Hi Team, Need to take firewall backup in XML as we do it in GUI -export configuration. Can this be possible.

regards, vTechworld

We have the ability to create the create, retrieve, and set a DFW saved configurations, just like in the UI.

The cmdlets you are looking for are:

Get-NsxFirewallSavedConfiguration
New-NsxFirewallSavedConfiguration
Remove-NsxFirewallSavedConfiguration
Set-NsxFirewallSavedConfiguration

we can export this using export-nsxobject right

yes in theory, though, depending on your requirement, you could just go Get-NsxFirewallSavedconfiguration | format-xml | set-content c:\temp\fwdump.xml
