Integration Tasks

To integrate the JUNOS routing platform into the SDX network, you must:

1. Configure the SAE to manage the JUNOS routing platform.
2. Configure the JUNOS routing platform to interact with the SAE.
3. Configure the JUNOS routing platform to apply changes that it receives from the SAE.
4. Add the JUNOS routing platform and an associated VR called default to the directory.

Configuring the SAE to Manage JUNOS Routing Platforms

To configure the SAE to manage the JUNOS routing platform, you must install the SDX software and configure the SAE to interact with the JUNOS routing platform. For information about these tasks see SDX Components Guide, Vol. 1, Chapter 2, Configuring the SAE.

Configuring the JUNOS Routing Platforms to Interact with the SAE

To configure the JUNOS routing platform to interact with the SAE, include the following statements at the [edit system services service-deployment] hierarchy level.

[edit system services service-deployment]

servers server-address {

port port-number;

}

source-address source-address;

Use the following guidelines for the variables in these statements.

server-address

• Specifies the IP address of the host on which you install the SAE.
• Value—IP address
• Guidelines—Be sure this setting matches the corresponding value in the SAE configuration.
• Default—None
• Example—192.0.2.2

port-number

• Specifies the port number for the SAE; this setting must match the value in the SAE configuration.
• Value—TCP port number
• Guidelines—Be sure this setting matches the corresponding value in the SAE configuration.
• Default—3333
• Example—3333

source-address

• Specifies the IP address of the source that sends traffic to the SAE.
• Value—IP address
• Guidelines—This setting is optional.
• Default—None
• Example—192.0.2.2

For complete information about configuring the JUNOS routing platform, see the JUNOS Internet Software documentation.

Configuring the JUNOS Routing Platform to Apply Changes It Receives from the SAE

To configure the JUNOS routing platform to receive configuration statements from the SAE and apply those statements to the configuration:

1. Create a configuration group called sdx that contains the configuration statements that the SAE sends to the JUNOS routing platform. To do so, include the groups statement at the [edit] level and specify the name sdx:

[edit]

groups {

    sdx;

}

2. Configure the JUNOS routing platforms to apply these statements to the configuration. To do so, include the apply-groups statement at the [edit] level:

[edit]

apply-groups sdx;

Adding JUNOS Routing Platforms to the Directory

You must add each JUNOS routing platform that the SAE manages to the directory. For information about this procedure, see SDX Objects Guide, Chapter 4, Managing Routers and Virtual Routers.
