junipernetworks.junos.junos_vrf module – Manage the VRF definitions on Juniper JUNOS devices

Note

This module is part of the junipernetworks.junos collection (version 9.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install junipernetworks.junos. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: junipernetworks.junos.junos_vrf.

New in junipernetworks.junos 1.0.0

Synopsis

This module provides declarative management of VRF definitions on Juniper JUNOS devices. It allows playbooks to manage individual or the entire VRF collection.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
aggregate list / elements=dictionary	The set of VRF definition objects to be configured on the remote JUNOS device. Ths list entries can either be the VRF name or a hash of VRF definitions and attributes. This argument is mutually exclusive with the `name` argument.
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: `false` `true`
description string	Provides a short description of the VRF definition in the current active configuration. The VRF definition value accepts alphanumeric characters used to provide additional information about the VRF.
interfaces list / elements=string	Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF.
name string / required	The name of the VRF definition to be managed on the remote IOS device. The VRF definition name is an ASCII string name used to uniquely identify the VRF. This argument is mutually exclusive with the `aggregate` argument
rd list / elements=string	The router-distinguisher value uniquely identifies the VRF to routing processes on the remote IOS system. The RD value takes the form of `A:B` where `A` and `B` are both numeric values.
state string	Configures the state of the VRF definition as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the VRF should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the VRF should not be in the device active configuration Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
table_label boolean	Causes JUNOS to allocate a VPN label per VRF rather than per VPN FEC. This allows for forwarding of traffic to directly connected subnets, COS Egress filtering etc. Choices: `false` `true`
target list / elements=string	It configures VRF target community configuration. The target value takes the form of `target:A:B` where `A` and `B` are both numeric values.
description string	Provides a short description of the VRF definition in the current active configuration. The VRF definition value accepts alphanumeric characters used to provide additional information about the VRF.
interfaces list / elements=string	Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF.
name string	The name of the VRF definition to be managed on the remote IOS device. The VRF definition name is an ASCII string name used to uniquely identify the VRF. This argument is mutually exclusive with the `aggregate` argument
rd list / elements=string	The router-distinguisher value uniquely identifies the VRF to routing processes on the remote IOS system. The RD value takes the form of `A:B` where `A` and `B` are both numeric values.
state string	Configures the state of the VRF definition as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the VRF should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the VRF should not be in the device active configuration Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
table_label boolean	Causes JUNOS to allocate a VPN label per VRF rather than per VPN FEC. This allows for forwarding of traffic to directly connected subnets, COS Egress filtering etc. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
target list / elements=string	It configures VRF target community configuration. The target value takes the form of `target:A:B` where `A` and `B` are both numeric values.

Notes

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
Recommended connection is netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
For information on using CLI and netconf see the :ref:`Junos OS Platform Options guide <junos_platform_options>`
