junipernetworks.junos.junos_interfaces – Junos Interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the junipernetworks.junos collection (version 1.3.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install junipernetworks.junos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: junipernetworks.junos.junos_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of junipernetworks.junos

Synopsis

  • This module manages the interfaces on Juniper Junos OS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

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
The provided configuration
description
string
Interface description.
duplex
string
    Choices:
  • automatic
  • full-duplex
  • half-duplex
Interface link status. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only, either in half duplex, full duplex or in automatic state which negotiates the duplex automatically.
enabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Administrative state of the interface.
Set the value to true to administratively enabled the interface or false to disable it.
hold_time
dictionary
The hold time for given interface name.
down
integer
The link down hold time in milliseconds.
up
integer
The link up hold time in milliseconds.
mtu
integer
MTU for a specific interface.
Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
name
string / required
Full name of interface, e.g. ge-0/0/0.
speed
string
Interface link speed. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the Junos device by executing the command show interfaces.
The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state
string
    Choices:
  • merged ←
  • replaced
  • overridden
  • deleted
  • gathered
  • parsed
  • rendered
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.

always
The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation.

Sample:
The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
xml
