How to output cli hierarchical structure

Not applicable

Is there a way to do a dump of the cli hierarchical structure to say a flat file?

In Unix, you could just capture the output of the configuration display.

% script pan.log

% ssh pa-firewall -l username

....

> set cli pager off

> set config-output-format set

> show config running

....

> exit

% exit

exit

Script done, file is pan.log

This will capture the hierarchial configuration and is more readable than the XML configuration.  Unfortunately, it will take some effort to manipulate this into the commands that would be entered at the command line.

By default if you are on CLI you can just run 'show config running' and it will output the full configs in hierarchical structure. Log the output and save as a TXT file. Is this what you are looking for? If not then perhaps you could elaborate more.

I was looking at the xml structures, and not sure how to build the xpath.

From the cli, if there was a dump command that could redirect the xml structure to a flat file to be used later.

perhaps you could export the configuration to another server?

scp export configuration from running-config.xml to <username>@<hostname>:<path-to-file>

Any of the named configuration versions can be exported in this fashion.

If you are searching for commands to enter on the cli, you can export the config simply entering:

- set cli pager off <enter>

- set cli config-output-format set <enter>

- configure <enter>

- show <enter>

Regards
