## 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 | Choices: no yes ← | Indicates if the requests towards FortiGate must use HTTPS protocol.
password string | Default: "" | FortiOS or FortiGate password.
ssl_verify boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Ensures FortiGate certificate must be verified by a proper CA.
state string / required | Choices: present absent | Indicates whether to create or remove the object.
system_gre_tunnel dictionary | Default: null | Configure GRE tunnel.
| checksum_reception string | Choices: disable enable | Enable/disable validating checksums in received GRE packets.
| checksum_transmission string | Choices: disable enable | Enable/disable including checksums in transmitted GRE packets.
| dscp_copying string | Choices: disable enable | Enable/disable DSCP copying.
| interface string |  | Interface name. Source system.interface.name.
| ip_version string | Choices: 4 6 | IP version to use for VPN interface.
| keepalive_failtimes integer |  | Number of consecutive unreturned keepalive messages before a GRE connection is considered down (1 - 255).
| keepalive_interval integer |  | Keepalive message interval (0 - 32767, 0 = disabled).
| key_inbound integer |  | Require received GRE packets contain this key (0 - 4294967295).
| key_outbound integer |  | Include this key in transmitted GRE packets (0 - 4294967295).
| local_gw string |  | IP address of the local gateway.
| local_gw6 string |  | IPv6 address of the local gateway.
