Create EDL, first line invalid

L2 Linker
Hi, trying to create an dynamic IP-List (EDL) including two subnets:

10.0.1.0/24
10.0.2.0/24

The firewall downloads the list but displays the following error "Valid entries(1) lines skipped(1)" and when I display the list only 10.0.2.0/24 shows up. If I add an comment at the very top of the list it all works. Can anyone explain why?

#My list
10.0.1.0/24
10.0.2.0/24

Valid entries(2) lines skipped(1)

Looks like Windows create a strange char in the beginning of the file. (<U+FEFF>) The order does not matter or how many entries I put in the list. As long as the IP-numbers begins at line 2 all works perfect.

Hi,

Not sure I understand where to put this ;

Just to clarify, the last example works and both subnets shows up in the list.

Sorry, I have misread your issue. Don't really know why it does matter for the firewall

 Hi PerTenggren,

 

I think the first character is not being liked for some reason. I think the first character can either be space, comment or an address.

 

Can you share the list for both cases?

You may want to double-check the formatting of the list file. Ensure that the same carriage return/line feed character is being used for both addresses.

 

Try a couple troubleshooting steps:

  • Add a 3rd subnet, see if it takes the bottom two or only the last one.
  • Swap the order to see if the problem follows the location or the address.
  • If you've got a header in the file, remove that and start only with the first address.
  • Try using a range to see if that works (10.0.1.0-10.0.1.254)

Palo seems fussy about non-displayed characters in the text file. Even the use of carriage return and line feed, as it differs between Windows and Unix text file variants, can mess it up.
