Question

TCL Scripting

Is there anyone that could share an example of a TCL script that I can run on FortiManager to simply set the source-ip for FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer settings on multiple firewalls.  Rather than do this per device and have to change the source-ip in the script everytime, I'd like to do it to all devices at  once. 

 

The source ip will need to be the local vlan interface IP on each device.  The vlan interface is named the same for every location, so the only variable I should need to pull is the ip for that interface, then use that variable in the set src-ip command.

 

Any help would be appreciated, I'm not much of a TCL or REGEX guy. :(

    I'm relatively new to Fortimanager and keep learning for the best way to apply the config/operation model FMG offers to our operation.

    I don't know the syntax of TCL. But one thing I can tell now is if you define a meta field per device and define the value under each device,

    you can refer the meta field, say "src_addr", as $(src_addr) in a script, then run it against multiple devices you choose.

    Hello, I would recommend you to do with the templates that the FMG brings.
