Deploying junos image and slax script files with Ansible ( for new EX switch juniper )

 In this port I will show you a simple playbook that scp a junos image file to a EX4200 switch along with  slax scripts to /var/db/script

This env was done in a virtualenv that was initially setup. You need to install via  pip junos-eznc module into your virtual-env

pip3 install junos-eznc

 or

pip install junos-eznc

The playbook is a very simple and uses a static username+password combination that we use during our unboxing and initial upgrade process

Both root-authentication and ssh services have to be set. If you use any other account othe user than root, it must be present in your junos-cfg. Root account regardless needs to be  defined.

configure

   set system services ssh

   set system root-authentication myinitailsetup

commit comment "setup new EX"

Here's the playbook;

We have a custom inventory file in our directory that we will serve the files. In this directory you will list your switch(s) by address.

TIP: if you want to run multiple tasks at the same time use the statement  below in your playbook

strategy: free

If all goes well the device will reboot and finish the installation
