Synopsis

This module manages the interfaces on Juniper Junos OS network devices.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

ncclient (>=v0.6.4)

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list				The provided configuration
	description string			Interface description.
	duplex string		automatic full-duplex half-duplex	Interface link status. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only, either in half duplex, full duplex or in automatic state which negotiates the duplex automatically.
	enabled boolean		no yes ←	Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enabled the interface or `false` to disable it.
	hold_time dictionary			The hold time for given interface name.
		down integer		The link down hold time in milliseconds.
		up integer		The link up hold time in milliseconds.
	mtu integer			MTU for a specific interface. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
	name string / required			Full name of interface, e.g. ge-0/0/0.
	speed integer			Interface link speed. Applicable for Ethernet interfaces only.
state string			merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 18.4R1.
This module works with connection netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
