Export Object Addresses list

[bhelman]

I see there is a way to export policies, is there a similar way to export my objects/addresses?  I'm trying to do a little cleanup on my PA4020's and I'd like to send object lists to the people who requested their creation, to see if they are still valid.  By the way, it would be VERY helpful if I could add a comment to an object, so I know who asked me to create it (or why I created it).

Thanks.

You can export the config, but it will be in XML format.

Also when create the object, there is a small amount of space to name the object. That would be the only place to try to identify why you created the object.

thank you,

You might also change the config format to "set" and copy/paste the config from the command line:

admin@pan> set cli config-output-format set

admin@pan> configure

Entering configuration mode

admin@pan# show

set address-group LocalServers LocalServer1

set address-group LocalServers LocalServer2

set address-group LocalServers LocalServer3

set address-group LocalServers LocalServer4

set address LocalServer1 ip-netmask 10.154.194.3/32

set address LocalServer2 ip-netmask 10.154.194.20/32

set address LocalServer3 ip-netmask 10.154.194.24/32

set address LocalServer4 ip-netmask 10.154.173.15/32

set address LocalNetwork ip-netmask 10.154.0.0/16
