export_policies_from_srx

Exporting a policy configuration from a Juniper device to a CSV and XSL readable for Chief

PROBLEM OR GOAL: How can I export a policy configuration from a SRX device to a XML-compliant spreadsheet?

SOLUTION: junos-device# show security policies | display xml | no-more

We can save the result to file and open in MS Exel or other application. But this format inconvenient for edit.

1) junos-device# show security policies | display xml | no-more

2) save result in file polixy.xml

3) editable in script "_address" and "_appication" dictionaries according to your configuration

### example 1 : if your configuration file contains 
### set applications application TCP_1433 protocol tcp
### set applications application TCP_1433 destination-port 1433
### set applications application TCP_1433 inactivity-timeout 43200
###
### add to _application variable "TCP_1433": "tcp/143 inactivity-timeout 43200"
###
### exaple 2: if your configuration file contains
### set security zones security-zone untrust address-book address NTP_1 8.8.8.8/32
### 
### add to _address variable "NTP_1": "8.8.8.8/32"

4) run python script export_policies_from_srx.py and get csv result

BUT WE HAVE ONE PROBLEM: The name of source, destination and application must not contain symbol "-"
