junos_linkagg – Manage link aggregation groups on Juniper JUNOS network devices

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of link aggregation groups on Juniper JUNOS network devices.

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 of link aggregation definitions.
description -			Description of Interface.
device_count -			Number of aggregated ethernet devices that can be configured. Acceptable integer value is between 1 and 128.
members - / required			List of members interfaces of the link aggregation group. The value can be single interface or list of interfaces.
min_links -			Minimum members that should be up before bringing up the link aggregation group.
mode -		Choices: on off active passive Default: "no"	Mode of the link aggregation group. A value of on will enable LACP in passive mode. active configures the link to actively information about the state of the link, or it can be configured in passive mode ie. send link state information only when received them from another link. A value of off will disable LACP.
name - / required			Name of the link aggregation group.
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 / required		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	Default: 22	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	Default: 10	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.
	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.
state -		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the link aggregation group.

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
