junos_automation

This repository includes some basic examples for using Juniper's PyEZ and Ansible modules

Requirements

For PyEZ

pip install junos-eznc

You can also create a virtual environment to isolate this python project by doing:

virtualenv --python python3 .
source bin/activate #starts the venv
pip install -r requirements.txt #this will install all required dependencies

Once you want to leave the venv:

deactivate

For Ansible you must install it as well as the Juniper.junos roles module (example for Ubuntu)

sudo apt-get install ansible
ansible-galaxy install juniper.junos

OSPF provisioning with PyEZ

Please modify the hardcoded variables as needed in example_ospf.py The ospf.j2 jinja template is stored in the /templates folder Variables are being loaded from the host_vars folder. Please rename according to the hostnames you are using Finally, to run the script:

python3 example-ospf.py

BGO provisioning with Ansible

According to ansible best practices, credentials for the devices are stored inside a provider in the group_vars folder for each device group listed in your ./hosts file. Specific host variables are stored in host_vars which will be used to render the templates. To trigger the ansible playbook:

ansible-playbook pb-provision-bgp.yml
