junos_interface - Manage Interface on Juniper JUNOS network devices

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of Interfaces on Juniper JUNOS network devices.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Options

parameter required default choices comments
active
 no True
  • True
  • False
Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate
 no
List of Interfaces definitions.
delay
 no 10
Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values up/down, tx_rate and rx_rate.
description
 no
Description of Interface.
duplex
 no auto
  • full
  • half
  • auto
Interface link status.
enabled
 no
Configure interface link status.
mtu
 no
Maximum size of transmit packet.
name
 yes
Name of the Interface.
rx_rate
 no
Receiver rate in bits per second (bps).
speed
 no
Interface link speed.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
  • up
  • down
State of the Interface configuration, up idicates present and operationally up and down indicates present and operationally down
tx_rate
 no
Transmit rate in bits per second (bps).

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
diff.prepared
Configuration difference before and after applying change.
 when configuration is changed and diff option is enabled. string [edit interfaces] + ge-0/0/1 { + description test-interface; + }

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.

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
