Kindly suggest the automatic way to add bulk static routes via CLI in fortinet firewalls.

 

The syntax showed in below is to add a single static route.

configure routing static

edit 1

set gateway 172.100.20.5

set distance 10

set device port2

set dst 0.0.0.0

end

end

 

But i have a requirement to add the automatic way to add bulk static routes via CLI from the raw data in excel/notepad with network and gateway details

 

Kindly help and Thanks in Advance

 

Cheers

Siva

hi,

 

and welcome to the forums.

 

Your task is not complicated. Write a wrapper script which translates your data into the syntax you posted. This could be DOS commands, powershell, VBA...whatever you are proficient in.

 

Use "edit 0" for automatic numbering. Save as a text file and import via Bulk command (System > Advanced).

 

You may search the forum for "bulk" to see how other members have solved this. Examples are usually for bulk import of addresses but maybe you can adapt it.
