Adding members to a redundant interface on Fortigate

Terraform Providers

Terraform Version: 0.15.4
FortiOS Provider Version: 1.11.0

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to member interfaces to a redundant interface on a Fortigate using Terraform.

I am using the “fortios_system_interface” resource and I manage to create the redundant interface itself:

resource "fortios_system_interface" "redundant_internal" {
      name        = "red_int"
      role        = "lan"
      ip          = "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0"
      type        = "redundant"
      vdom        = "root"
      status      = "up"
      description = "Managed with Terraform"
}

When I try to add the “member” attribute, I get an error saying that the resource does not expect that attribute, when it is in fact listed in the documentation. I took a look at the code for the “fortios_system_interface” resource and it seems that “member” is expected to be a list of maps, so I tried to define as a local variable like so:

locals {
   member = [
    {
      interface_name = "port3"
    },
    {
      interface_name = "port4"
    },
  ]
}

Then, I tried adding the “interface” attribute to the resource, with “${local.member}” as its value, but I get an error saying that the “interface” attribute expects a value of type string. So out of frustration I tried defining the “interface” attribute as “port3,port4”, and while this time I got no errors, the Fortigate simply ignored that and no members were added to the redundant interface.

I’m honestly at a loss on how to do this so if someone with experience on this can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Clifton
