Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) Ansible Collection

An Ansible Collection that automates configuration management and execution of operational tasks on Cisco Secure Firewall Management Centre (FMC) devices using FMC REST API.

This module has been tested against the following ansible versions: 2.9.17, 2.10.5 This module has been tested against the following cisco Secure Firewall Management Center versions: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3

Included Content

The collection contains one Ansible module:

• fmc_configuration.py - manages device configuration via REST API. The module configures virtual and physical devices by sending HTTPS calls formatted according to the REST API specification.

Installing this collection

You can install the Cisco DCNM collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.fmcansible

Usage Instruction

Create the inventory file. Ansible inventory contains information about systems where the playbooks should be run. You should create an inventory file with information about the FMC that will be used for configuration.

The default location for inventory is /etc/ansible/hosts, but you can specify a different path by adding the -i <path> argument to the ansible-playbook command.

The inventory file requires:

•   Hostname or IP Address of the FMC
  

•   Username for FMC
  

•   Password for the given user
  

[all:vars]
ansible_network_os=cisco.fmcansible.fmc

[vfmc]
<FMC IP> ansible_user=<username> ansible_password=<password> ansible_httpapi_port=443 ansible_httpapi_use_ssl=True ansible_httpapi_validate_certs=True

Then create a playbook referencing the module and the desired operation. This example network.yml demonstrates how to create a simple network object. The task creates a new object representing the subnet.

After creation, the network object is stored as an Ansible fact and can be accessed
using Network_net15 variable.

- hosts: all
  connection: httpapi
  tasks:
    - name: Get Domain UUID
      cisco.fmcansible.fmc_configuration:
        operation: getAllDomain
        register_as: domain

    - name: Create a network object for Cisco FTD 1
      cisco.fmcansible.fmc_configuration:
        operation: createMultipleNetworkObject
        data:
          name: net15
          value: 10.10.30.0/24
          type: Network
        path_params:
          domainUUID: '{{ domain[0].uuid }}'

Then run the playbook

ansible-playbook -i hosts network.yml
