Hi @shokrymohamedshokry ,

Thank you for your question, if you would like to get NIC information, you can try to use fortios_monitor_fact module and use system_available-interfaces as selector to get, Let me know if you still have questions.

- hosts: fortigates
  connection: httpapi
  collections:
    - fortinet.fortios
  vars:
   vdom: "root"
   ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
   ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no
   ansible_httpapi_port: 443
  tasks:

  - name: fact gathering
    fortios_monitor_fact:
       vdom: "root"
       access_token: "{{token}}"
       selector: 'system_available-interfaces'
    register: info

  - name: display vars
    debug: msg="{{info}}"

Thanks, Maxx
