fortios_system_vxlan – Configure VXLAN devices in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

  • ansible>=2.9.0

Parameters

  • access_token - Token-based authentication. Generated from GUI of Fortigate. type: str required: False

  • state - Indicates whether to create or remove the object. type: str required: True choices: present, absent
  • system_vxlan - Configure VXLAN devices. type: dict
    • dstport - VXLAN destination port (1 - 65535). type: int
    • interface - Outgoing interface for VXLAN encapsulated traffic. Source system.interface.name. type: str
    • ip_version - IP version to use for the VXLAN interface and so for communication over the VXLAN. IPv4 or IPv6 unicast or multicast. type: str choices: ipv4-unicast, ipv6-unicast, ipv4-multicast, ipv6-multicast
    • multicast_ttl - VXLAN multicast TTL (1-255). type: int
    • name - VXLAN device or interface name. Must be a unique interface name. type: str required: True
    • remote_ip - IPv4 address of the VXLAN interface on the device at the remote end of the VXLAN. type: list
      • ip - IPv4 address. type: str required: True
    • remote_ip6 - IPv6 IP address of the VXLAN interface on the device at the remote end of the VXLAN. type: list
      • ip6 - IPv6 address. type: str required: True
    • vni - VXLAN network ID. type: int
