Search of firewall rules.

Question

How can I search the firewall rules for IPs and/or Networks? 
 We are currently switching from fortigate and entering an IP in a seach dialog results in displaying all rules which contain the IP or including networks. 
 Is this really not possible on an XG or am I missing something? This should be not to difficult to implement ...

Hi BeEF, 
 Can't you just do a search (top right) for the string?

You can also filter by source/destination IP with the 'add filter' option.

Hi, 
 As you are familiar with Fortigate and now switching to Sophos so it may take some time to understand the GUI and options such as hidden opening. The SOPHOS XG firewall is having a RULE filter option on the TOP of Firewall Section.

You can filter With Source ZONE, Destination ZONE, Rules type, Status of Rule and you can search with Rule ID. The SOPHOS does not have a search with an IP address.

Hi, 
 I agree with you. I know that this feature in the development state but there is no ETA confirm from the SOPHOS team. A couple of days ago, I have spoken with Sophos India team on some other features also. You will see a big change in the V18 (I Hope). 
 But meanwhile, you can use Policy Tester for the same.
