Description

A bolt task which allows you to update Juniper devices with configurations snippets.

Setup

Setup Requirements

Tested on the following platforms Enterprise linux: 7, 8 Ubuntu: 18.04, 20.04 SLES: 12, 15

Requires expect and bolt

  1. Requires bolt to be installed see: https://puppet.com/docs/bolt/latest/bolt_installing.html#install-bolt-on-rhel-sles-or-fedora
  2. Use bolt to install module 'bolt project init --modules benjaminrobertson-juniper_config' Note: it will install in the current directory you're working in.
  3. In the same directory run 'bolt task show', you should see "juniper_config::config_apply Check and compare Junper config differences" listed

Note: unless the task is installed in your bolt module path, you will need to run bolt task from the juniper_config project directory

Beginning with juniper_config

Note: --transport=remote must always be set when using this task as this script is executed locally.

A basic config apply test

bolt task run juniper_config::config_apply --targets hostname --transport=remote config=/path/to/config user=bolt apply_mode=merge --noop

Usage

-- User with password to merge a configuration file --

bolt task run juniper_config::config_apply --targets hostname --transport=remote config=/path/to/config user=bolt password=hello apply_mode=merge

-- Applying to multiple devices in set mode --

bolt task run juniper_config::config_apply --targets hostname,hostname2,hostname3 --transport=remote config=/path/to/config user=bolt password=hello apply_mode=set

-- Applying to device with specified ssh key --

bolt task run juniper_config::config_apply --targets hostname,hostname2,hostname3 --transport=remote config=/path/to/config user=bolt ssh_key=/path/to/ssh/key apply_mode=set
