Scripting firewall rules

SimonLECLERCQ

I would like to automate the add of firewall rules inside sophos UTM 9 (software appliance). The idea is, once we have detect a suspicious IP into our network  to block it for good.

On my existing router, I am able to telnet the device and run a list of command to add a firewall rule in.

Can this be done with Sophos? 

i am trying to connect bia SSH and currently stuck with this but as soon as this will be done, do you know what is the command to run to add a firewall rule to bloack all traffic from a given IP address ? 

Thanks

    HI, Simon, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    If you insist on using the same approaches as you used with your previous tool, then you're better off staying with it.

    Are you certain that you need to do this if you have a UTM? That such traffic won't be blocked automatically by IPS, WAF, etc.? I don't use this approach anywhere except one location where the guy in charge of the web servers won't take the time with the UTM admin to test WAF.

    Cheers - Bob
