junos_config - Manage Juniper JUNOS configuration sections

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

This module provides an implementation for configuring Juniper JUNOS devices. The configuration statements must start with either set or delete and are compared against the current device configuration and only changes are pushed to the device.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
after
 no
    The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a changed needs to be made. Just like with before this allows the playbook designer to append a set of commands to be executed after the command set.
    before
    		 no
      The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands are matched against the system
      config
      		 no
        The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The config argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuruation to use as the base config for comparision.
        force
        		 no
        • true
        • false
        The force argument instructs the module to not consider the current device config. When set to true, this will cause the module to push the contents of src into the device without first checking if already configured.
        host
        		 yes
          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.
          lines
          		 yes
            The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands must be the exact same commands as found in the device config. Be sure to note the configuration command syntanx as some commands are automatically modified by the device config parser.
            password
            		 no
              Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of password 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
              		 no 22
                Specifies the port to use when buiding the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22
                provider
                		 no
                  Convience method that allows all ios arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict.
                  ssh_keyfile
                  		 no
                    Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of ssh_keyfile 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.
                    username
                    		 no
                      Configures the usename to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of username 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.

                      Examples

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

                      name description returned type sample
                      updates The set of commands that will be pushed to the remote device always list ['...', '...']
                      responses The set of responses from issuing the commands on the device always list ['...', '...']
