junos_get_facts - Retrieve facts for a device running Junos OS.

Author:Jeremy Schulman, Juniper Networks

Synopsis

New in version 1.0.0.

Retrieve facts for a device running Junos OS, which includes information such as the serial number, product model, and Junos OS version. The module supports using both NETCONF and CONSOLE-based retrieval and returns the information as a JSON dictionary. The information is similar to facts gathered by other IT frameworks.
