ABOUT

Juniper Networks provides support for using Ansible to deploy devices running the Junos operating system (Junos OS). The Juniper Networks Ansible library, which is hosted on the Ansible Galaxy website under the role junos, enables you to use Ansible to perform specific operational and configuration tasks on devices running Junos OS, including installing and upgrading Junos OS, deploying specific devices in the network, loading configuration changes, retrieving information, and resetting, rebooting, or shutting down managed devices. Please refer to INSTALLATION section for setup.

OVERVIEW OF MODULES

• junos_commit — Commit candidate configuration on device.
• junos_get_config — Retrieve configuration of device.
• junos_get_facts — Retrieve device-specific information from the host.
• junos_install_config — Modify the configuration of a device running Junos OS.
• junos_install_os — Install a Junos OS software package.
• junos_rollback — Rollback configuration of device.
• junos_shutdown — Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.
• junos_srx_cluster — Enable/Disable cluster mode for SRX devices
• junos_zeroize — Remove all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all key values on a device.

Git clone

For testing you can git clone this repo and run the env-setup script in the repo directory:

user@ansible-junos-stdlib> source env-setup

This will set your $ANSIBLE_LIBRARY variable to the repo location and the installed Ansible library path. For example:

[jeremy@ansible-junos-stdlib]$ echo $ANSIBLE_LIBRARY
/home/jeremy/Ansible/ansible-junos-stdlib/library:/usr/share/ansible

Example Playbook

This example outlines how to use Ansible to install or upgrade the software image on a device running Junos OS.
