ABOUT

Juniper Networks provides support for using Ansible to deploy devices running the Junos operating system (Junos OS). The Juniper Networks Ansible library, which is hosted on the Ansible Galaxy website under the role junos, enables you to use Ansible to perform specific operational and configuration tasks on devices running Junos OS, including installing and upgrading Junos OS, deploying specific devices in the network, loading configuration changes, retrieving information, and resetting, rebooting, or shutting down managed devices. Please refer to INSTALLATION section for setup.

OVERVIEW OF MODULES

• junos_get_facts — Retrieve device-specific information from the host.
• junos_install_config — Modify the configuration of a device running Junos OS.
• junos_install_os — Install a Junos OS software package.
• junos_shutdown — Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.
• junos_zeroize — Remove all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all key values on a device.
