Virtual IP (VIP) objects defined as an IP range are now searchable by an IP in the range 7.2.2

Virtual IP (VIP) objects defined as an IP range are now searchable by an IP in the range.

When searching for a VIP object by the first or last IP in the range, search results will return the VIP object in the search results using either Simple and Strict search.

To search for Virtual IP ranges in policies:

1. Create Virtual IP (VIP) objects.
   1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations > Firewall Objects > Virtual IPs.
   2. Click Create New, and create your Virtual IP address objects.
      In the example below, the following objects are created:
      
      • vip1 with an External IP Address Range of 172.16.10.10 to 172.16.10.11 and a Mapped IPv4 Address Range of 192.168.10.10 to 192.168.10.11.
      • vip2 with an External IP Address Range of 10.20.11.1 to 10.20.11.2 and a Mapped IPv4 Address Range of 10.30.1.1 to 10.30.1.2.
        
2. Create policies using the Virtual IP objects.
   
3. In the Firewall Policy search field, search for the first or last IP in the VIP range.
   For example, searching for 172.16.10.11 highlights the VIP1 object in the search results.
   
   You can also use Strict search to show only exact matches, excluding "all" results.
