Overview

This Recommended Read highlights how to Import via XML Intervnetv4 objects.

Create the object

We have a KBA to create an Internetv4 Object in our KB: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000037154?language=en_US 

This KB uses a smaller script to create the objects via CLI. 

These object(s) are used to define the WAN in general. Uses cases like SD-WAN Policy-based Routes or NAT are possible.

If you do not want to create the object via script, you can use the XML Export in this thread. 

Using XML 

Simply download the .zip. (Located at the bottom of this RR)  Unzip it once (you should get a .tar) and upload the .tar to the SFOS Appliance in Backup & Firmware - Import Export.

Case Example

One example of the use case in PBR:

XML File

:Internetv4_version2.zip

  • Just FYI: There is a general problem in V18.5 MR2 and V19.0 EAP1, preventing this import. Objects already imported in a previous version are 100% functional. This is fixed in the upcoming Releases (V18.5 MR3 // V19.0 EAP2).
