junos_lag_interfaces – Manage Link Aggregation on Juniper JUNOS devices

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module manages properties of Link Aggregation Group 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				A list of link aggregation group configurations.
	link_protection boolean		Choices: no yes	This boolean option indicates if link protection should be enabled for the LAG interface. If value is True link protection is enabled on LAG and if value is False link protection is disabled.
	members list			List of member interfaces of the link aggregation group. The value can be single interface or list of interfaces.
		link_type -	Choices: primary backup	The value of this options configures the member link as either primary or backup. Value primary configures primary interface for link-protection mode and backup configures backup interface for link-protection mode.
		member string		Name of the member interface.
	mode -		Choices: active passive	LAG mode. A value of passive will enable LACP in passive mode that is it will respond to LACP packets and active configures the link to initiate transmission of LACP packets.
	name string / required			Name of the link aggregation group (LAG).
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 remote device being managed.

• Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 18.4R1.

• This module works with connection netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
