fortios_switch_controller_flow_tracking – Configure FortiSwitch flow tracking and export via ipfix/netflow in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.¶
New in version 2.9.
Synopsis¶
- This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify switch_controller feature and flow_tracking category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.4.0
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- ansible>=2.9.0
Parameters¶
- access_token - Token-based authentication. Generated from GUI of Fortigate. type: str required: False
- vdom - 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. type: str default: root
- switch_controller_flow_tracking - Configure FortiSwitch flow tracking and export via ipfix/netflow. type: dict
- aggregates - Configure aggregates in which all traffic sessions matching the IP Address will be grouped into the same flow. type: list
- id - Aggregate id. type: int required: True
- ip - IP address to group all matching traffic sessions to a flow. type: str
- collector_ip - Configure collector ip address. type: str
- collector_port - Configure collector port number(0-65535). type: int
- format - Configure flow tracking protocol. type: str choices: netflow1, netflow5, netflow9, ipfix
- level - Configure flow tracking level. type: str choices: vlan, ip, port, proto, mac
- max_export_pkt_size - Configure flow max export packet size (512-9216). type: int
- sample_mode - Configure sample mode for the flow tracking. type: str choices: local, perimeter, device-ingress
- sample_rate - Configure sample rate for the perimeter and device-ingress sampling(0 - 99999). type: int
- timeout_general - Configure flow session general timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_icmp - Configure flow session ICMP timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_max - Configure flow session max timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_tcp - Configure flow session TCP timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_tcp_fin - Configure flow session TCP FIN timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_tcp_rst - Configure flow session TCP RST timeout (60-604800). type: int
- timeout_udp - Configure flow session UDP timeout (60-604800). type: int
- transport - Configure L4 transport protocol for exporting packets. type: str choices: udp, tcp, sctp
