Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of static IP routes 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
address required			Network address with prefix of the static route. aliases: prefix
aggregate			List of static route definitions
next_hop required			Next hop IP of the static route.
preference			Global admin preference of the static route. aliases: admin_distance
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.
qualified_next_hop			Qualified next hop IP of the static route. Qualified next hops allow to associate preference with a particular next-hop address.
qualified_preference			Assign preference for qualified next hop.
state		Choices: present ← absent	State of the static route configuration.

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
