Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| name | description | returned | type | sample | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| diff.prepared | 
        
        Configuration difference before and after applying change.

Notes
Note
- This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
 - Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
 
Status
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
