XML Config to Ansible

Retired Member — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 12:38:39 GMT

Hi Guys,

I need to translate the base 'xml' config to 'ansible'.

I cannot locate any concrete information on doing the above:

- Management creation

- Policy definition

- Static Routes

- VPN i.e. Tunnel etc

etc

If I understand your question properly, you're wanting to take a downloaded firewall or Panorama XML config and turn it into an Ansible task that you could invoke in a playbook?

This would be awesome, but doesn't currently exist. It is something we've discussed having to help drive adoption of Ansible and Terraform.
