      Hey Guys,
      I'm a little new to pfSense and was recently asked to change some settings to some of our firewalls.  I'm looking for a way to push settings to them so I don't have to SSH or connect via Web to apply the changes manually.  Anywhere know where I can find a guide to help me out or if it's even possible?

      The settings I want to push are DNS IP's, DNS Forwarders and LDAP authentication.  I already have all the settings tested so I just need to push.

      Thanks. :)

        I figured out that we can change most of the configuration in the /cf/conf/config.xml but I don't know how to target the specific sections or how to push then via script once I do.

          Is this something of interest? https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_pfSense_Hardware_Redundancy_%28CARP%29

            You could use rsync to copy the file(s) from firewall to firewall, assuming you have the right ports open across the back of all the systems: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/index.html
