junipernetworks.junos.junos_interfaces module – Junos Interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the junipernetworks.junos collection (version 4.1.0).

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_interfaces.

New in junipernetworks.junos 1.0.0

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	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	The provided configuration
description string	Interface description.
duplex string	Interface link status. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only, either in half duplex, full duplex or in automatic state which negotiates the duplex automatically. Choices: `"automatic"` `"full-duplex"` `"half-duplex"`
enabled boolean	Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enabled the interface or `false` to disable it. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
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.
units list / elements=dictionary	Specify Logical interfaces units.
description string	Specify logical interface description.
name integer	Specify interface unit number.
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	The state of the configuration after module completion Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"gathered"` `"parsed"` `"rendered"`

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.
