Creating bulk address & address groups on FortiGate Firewall

The below script will make it easier to create bulk address objects on a Fortinet FortiGate device.

Supported input: 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.2, 172.16.1.1/32, etc., separated by comma or anything.

You can’t define the subnet mask in dot-decimal notation, i.e., 255.255.255.0, 255.255.255.255, etc.

You must need to define the Group Name and IP Addresses separately with space or anything.

We will automatically create separate address groups with 300 IP addresses in each group.

Thanks for creating this script, its such a time saver! Appreciate your work, have bought you and your team couple of coffee to support

Also wanted to check if this script can be modified to create group based on FQDN? I have about 100 FQDN based objects that i need to create in fortigate, can this script be modified for that?

Please let me know

Thanks
Mani

  Hello Mani,
  
  Thank you for buying Coffee for us, and sorry for the delayed response. We will prepare and upload the script to create FQDN/WILDCARD on the Fortinet FortiGate firewall.
  
  Thank you 🙂

  This is very good for engineers, and it’s a time-saving script.
  
  Can we have a script for URL creation as IP?
  
  Thanks

Hi there, Is it possible to use a script to generate VIPs, we have some sites which can have 150 devices requiring forwarding rules setup and is very time consuming to do manually
