forward_next_hop_type gets failed in PBF ansible module..

Bhargav_2784 — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 02:09:56 GMT

hi ,

i'm trying to create PBF using ansible module but it keeps throwing an error when i choose "forward_next_hope_type" as a "ip-address" , and even it doesn't take a value of IPV4 when i have given to "forward_next_hope_value".

ansible-playbook/task:

- name: pbf policy
panos_pbf_rule:
provider: '{{ provider }}'
name: '{{ vendor_name }}_AWS-VPN-PBF-1'
from_value: ['SR1_Zone']
destination_addresses: ["{{ object.results[0].before.name }}","{{ object.results[1].before.name }}"]
action: 'forward'
forward_egress_interface: 'tunnel.1'
forward_next_hop_type: 'ip-address'
forward_monitor_profile: 'Default_AWS-tunnelmonitor'
forward_monitor_ip_address: '4.4.4.4'
forward_next_hop_value: ['{{ tunnel_address_1 }}'] ## this will reference through var defined outside of play

error:

{"changed": false, "msg": "Failed apply: ansible-test_AWS-VPN-PBF-1 -> action -> forward -> nexthop -> ip-address ['4.4.4.4'] is an invalid ipv4/v6 address\n ansible-test_AWS-VPN-PBF-1 -> action -> forward -> nexthop -> ip-address is invalid"}

can someone please help me here ?

thanks..!!

Hi @Bhargav_2784,

For this one, per the docs, the value for "forward_next_hop_value" needs to be a string, not a list of strings. Therefore change

forward_next_hop_value: ['{{ tunnel_address_1 }}']

forward_next_hop_value: '{{ tunnel_address_1 }}'

Hope that helps!
