Hi All,
I want to download backup configuration in .XML format for palo alto PA220 device.
Any help would be appreciated.
This post is quite old, but we’re making an effort to clean up unanswered questions across the community and put a stronger process in place so posts are addressed within the expected SLA. Thanks for posting this in Network. I wanted to acknowledge it while we review the details.
For a PA-220 you can pull the XML config over SCP directly from the firewall CLI.
> scp export configuration from running-config.xml to USERNAME@SCP_SERVER_IP:/path/to/pa220-running-config.xml
bash
For the candidate config:
> scp export configuration from candidate-config.xml to USERNAME@SCP_SERVER_IP:/path/to/pa220-candidate-config.xml
USERNAME
The files exported this way are native Palo Alto XML configuration snapshots, so they’ll be in .xml format on the SCP server.
.xml
If you can add a little more context on the environment, version, and the exact goal or behavior you’re seeing, that will help the right product SME respond with a more targeted recommendation.
@John.Summers - Thank you for your response. I was able to successfully download the Palo Alto configuration. The file was downloaded with the default .config naming convention, while the content was in XML format. We have agreed to manually rename the file extension where required.
