confirm

Provide time in minutes for commit confirmation. If this option is specified, the commit will be rolled back in the specified amount of time unless the commit is confirmed.

syncFalse

When True, on dual control plane systems, requests that the candidate configuration on one control plane be copied to the other control plane, checked for correct syntax, and committed on both Routing Engines.

force_syncFalse

When True, on dual control plane systems, force the candidate configuration on one control plane to be copied to the other control plane.

full

When True, requires all the daemons to check and evaluate the new configuration.

detail

When True, return commit detail

CLI Examples:

salt 'device_name' junos.commit comment='Commiting via saltstack' detail=True
salt 'device_name' junos.commit dev_timeout=60 confirm=10
salt 'device_name' junos.commit sync=True dev_timeout=90
salt.modules.junos.commit_check()

Perform a commit check on the configuration

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.commit_check

Returns the difference between the candidate and the current configuration

id0

The rollback ID value (0-49)

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.diff 3
salt.modules.junos.facts()

Displays the facts gathered during the connection. These facts are also stored in Salt grains.

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.facts
salt.modules.junos.facts_refresh()

Reload the facts dictionary from the device. Usually only needed if, the device configuration is changed by some other actor. This function will also refresh the facts stored in the salt grains.

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.facts_refresh
salt.modules.junos.file_copy(src=None, dest=None)

Copies the file from the local device to the junos device

src

The source path where the file is kept.

dest

The destination path on the where the file will be copied

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.file_copy /home/m2/info.txt info_copy.txt
salt.modules.junos.install_config(path=None, **kwargs)

Installs the given configuration file into the candidate configuration. Commits the changes if the commit checks or throws an error.

path (required)

Path where the configuration/template file is present. If the file has a .conf extension, the content is treated as text format. If the file has a .xml extension, the content is treated as XML format. If the file has a .set extension, the content is treated as Junos OS set commands.

modeexclusive

The mode in which the configuration is locked. Can be one of private, dynamic, batch, exclusive.

dev_timeout30

Set NETCONF RPC timeout. Can be used for commands which take a while to execute.

overwriteFalse

Set to True if you want this file is to completely replace the configuration file.

replaceFalse

Specify whether the configuration file uses replace: statements. If True, only those statements under the replace tag will be changed.

format

Determines the format of the contents

updateFalse

Compare a complete loaded configuration against the candidate configuration. For each hierarchy level or configuration object that is different in the two configurations, the version in the loaded configuration replaces the version in the candidate configuration. When the configuration is later committed, only system processes that are affected by the changed configuration elements parse the new configuration. This action is supported from PyEZ 2.1.

comment

Provide a comment for the commit

confirm

Provide time in minutes for commit confirmation. If this option is specified, the commit will be rolled back in the specified amount of time unless the commit is confirmed.

diffs_file

Path to the file where the diff (difference in old configuration and the committed configuration) will be stored. Note that the file will be stored on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

template_vars

Variables to be passed into the template processing engine in addition to those present in pillar, the minion configuration, grains, etc. You may reference these variables in your template like so:

{{ template_vars["var_name"] }}

CLI Examples:

salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://production/network/routers/config.set'
salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://templates/replace_config.conf' replace=True comment='Committed via SaltStack'
salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://my_new_configuration.conf' dev_timeout=300 diffs_file='/salt/confs/old_config.conf' overwrite=True
salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://syslog_template.conf' template_vars='{"syslog_host": "10.180.222.7"}'
salt.modules.junos.install_os(path=None, **kwargs)

Installs the given image on the device. After the installation is complete the device is rebooted, if reboot=True is given as a keyworded argument.

path (required)

Path where the image file is present on the proxy minion

remote_path :

If the value of path is a file path on the local (Salt host's) filesystem, then the image is copied from the local filesystem to the :remote_path: directory on the target Junos device. The default is /var/tmp. If the value of :path: or is a URL, then the value of :remote_path: is unused.

dev_timeout30

The NETCONF RPC timeout (in seconds). This argument was added since most of the time the "package add" RPC takes a significant amount of time. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds. So this :timeout: value will be used in the context of the SW installation process. Defaults to 30 minutes (30*60=1800)

rebootFalse

Whether to reboot after installation

no_copyFalse

If True the software package will not be SCP’d to the device

bool validate:

When True this method will perform a config validation against the new image

bool issu:

When True allows unified in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature enables you to upgrade between two different Junos OS releases with no disruption on the control plane and with minimal disruption of traffic.

bool nssu:

When True allows nonstop software upgrade (NSSU) enables you to upgrade the software running on a Juniper Networks EX Series Virtual Chassis or a Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switch with redundant Routing Engines with a single command and minimal disruption to network traffic.

CLI Examples:

salt 'device_name' junos.install_os 'salt://images/junos_image.tgz' reboot=True
salt 'device_name' junos.install_os 'salt://junos_16_1.tgz' dev_timeout=300
salt.modules.junos.load(path=None, **kwargs)

Loads the configuration from the file provided onto the device.

path (required)
