RE:[spectrum] NCM for F5 and/or Palo Alto

Thu, 25 Jun 2015 08:10:03 -0700 

I back up both F5s and Palo Altos for a customer, however F5 configs aren't 
NCM-compatible (they're a hideous binary file) and Palo Alto configs are HUGE!  
The ones I tried to download into Spectrum actually blew the limit on the 
number of lines for the "diff" command to work when doing config comparisons.  
The F5 scripts I use are also used outside of Spectrum as you have to set up a 
backup schedule on the F5 itself then use a script to SCP or FTP the config 
back to a central repository (in our case D:\Backups on the Spectrum server, 
but it could theoretically be anywhere.)

I have some scripts and batch files I can share with the group later on (I'm 
actually procrastinating in a meeting right now!) but I strongly advise you do 
what we've done and script the config collections outside of Spectrum for these 
two particular devices.

Regards

Just curious is anyone has gotten NCM to successfully pull configs from Palo 
Alto Firewalls or F5 appliances?  If so could you share a basic script or 
instruction of how you got them to work?
