Device groups - PHP exceptions

Hello all,

I wanted to create a “Device group” with dynamic assignment based on IP range. I’ve create the group, added rule and now I can’t access “Device groups” in the webui - I am getting PHP exceptions.

Output of validate.php:

Not sure if I hit some bug or did I something wrong?

Thank you in advance!

A little of both, maybe? The thing to remember here is that your basically writing the underlying SQL statement. From what I can tell you did a rule for ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address IN 10.101.0.0/16 but SQL doesn’t really do subnet maths so that produces an error. You would need to match it like a string, maybe something like ipv4_addresses.ipv4_address regex 10.101.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}

That said it’s a shame the query parser wasn’t able to detect the error before inserting it into the database.

You’re probably going to have to manually remove the bad entry from the device_groups table to restore access the device groups page. Report back if you need help with that.
