## Synopsis

- Allows for the management of IPv4, IPv6, and multicast address objects within FortiManager.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
adom - | Default: "root" | The ADOM the configuration should belong to.

allow_routing
-

Choices:
- enable
- disable ←

Enable/disable use of this address in the static route configuration.

associated_interface - |  | Associated interface name.
cache_ttl - |  | Minimal TTL of individual IP addresses in FQDN cache. Only applies when type = wildcard-fqdn.
color - | Default: 22 | Color of the object in FortiManager GUI. Takes integers 1-32
comment - |  | Comment for the object in FortiManager.
country - |  | Country name. Required if type = geographic.
end_ip - |  | End IP. Only used when ipv4 = iprange.
fqdn - |  | Fully qualified domain name.
group_members - |  | Address group member. If this is defined w/out group_name, the operation will fail.
group_name - |  | Address group name. If this is defined in playbook task, all other options are ignored.

ipv4
-

Choices:
- ipmask
- iprange
- fqdn
- wildcard
- geography
- wildcard-fqdn
- group

Type of IPv4 Object.
Must not be specified with either multicast or IPv6 parameters.

ipv4addr - |  | IP and network mask. If only defining one IP use this parameter. (i.e. 10.7.220.30/255.255.255.255) Can also define subnets (i.e. 10.7.220.0/255.255.255.0) Also accepts CIDR (i.e. 10.7.220.0/24) If Netmask is omitted after IP address, /32 is assumed. When multicast is set to Broadcast Subnet the ipv4addr parameter is used to specify the subnet.

ipv6
-

Choices:
- ip
- iprange
- group

Puts module into IPv6 mode.
Must not be specified with either ipv4 or multicast parameters.

ipv6addr - |  | IPv6 address in full. (i.e. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)

mode
-

Choices:
- add ←
- set
- delete

Sets one of three modes for managing the object.

multicast
-

Choices:
- multicastrange
- broadcastmask
- ip6

Manages Multicast Address Objects.
Sets either a Multicast IP Range or a Broadcast Subnet.
Must not be specified with either ipv4 or ipv6 parameters.
When set to Broadcast Subnet the ipv4addr parameter is used to specify the subnet.
Can create IPv4 Multicast Objects (multicastrange and broadcastmask options -- uses start/end-ip and ipv4addr).

name - |  | Friendly Name Address object name in FortiManager.
obj_id - |  | Object ID for NSX.
start_ip - |  | Start IP. Only used when ipv4 = iprange.

visibility
-

Choices:
- enable ←
- disable

Enable/disable address visibility.

wildcard - |  | IP address and wildcard netmask. Required if ipv4 = wildcard.
wildcard_fqdn - |  | Wildcard FQDN. Required if ipv4 = wildcard-fqdn.
