fortios_firewall_multicast_policy – Configure multicast NAT policies 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 firewall feature and multicast_policy 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

Tips

Using member operation to add an element to an existing object.

FortiOS Version Compatibility

Notes

Note

  • We highly recommend using your own value as the 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
