Configuring AIM Organizations and Device Groups
This chapter describes how to set up Advanced Insight Manager (AIM) Organizations and associated settings. An organization represents a customer site in Juniper Support Systems (JSS). Organizations provide a way to manage multiple sites with one AIM installation by dividing the network into multiple logical customer sites.
If you install the AIM Base Product license, you can create one organization. Install the AIM Multi-Site feature license to create more than one organization,
An AIM organization requires a unique name, site ID, login name, and password to communicate with JSS. It also requires that you accept the agreement to share confidential device information with JSS before proceeding. The site ID is an identifier used in the JSS system. You can associate an organization with one or more device groups, providing a way to maintain groups of devices belonging to different customer networks. You can associate one or more devices to each device group. You can also associate a device group with one to five archive locations. You can associate an archive location with one device group at a time. You can associate a device group to one or more user groups. You can associate a user group to one or more AIM users. See Figure 12.
Device groups are used to partition devices within one Organization. For more information about setting up a device group, see Creating Device Groups. Device groups are also used in conjunction with user groups to limit the access of users to certain groups of devices. See Setting Up AIM Users.
While creating an AIM organization, you can register for and associate JSS alerts. When alerts are registered through AIM, instead of you receiving e-mail messages, the alert messages are received by AIM and displayed in Intelligence Manager. See Associating Registered Alerts with Organizations and.
(Optional) Using the AIM organization user interface, you can have AI-Script bundles automatically installed on multiple devices at once as long as the JUNOScope software is installed. AIM communicates with JUNOScope to install AI-Script bundles on devices that are managed by JUNOScope. To configure auto installation of AI-Script bundles to devices, see Automatically Installing AI-Script Bundles.
You can also manually configure and install AI-Script bundles on each device separately.
Only users with AIM Admin Settings privileges can configure Organizations and device groups.
