fortios_ips_sensor – Configure IPS sensor in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

New in version 2.0.0.

Synopsis

  • This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify ips feature and sensor 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.
