"set" instructions not working when using Ansible PANOS_OP to update Panorama Addresses group

L1 Bithead

Hi All,

 

This is another issue I am encounting with PANOS Ansible's module. This time when using "PANOS_OP" into Panorama to add a static address into a group. This is the error I am getting when executing "cmd: set device-group MYCLOUD address-group MYCLOUD-GRP-1 static SMTP-10.10.20.30" in playbook:

 

fatal: [10.10.10.10]: FAILED! => {
"changed": false,
"invocation": {
"module_args": {
"api_key": null,
"cmd": "set device-group MYCLOUD address-group MYCLOUD-GRP-1 static SMTP-10.10.20.30",
"cmd_is_xml": false,
"ip_address": "10.10.10.10",
"password": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",
"username": "pan_ansible"
}
}
}

MSG:

Failed to run command : set device-group MYCLOUD address-group MYCLOUD-GRP-1 static "CLOUD-10.10.20.30" : set -> device-group is unexpected

 

Let me know what is the solution to add more IP addresses to an Address group.

Thanks,

Roberto

 

My playbook is pretty simple; however, I am unable to find the error.

Thanks,

Roberto

Please make sure you are using the Ansible modules for PAN-OS that are published to Ansible Galaxy.

 

https://galaxy.ansible.com/paloaltonetworks/paloaltonetworks

 

The modules bundles with Ansible Engine are old and are being deprecated.  The modules in Ansible Galaxy have all the latest features and bug fixes.

Hi Bob,

I did install and reinstall PANOS galaxy many times before; however the error still happening. Here is my playbook:

 

---
- name: Adding IP address to an address group
connection: local
hosts: sfopanorama
gather_facts: yes
vars:
description: 'Task_Number_1234567'
firewall_host: '10.10.10.10'
server_address: '10.10.1.3'
address_group: 'MYTTP-GW-2'
dev_group: 'MLG'
address_mask: 'ip-netmask'

 

roles:
- role: PaloAltoNetworks.paloaltonetworks

 

tasks:
- name: Add IP Address to Address Group {{ dev_group }}
panos_op:
ip_address: '{{ firewall_host }}'
username: '{{ pan_username }}'
password: '{{ pan_password }}'
cmd: 'configure'
cmd: 'set device-group {{ dev_group }} address-group {{ address_group }} static SMTP-{{ server_address }}'
register: result_output2

 

I tried with and without the "configure" option, and changing the way the "set device-group" options; However, none of them works.

This is the only solution that can solve the "Panos_address_group" problem that I mentioned earlier. If only I can make it work.

Thanks,

Roberto
