diffs_file

Path to the file where the diff (difference in old configuration and the committed configuration) will be stored.

Note

The file will be stored on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

      • no_copy: When True the software package will not be SCP’d to the device. (default = False)
salt.states.junos.load(name, **kwargs)

Loads the configuration provided onto the junos device.

Install the mentioned config:
  junos:
    - load
    - path: salt//configs/interface.set

Compare a complete loaded configuration against the candidate configuration. For each hierarchy level or configuration object that is different in the two configurations, the version in the loaded configuration replaces the version in the candidate configuration. When the configuration is later committed, only system processes that are affected by the changed configuration elements parse the new configuration. This action is supported from PyEZ 2.1 (default = False)
template_vars
