salt.states.panos¶

About¶

This state module was designed to handle connections to a Palo Alto based firewall. This module relies on the Palo Alto proxy module to interface with the devices.

This state module is designed to give extreme flexibility in the control over XPATH values on the PANOS device. It exposes the core XML API commands and allows state modules to chain complex XPATH commands.

Below is an example of how to construct a security rule and move to the top of the policy. This will take a config lock to prevent execution during the operation, then remove the lock. After the XPATH has been deployed, it will commit to the device.

Version Specific Configurations¶

Palo Alto devices running different versions will have different supported features and different command structures. In order to account for this, the proxy module can be leveraged to check if the panos device is at a specific revision level.

The proxy['panos.is_required_version'] method will check if a panos device is currently running a version equal or greater than the passed version. For example, proxy['panos.is_required_version']('7.0.0') would match both 7.1.0 and 8.0.0.

{% if proxy['panos.is_required_version']('8.0.0') %}
panos/deviceconfig/system/motd-and-banner:
  panos.set_config:
    - xpath: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/deviceconfig/system/motd-and-banner
    - value: |
      <banner-header>BANNER TEXT</banner-header>
      <banner-header-color>color2</banner-header-color>

salt.states.panos.add_config_lock(name)¶

Prevent other users from changing configuration until the lock is released.

name: The name of the module function to execute.

SLS Example:

panos/takelock:
    panos.add_config_lock

salt.states.panos.address_exists(name, addressname=None, vsys=1, ipnetmask=None, iprange=None, fqdn=None, description=None, commit=False)¶

Ensures that an address object exists in the configured state. If it does not exist or is not configured with the specified attributes, it will be adjusted to match the specified values.

This module will only process a single address type (ip-netmask, ip-range, or fqdn). It will process the specified value if the following order: ip-netmask, ip-range, fqdn. For proper execution, only specify a single address type.

name: The name of the module function to execute.

addressname(str): The name of the address object. The name is case-sensitive and can have up to 31 characters, which an be letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. The name must be unique on a firewall and, on Panorama, unique within its device group and any ancestor or descendant device groups.

vsys(str): The string representation of the VSYS ID. Defaults to VSYS 1.

ipnetmask(str): The IPv4 or IPv6 address or IP address range using the format ip_address/mask or ip_address where the mask is the number of significant binary digits used for the network portion of the address. Ideally, for IPv6, you specify only the network portion, not the host portion.

iprange(str): A range of addresses using the format ip_address–ip_address where both addresses can be IPv4 or both can be IPv6.

fqdn(str): A fully qualified domain name format. The FQDN initially resolves at commit time. Entries are subsequently refreshed when the firewall performs a check every 30 minutes; all changes in the IP address for the entries are picked up at the refresh cycle.

description(str): A description for the policy (up to 255 characters).

commit(bool): If true the firewall will commit the changes, if false do not commit changes.

SLS Example:

name: The name of the module function to execute.

groupname(str): The name of the address group object. The name is case-sensitive and can have up to 31 characters, which an be letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. The name must be unique on a firewall and, on Panorama, unique within its device group and any ancestor or descendant device groups.

vsys(str): The string representation of the VSYS ID. Defaults to VSYS 1.

members(str, list): The members of the address group. These must be valid address objects or address groups on the system that already exist prior to the execution of this state.

description(str): A description for the policy (up to 255 characters).

commit(bool): If true the firewall will commit the changes, if false do not commit changes.

xpath(str): The XPATH of the configuration API tree to move.

where(str): The type of move to execute. Valid options are after, before, top, bottom. The after and before options will require the dst option to specify the destination of the action. The top action will move the XPATH to the top of its structure. The botoom action will move the XPATH to the bottom of its structure.

dst(str): Optional. Specifies the destination to utilize for a move action. This is ignored for the top or bottom action.

commit(bool): If true the firewall will commit the changes, if false do not commit changes. If the operation is not successful, it will not commit.

Ensures that a security rule exists on the device. Also, ensure that all configurations are set appropriately.

This method will create the rule if it does not exist. If the rule does exist, it will ensure that the configurations are set appropriately.

If the rule does not exist and is created, any value that is not provided will be provided as the default. The action, to, from, source, destination, application, and service fields are mandatory and must be provided.

This will enforce the exact match of the rule. For example, if the rule is currently configured with the log-end option, but this option is not specified in the state method, it will be removed and reset to the system default.

It is strongly recommended to specify all options to ensure proper operation.

When defining the profile group settings, the device can only support either a profile group or individual settings. If both are specified, the profile group will be preferred and the individual settings are ignored. If neither are specified, the value will be set to system default of none.

name: The name of the module function to execute.

rulename(str): The name of the security rule. The name is case-sensitive and can have up to 31 characters, which can be letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

source(str, list): The source address(es). The value 'any' will match all addresses.

destination(str, list): The destination address(es). The value 'any' will match all addresses.

application(str, list): The application(s) matched. The value 'any' will match all applications.
