fortios_system_interface - interface type emac-vlan is not supported about ansible-galaxy-fortios-collection

[chillancezen]

update: now we have official support for this issue. please choose the collection version which is near to your FortiOS appliance to install. emac-vlan is supported in 6.2.3, so please install galaxy 1.0.11.

thanks @nicosalvadore for the issue,

I assume that your fgt device is of higher version than 6.0.

as I checked the schema of 6.2.3, I found the emac-vlan is there.

  5272                 "name":"switch-vlan",
  5273                 "help":"Switch VLAN interface."
  5274               },
  5275               {
  5276                 "name":"emac-vlan",
  5277                 "help":"EMAC VLAN interface."
  5278               }

we will be supporting this shortly.

thanks,

Hey, how soon is soon? Isn't that only a change on the parameters in fortios_system_interface.py like this?

"type": {"required": False, "type": "str",
                         "choices": ["physical", "vlan", "aggregate",
                                     "redundant", "tunnel", "vdom-link",
                                     "loopback", "switch", "hard-switch",
                                     "vap-switch", "wl-mesh", "fext-wan",
                                     "vxlan", "hdlc", "switch-vlan", "emac-vlan"]},

@diLLec sorry for keeping you waiting for long. but we have to do further test and verification before releasing it to Ansible Galaxy, besides emac-vlan in fortios_system_interface , there are lots of new modules in FOS 2.0 and FOS 4.0, and the parameters of some modules may change as well. we finally thought of versioning to resolve compatibility issues.

as for this issue, we've already had the collection bundle for you to preview, but not released to Galaxy officially.
please download the collection binary from our prelease repo and install it locally:

$wget https://github.com/fortinet-ansible-dev/ansible-galaxy-fortios-collection/releases/download/version_check/fortinet-fortios-1.0.11.tar.gz
$ansible-galaxy collection install -f fortinet-fortios-1.0.11.tar.gz

the online document is also available: https://ansible-galaxy-fortios-docs.readthedocs.io/en/galaxy-1.0.11/gen/fortios_system_interface.html

sorry again for keep you waiting long, any feedbacks are welcome.

thanks,

Thanks @chillancezen - that worked perfectly!
