Junos console/bootstrap New-Out-Of-Box (NOOB) configuration automation.
There are times when you MUST console into a Junos device to perform the NOOB configuration. Generally this configuration is the bare minimum in takes to:
- set the root password
- set the host-name
- set the management ipaddr
- enable ssh and optionally NETCONF
The general use-case:
The netconify utility automatically performs this configuration by logging into the serial console, extracting information from the device, and using it to template build a configuration file, and load the result into the device. The templates are stored in /etc/netconify/skel and the device variables for each of the named devices are stored in /etc/netconify/hosts. There are some samples installed by this module.
usage: netconify [-h] [-i INVENTORY] [-m EXPLICIT_MODEL] [-j EXPLICIT_CONF]
[--qfx-node] [--qfx-switch] [--dry-run] [--no-save] [-F]
[-C PREFIX] [-S [SAVEDIR]] [-p PORT] [-b BAUD] [-t TELNET]
[-u USER] [-P PASSWD] [-k]
[name]
positional arguments:
name name of Junos NOOB device
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i INVENTORY, --inventory INVENTORY
inventory file of named NOOB devices and variables
DEVICE controls:
-m EXPLICIT_MODEL, --model EXPLICIT_MODEL
EXPLICIT: Junos device model, identifies file in
<prefix>/skel
-j EXPLICIT_CONF, --conf EXPLICIT_CONF
EXPLICIT: Junos NOOB configuration file
--qfx-node Set QFX device into "node" mode
--qfx-switch Set QFX device into "switch" mode
MODE controls:
--dry-run dry-run builds the config only
--no-save Prevent files from begin saved into --savedir
-F, --facts Only gather facts and save them into --savedir
DIR controls:
-C PREFIX, --confdir PREFIX
override path to etc directory configuration files
-S [SAVEDIR], --savedir [SAVEDIR]
Files are saved into this directory, CWD by default
TTY controls:
-p PORT, --port PORT serial port device
-b BAUD, --baud BAUD serial port baud rate
-t TELNET, --telnet TELNET
telnet/terminal server, <host>:<port>
LOGIN controls:
-u USER, --user USER login user name, defaults to "root"
-P PASSWD, --passwd PASSWD
login user password, *empty* for NOOB
-k prompt for user password
Junos NOOB devices can netconified:
unix> netconify demosrx
Where demosrx is the name identified in the /etc/netconify/hosts file. You can omit the name if your configuration files are static; i.e. are not templates with variables.
The NOOB conf file is selected from /etc/netconify/skel by the model of the device. So if demosrx was an SRX210H device, the output of the netconify would look like the following. I also included the command option to save a copy of the auto-generated config file.
[jeremy@linux]$ netconify demosrx --savedir .
TTY:login:connecting to serial port ...
TTY:login:logging in ...
TTY:login:starting NETCONF
CMD:conf:building from: /etc/netconify/skel/SRX210H.conf
CMD:conf:saving: ./demosrx.conf
CMD:conf:loading into device ...
CMD:conf:commit ... please be patient
TTY:logout:logging out ...
If your NOOB.conf files do not have any variables, i.e. static, then you do not necessarily need to provide the argument; since there is no need to do rendering. For these use cases, you can use netconify with no parameters:
[jeremy@linux]$ netconify
The device facts will be used to determine the model information, and from there, the correct NOOB.conf file will be selected and applied.

git clone this repo and then use python setup.py install to install.
This has been tested with python 2.7. The required modules are defined in setup.py.
This is still a work in progress, but it is far enough along that you can start trying it out. If you have any questions, please open an issue against the repo. Thank you.
