Fortinet about netbox-ssot

[bl4ko]

Yes, the next three external sources that we have locally deployed and are planned are:

• netconf (coreswitch IOS-XE)
• fortinet
• cisco FMC

Hello, source fortigate has been added in the latest release.

would be really good If i could configure fortinet integration to create virtual forty firewall appliances instead of devices. This pattern is getting more and more popular especially with cloud-hybrid environments.

Hello thanks for the suggestion. Could you provide some examples of what do you mean with virtual firewall appliances?

Ideally microservice should be compatible with FortiManager, as large installation rather use for conf management:

Under Virtual Appliance I thought of ability to deploy Fortinet FW as virtual machine:

Oh I see, thanks for clarification. The only problem is that I have only single fortigate device deployed locally, so that's why I used fortigate rest api to fetch and sync its data.

To sync objects with FortiManager, I would need some kind of mock API, or hardcoded responses for each endpoint, so I would know how to implement code. Could you maybe provide some mock api values?

I will try :)
