fortios_ips_global – Configure IPS global parameter in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis
- This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify ips feature and global category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.5
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- fortiosapi>=0.9.8
Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
host string | FortiOS or FortiGate IP address. | ||
https boolean |
| Indicates if the requests towards FortiGate must use HTTPS protocol. | |
ips_global dictionary | Default: null | Configure IPS global parameter. | |
anomaly_mode string |
| Global blocking mode for rate-based anomalies. | |
database string |
| Regular or extended IPS database. Regular protects against the latest common and in-the-wild attacks. Extended includes protection from legacy attacks. | |
deep_app_insp_db_limit integer | Limit on number of entries in deep application inspection database (1 - 2147483647, 0 = use recommended setting) | ||
deep_app_insp_timeout integer | Timeout for Deep application inspection (1 - 2147483647 sec., 0 = use recommended setting). | ||
engine_count integer | Number of IPS engines running. If set to the default value of 0, FortiOS sets the number to optimize performance depending on the number of CPU cores. | ||
exclude_signatures string |
| Excluded signatures. | |
fail_open string |
| Enable to allow traffic if the IPS process crashes. Default is disable and IPS traffic is blocked when the IPS process crashes. | |
intelligent_mode string |
| Enable/disable IPS adaptive scanning (intelligent mode). Intelligent mode optimizes the scanning method for the type of traffic. | |
session_limit_mode string |
| Method of counting concurrent sessions used by session limit anomalies. Choose between greater accuracy (accurate) or improved performance (heuristics). | |
skype_client_public_ipaddr string | Public IP addresses of your network that receive Skype sessions. Helps identify Skype sessions. Separate IP addresses with commas. | ||
socket_size integer | IPS socket buffer size (0 - 256 MB). Default depends on available memory. Can be changed to tune performance. | ||
sync_session_ttl string |
| Enable/disable use of kernel session TTL for IPS sessions. | |
traffic_submit string |
| Enable/disable submitting attack data found by this FortiGate to FortiGuard. | |
password string | Default: "" | FortiOS or FortiGate password. | |
ssl_verify boolean added in 2.9 |
| Ensures FortiGate certificate must be verified by a proper CA. | |
username string | FortiOS or FortiGate username. | ||
vdom string | Default: "root" | Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit. |
