replace
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Deprecated
This is the behavior of state=present, so this can safely be removed from your playbooks.

The secret is encrypted so the state cannot be compared.
This option forces removal of a matching item before applying the new config.
secret
-
Secret.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
The state.
template
string
(Panorama only) The template this operation should target. Mutually exclusive with template_stack.
template_stack
string
(Panorama only) The template stack this operation should target. Mutually exclusive with template.
username
string
Default:
"admin"
Deprecated
Use provider to specify PAN-OS connectivity instead.

The username to use for authentication. This is ignored if api_key is specified.
vr_name
-
Default:
"default"
Name of the virtual router; it must already exist; see panos_virtual_router.

Notes

Note

  • Checkmode is not supported.

  • Panorama is supported.

  • Since the secret value is encrypted in PAN-OS, there is no way to verify if the secret is properly set or not. Invoking this module with state=present will always apply the config to PAN-OS.

  • 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.

  • If the PAN-OS to be configured is Panorama, either template or template_stack must be specified.

Examples

- name: Create BGP Authentication Profile
  panos_bgp_auth:
    provider: '{{ provider }}'
    vr_name: 'my virtual router'
    name: auth-profile-1
    secret: SuperSecretCode
