fw_shutdown.yml

---
# fw_shutdown.yml - Shuts down a PAN-OS device.
#
# Description
# ===========
#
# 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 (see `host_vars/firewall.yml` for an example) or
# extra vars.
#
# Modules Used
# ============
#
# panos_op - https://paloaltonetworks.github.io/pan-os-ansible/modules/panos_op.html
#
# Usage
# =====
