New in version 2.1.
This module can install new and updated packages on remote devices running Junos. The module will compare the specified package with the one running on the remote device and install the specified version if there is a mismatch
| parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| force | yes |
| The force argument instructs the module to bypass the package version check and install the packaged identified in src on the remote device. |
|
| host | yes | 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. |
||
| no_copy | no |
| The no_copy argument is responsible for instructing the remote device on where to install the package from. When enabled, the package is transferred to the remote device prior to installing. |
|
| password | no | 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 | no | 22 | 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. |
|
| provider | no | Convenience method that allows all ios arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict. |
||
| reboot | yes | True |
| In order for a package to take effect, the remote device must be restarted. When enabled, this argument will instruct the module to reboot the device once the updated package has been installed. If disabled or the remote package does not need to be changed, the device will not be started. |
| src | yes |
The src argument specifies the path to the source package to be installed on the remote device in the advent of a version mismatch. The src argument can be either a localized path or a full path to the package file to install. aliases: package
|
||
| ssh_keyfile | no | 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. |
||
| username | no | 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. |
||
| version | no | The version argument can be used to explicitly specify the version of the package that should be installed on the remote device. If the version argument is not specified, then the version is extracts from the src filename. |
# the required set of connection arguments have been purposely left off
# the examples for brevity
- name: install local package on remote device
junos_package:
src: junos-vsrx-12.1X46-D10.2-domestic.tgz
- name: install local package on remote device without rebooting
junos_package:
src: junos-vsrx-12.1X46-D10.2-domestic.tgz
reboot: no
