Adding bulk static routes via CLI in fortigate firewall

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.
