## NAME: palo-fw-shutdown.yaml
# Shuts down a PAN-OS device.
#
# DESRIPTION:
# This issues the shutdown command using the 'panos_op' module.  This uses the Ansible 'ignore_errors' keyword because
# issuing the shutdown command terminates the API connection.
#
# This playbook requires connection details for the device to be specified in the variables 'ip_address', 'username',
# and 'password'.  These may be defined as host variables for an example or extra vars.
#
## MODULES:
# panos_op - https://paloaltonetworks.github.io/pan-os-ansible/modules/panos_op.html
#
## COMMAND TO RUN PLAYBOOK:
# ansible-playbook palo-fw-shutdown.yaml
