IBM Cloud fortigate driver for non-global commands

[SaneiSaya]

Adding a driver that will work with IBM Cloud 1500D as users are restricted and not able to run global commands. This driver allows non-global commands to be run

[SaneiSaya]

@ktbyers Can you check this again after the changes I made?

[ktbyers]

@SaneiSaya So you are trying to get the fortinet driver to work, but without needing any global commands--correct?

[SaneiSaya]

Yes, we don't have access to run any global commands as we only have VDOM access.

@SaneiSaya Sorry for very delayed response--is this still an issue that you are looking to fix/work on?

[SaneiSaya]

Yes, I would still like to get this in.

I am confused as to why you made this change? Why did you make any changes to the non-IBM driver?

[ktbyers]

I didn't understand this? I thought your purpose was to get rid of config global, but it still does config global (depending on VDoms)?

[ktbyers]

How do you want this to behave?

So we can't execute config global and we are using config global to determine and configure the following:

1. Config Output Mode to "standard" in disable_paging() when VDOMs are in use.
2. Determine current output mode "more" or "standard" when VDOMs are in use for V6 or earlier (_get_output_mode_v6)
3. Determine current output mode "more" or "standard" when VDOMs are in use for V7 or later (_get_output_mode_v7)
4. Restore the original output mode in cleanup(), if it was changed in step1 (and VDOMs are used).

So one working option is for the end-user to set an environment variable named NETMIKO_FORTINET_STANDARD=True and then if this is set we bypass all four of the above items.

In other words, the end-user configure the device so there is no output paging and then set the above environment variable. Once this, happens we can bypass all of the above.

I don't see how your current PR fixes the original issue you were running into?
