I don't know what a Fortigate is, but I guess some kind of network equipment.
Ansible ping is not a ICMP ping, it's a module that copies a Python script to
the remote host and run the Python script on that host.
Most network equipment doesn't have a proper shell(which "default" Ansible
need) and Python installed.
So to use Ansible you need to use the raw and/or expect module so interact with
the device.
You also have Ansible for Network that might work
