CLI Scripting to implement missing commands

Unibw — Fri, 28 Mar 2014 13:32:57 GMT

Hi,

in my opinion some commands are still missing in the PanOS CLI. I miss some features implemented in my conventional firewall to handle the policy rule set efficiently.

Some other vendor has the possibility to use so called op-scripts in the CLI. This scripts allow to implement own CLI commands using the built in API.

Is there already the possibility to use the PanOS-API from the PanOS CLI? Or are there plans to do this?

Best regards

Winfried

PanOS does not yet support op scripts on the cli.

But you can use REST api from web browser for scripting fucntions

Thanks, I knew that this is possible, but my idea is to have the functions still available even if nothing more but the serial console works.

You say "not yet". Do you know about plans to implement op scripts?

I have not seen an op script feature in any roadmap presentation yet.
