Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of link aggregation groups on Juniper JUNOS network devices.

Requirements ¶

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

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
active bool		Choices: no yes ←	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate			List of link aggregation definitions.
description			Description of Interface.
device_count			Number of aggregated ethernet devices that can be configured. Acceptable integer value is between 1 and 128.
members required			List of members interfaces of the link aggregation group. The value can be single interface or list of interfaces.
min_links			Minimum members that should be up before bringing up the link aggregation group.
mode		Choices: on off active passive Default: "no"	Mode of the link aggregation group. A value of `on` will enable LACP in `passive` mode. `active` configures the link to actively information about the state of the link, or it can be configured in `passive` mode ie. send link state information only when received them from another link. A value of `off` will disable LACP.
name required			Name of the link aggregation group.
provider			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.
	username		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.
	host required		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.
	ssh_keyfile		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	Default: 10	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.
	password		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	Default: 22	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.
state		Choices: present ← absent up down	State of the link aggregation group.

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 Junos OS Platform Options guide
