vsys_dg
-
Deprecated
Use vsys to specify the vsys instead.
Name of the vsys (if firewall) or device group (if panorama) to put this object.
zone_name
-
Name of the zone for the interface.
If the zone does not exist it is created.
If the zone already exists its mode should match mode.

Notes

Note

  • Checkmode is supported.

  • If the PAN-OS device is a firewall and vsys is not specified, then the vsys will default to vsys=vsys1.

  • PAN-OS connectivity should be specified using provider or the classic PAN-OS connectivity params (ip_address, username, password, api_key, and port). If both are present, then the classic params are ignored.

Examples

# Create ethernet1/1 as DHCP.
- name: enable DHCP client on ethernet1/1 in zone public
  panos_interface:
    provider: '{{ provider }}'
    if_name: "ethernet1/1"
    zone_name: "public"
    create_default_route: "yes"

# Update ethernet1/2 with a static IP address in zone dmz.
- name: ethernet1/2 as static in zone dmz
  panos_interface:
    provider: '{{ provider }}'
    if_name: "ethernet1/2"
    mode: "layer3"
    ip: ["10.1.1.1/24"]
    enable_dhcp: false
    zone_name: "dmz"
