F5 CLI XML Formatting question...

[sackman]

Hello everyone,

Palo Alto firewalls support the ability to change how the configuration is displayed within the CLI from XML to set (set cli config-output-format set). Does the F5 support this option with a similar command?

Thanks!

I also work with palo alto and I don't think there is such option in F5 cli preferences (https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K77130210) for example to see the running config as "tmsh xxx" similar to the palo alto "set" output. You can only see it in JSON format 😞

You can still see some possible options below:

 F5 SCF config files:

Youcan export/import some config in CVS format:

You can also copy and paste large config blocks from a terminal:

There is no set or xml format in F5. Its just JSON.
