Update a Virtual Router (REST API)

Retrieve the existing virtual router named default.

Before you update an existing virtual router by adding a new interface, you should retrieve the virtual router to identify interfaces that are already assigned to that virtual router.

 curl -X GET 'https://<firewall>/restapi/v11.0/Network/VirtualRouters' --header 'X-PAN-KEY: <api-key>’
					

A successful response returns a list of existing virtual routers and includes detailed information for each one. The response object for this request is large, so the example response below shows a partial response object. You can see the list of existing interfaces, which will be necessary to include as request body parameters if you are updating the interface list in the virtual router. If the router were to include other configuration items such as protocol information or routes, you would need to include these in the update as well.

{
  "@status": "success",
  "@code": "19",
  "result": {
    "@count": "1",
    "entry": [
      {
        "@name": "default",
        "@location": "panorama-pushed",
        "interface": {
          "member": [
            "ethernet1/4"
          ],
          "routing-table": {},
          "protocol": {},
          "admin-dists": {},
          "ecmp": {}
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}
