Device Discovery devices can't be used in rules.

Please see attached screenshot of an auto-discovered device.

Device discovery, even if the IP is provided by the FG's DHCP  - may fail to collect the IP addresses of devices.

(firmware 6.0.12)

What am I missing? it is hard to believe that one is supposed to make IP objects manually for the use in FW rules.

 

Even  some devices are populated with IP address, they can't be used anyway (as source or destination in a rule) due to the message "One address, address group, or Internet service is required"

nope, Device detection cannot be used directly, at least not in v6.0.

But, using DHCP monitor, right click, you can

- create an address from an entry

- reserve an IP to this device

 

while the device is already identified.

Device detection has changed a lot in v6.2 and v6.4.
