Enable/Disable rule

[chkhalafov]

Dear developers

How I can enable/disable the rule without affecting other parameters of the rule?
I tried: security_rule = SecurityRule("Disaster-Allow", disabled=False)

But in this case, "pandevice" requires an action parameter.
security_rule = SecurityRule("Disaster-Allow", disabled=False, action="allow") this works but, if not define source/destination zones/addresses it add "any" as source/destination zone/address. It is not comfortable to define all parameters of the rule.

Is there any method to solve this?

Few different ways to do this.

If you have multiple params you want to change about an object, you can .apply() it. But if you just want to update a single param, you can use update:

from panos.firewall import Firewall
from panos.policies import Rulebase, SecurityRule

fw = Firewall(.........)

base = Rulebase()
fw.add(base)

rule = SecurityRule("rule name here", disabled=True)
base.add(rule)

rule.update("disabled")

Thank you. It is useful. But what about removing the virtual router under the interface.
I've tried:

vr = network.VirtualRouter(name="default")
fw.add(vr)

vr.update("interface=ethernet1/1.10")

It returns an error. The script removes all interfaces under the default virtual router if the interface name is not defined.

Also, I tried:

my_interface = network.Interface("ethernet1/1.10")
fw.add(my_interface)
my_interface.set_virtual_router("default", refresh=True)
my_interface.update("default-router")

But there is no "default-router" keyword.

Is there any method to get all keywords for each object?
