Description

Describe the problem

Currently the documentation provides examples on bulk configuring objects, address groups, or policies. There is no example on configuring network portions on a Palo Alto device.

Suggested fix

For example, configuring OSPF under the default virtual router or any other routing protocol. This could show network engineers/operators how to use the library to configure the routing portions of their Palo Alto devices using python. Thank you for all the work on this tool!

Research direction

Start by locating the existing documentation examples for bulk-configuring objects, address groups, and policies, then find the library's routing or OSPF entry points. Add an example showing OSPF configuration under the default virtual router, and verify that the documentation presents a usable Python workflow for network operators.
