CIS 5.3: "Rule with such parameters already exists" but rules are different[318]

The bug/issue

  1. What you did:
    Under Firewall > Network Security Policy > Global Rules I added 2 custom rules.
    First rule: Allow TCP/UDP IN where DESTINATION PORT is SINGLE PORT 40000
    Second Rule: Allow TCP/UDP IN where DESTINATION PORT is SINGLE PORT 40001
  2. What actually happened or you actually saw: After clicking Apply on the second rule I received a message: “Rule with such parameters already exists”
  3. What you expected to happen or see: No message to pop-up as rules are different.
  4. How you tried to fix it & what happened: There is no fix, I simply ignored the message
  5. If its an application compatibility problem have you tried the application fixes here?: not applicable
  6. Details (exact version) of any application involved with download link: not applicable
  7. Whether you can make the problem happen again, and if so exact steps to make it happen: Yes, see point 1.
  8. Any other information (eg your guess regarding the cause, with reasons): CIS is not checking for port number when comparing rules

WHY WE ASK YOU TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES
Bugs/issues can be impossible or very time consuming to fix if developers don’t have enough information to reproduce them. Since CIS is free, development time is limited. So if you want your issue fixed, please use the format below to describe it.

To avoid clutter, issues not described in the format below your post will not be moved to the ‘moderator verified’ issues topic. This means that the developers may not look at it.

Best wishes and many thanks in anticipation
