fortinet.fortios.fortios_system_cluster_sync module – Configure FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol (FGSP) session synchronization in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

Note

This module is part of the fortinet.fortios collection (version 2.3.8).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

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

New in fortinet.fortios 2.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify system feature and cluster_sync 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>=2.15

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

access_token

member_path

string

Member attribute path to operate on.

Delimited by a slash character if there are more than one attribute.

Parameter marked with member_path is legitimate for doing member operation.

  • "absent"

state

string / required

Indicates whether to create or remove the object.

Choices:

  • "present"

  • "absent"

system_cluster_sync

Configure FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol (FGSP) session synchronization.

down_intfs_before_sess_sync

list / elements=dictionary

List of interfaces to be turned down before session synchronization is complete.

name

string / required

Interface name. Source system.interface.name.

hb_interval

integer

Heartbeat interval (1 - 10 sec).

IKE heartbeat interval (1 - 60 secs).

ike_monitor

string

Enable/disable IKE HA monitor.

Choices:

  • "disable"

ike_monitor_interval

integer

IKE HA monitor interval (10 - 300 secs).

ike_seqjump_speed

integer

ESP jump ahead factor (1G - 10G pps equivalent).

ipsec_tunnel_sync

string

Enable/disable IPsec tunnel synchronization.

Choices:

  • "enable"

  • "disable"

peerip

string

IP address of the interface on the peer unit that is used for the session synchronization link.

peervd

string

VDOM that contains the session synchronization link interface on the peer unit. Usually both peers would have the same peervd. Source system.vdom.name.

secondary_add_ipsec_routes

string

Enable/disable IKE route announcement on the backup unit.

Choices:

  • "enable"

  • "disable"

session_sync_filter

dictionary

Add one or more filters if you only want to synchronize some sessions. Use the filter to configure the types of sessions to synchronize.

custom_service

list / elements=dictionary

Only sessions using these custom services are synchronized. Use source and destination port ranges to define these custom services.

dst_port_range

string

Custom service destination port range.

id

integer / required

Custom service ID. see <a href=’#notes’>Notes</a>.

src_port_range

string

Custom service source port range.

dstaddr

string

Only sessions to this IPv4 address are synchronized.

dstaddr6

string

Only sessions to this IPv6 address are synchronized.

dstintf

string

Only sessions to this interface are synchronized. Source system.interface.name.

srcaddr

string

Only sessions from this IPv4 address are synchronized.

srcaddr6

string

Only sessions from this IPv6 address are synchronized.

srcintf

string

Only sessions from this interface are synchronized. Source system.interface.name.

slave_add_ike_routes

string

Enable/disable IKE route announcement on the backup unit.

Choices:

  • "enable"

  • "disable"

sync_id

integer / required

Sync ID. see <a href=’#notes’>Notes</a>.

syncvd

list / elements=dictionary

Sessions from these VDOMs are synchronized using this session synchronization configuration.

name

string / required

VDOM name. Source system.vdom.name.

vdom

string

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.

Default: "root"

Notes

Note

  • We highly recommend using your own value as the sync_id instead of 0, while ‘0’ is a special placeholder that allows the backend to assign the latest available number for the object, it does have limitations. Please find more details in Q&A.

  • Legacy fortiosapi has been deprecated, httpapi is the preferred way to run playbooks

  • The module supports check_mode.
