Hello All,

I have a question regarding a Juniper router but this may also apply to a  
Cisco router or switch.  
I am trying to do a config/restore config on this device.

I am using AWX 13. I can copy the configuration of the device to a file, no problem.  
I can use the “lines:” command (under junos\_config) to change or modify a single interface.

I can run ansible from the command line in a special container (ansible/pyez) and perform a copy and a restore no problem.

But if I try to restore the config using junos\_config - and perform an “update: replace”, reading from the backup file - it fails with a python error - expecting “integers” not an “str”

Any Ideas on why it will not read and load the new config file?
