fortinet.fortios.fortios_system_switch_interface – Configure software switch interfaces by grouping physical and WiFi interfaces in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

Note

This plugin is part of the fortinet.fortios collection (version 1.1.9).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: fortinet.fortios.fortios_system_switch_interface.

New in version 2.9: of fortinet.fortios

Synopsis

• This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify system feature and switch_interface category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.0

Requirements

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

• ansible>=2.9.0

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
access_token string				Token-based authentication. Generated from GUI of Fortigate.
state string / required			Choices: present absent	Indicates whether to create or remove the object.
system_switch_interface dictionary				Configure software switch interfaces by grouping physical and WiFi interfaces.
	intra_switch_policy string		Choices: implicit explicit	Allow any traffic between switch interfaces or require firewall policies to allow traffic between switch interfaces.
	member list / elements=string			Names of the interfaces that belong to the virtual switch.
		interface_name string		Physical interface name. Source system.interface.name.
	name string / required			Interface name (name cannot be in use by any other interfaces, VLANs, or inter-VDOM links).
	span string		Choices: disable enable	Enable/disable port spanning. Port spanning echoes traffic received by the software switch to the span destination port.
	span_dest_port string			SPAN destination port name. All traffic on the SPAN source ports is echoed to the SPAN destination port. Source system.interface.name.
	span_direction string		Choices: rx tx both	The direction in which the SPAN port operates, either: rx, tx, or both.
	span_source_port list / elements=string			Physical interface name. Port spanning echoes all traffic on the SPAN source ports to the SPAN destination port.
		interface_name string		Physical interface name. Source system.interface.name.
	type string		Choices: switch hub	Type of switch based on functionality: switch for normal functionality, or hub to duplicate packets to all port members.
	vdom string			VDOM that the software switch belongs to. Source system.vdom.name.
vdom string			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.
