Dependencies

The firewall configuration is generated by Capirca.

To install Capirca, execute: pip install capirca.

To be able to load configuration on network devices, it requires NAPALM library to be installed: pip install napalm. Please check Installation for complete details.

salt.modules.napalm_netacl.get_filter_pillar(filter_name, pillar_key='acl', pillarenv=None, saltenv=None)

Helper that can be used inside a state SLS, in order to get the filter configuration given its name.

filter_name

The name of the filter.

pillar_key

The root key of the whole policy config.

pillarenv

Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar environment.

saltenv

Included only for compatibility with pillarenv_from_saltenv, and is otherwise ignored.

salt.modules.napalm_netacl.get_term_pillar(filter_name, term_name, pillar_key='acl', pillarenv=None, saltenv=None)

Helper that can be used inside a state SLS, in order to get the term configuration given its name, under a certain filter uniquely identified by its name.

filter_name

The name of the filter.

term_name

The name of the term.

pillar_key: acl

The root key of the whole policy config. Default: acl.

pillarenv

Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar environment.

saltenv

Included only for compatibility with pillarenv_from_saltenv, and is otherwise ignored.

salt.modules.napalm_netacl.load_filter_config(filter_name, filter_options=None, terms=None, prepend=True, pillar_key='acl', pillarenv=None, saltenv=None, merge_pillar=True, only_lower_merge=False, revision_id=None, revision_no=None, revision_date=True, revision_date_format='%Y/%m/%d', test=False, commit=True, debug=False, **kwargs)

Generate and load the configuration of a policy filter.

Note

The order of the terms is very important. The configuration loaded on the device respects the order defined in the terms and/or inside the pillar.

When merging the terms with the pillar data, consider the prepend argument to make sure the order is correct!

filter_name

The name of the policy filter.

filter_options

Additional filter options. These options are platform-specific. See the complete list of options.

terms

List of terms for this policy filter. If not specified or empty, will try to load the configuration from the pillar, unless merge_pillar is set as False.

prepend: True

When merge_pillar is set as True, the final list of terms generated by merging the terms from terms with those defined in the pillar (if any): new terms are prepended at the beginning, while existing ones will preserve the position. To add the new terms at the end of the list, set this argument to False.

pillar_key: acl

The key in the pillar containing the default attributes values. Default: acl.

pillarenv

Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar environment.

saltenv

Included only for compatibility with pillarenv_from_saltenv, and is otherwise ignored.

merge_pillar: True

Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

The merge logic depends on the prepend argument and the CLI has higher priority than the pillar.

only_lower_merge: False

Specify if it should merge only the terms fields. Otherwise it will try to merge also filters fields. Default: False. This option requires merge_pillar, otherwise it is ignored.

revision_id

Add a comment in the filter config having the description for the changes applied.

revision_no

The revision count.

revision_date: True

Boolean flag: display the date when the filter configuration was generated. Default: True.

revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d

The date format to be used when generating the perforce data. Default: %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

test: False

Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

commit: True

Commit? Default: True.

debug: False

Debug mode. Will insert a new key under the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

CLI Example:

salt 'edge01.bjm01' netacl.load_filter_config my-filter pillar_key=netacl debug=True

Output Example:

Generate and load the configuration of the whole policy.

Note

The order of the filters and their terms is very important. The configuration loaded on the device respects the order defined in the filters and/or inside the pillar.

When merging the filters with the pillar data, consider the prepend argument to make sure the order is correct!

filters

List of filters for this policy. If not specified or empty, will try to load the configuration from the pillar, unless merge_pillar is set as False.

prepend: True

When merge_pillar is set as True, the final list of filters generated by merging the filters from filters with those defined in the pillar (if any): new filters are prepended at the beginning, while existing ones will preserve the position. To add the new filters at the end of the list, set this argument to False.

pillar_key: acl

The key in the pillar containing the default attributes values. Default: acl.

pillarenv

Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar environment.

saltenv

Included only for compatibility with pillarenv_from_saltenv, and is otherwise ignored.

merge_pillar: True

Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

The merge logic depends on the prepend argument and the CLI has higher priority than the pillar.

only_lower_merge: False

Specify if it should merge only the filters and terms fields. Otherwise it will try to merge everything at the policy level. Default: False. This option requires merge_pillar, otherwise it is ignored.

revision_id

Add a comment in the policy config having the description for the changes applied.

revision_no

The revision count.

revision_date: True

Boolean flag: display the date when the policy configuration was generated. Default: True.

revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d

The date format to be used when generating the perforce data. Default: %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

test: False

Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

commit: True

Commit? Default: True.

debug: False

Debug mode. Will insert a new key under the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

Generate and load the configuration of a policy term.

filter_name

The name of the policy filter.

term_name

The name of the term.

filter_options

Additional filter options. These options are platform-specific. See the complete list of options.

pillar_key: acl

The key in the pillar containing the default attributes values. Default: acl. If the pillar contains the following structure:

firewall:
  - my-filter:
      terms:
        - my-term:
            source_port: 1234
            source_address:
                - 1.2.3.4/32
                - 5.6.7.8/32

The pillar_key field would be specified as firewall.

pillarenv

Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from the requested pillar environment.

saltenv

Included only for compatibility with pillarenv_from_saltenv, and is otherwise ignored.

merge_pillar: True

Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

The properties specified through the CLI have higher priority than the pillar.

revision_id

Add a comment in the term config having the description for the changes applied.

revision_no

The revision count.

revision_date: True

Boolean flag: display the date when the term configuration was generated. Default: True.

revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d

The date format to be used when generating the perforce data. Default: %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

test: False

Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

commit: True

Commit? Default: True.

debug: False

Debug mode. Will insert a new key under the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

source_service

A special service to choose from. This is a helper so the user is able to select a source just using the name, instead of specifying a source_port and protocol.

As this module is available on Unix platforms only, it reads the IANA port assignment from /etc/services.

If the user requires additional shortcuts to be referenced, they can add entries under /etc/services, which can be managed using the file state.

destination_service

A special service to choose from. This is a helper so the user is able to select a source just using the name, instead of specifying a destination_port and protocol. Allows the same options as source_service.

term_fields

Term attributes. To see what fields are supported, please consult the list of supported keywords. Some platforms have a few other optional keywords.

Note

The following fields are accepted (some being platform-specific):

  • action

  • address

  • address_exclude

  • comment

  • counter

  • expiration

  • destination_address

  • destination_address_exclude

  • destination_port

  • source_tag

  • destination_tag

  • source_interface

  • destination_interface

  • flattened

  • priority

Note

The following fields can be also a single value and a list of values:

  • action

  • address

  • address_exclude

  • comment

  • destination_address

  • destination_address_exclude

  • destination_port

  • destination_prefix

  • forwarding_class

or as a list of destination IP addresses:

destination_address:
    - 172.17.17.1/24
    - 172.17.19.1/24

or a list of services to be matched:

source_service:
    - ntp
    - snmp
    - ldap
    - bgpd

Note

The port fields source_port and destination_port can be used as above to select either a single value, either a list of values, but also they can select port ranges. Example:

source_port:
    - - 1000
      - 2000
    - - 3000
      - 4000

With the configuration above, the user is able to select the 1000-2000 and 3000-4000 source port ranges.

The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

CLI Example:

salt 'edge01.bjm01' netacl.load_term_config filter-name term-name source_address=1.2.3.4 destination_address=5.6.7.8 action=accept test=True debug=True
