How to use ansible to switch vlans on a Juniper Switch

Question

I am using a variant of the example provided junipernetworks.junos.junos_l2_interfaces – L2 interfaces resource module

My playbook

- name: Switch VLAN
  hosts: all
  connection: local
  tasks:
    - name: Replace VLAN
      junipernetworks.junos.junos_l2_interfaces:
        config:
          - name: xe-0/0/16
            access:
              vlan: 100
        state: replaced

Output from Ansible:

[WARNING]: ['connection local support for this module is deprecated and will be removed in version 2.14, use connection ansible.netcommon.netconf']
fatal: [10.70.44.76]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (junipernetworks.junos.junos_l2_interfaces) module: provider Supported parameters include: config, running_config, state"}

So I updated the connection type to use netconf as recommend by the warning (and enabled netconf on the switch)

Updated Playbook:

- name: Switch VLAN
  hosts: all
  connection: ansible.netcommon.netconf
  tasks:
    - name: Replace VLAN
      junipernetworks.junos.junos_l2_interfaces:
        config:
          - name: xe-0/0/16
            access:
              vlan: 100
        state: replaced

Results in a Failed play but cryptic message

fatal: [10.70.44.76]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "b'None'"}

So next I tried their persistent connection:

- name: Switch VLAN
  hosts: all
  connection: juniper.device.pyez
  tasks:
    - name: Replace VLAN
      junipernetworks.junos.junos_l2_interfaces:
        config:
          - name: xe-0/0/16
            access:
              vlan: 100
        state: replaced

Results in a 3rd error!

fatal: [10.70.44.76]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Method not found"}

Anything else I am missing or can try?

I had solve the problem. Maybe you forget add variables "ansible_network_os: junipernetworks.junos.junos" when you use "connection: ansible.netcommon.netconf".
