JUNOScope Software Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the JUNOScope software.
The JUNOScope software is an element management application that provides tools for managing IP services for the J-series, M-series, and T-series routing platforms. (See Figure 1.)
JUNOScope element management tools include:
- Looking Glass for viewing real-time device operational, diagnostics, and troubleshooting information.
- Configuration Manager for archiving, importing, comparing, displaying, and restoring the configuration files on devices in the network. The Configuration Manager also includes a Web-based Configuration Browser and a Configuration Editor for managing configuration file content.
- Inventory Management System for scanning software, license, and hardware inventory and activity, such as adds, deletes, or changes of inventory on selected devices on the network. The Inventory Management System also allows you to view predefined reports or generate custom reports. The system also includes a demo database from which you can generate demo reports.
- Monitoring logs for viewing the status of completed, scheduled, or pending operations. An Audit Log lets you view the status all authentication activities and privileged operations performed by authorized users.
- Settings (Administration) for modifying JUNOScope settings. Using JUNOScope administration tools you can:
- Define the user IDs and passwords used to log in to a device.
- Define how to connect to devices and the authentication information used to log in.
- Connect the JUNOScope software to devices on the network.
- Define a dynamic group of devices so JUNOScope tasks can operate on many devices at the same time.
- Apply labels to statically organize a large group of devices on the network so JUNOScope operations, such as archive a configuration or inventory scan, can be performed on them.
- Define the date, time, and interval when you want a JUNOScope software operation to occur on devices in the network.
- Set up local accounts and template accounts so that local users and users with RADIUS accounts can log in to JUNOScope with appropriate permissions. Set up an Authentication Policy for users having local accounts and remote RADIUS accounts.
- Set up RADIUS authentication sever host information so that users with RADIUS accounts can log in to JUNOScope with appropriate permissions. Set up RADIUS accounting server host information so that authentication records and privileged operations can be audited.
- Import and export all JUNOScope settings data to the local file system.
- Create, edit, view, and run saved operations, such archive (Settings > Archive), restore (Settings > Restore), and inventory scan (Inventory Management > Scan) operations.
