About UUIDs for Address Objects and Groups
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 36-character string (32 alphanumeric characters and four hyphens) that is used to uniquely identify address objects and groups, among other entities, on SonicWall network security appliances. The SonicOS UUID is a system-generated, read-only internal value with these properties:
- A UUID is a unique representation of a SonicOS entity across the network.
- A UUID is generated at creation of an entity and removed at the deletion of the entity. It is not reused once it is removed.
- When an entity is modified, the UUID stays the same.
- UUIDs are regenerated after restarting the appliance with factory default settings.
By default, UUIDs are not displayed. UUID display is controlled by internal settings. For more information about internal settings, contact SonicWall Technical Support.
When displayed, UUIDs appear in the tables for each object or group type.
UUIDs facilitate the following functions:
- You can search for an address object or group by UUID with the global search function of the management interface.
- If an object or group object with a UUID is referenced by another entity with a UUID, you can display the reference count and referring entities by mousing over the Comment column on the Addresses page under Object.
