How to create DHCP server and a policy in the Fortigate

Here is an example script that demonstrates how to use the fortigate-api package to create a DHCP server and a policy in the Fortigate 

from fortigate_api import FortigateAPI

# Create a FortigateAPI object

fgt = FortigateAPI(host="host", username="username", password="password")

# Create a DHCP server

data = {

    "default-gateway": "192.168.255.1",

    "netmask": "255.255.255.0",

    "interface": "vlan.123",

    "ip-range": [

        {"start-ip": "192.168.255.2", "end-ip": "192.168.255.254",}

    ],

}

fgt.dhcp_server.create(data)

# Create a policy in the Fortigate

data = dict(

    name="POLICY",

    status="enable",

    action="accept",

    srcintf=[{"name": "any"}],

    dstintf=[{"name": "any"}],

    srcaddr=[{"name": "all"}],

    dstaddr=[{"name": "all"}],

    service=[{"name": "ALL"}],

)

fgt.policy.create(data)

You can customize this script to create policies and interface configurations as per your requirements. The fortigate-api package provides a wide range of methods to manipulate various objects in the Fortigate

Please note that this is just an example script, and you may need to modify it to suit your specific needs. Also, before making any changes to your Fortigate device, it is important to test the changes in a lab environment and ensure that they do not cause any issues

I hope this helps you get started with automating the creation of policies and interface configurations in your Fortigate firewall! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there’s anything else I can help you with
