Filter Lookup Improvement for SDN Connectors

Filter Lookup Improvement for SDN Connectors

In 6.0, when configuring dynamic address mappings for filters in AWS, FortiGate can query the filters automatically, while for other clouds the configuration is a manual process. In 6.2, the same capability is expanded to SDN connectors for Azure, GCP, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and AliCloud.

To use the improved filter lookup:
  1. Navigate to Policy & Objects > Addresses.
  2. Create or edit an SDN connector type dynamic IP address.
    Supported SDN connector types include: AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and AliCloud. The example below is for an Azure SDN connector.
  3. In the address Filter field, users can:
    • List all available filters in Omniselect.

      Screenshot displays a list of all filters.

    • Search the available filters in Omniselect.

      Screenshot displays a search of filters.

    • Create custom filters in Omniselect.

      Screenshot displays the creation of custom filters.

    • Set filter logic [and|or] in multiple Omniselects.

      Screenshot displays filter logic option.
