DEPRECATED ¶

Removed in Ansible: version: 2.13
Why: Updated modules released with more functionality
Alternative: Use junos_l2_interfaces instead.

Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of Layer-2 interface 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
access_vlan -			Configure given VLAN in access port. The value of `access_vlan` should be vlan name.
active boolean		Choices: no yes ←	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate -			List of Layer-2 interface definitions.
description -			Description of Interface.
enhanced_layer boolean added in 2.7		Choices: no yes ←	True if your device has Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS).
filter_input - added in 2.8			The name of input filter of ethernet-switching.
filter_output - added in 2.8			The name of output filter of ethernet-switching.
mode -		Choices: access trunk	Mode in which interface needs to be configured.
name -			Name of the interface excluding any logical unit number.
native_vlan -			Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. The value of `native_vlan` should be vlan id.
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	State of the Layer-2 Interface configuration.
trunk_vlans -			List of VLAN names to be configured in trunk port. The value of `trunk_vlans` should be list of vlan names.
unit -		Default: 0	Logical interface number. Value of `unit` should be of type integer.

Notes ¶

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against 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
For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide

Return Values ¶

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
diff string	when configuration is changed and diff option is enabled.	Configuration difference before and after applying change.
