vShield Edge Appliance Easier Config Options with CLI - Help

[nicholas1982]

Hi All,

I'm currently deploying vShield Network edge appliances in my environment, I have a list of default firewall rules, aliases, services, which I need to use on all edge appliances, but I'm having to manually configure these for every appliance.

Is there an easier way to replicate the config, perhaps CLI or PowerCLI ?

There's a vCO script that will help you.

All the commands talk about show and clear. there is nothing to copy a firewall configuration in vShield CLi

Thanks Abhilash,

That scripts doesn't seem very intuitive, like if I want to copy the config of edge-9 to edge-13 is that possible ?

I haven't worked with them too. may be you will have to put the script in a workflow and then map the bindings of inputs.
