Sometimes it is useful to load part of a configuration from a file into the Palo Alto candidate configuration.
This command loads the shared configuration into the new path from an uploaded file.
load config partial from-xpath /config/shared/ to-xpath /config/shared mode merge from filename.xml
load config partial from-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/address-group to-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/address-group from Old-Config.xml
The configuration within Panorama is quite a bit longer, and you’ll need to be mindful if you should import into the device group or the template as well of the pre or post-rulebase.
load config partial from-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase to-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/device-group/entry[@name='DG-Example']/pre-rulebase mode merge from Example.xml
Here is another example showing how to copy a template.
load config partial from-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/template/entry[@name='Source'] to-xpath /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/template/entry[@name='Destination'] mode merge from Example.xml
