Works with
local
connections only.Since this module uses junos-eznc to establish connection with junos device the netconf configuration parameters needs to be passed using module options for example
ssh_config
unlike other junos modules that usesnetconf
connection type.For information on using CLI and netconf see the :ref:`Junos OS Platform Options guide <junos_platform_options>`
