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".

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

comment

confirm

Provide time in minutes for commit confirmation. If this option is specified, the commit will be rolled back in the given 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

The file will be stored on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

  junos.load:
    - name: salt://configs/interface.set
    - template_vars:

        description: Creating interface via SaltStack.

Sample template:

set interfaces {{ interface_name }} unit 0
name

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.

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 (default = False)
