The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| force boolean |
| The force argument instructs the module to bypass the package version check and install the packaged identified in src on the remote device. | |
| force_host boolean added in 2.8 |
| The force_host argument controls the way software package or bundle is added on remote JUNOS host and is applicable for JUNOS QFX5100 device. If the value is set to True it will ignore any warnings while adding the host software package or bundle. | |
| issu boolean added in 2.8 |
| The issu argument is a boolean flag when set to True allows unified in-service software upgrade (ISSU) feature which enables you to upgrade between two different Junos OS releases with no disruption on the control plane and with minimal disruption of traffic. | |
| no_copy boolean |
| 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. | |
| provider dictionary | Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli or connection: netconf.For more information please see the Junos OS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details. | ||
| host string / required | 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. | ||
| password string | 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 integer | Default: 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. | |
| ssh_keyfile path | 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. | ||
| timeout integer | Default: 10 | Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. | |
| username string | 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. | ||
| reboot boolean |
| 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 - / required | 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 | ||
