Fortigate Bulk Adding Address Objects

Overview:

This Python script automates the process of adding multiple address objects to a FortiGate firewall configuration. The script reads a list of CIDR notation IP address blocks from an input file and converts them into FortiGate CLI commands, which are then written to an output file. The output can be directly used to configure a FortiGate firewall.

Features:

Converts CIDR notation to subnet mask Creates CLI commands for adding each IP address block Generates an output file that can be used directly in FortiGate CLI Adds config firewall address and end statements to the output file

Prerequisites:

Python 3.x ipaddress module (built into Python's standard library)

Usage:

1. Clone the repository or download the script.
2. Modify the input_file and output_file variables in the script to specify your input and output file paths.

input_file = "path/to/your/fortigate-cidr-bulk-add-input.txt" output_file = "path/to/your/fortigate-cidr-bulk-output.txt"

3. Ensure your input file contains CIDR notation IP address blocks, one per line.

Example: 192.168.1.0/24 10.0.0.0/16

4. Run the script.

python fortigate-bulk-add-address-script.py

5. The output file will contain the CLI commands needed to add these address objects to a FortiGate firewall.

Example Output

config firewall address edit "192.168.1.0/24" set subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 next edit "10.0.0.0/16" set subnet 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 next end
