Synopsis ¶

This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS by allowing the user to set and modify wanopt feature and profile category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.2

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

fortiosapi>=0.9.8

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
host - / required				FortiOS or FortiGate ip address.
https boolean			Choices: no yes ←	Indicates if the requests towards FortiGate must use HTTPS protocol
password -			Default: ""	FortiOS or FortiGate password.
username - / required				FortiOS or FortiGate username.
vdom -			Default: "root"	Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit.
wanopt_profile -			Default: null	Configure WAN optimization profiles.
	auth-group -			Optionally add an authentication group to restrict access to the WAN Optimization tunnel to peers in the authentication group. Source wanopt.auth-group.name.
	cifs -			Enable/disable CIFS (Windows sharing) WAN Optimization and configure CIFS WAN Optimization features.
		byte-caching -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable byte-caching for HTTP. Byte caching reduces the amount of traffic by caching file data sent across the WAN and in future serving if from the cache.
		log-traffic -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable logging.
		port -		Single port number or port number range for CIFS. Only packets with a destination port number that matches this port number or range are accepted by this profile.
		prefer-chunking -	Choices: dynamic fix	Select dynamic or fixed-size data chunking for HTTP WAN Optimization.
		secure-tunnel -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable securing the WAN Opt tunnel using SSL. Secure and non-secure tunnels use the same TCP port (7810).

		byte-caching-opt -	Choices: mem-only mem-disk	Select whether TCP byte-caching uses system memory only or both memory and disk space.
		log-traffic -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable logging.
		port -		Single port number or port number range for TCP. Only packets with a destination port number that matches this port number or range are accepted by this profile.
		secure-tunnel -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable securing the WAN Opt tunnel using SSL. Secure and non-secure tunnels use the same TCP port (7810).
		ssl -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable SSL/TLS offloading.
		ssl-port -		Port on which to expect HTTPS traffic for SSL/TLS offloading.
		status -	Choices: enable disable	Enable/disable HTTP WAN Optimization.
