Hi,

 

I am looking to append an address in the address group of fortigate appliance using ansible , I have used the module called fortios_firewall_addrgrp but it adds the new address in and deletes the old one,

 

could somebody please advise a way I could keep the existing addresses and then add a new one. I want to do this remotely in an automated manner.

 

please help in this if you can 

Kind Regards,

    haroonh,

     

    It doesn't appear to be an option in Ansible... that said, I found a python module for fortimanager that does allow it... You can create address objects with all the relevant details, add them to a group and install the policy afterward. 

     

    https://pypi.org/project/pyFortiManagerAPI/

     

    It's incredibly fast. Best of luck.
