Create shared address object

TeckSeng — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 04:42:20 GMT

I'm using pandevice to create address object, and am able to create address object for specific device group but not a "Shared" object.

pano = panorama.Panorama(device_name, login_id, pwd)
panogrp = panorama.DeviceGroup('Group1')
pano.add(panogrp)

# Read input file
addrObj_df = pd.read_csv(file)

for index, row in addrObj_df.iterrows():
passed_obj_name = row['name']
passed_obj_value = row['value']
passed_obj_type = row['type']
passed_obj_description = row['description']

address_object = objects.AddressObject(name=passed_obj_name, value=passed_obj_value, type=passed_obj_type, description=passed_obj_description)
panogrp.add(address_object)
address_object.create()

When I change 'Group1' in panogrp = panorama.DeviceGroup('Shared') to 'Shared', the following error message received :

PanDeviceXapiError:  Shared 'Shared' is invalid. Reserved keyword (Shared) used for device group name

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Adding the address object as a child of the Panorama object itself is how you add things to "shared".

from panos.panorama import Panorama from panos.objects import AddressObject pano = Panorama(host, user, passwd) obj = AddressObject("dmz network", "10.50.75.0/24") pano.add(obj) obj.create()
