paloaltonetworks.panos.panos_security_rule module – Manage security rule policy on PAN-OS devices or Panorama management console.

Note

This module is part of the paloaltonetworks.panos collection (version 2.13.2).

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install paloaltonetworks.panos. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: paloaltonetworks.panos.panos_security_rule.

New in paloaltonetworks.panos 1.0.0

Synopsis

• • Security policies allow you to enforce rules and take action, and can be as general or specific as needed.

  • The policy rules are compared against the incoming traffic in sequence, and because the first rule that matches the traffic is applied, the more specific rules must precede the more general ones.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• pandevice can be obtained from PyPI https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pandevice

Notes

Note

• Panorama is supported.

• PAN-OS connectivity should be specified using provider or the classic PAN-OS connectivity params (ip_address, username, password, api_key, and port). If both are present, then the classic params are ignored.
