Setting Up a Centralized Deployment

Before you set up a centralized deployment, complete the following tasks:

• Configure network devices and servers for the deployment. See the following topics:

  • Cabling the Hardware for the Centralized Deployment

  • Configuring the EX Series Ethernet Switch for the Contrail Cloud Implementation in a Centralized Deployment

  • Configuring the QFX Series Switch for the Contrail Cloud Implementation in a Centralized Deployment

  • Configuring the MX Series Router in the Contrail Cloud Implementation for a Centralized Deployment

  • Configuring the Physical Servers and Nodes for the Contrail Cloud Implementation in a Centralized Deployment

• Install Contrail Service Orchestration. See the following topics:

  • Removing a Previous Deployment

  • Provisioning VMs on Contrail Service Orchestration Nodes or Servers

  • Setting up the Installation Package and Library Access

  • Installing and Configuring Contrail Service Orchestration

  • Configuring Contrail OpenStack for a Centralized Deployment

• Upload VNF images. See the following topics:

  • Uploading the vSRX VNF Image for a Centralized Deployment

  • Uploading the LxCIPtable VNF Image for a Centralized Deployment

  • Uploading the Cisco CSR-1000V VNF Image for a Centralized Deployment

• Install VNF licenses.

  You can use the license tool to install vSRX licenses. See Installing Licenses with the License Tool.

• Publish network services with Network Service Designer.

To set up a centralized deployment.

1. Log in to Administration Portal as a service provider operator.

2. Create the POPs and associated resources.

   • You must create a (Virtualized Infrastructure Manager) VIM for each POP.

   • You can add an MX Series router as a physical network element (PNE) to provide a Layer 3 routing service to customer sites through use of virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances.

   • You add the Junos Space element management system (EMS) if you use a VNF that requires this EMS.

3. Add or import customers (tenants) in Administration Portal.

4. Access Contrail and add the following rule to the default security group in the Contrail project.

5. Allocate network services to each customer.

6. Upload licenses for other VNFs.

7. Access the view for a specific customer.

8. Create cloud sites for the customer.

   1. Create a regional service edge site for each branch site in the customer’s network.

   2. Create a local service edge site if customers access the Internet through the corporate VPN

9. If you configured a PNE, then associate the PNE with the site and configure a VRF for each customer site.
