Module to interact with Junos devices.

maturity:

new

dependencies:

junos-eznc, jxmlease

Note

Those who wish to use junos-eznc (PyEZ) version >= 2.1.0, must use the latest salt code from github until the next release.

Refer to junos for information on connecting to junos proxy.

class salt.modules.junos.HandleFileCopy(path, **kwargs)

To figure out proper path either from proxy local file system or proxy cache or on master. If required, then only copy from master to proxy

salt.modules.junos.cli(command=None, **kwargs)

Executes the CLI commands and returns the output in specified format. (default is text) The output can also be stored in a file.

command (required)

The command to execute on the Junos CLI

formattext

Format in which to get the CLI output (either text or xml)

dev_timeout30

The NETCONF RPC timeout (in seconds)

dest

Destination file where the RPC output is stored. Note that the file will be stored on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

CLI Examples:

salt 'device_name' junos.cli 'show system commit'
salt 'device_name' junos.cli 'show system alarms' format=xml dest=/home/user/cli_output.txt
salt.modules.junos.commit(**kwargs)

To commit the changes loaded in the candidate configuration.

dev_timeout30

The NETCONF RPC timeout (in seconds)

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.

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
salt.modules.junos.diff(**kwargs)

Returns the difference between the candidate and the current configuration

id0

The rollback ID value (0-49)

d_id0

The rollback ID value (0-49)

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.diff d_id=3

NOTE: Because of historical reasons and the internals of the Salt state compiler, there are three possible sources of the rollback ID--the positional argument, and the id and d_id kwargs. The precedence of the arguments are id (positional), id (kwarg), d_id (kwarg). In other words, if all three are passed, only the positional argument will be used. A warning is logged if more than one is passed.

salt.modules.junos.dir_copy(source, dest, force=False, **kwargs)

Copy a directory and recursively its contents from source to dest.

Note

This function only works on the Juniper native minion

Parameters:

source : Directory to use as the source

dest : Directory in which to place the source and its contents.

force : This function will not copy identical files unless force is True

New in version 3003.

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.dir_copy /etc/salt/pki re1:/

This will take the pki directory, its absolute path and copy it and its contents to routing engine 1 root directory. The result will be re1:/etc/salt/pki/<files and dirs in /etc/salt/pki.

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_compare(file1, file2, **kwargs)

Compare two files and return a dictionary indicating if they are different.

Dictionary includes success key. If False, one or more files do not exist or some other error occurred.

Under the hood, this uses the junos CLI command file compare files ...

Note

This function only works on Juniper native minions

New in version 3003.

CLI Example:

salt junos-router junos.file_compare /var/tmp/backup1/cmt.script /var/tmp/backup2/cmt.script

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, ephemeral

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. Sets action to override

Note

This option cannot be used if format is "set".

replaceFalse

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

mergeFalse

If set to True will set the load-config action to merge. the default load-config action is 'replace' for xml/json/text config

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.

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:

py:func:cp.push <salt.modules.cp.push>.

template_vars

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_timeout1800

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. So this :timeout: value will be used in the context of the SW installation process. Defaults to 30 minutes (30*60=1800 seconds)

timeout1800

Alias to dev_timeout for backward compatibility

rebootFalse

Whether to reboot after installation

no_copyFalse

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