salt.modules.junos¶

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
format : text: Format in which to get the CLI output (either text or xml)
dev_timeout : 30: 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_timeout : 30: 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.
sync : False: 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_sync : False: 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

id : 0: The rollback ID value (0-49)
d_id : 0: 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

junos-router:

Note

This function does not work on Juniper native minions

src: The source path where the file is kept.
dest: The destination path on the where the file will be copied

New in version 3001.

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.file_copy /home/m2/info.txt info_copy.txt

salt.modules.junos.fsentry_exists(dir, **kwargs)¶

Returns a dictionary indicating if dir refers to a file or a non-file (generally a directory) in the file system, or if there is no file by that name.

key:: To overwrite key provided in YAML
key_items:: To select only given key items
filters:: To select only filter for the dictionary from columns
table_args:: key/value pair which should render Jinja template command or are passed as args to rpc call in op table

CLI Example:

salt 'device_name' junos.get_table EthPortTable ethport.yml salt://tables

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.

mode : exclusive

The mode in which the configuration is locked. Can be one of private, dynamic, batch, exclusive, ephemeral

dev_timeout : 30

Set NETCONF RPC timeout. Can be used for commands which take a while to execute.

overwrite : False

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".

replace : False

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

merge : False

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

update : False

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.

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.

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

Variables to be passed into the template processing engine in addition to those present in pillar, the minion configuration, grains, etc. You may reference these variables in your template like so:

{{ template_vars["var_name"] }}

CLI Examples:

salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://production/network/routers/config.set'
salt 'device_name' junos.install_config 'salt://templates/replace_config.conf' replace=True comment='Committed via SaltStack'

salt.modules.junos.install_os(path=None, **kwargs)¶

Installs the given image on the device. After the installation is complete the device is rebooted, if reboot=True is given as a keyworded argument.

path (required): Path where the image file is present on the proxy minion
remote_path : /var/tmp: 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_timeout : 1800: 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)
timeout : 1800: Alias to dev_timeout for backward compatibility
reboot : False: Whether to reboot after installation
no_copy : False: If True the software package will not be SCP’d to the device
bool validate:: When True this method will perform a config validation against the new image
bool issu: False: When True allows unified in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature enables you to upgrade between two different Junos OS releases with no disruption on the control plane and with minimal disruption of traffic.
bool nssu: False: When True allows nonstop software upgrade (NSSU) enables you to upgrade the software running on a Juniper Networks EX Series Virtual Chassis or a Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switch with redundant Routing Engines with a single command and minimal disruption to network traffic.
bool all_re: True: When True (default), executes the software install on all Routing Engines of the Junos device. When False, execute the software install only on the current Routing Engine.
