UUIDs for CFS Objects
SonicOS automatically generates and binds UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) for these Content Filter objects and groups during their creation:
- URI List Object
- URI List Group
- CFS Action Object
- CFS Profile Object
SonicOS also generates and binds UUIDs to Content Filter Policies during creation. 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 cannot be reused once removed. UUIDs are regenerated after restarting the appliance with factory default settings.
By the default, UUIDs are not displayed in the table. You can customize the table columns to show the UUID column. For more information, refer to Common Actions with Objects Table.
When displayed, UUIDs appear in the CFS object tables for each object or group type.
CFS object UUIDs facilitate the following functions:
- You can search for a CFS object by UUID with the global search function of the management interface.
-
You can display the reference count and referring entity by hovering over the balloon on the CFS objects if an object with a UUID is referenced by another entity with a UUID.
When a CFS Action Object, CFS Profile Object, URI List Object, or URI List Group is used by a Content Filter Policy, you can display the reference count and referenced policy by hovering over the balloon in the Comment column on the object’s page under Object.
