domain object

# domains_tool -ip 1.2.3.4                              => search and privide a list of domains for IP

For more informations about updatable object see sk131852.

Because there are underlying Dynamic Objects involved, you should be able to see the IPs involved.

The domains_tool command is documented in the Internal notes of sk131852.

see sk161632  for further details.

the flag -uo  allows to check if the <updatable object name> is in the policy and returns a list of the domains it holds

domains_tool -uo "Office365 Services"

Domain tool looking for domains for 'Office365 Services' and its children object s:

Domains name list for 'Exchange Services':

[1] admin.protection.outlook.com
[2] nam01.dataservice.protection.outlook.com
[3] nam01.admin.protection.outlook.com
[4] na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com

.....

 

domains_tool -d admin.protection.outlook.com

...

Wait for the next chunk...

Now two SK's:

sk131852 -> Updatable Objects in R80.20 and above 
and
sk161632 -> Domains Tool (domains_tool)

Is there a possibility/tool to view the current ip addresses held by an updatable object? The domains_tool returns the list of domains held by an updatable object, but no ip addresses. So, how can we sure that a certain ip is included/held by the object.
It would be great to have an option to get the list of ip's held by the object.
