About UUIDs for CFS Profile Objects

SonicOS 6.5.3 (and higher) automatically generates and binds UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) for the Content Filter objects.

A UUID consists of 32 hexadecimal digits displayed in five-character groups that are separated by hyphens. A UUID is generated at the creation of an object and remains the same thereafter, even when the object is modified or after rebooting the firewall. The UUID is removed when the object is deleted and is not reused once removed. UUIDs are regenerated after restarting the appliance with factory default settings.
