name

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

The dictionary of data for the jinja variables present in the jinja template

timeout30

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

overwriteFalse
Set to True if you want this file is to completely replace the

configuration file.

replaceFalse

Specify whether the configuration file uses "replace:" statements. Only those statements under the 'replace' tag will be changed.

comment

Provide a comment to the commit. (default = None)

confirm

Provide time in minutes for commit confirmation. If this option is specified, the commit will be rolled back in the given 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

The file will be stored on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

    - timeout: 100
    - reboot: True
Parameters

    • path: Path where the image file is present on the pro xy minion.

  • Optional --

    • kwargs: keyworded arguments to be given such as timeout, reboot etc

      • reboot: Whether to reboot after installation (default = False)

      • no_copy: When True the software package will not be SCP’d to the device. (default = False)

salt.states.junos.load(name, **kwargs)

Loads the configuration provided onto the junos device.

Install the mentioned config:
  junos:
    - load

    - load
    - template_path: salt//configs/interface.set
    - template_vars:

replaceFalse

Specify whether the configuration file uses "replace:" statements. Only those statements under the 'replace' tag will be changed.

format:

Determines the format of the contents.

updateFalse

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 (default = False)

template_vars

Variables to be passed into the template processing engine in addition to those present in __pillar__, __opts__, __grains__, etc. You may reference these variables in your template like so: {{ template_vars["var_name"] }}
