What Is the Minimum Configuration Required for Discovering and Managing Devices?
For Network Director to be able to discover and manage devices, the following minimum configuration is required:
- A static management IP address must exist on the device that is reachable from the Junos Space platform. This IP address can be in-band or out-of-band.
- SSH v2 must be enabled on the device.
- If you plan to use SNMP for device discovery, you must enable SNMP on the device and create the appropriate V1/V2/V3 credentials.
- The following protocol ports must be open between the
Junos Space Network Management Platform server and the devices:
- Port 22 for SSH connections. If you have changed the SSH port to a port other than port 22 on your Network Management Platform, you must change the SSH ports on your managed devices to the port that the Network Management Platform is using.
- Port 443 for virtualization support. Use port 443 for outbound traffic to vCenter servers.
- Port 10162 for SNMP traps. Network Director receives traps from managed devices on this port. (After you install Network Director, use Network Director to configure SNMP on your devices to send traps to Network Director on this port.)
- Port 8889 for the management of wireless LAN controllers.
- Port 21 (TCP) and port 69 (UDP) for uploading the software image and configuration file to the FTP server.
You can verify that the ports are open to the devices by logging in to the Network Management Platform CLI and executing the nmap command. For example, to verify that port 8889 is open to a controller, enter:
root@space# nmap <controller-ip-address> -p 8889
