Sophos Firewall: XML Import for Internetv4 Objects

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

  • Hi LuCar Toni,

    thank you for this solution. I found it because of the need to define SD-WAN rules. And when adding a rule on my XGS 18.5.4 in the help there is a help popup showing when the mouse pointer stays on "Any" in "Destination networks". In this animated help popup there are shown the "Internet IPv4..." objects you described here.

    In the past these objects where predefined in the Sophos UTM. Why do you have to create the objects yourself when the help directly refers to them? ;)

  • SFOSv19.0 and V19.5 include this object per default.
