Synopsis

This module provides an abstraction that enables and configures the netconf system service running on Junos devices. This module can be used to easily enable the Netconf API. Netconf provides a programmatic interface for working with configuration and state resources as defined in RFC 6242. If the netconf_port is not mentioned in the task by default netconf will be enabled on port 830 only.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
netconf_port integer		Default: 830	This argument specifies the port the netconf service should listen on for SSH connections. The default port as defined in RFC 6242 is 830. aliases: listens_on
provider dictionary			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.
	host string		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.
	password string		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 integer		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.
	ssh_keyfile path		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 integer		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.
	transport string	cli netconf ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	username string		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.
state string		present ← absent	Specifies the state of the `junos_netconf` resource on the remote device. If the state argument is set to present the netconf service will be configured. If the state argument is set to absent the netconf service will be removed from the configuration.

Notes

Note

Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
Recommended connection is network_cli. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
If netconf_port value is not mentioned in task by default it will be enabled on port 830 only. Although netconf_port value can be from 1 through 65535, avoid configuring access on a port that is normally assigned for another service. This practice avoids potential resource conflicts.
For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
