DEPRECATED ¶

Removed in Ansible: version: 2.13
Why: Updated modules released with more functionality
Alternative: Use junos_interfaces instead.

Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of Interfaces 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 Interfaces definitions.
delay -		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 -			Description of Interface.
duplex -		Choices: full half auto ←	Interface link status.
enabled boolean		Choices: no yes	Configure interface link status.
mtu -			Maximum size of transmit packet.
name - / required			Name of the Interface.
neighbors -			Check the operational state of given interface `name` for LLDP neighbor. The following suboptions are available.
	host -		LLDP neighbor host for given interface `name`.
	port -		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 / 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.
rx_rate -			Receiver rate in bits per second (bps). This is state check parameter only. Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
speed -			Interface link speed.
state -		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 -			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
