Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of a Layer 3 interface on Juniper JUNOS devices

Requirements ¶

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

ncclient (>=v0.6.4)

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer 3 interface options
	ipv4 list / elements=dictionary			IPv4 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 logical interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv4 address>/<mask>. The mask is number in range 0-32 for example, 192.0.2.1/24, or `dhcp` to query DHCP for an IP address
		address string		IPv4 address to be set for the specific interface
	ipv6 list / elements=dictionary			IPv6 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 logical interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-128 for example, 2001:db8:2201:1::1/64 or `auto-config` to use SLAAC
		address string		IPv6 address to be set for the specific interface
	name string / required			Full name of interface, e.g. ge-0/0/1
	unit integer		Default: 0	Logical interface number. Value of `unit` should be of type integer
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes ¶

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the device being managed.
This module works with connection netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
Tested against JunOS v18.4R1
