API based tool to save the Access Control Policy from FMC as CSV

Hello Everyone,

 

Very often as Network Administrator there is a need to save the ACP on the Firepower Management Center(FMC) as CSV, while the FMC in itself supports the policy import and export option as a full-fledged feature there is no way to save the ACP as CSV.

 

The script attached here solves the problem, however, this is not a replacement for the backup features from FMC.

 

Note: This tool by no means is a replacement for the policy import and export option of FMC. This tool is intended to have the CSV generated for ACP.


It does not take the backup of the objects or IPS/File Policy associated, it just gives a listing of the configuration.

 

What is supported:

1. Policy extraction from the FMC over API.
2. Extracts Zones, Networks, Applications, URL's, Users, IPS Policy, File Policy, Variable Sets, Logging configurations.
3. The output format is in CSV with ";" separated multiple entries within a specific field.
4. Currently supported only on FMC, no FDM support available.


Upcoming features:

1. Auto-listing of available policies across the domains.
2. Support for ISE/SGT attributes.

3. Writing the CSV backup as ACP to the FMC.

The tool will be updated every month with new features wherever applicable.

P.S: This is not an official tool, so please leave your comment/feedback below and we will try our best to address it as soon as possible.

 

Version 3: Support for large rule sets. @Anupam Pavithran
