[j-nsp] Ansible juniper_junos -add license module?

[Stacy W. Smith]

Thanks Phil! 
I knew there was an RPC for this, but hadn’t had the chance to figure it out.

Adam,
Given the info from Phil, you can use a playbook similar to this:

---
- name: 'Add a license to a Junos device'
  hosts: junos-all
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - Juniper.junos

  tasks:
    - name: 'Add a license'
      juniper_junos_rpc:
        rpc: 'request-license-add'
        kwarg:
          key_data: ‘<add your license data here>'


Alternatively, you can load the license from a file or URL with:

---
- name: 'Add a license to a Junos device'
  hosts: junos-all
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - Juniper.junos

  tasks:
    - name: 'Add a license'
      juniper_junos_rpc:
        rpc: 'request-license-add'
        kwarg:
          source: ‘<URL to a file containing the license data>'


You can also refer to the documentation here: http://junos-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.2/juniper_junos_rpc.html <http://junos-ansible-modules.readthedocs.io/en/2.0.2/juniper_junos_rpc.html>

The modules do have limited support for initial device configuration if you have a direct serial connection from the Ansible control machine to the Juniper device’s serial console or if you have the serial console connected to a terminal server which is reachable via an unauthenticated Telnet port. (If the console server is only reachable over SSH or adds additional authentication, that’s not currently supported.)

Performing NETCONF operations over the serial console is sometimes problematic because the NETCONF gets interspersed with any console logging. There’s not currently a way to disable this, so the best bet is to simply repeat any failed NETCONF operations over the serial console.
