fortios_firewall_shaper_traffic_shaper – Configure shared traffic shaper in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

Added 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_shaper feature and traffic_shaper 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

Supported Version Ranges: v6.0.0 -> v7.6.0

    • bandwidth_unit - Unit of measurement for guaranteed and maximum bandwidth for this shaper (Kbps, Mbps or Gbps). type: str choices: kbps, mbps, gbps more...
    • cos - VLAN CoS mark. type: str more...
    • cos_marking - Enable/disable VLAN CoS marking. type: str choices: enable, disable more...
    • cos_marking_method - Select VLAN CoS marking method. type: str choices: multi-stage, static more...

    • exceed_cos - VLAN CoS mark for traffic in [guaranteed-bandwidth, exceed-bandwidth]. type: str more...
    • exceed_dscp - DSCP mark for traffic in guaranteed-bandwidth and exceed-bandwidth. type: str more...
    • guaranteed_bandwidth - Amount of bandwidth guaranteed for this shaper (0 - 80000000). Units depend on the bandwidth-unit setting. type: int more...
    • maximum_bandwidth - Upper bandwidth limit enforced by this shaper (0 - 80000000). 0 means no limit. Units depend on the bandwidth-unit setting. type: int more...
    • maximum_cos - VLAN CoS mark for traffic in [exceed-bandwidth, maximum-bandwidth]. type: str more...
    • maximum_dscp - DSCP mark for traffic in exceed-bandwidth and maximum-bandwidth. type: str more...
    • name - Traffic shaper name. type: str required: true more...
    • overhead - Per-packet size overhead used in rate computations. type: int more...
    • per_policy - Enable/disable applying a separate shaper for each policy. For example, if enabled the guaranteed bandwidth is applied separately for each policy. type: str choices: disable, enable more...
    • priority - Higher priority traffic is more likely to be forwarded without delays and without compromising the guaranteed bandwidth. type: str choices: low, medium, high more...

Notes

Note

  • Legacy fortiosapi has been deprecated, httpapi is the preferred way to run playbooks

  • The module supports check_mode.
