    Field

    Description

    Name

    Specify the name of the device, which can be:

    • An MX Series router used as an SDN gateway in a centralized deployment.
    • An MX Series router used as a provider edge (PE) router in a distributed deployment.
    • An SRX Series Services Gateway used as an IPsec concentrator in a distributed deployment.

    You can use any number of alphanumeric characters, including special characters.

    Example: MX-router-10

    Family

    Select the product series for the device.

    Example: MX

    Device Template

    Select the name of the device template for the device:

    • Juniper-MX-MIS—Customized device template for an MX Series router that prevents the creation of black holes when an administrative user activates a service at a site. Select this option only if you have been advised to do so by Juniper Networks.
    • SDN-GW-MX—Default template for MX Series router. Select this option for MX Series routers in centralized and distributed deployments.
    • SRX_Basic_SDWAN_HUB—Device template for an SRX Services Gateway used as a hub that offers basic SD-WAN functionality in a distributed deployment. Select this option only if you have been advised to do so by Juniper Networks.
    • SRX_Managed_Internet_CPE—Device template to manage an SRX Services Gateway devices for a managed internet service.
    • SRX_SDWAN_SUPPORT—Device template for an SRX Series Services Gateway with SDWAN deployment.

    Type of Device

    Select the type of device:

    • PNE—Use this option in a centralized deployment to add an MX Series router as an SDN gateway.

    • PE/IPsec—Use this option in a distributed deployment to add an MX Series router as a PE router, an IPsec concentrator or both, or to add an SRX Series gateway as an IPsec concentrator.

    PNE package

    If you specified that the device is an MX Series router for a centralized deployment, select the name of the package that contains metadata and configuration instructions for the PNE:

    • Juniper-MX—Use with the SDN-GW-MX device profile.
    • Juniper-MX-MIS—Customized device profile with MX Series configuration that prevents the creation of black holes when an administrative user activates a service at a site. Use with the Juniper-MX-MIS device profile.

    Management Type

    If you specified that the device is a PE router, IPsec concentrator, or both, specify whether Contrail Service Orchestration manages the device:

    • Managed—Select this option if you use Contrail Service Orchestration to manage the device.
    • Unmanaged—Select this option if you use an application other than Contrail Service Orchestration to manage the device. In this case, Contrail Service Orchestration uses the device object that you configure for presentation purposes only.

    Device IP

    Specify the IPv4 address of the management interface for the device.

    Example: 192.0.2.15

    Internet Gateway (optional)

    Specify one or more Internet gateway IPv4 addresses if the device connects to CPE devices that have access to the Internet. An Internet gateway IPv4 address may be the same as the IPv4 address of the endpoint of the IPsec tunnel on the IPsec concentrator for a CPE device.

    Example: 192.0.2.20

    User Name

    Specify the username that you configured when you set up the device. You use this username to log into the device. Providing login credentials gives Contrail Service Orchestration access to the device.
