HIP Objects General Tab

•

Objects > GlobalProtect > HIP Objects > <hip-object> > General

Select the General tab to specify a name for the new HIP object and configure the object to match against general host information such as domain, operating system, or the type of network connectivity it has.

Name

Enter a name for the HIP object (up to 31 characters). The name is case-sensitive and must be unique. Use only letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

Shared

If you select Shared, the current HIP objects become available to:

Every virtual system (vsys) on the firewall, if you are logged in to a firewall that is in multiple virtual system mode. If you clear this selection, the object will be available to only the vsys selected in the Virtual System drop-down of the Objects tab. For a firewall that is not in multi-vsys mode, this option is not available in the HIP Object dialog.

All device groups on Panorama™. If you clear this selection, the object will be available only to the device group selected in the Device Group drop-down of the Objects tab.

After you save the object, you cannot change its Shared setting. Select Objects > GlobalProtect > HIP Objects to see the current Location.

Description

(Optional) Enter a description.

Host Info

Select this option to activate the options for configuring the host information.

Managed

Filter based on whether the endpoint is managed or not managed. To match endpoints that are managed, select Yes. To match endpoints that are not managed, select No.

Disable override (Panorama only)

Controls override access to the HIP object in the device groups that are descendants of the Device Group selected in the Objects tab. Select this option to prevent administrators from creating local copies of the object in descendant device groups by overriding its inherited values. This option is cleared by default (override is enabled).

Domain

To match on a domain name, choose an operator from the drop-down and enter a string to match.

To match on a host OS, choose Contains from the first drop-down, select a vendor from the second drop-down, and then select an OS version from the third drop-down; or you can select All to match on any OS version from the selected vendor.

Client Version

To match on a specific version number, select an operator from the drop-down and then enter a string to match (or not match) in the text box.

Host Name

To match on a specific host name or part of a host name, select an operator from the drop-down and then enter a string to match (or not match, depending on what operator you selected) in the text box.

Host ID

The host ID is a unique ID that GlobalProtect assigns to identify the host. The host ID value varies by device type:

•

Windows—Machine GUID stored in the Windows registry (HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineGuid)

•

macOS—MAC address of the first built-in physical network interface

•

Android—Android ID

•

iOS—UDID

•

Linux—Product UUID retrieved from the system DMI table

•

Chrome—GlobalProtect-assigned unique alphanumeric string with length of 32 characters

To match on a specific host ID, select the operator from the drop-down and then enter a string to match (or not match, depending on what operator you selected) in the text box.

Serial Number

To match on all or part of an endpoint serial number, choose an operator from the drop-down and then enter a string to match.

Network

Use this field to enable filtering on a specific mobile device network configuration. This match criteria applies to mobile devices only.

Select an operator from the drop-down and then select the type of network connection to filter on from the second drop-down: Wifi, Mobile, Ethernet (available only for Is Not filters), or Unknown. After you select a network type, enter any additional strings to match on, if available, such as the Mobile Carrier or Wifi SSID.
