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

Note

This module is part of the junipernetworks.junos collection (version 5.3.1).

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.

Aliases: interfaces

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 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_junos.html
The module examples uses callback plugin (stdout_callback = yaml) to generate task output in yaml format.

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Returned: when changed Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
before list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Returned: always Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
gathered list / elements=string	Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data. Returned: when state is `gathered` Sample: `["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]`
parsed list / elements=string	The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec. Returned: when state is `parsed` Sample: `["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]`
rendered list / elements=string	The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline). Returned: when state is `rendered` Sample: `["<nc:protocols xmlns:nc=\"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0\">"]`
xml list / elements=string	The set of xml rpc payload pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: ["<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> <rpc-reply message-id=\"urn:uuid:0cadb4e8-5bba-47f4-986e-72906227007f\"> <configuration changed-seconds=\"1590139550\" changed-localtime=\"2020-05-22 09:25:50 UTC\"> <interfaces> <interface> <name>ge-0/0/1</name> <description>Configured by Ansible</description> <disable/> <speed>100m</speed> <mtu>1024</mtu> <hold-time> <up>2000</up> <down>2200</down> </hold-time> <link-mode>full-duplex</link-mode> <unit> <name>0</name> <family> <ethernet-switching> <interface-mode>access</interface-mode> <vlan> <members>vlan100</members> </vlan> </ethernet-switching> </family> </unit> </interface> </interfaces> </configuration> </rpc-reply>", "xml 2", "xml 3"]
