Automation

I am using Ansible to perform some configurations on my Juniper switches.  I am using juniper_junos_config with the option to use set lines to add to the configuration.  One of my lines is a delete, but this will fail if the statement does not exist in the configuration.  Is there a way to make the delete conditional?

Hello,

try to use ignore_warning: true

This should solve out your issue.

Regards,
HS

The recommended approach for handling a deletion when the configuration might not be present would be to use the parameter ignore_warning.

Thanks for the replies!  This looks like it will work great.
