New in version 2019.2.0.

Replace content of the configuration source, delimited by the line markers.

A block of content delimited by comments can help you manage several lines without worrying about old entries removal.

marker_start: The line content identifying a line as the start of the content block. Note that the whole line containing this marker will be considered, so whitespace or extra content before or after the marker is included in final output.
marker_end: The line content identifying a line as the end of the content block. Note that the whole line containing this marker will be considered, so whitespace or extra content before or after the marker is included in final output.
content: The content to be used between the two lines identified by marker_start and marker_stop.
append_if_not_found: False: If markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content will be appended to the file.
prepend_if_not_found: False: If markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content will be prepended to the file.
append_newline: False: Controls whether or not a newline is appended to the content block. If the value of this argument is True then a newline will be added to the content block. If it is False, then a newline will not be added to the content block. If it is None then a newline will only be added to the content block if it does not already end in a newline.
show_changes: True: Controls how changes are presented. If True, this function will return the of the changes made. If False, then it will return a boolean (True if any changes were made, otherwise False).
source: running: The configuration source. Choose from: running, candidate, or startup. Default: running.
path: None: Save the temporary configuration to a specific path, then read from there. This argument is optional, can be used when you prefers a particular location of the temporary file.
test: False: Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.
commit: True: Commit the configuration changes? Default: True.
debug: False: Debug mode. Will insert a new key in the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.
replace: True: Load and replace the configuration. Default: True.

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.blockreplace 'ntp' 'interface' ''

Applies configuration changes on the device. It can be loaded from a file or from inline string. If you send both a filename and a string containing the configuration, the file has higher precedence.

By default this function will commit the changes. If there are no changes, it does not commit and the flag already_configured will be set as True to point this out.

To avoid committing the configuration, set the argument test to True and will discard (dry run).

To keep the changes but not commit, set commit to False.

To replace the config, set replace to True.

filename

Path to the file containing the desired configuration. This can be specified using the absolute path to the file, or using one of the following URL schemes:

salt://, to fetch the template from the Salt fileserver.
http:// or https://
ftp://
s3://
swift://

Changed in version 2018.3.0.

text

String containing the desired configuration. This argument is ignored when filename is specified.

test: False

Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

commit: True

Commit? Default: True.

debug: False

Debug mode. Will insert a new key under the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

New in version 2016.11.2.

replace: False

Load and replace the configuration. Default: False.

New in version 2016.11.2.

commit_in: None

Commit the changes in a specific number of minutes / hours. Example of accepted formats: 5 (commit in 5 minutes), 2m (commit in 2 minutes), 1h (commit the changes in 1 hour)`, 5h30m (commit the changes in 5 hours and 30 minutes).

Note

This feature works on any platforms, as it does not rely on the native features of the network operating system.

Note

After the command is executed and the diff is not satisfactory, or for any other reasons you have to discard the commit, you are able to do so using the net.cancel_commit execution function, using the commit ID returned by this function.

Warning

Using this feature, Salt will load the exact configuration you expect, however the diff may change in time (i.e., if an user applies a manual configuration change, or a different process or command changes the configuration in the meanwhile).

New in version 2019.2.0.

commit_at: None

Commit the changes at a specific time. Example of accepted formats: 1am (will commit the changes at the next 1AM), 13:20 (will commit at 13:20), 1:20am, etc.

Note

This feature works on any platforms, as it does not rely on the native features of the network operating system.

Note

Warning

New in version 2019.2.0.

revert_in: None

Commit and revert the changes in a specific number of minutes / hours. Example of accepted formats: 5 (revert in 5 minutes), 2m (revert in 2 minutes), 1h (revert the changes in 1 hour)`, 5h30m (revert the changes in 5 hours and 30 minutes).

Note

To confirm the commit, and prevent reverting the changes, you will have to execute the net.confirm_commit function, using the commit ID returned by this function.

Warning

This works on any platform, regardless if they have or don't have native capabilities to confirming a commit. However, please be very cautious when using this feature: on Junos (as it is the only NAPALM core platform supporting this natively) it executes a commit confirmed as you would do from the command line. All the other platforms don't have this capability natively, therefore the revert is done via Salt. That means, your device needs to be reachable at the moment when Salt will attempt to revert your changes. Be cautious when pushing configuration changes that would prevent you reach the device.

Similarly, if an user or a different process apply other configuration changes in the meanwhile (between the moment you commit and till the changes are reverted), these changes would be equally reverted, as Salt cannot be aware of them.

New in version 2019.2.0.

revert_at: None

Commit and revert the changes at a specific time. Example of accepted formats: 1am (will commit and revert the changes at the next 1AM), 13:20 (will commit and revert at 13:20), 1:20am, etc.

Note

To confirm the commit, and prevent reverting the changes, you will have to execute the net.confirm_commit function, using the commit ID returned by this function.

Warning

New in version 2019.2.0.

saltenv: base

Specifies the Salt environment name.

New in version 2018.3.0.

result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs all operations it is still True and so will be the already_configured flag (example below)
comment (str): a message for the user
already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied
loaded_config (str): the configuration loaded on the device. Requires debug to be set as True

By default this function will commit the changes. If there are no changes, it does not commit, discards he config and the flag already_configured will be set as True to point this out.

To avoid committing the configuration, set the argument test to True and will discard (dry run).

To preserve the changes, set commit to False. However, this is recommended to be used only in exceptional cases when there are applied few consecutive states and/or configuration changes. Otherwise the user might forget that the config DB is locked and the candidate config buffer is not cleared/merged in the running config.

To replace the config, set replace to True.

template_name

Identifies path to the template source. The template can be either stored on the local machine, either remotely. The recommended location is under the file_roots as specified in the master config file. For example, let's suppose the file_roots is configured as:

file_roots:
  base:
    - /etc/salt/states

Placing the template under /etc/salt/states/templates/example.jinja, it can be used as salt://templates/example.jinja. Alternatively, for local files, the user can specify the absolute path. If remotely, the source can be retrieved via http, https or ftp.

Examples:

salt://my_template.jinja
/absolute/path/to/my_template.jinja
http://example.com/template.cheetah
https:/example.com/template.mako
ftp://example.com/template.py

Changed in version 2019.2.0: This argument can now support a list of templates to be rendered. The resulting configuration text is loaded at once, as a single configuration chunk.

template_source: None

Inline config template to be rendered and loaded on the device.

template_hash: None

Hash of the template file. Format: {hash_type: 'md5', 'hsum': <md5sum>}

New in version 2016.11.2.

context: None

Overrides default context variables passed to the template.

New in version 2019.2.0.

template_hash_name: None

When template_hash refers to a remote file, this specifies the filename to look for in that file.

New in version 2016.11.2.

saltenv: base

Specifies the template environment. This will influence the relative imports inside the templates.

New in version 2016.11.2.

template_engine: jinja

The following templates engines are supported:

New in version 2016.11.2.

skip_verify: True

If True, hash verification of remote file sources (http://, https://, ftp://) will be skipped, and the source_hash argument will be ignored.

New in version 2016.11.2.

test: False

Dry run? If set to True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

commit: True

Commit? (default: True)

debug: False

Debug mode. Will insert a new key under the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw result after the template was rendered.

New in version 2016.11.2.

replace: False

Load and replace the configuration.

New in version 2016.11.2.

commit_in: None

Note

Note

Warning

New in version 2019.2.0.

revert_in: None

Note

To confirm the commit, and prevent reverting the changes, you will have to execute the net.confirm_commit function, using the commit ID returned by this function.

Warning

New in version 2019.2.0.

revert_at: None

Commit and revert the changes at a specific time. Example of accepted formats: 1am (will commit and revert the changes at the next 1AM), 13:20 (will commit and revert at 13:20), 1:20am, etc.

defaults: None

Default variables/context passed to the template.

New in version 2016.11.2.

template_vars

Dictionary with the arguments/context to be used when the template is rendered.

Note

Do not explicitly specify this argument. This represents any other variable that will be sent to the template rendering system. Please see the examples below!

Note

It is more recommended to use the context argument to avoid conflicts between CLI arguments and template variables.

Returns:: a dictionary having the following keys:

result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs all operations it is still True and so will be the already_configured flag (example below)
comment (str): a message for the user
already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied
loaded_config (str): the configuration loaded on the device, after rendering the template. Requires debug to be set as True
diff (str): returns the config changes applied

The template can use variables from the grains, pillar or opts, for example:

{% set router_model = grains.get('model') -%}
{% set router_vendor = grains.get('vendor') -%}
{% set os_version = grains.get('version') -%}
{% set hostname = pillar.get('proxy', {}).get('host') -%}
{% if router_vendor|lower == 'juniper' %}
system {
    host-name {{hostname}};
}
{% elif router_vendor|lower == 'cisco' %}
hostname {{hostname}}
{% endif %}

New in version 2019.2.0.

Apply a patch to the configuration source, and load the result into the running config of the device.

patchfile: A patch file to apply to the configuration source.
options: Options to pass to patch.
source_hash: If the patch file (specified via the patchfile argument) is an HTTP(S) or FTP URL and the file exists in the minion's file cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading the file if the cached copy matches the specified hash.
show_changes: True: Controls how changes are presented. If True, this function will return the of the changes made. If False, then it will return a boolean (True if any changes were made, otherwise False).
source: running: The configuration source. Choose from: running, candidate, or startup. Default: running.
path: None: Save the temporary configuration to a specific path, then read from there. This argument is optional, can the user prefers a particular location of the temporary file.
test: False: Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.
commit: True: Commit the configuration changes? Default: True.
debug: False: Debug mode. Will insert a new key in the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.
replace: True: Load and replace the configuration. Default: True.

salt.modules.napalm_network.ping(destination, source=None, ttl=None, timeout=None, size=None, count=None, vrf=None, **kwargs)¶

Executes a ping on the network device and returns a dictionary as a result.

destination: Hostname or IP address of remote host
source: Source address of echo request
ttl: IP time-to-live value (IPv6 hop-limit value) (1..255 hops)
timeout: Maximum wait time after sending final packet (seconds)
size: Size of request packets (0..65468 bytes)
count: Number of ping requests to send (1..2000000000 packets)
vrf: VRF (routing instance) for ping attempt

New in version 2016.11.4.

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.ping 8.8.8.8
salt '*' net.ping 8.8.8.8 ttl=3 size=65468
salt '*' net.ping 8.8.8.8 source=127.0.0.1 timeout=1 count=100

salt.modules.napalm_network.replace_pattern(pattern, repl, count=0, flags=8, bufsize=1, append_if_not_found=False, prepend_if_not_found=False, not_found_content=None, search_only=False, show_changes=True, backslash_literal=False, source=None, path=None, test=False, replace=True, debug=False, commit=True)¶

New in version 2019.2.0.

Replace occurrences of a pattern in the configuration source. If show_changes is True, then a diff of what changed will be returned, otherwise a True will be returned when changes are made, and False when no changes are made. This is a pure Python implementation that wraps Python's sub().

pattern: A regular expression, to be matched using Python's search().
repl: The replacement text.
count: 0: Maximum number of pattern occurrences to be replaced. If count is a positive integer n, only n occurrences will be replaced, otherwise all occurrences will be replaced.
flags (list or int): 8: A list of flags defined in the re module documentation from the Python standard library. Each list item should be a string that will correlate to the human-friendly flag name. E.g., ['IGNORECASE', 'MULTILINE']. Optionally, flags may be an int, with a value corresponding to the XOR (|) of all the desired flags. Defaults to 8 (which supports 'MULTILINE').
bufsize (int or str): 1: How much of the configuration to buffer into memory at once. The default value 1 processes one line at a time. The special value file may be specified which will read the entire file into memory before processing.
append_if_not_found: False: If set to True, and pattern is not found, then the content will be appended to the file.
prepend_if_not_found: False: If set to True and pattern is not found, then the content will be prepended to the file.
not_found_content: Content to use for append/prepend if not found. If None (default), uses repl. Useful when repl uses references to group in pattern.
search_only: False: If set to true, this no changes will be performed on the file, and this function will simply return True if the pattern was matched, and False if not.
show_changes: True: If True, return a diff of changes made. Otherwise, return True if changes were made, and False if not.
backslash_literal: False: Interpret backslashes as literal backslashes for the repl and not escape characters. This will help when using append/prepend so that the backslashes are not interpreted for the repl on the second run of the state.
source: running: The configuration source. Choose from: running, candidate, or startup. Default: running.
path: Save the temporary configuration to a specific path, then read from there.
test: False: Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return the changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.
commit: True: Commit the configuration changes? Default: True.
debug: False: Debug mode. Will insert a new key in the output dictionary, as loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.
replace: True: Load and replace the configuration. Default: True.

If an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is interpreted as a keyword argument in the format key=val. That processing can be bypassed in order to pass an equal sign through to the remote shell command by manually specifying the kwarg:

salt '*' net.replace_pattern "bind-address\s*=" "bind-address:"

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.replace_pattern PREFIX-LIST_NAME new-prefix-list-name
salt '*' net.replace_pattern bgp-group-name new-bgp-group-name count=1

salt.modules.napalm_network.rollback(inherit_napalm_device=None, **kwargs)¶

Rollbacks the configuration.

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.rollback

salt.modules.napalm_network.save_config(source=None, path=None)¶

New in version 2019.2.0.

Save the configuration to a file on the local file system.

source: running: The configuration source. Choose from: running, candidate, startup. Default: running.
path: Absolute path to file where to save the configuration. To push the files to the Master, use cp.push Execution function.

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.save_config source=running

salt.modules.napalm_network.traceroute(destination, source=None, ttl=None, timeout=None, vrf=None, **kwargs)¶

Calls the method traceroute from the NAPALM driver object and returns a dictionary with the result of the traceroute command executed on the device.

destination: Hostname or address of remote host
source: Source address to use in outgoing traceroute packets
ttl: IP maximum time-to-live value (or IPv6 maximum hop-limit value)
timeout: Number of seconds to wait for response (seconds)
vrf: VRF (routing instance) for traceroute attempt

New in version 2016.11.4.

CLI Example:

salt '*' net.traceroute 8.8.8.8
salt '*' net.traceroute 8.8.8.8 source=127.0.0.1 ttl=5 timeout=1
