Export VS configuration in a format ready for VSX Provisioning Tools

Hi,

Is there a way to export all the configuration of a virtual system in a format ready for the vsx provisioning tool?

For example if I want to export all the routes and interfaes from a VS to fill a vsx provisioning tool "transaction file" to recreate the VS on another ,not connected, VSX gateway I prepare

ifconfig -a
netstat -nr

and then manually fill a sort of template that then i use as "transaction file"

It would be great to have an export that give me the "transaction file"
"transaction begin
add vd name BLABLA vsx BLABLA-GW type vs
add interface name bond1.XXX ip 192.168.9.1/25
add interface name bond1.YYY ip 192.168.93.1/24
add interface name bond1.AAA ip 192.168.9.129/25
...
...
transaction end"

thx!

I tried but is not so useful, it's good to obtain a repository to manually rebuild everything you need.
i was looking for anything that can reduce the "manul rebuild" 🙂

I suck with scripting ,i'll go for vi or notepad++ and excel 🙂

VSX provisioning tool is for this. It's in the VSX admin guide documentation.

i give a look, i' always used vsx_pt to create everything ,but i didn't know it can be use to export any configuration and so on. i use it from years and simply forgot the "show vd name" command 😐
