## Synopsis

- This module provides declarative management of a Layer 3 interface on Juniper JUNOS devices

## Requirements

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

- ncclient (>=v0.6.4)

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
config list / elements=dictionary |  | A dictionary of Layer 3 interface options
| ipv4 list / elements=dictionary |  | IPv4 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 logical interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv4 address>/<mask>. The mask is number in range 0-32 for example, 192.0.2.1/24, or `dhcp` to query DHCP for an IP address
|  | address string |  | IPv4 address to be set for the specific interface
| ipv6 list / elements=dictionary |  | IPv6 addresses to be set for the Layer 3 logical interface mentioned in name option. The address format is <ipv6 address>/<mask>, the mask is number in range 0-128 for example, 2001:db8:2201:1::1/64 or `auto-config` to use SLAAC
|  | address string |  | IPv6 address to be set for the specific interface
| name string / required |  | Full name of interface, e.g. ge-0/0/1
| unit integer | Default: 0 | Logical interface number. Value of `unit` should be of type integer
state string | Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted | The state of the configuration after module completion

## 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
