    Clone Configuration

    Use
    action=clone
     to clone an existing configuration object. Use the
    xpath
     parameter to specify the location of the object to be cloned. Use the
    from
     parameter to specify the source object, and the
    newname
     parameter to provide a name for the cloned object.
    1. Use the following API query to clone a security policy called rule1 to rule2:
      https://
      <firewall>
      /api/?type=config&action=clone&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase/security/rules&from=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase/security/rules/entry[@name='rule1']&newname=rule2
    2. Confirm that the XML response for the request looks like the following:
      <response status="success" name="rule2"/>
      A corresponding success log is recorded in the Configuration log:
      1,2014/03/19 19:07:45,0009C100708,CONFIG,0,0,2014/03/19
