Install with pip install ansible==2.9.21
Tests reachability using ping from devices running Juniper JUNOS to a remote destination.
Tested against Junos (17.3R1.10)
For a general purpose network module, see the M(net_ping) module.
For Windows targets, use the M(win_ping) module instead.
For targets running Python, use the M(ping) module instead.

ttl: description: - The time-to-live value for the ICMP packet(s). type: int dest: description: - The IP Address or hostname (resolvable by the device) of the remote node. required: true size: description: - Determines the size (in bytes) of the ping packet(s). type: int count: default: 5 description: - Number of packets to send to check reachability. type: int state: choices: - absent - present default: present description: - Determines if the expected result is success or fail. source: description: - The IP Address to use while sending the ping packet(s). interval: description: - Determines the interval (in seconds) between consecutive pings. type: int provider: description: - B(Deprecated) - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli) or C(connection: netconf).' - For more information please see the L(Junos OS Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_junos.html). - HORIZONTALLINE - A dict object containing connection details. suboptions: host: description: - Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. type: str password: description: - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. type: str port: description: - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for C(transport=cli)) or port 830 (for C(transport=netconf)) device. type: int ssh_keyfile: description: - Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. type: path timeout: description: - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. type: int transport: choices: - cli - netconf default: netconf description: - Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. type: str username: description: - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. type: str type: dict interface: description: - The source interface to use while sending the ping packet(s).
