platform:

  unix

### Dependencies

- `NAPALM proxy module`

New in version 2016.11.0.

salt.grains.napalm.getos(proxy=None)

  Returns the Operating System name running on the network device.

  Example: junos, iosxr, eos, ios etc.

  CLI Example - select all network devices running JunOS:

      salt -G 'os:junos' test.ping

salt.grains.napalm.host(proxy=None)

  This grain is set by the NAPALM grain module only when running in a proxy minion. When Salt is installed directly on the network device, thus running a regular minion, the `host` grain provides the physical hostname of the network device, as it would be on an ordinary minion server. When running in a proxy minion, `host` points to the value configured in the pillar: `NAPALM proxy module`.

  Note

  The diference between `host` and `hostname` is that `host` provides the physical location - either domain name or IP address, while `hostname` provides the hostname as configured on the device. They are not necessarily the same.

  New in version 2017.7.0.

  CLI Example:

      salt 'device*' grains.get host

  Output:

      device1:
          ip-172-31-13-136.us-east-2.compute.internal
      device2:
          ip-172-31-11-193.us-east-2.compute.internal
      device3:
          ip-172-31-2-181.us-east-2.compute.internal

salt.grains.napalm.host_dns(proxy=None)

  Return the DNS information of the host. This grain is a dictionary having two keys:

  - `A`

  - `AAAA`

  Note

  This grain is disabled by default, as the proxy startup may be slower when the lookup fails. The user can enable it using the `napalm_host_dns_grain` option (in the pillar or proxy configuration file):

      napalm_host_dns_grain: true

  New in version 2017.7.0.

  CLI Example:

      salt 'device*' grains.get host_dns

  Output:

      device1:
          A:
              - 172.31.9.153
          AAAA:
              - fd52:188c:c068::1
      device2:
          A:
              - 172.31.46.249
          AAAA:
              - fdca:3b17:31ab::17
      device3:
          A:
              - 172.31.8.167
          AAAA:
              - fd0f:9fd6:5fab::1

salt.grains.napalm.hostname(proxy=None)

  Return the hostname as configured on the network device.

  CLI Example:

      salt 'device*' grains.get hostname

  Output:

      device1:
          edge01.yyz01
      device2:
          edge01.bjm01
      device3:
          edge01.flw01

salt.grains.napalm.interfaces(proxy=None)

  Returns the complete interfaces list of the network device.

  Example: ['lc-0/0/0', 'pfe-0/0/0', 'xe-1/3/0', 'lo0', 'irb', 'demux0', 'fxp0']

  CLI Example - select all devices that have a certain interface, e.g.: xe-1/1/1:

      salt -G 'interfaces:xe-1/1/1' test.ping

  Output:

      edge01.yyz01:
          True

salt.grains.napalm.model(proxy=None)

  Returns the network device chassis model.

  Example: MX480, ASR-9904-AC etc.

  CLI Example - select all Juniper MX480 routers and execute traceroute to 8.8.8.8:

      salt -G 'model:MX480' net.traceroute 8.8.8.8

salt.grains.napalm.optional_args(proxy=None)

  Return the connection optional args.
