Synopsis

• This module manages hostname configuration on devices running Junos.

Requirements

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

• ncclient (>=v0.6.4)
• xmltodict (>=0.12.0)

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config dictionary			A dictionary of system Hostname configuration.
	hostname string		Specify the hostname.
running_config string			This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the Junos device by executing the command show system hostname. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state string		Choices: merged ← replaced deleted overridden parsed gathered rendered	The state the configuration should be left in. The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The states merged, replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show system hostname executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Notes

Note

• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the device being managed.
• This module works with connection netconf.
• See the Junos OS Platform Options.
• Tested against JunOS v18.4R1
