DEPRECATED ¶

Removed in: major release after 2022-06-01
Why: Updated modules released with more functionality
Alternative: Use junipernetworks.junos.junos_interfaces instead.

Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Juniper JUNOS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
active boolean			Choices: no yes ←	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate list / elements=dictionary				List of Interfaces definitions.
	active boolean		Choices: no yes	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
	delay integer			Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values `up`/`down`, tx_rate and rx_rate.
	description string			Description of Interface.
	duplex string		Choices: full half auto	Interface link status.
	enabled boolean		Choices: no yes	Configure interface link status.
	mtu integer			Maximum size of transmit packet.
	name string / required			Name of the Interface.
	neighbors list / elements=dictionary			Check the operational state of given interface `name` for LLDP neighbor. The following suboptions are available.
		host string		LLDP neighbor host for given interface `name`.
		port string		LLDP neighbor port to which given interface `name` is connected.
	rx_rate string			Receiver rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
	speed string			Interface link speed.
	state string		Choices: present absent up down	State of the Interface configuration, `up` indicates present and operationally up and `down` indicates present and operationally `down`
	tx_rate string			Transmit rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
delay integer			Default: 10	Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values `up`/`down`, tx_rate and rx_rate.
description string				Description of Interface.
duplex string			Choices: full half auto	Interface link status.
enabled boolean			Choices: no yes ←	Configure interface link status.
mtu integer				Maximum size of transmit packet.
name string				Name of the Interface.
neighbors list / elements=dictionary				Check the operational state of given interface `name` for LLDP neighbor. The following suboptions are available.
	host string			LLDP neighbor host for given interface `name`.
	port string			LLDP neighbor port to which given interface `name` is connected.
provider dictionary				Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` or `connection: netconf`. For more information please see the Junos OS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	host string			Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	password string			Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port integer			Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for `transport=cli`) or port 830 (for `transport=netconf`) device.
	ssh_keyfile path			Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout integer			Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	transport string		Choices: cli netconf ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	username string			Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
rx_rate string				Receiver rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
speed string				Interface link speed.
state string			Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the Interface configuration, `up` indicates present and operationally up and `down` indicates present and operationally `down`
tx_rate string				Transmit rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules

Notes ¶

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
Recommended connection is netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
