Remove Duplicate Address Objects

L3 Networker

I have a number of address/service objects configured as Shared that were pushed to all firewalls.  As part of a hardware refresh, a firewall was imported into Panorama into a new device group.  The end result is now a lot of the Shared objects also exist duplicated in the device group.  I'd like to get rid of the all the duplicate objects in the DG and leave only the Shared one.   I tried renaming one of the objects from the device group and tried to find where it was used but those objects don't seem to rename in security policies.  It seems as though you can just delete the objects from the device group and the policies will still reference the objects in shared, but not sure that it won't create problems


What's the best way to clean this up?

Hi, if you have address object on shared with exactly same name, and will delete duplicate at device group level, this will not cause any issues, because it inherited top to down, until you overwrite it at dev group level.
