Note

This module is part of the junipernetworks.junos collection (version 3.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install junipernetworks.junos. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: junipernetworks.junos.junos_l3_interface.

New in junipernetworks.junos 1.0.0

DEPRECATED 

Removed in:: major release after 2022-06-01
Why:: Updated modules released with more functionality
Alternative:: Use junipernetworks.junos.junos_l3_interfaces instead.

Synopsis 

This module provides declarative management of L3 interfaces on Juniper JUNOS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements 

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

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
aggregate list / elements=dictionary	List of L3 interfaces definitions
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: `false` `true`
filter6_input string	The name of input filter for ipv6.
filter6_output string	The name of output filter for ipv6.
filter_input string	The name of input filter.
filter_output string	The name of output filter.
ipv4 string	IPv4 of the L3 interface.
ipv6 string	IPv6 of the L3 interface.
name string / required	Name of the L3 interface.
state string	State of the L3 interface configuration. Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
unit integer	Logical interface number. Default: `0`
filter6_input string	The name of input filter for ipv6.
filter6_output string	The name of output filter for ipv6.
filter_input string	The name of input filter.
filter_output string	The name of output filter.
ipv4 string	IPv4 of the L3 interface.
ipv6 string	IPv6 of the L3 interface.
name string	Name of the L3 interface.
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	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	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	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.
transport string	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: `"cli"` `"netconf"` ← (default)
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 string	State of the L3 interface configuration. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
unit integer	Logical interface number. Default: `0`

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 :ref:`Junos OS Platform Options guide <junos_platform_options>`
For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`
