fortios_ips_global – Configure IPS global parameter 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 global 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 -> 7.4.3

    • exclude_signatures - Excluded signatures. type: str choices: none, ot, industrial more...
    • fail_open - Enable to allow traffic if the IPS buffer is full. Default is disable and IPS traffic is blocked when the IPS buffer is full. type: str choices: enable, disable more...

    • session_limit_mode - Method of counting concurrent sessions used by session limit anomalies. Choose between greater accuracy (accurate) or improved performance (heuristics). type: str choices: accurate, heuristic more...
    • skype_client_public_ipaddr - Public IP addresses of your network that receive Skype sessions. Helps identify Skype sessions. Separate IP addresses with commas. type: str more...
    • socket_size - IPS socket buffer size. Max and default value depend on available memory. Can be changed to tune performance. type: int more...
    • sync_session_ttl - Enable/disable use of kernel session TTL for IPS sessions. type: str choices: enable, disable more...
    • tls_active_probe - TLS active probe configuration. type: dict more...
      • interface - Specify outgoing interface to reach server. Source system.interface.name. type: str more...
      • interface_select_method - Specify how to select outgoing interface to reach server. type: str choices: auto, sdwan, specify more...
      • source_ip - Source IP address used for TLS active probe. type: str more...
      • source_ip6 - Source IPv6 address used for TLS active probe. type: str more...
      • vdom - Virtual domain name for TLS active probe. Source system.vdom.name. type: str more...
    • traffic_submit - Enable/disable submitting attack data found by this FortiGate to FortiGuard. type: str choices: enable, disable more...

Notes

Note

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