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

Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
Token-based authentication. Generated from GUI of Fortigate. |
|
Enable/Disable logging for task. Choices:
|
|
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. |
|
Add or delete a member under specified attribute path. When member_state is specified, the state option is ignored. Choices:
|
|
Indicates whether to create or remove the object. Choices:
|
|
Configure software switch interfaces by grouping physical and WiFi interfaces. |
|
Allow any traffic between switch interfaces or require firewall policies to allow traffic between switch interfaces. Choices:
|
|
Duration for which MAC addresses are held in the ARP table (300 - 8640000 sec). |
|
Names of the interfaces that belong to the virtual switch. |
|
Interface name. Source system.interface.name. |
|
Interface name (name cannot be in use by any other interfaces, VLANs, or inter-VDOM links). |
|
Enable/disable port spanning. Port spanning echoes traffic received by the software switch to the span destination port. Choices:
|
|
SPAN destination port name. All traffic on the SPAN source ports is echoed to the SPAN destination port. Source system.interface.name. |
|
The direction in which the SPAN port operates, either: rx, tx, or both. Choices:
|
|
Physical interface name. Port spanning echoes all traffic on the SPAN source ports to the SPAN destination port. |
|
Physical interface name. Source system.interface.name. |
|
Type of switch based on functionality: switch for normal functionality, or hub to duplicate packets to all port members. Choices:
|
|
VDOM that the software switch belongs to. Source system.vdom.name. |
|
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: |
Notes
Note
Legacy fortiosapi has been deprecated, httpapi is the preferred way to run playbooks
The module supports check_mode.
