What prerequisite configuration required is on network devices in order to manage them using Junos Space 1.1 release?
For the Junos Space software to discover and manage devices, the following minimum configuration is expected as a prerequisite on the devices:
- A static management IP is configured on the device. It could be in-band or out-of-band. This IP address must be reachable from the Junos Space server.
- A user ID belonging to the superuser class exists on the device. The Junos Space software uses this user ID to authenticate the SSH connection with the device.
- If you plan to use SNMP to probe devices as part of device discovery, SNMP must be enabled on the device with appropriate read-only V1/V2C/V3 credentials created.
- SSH v2 is enabled on the device. Use the following command
to enable SSH v2.
set system services ssh protocol-version v2 - Netconf over SSH is enabled. Use the following command
to enable netconf over SSH:
set system services netconf ssh - Ping/SNMP is enabled on the device. Ping/SNMP is used to confirm whether the device is reachable and whether it is a Juniper Networks device before adding it to the system.
The MPLS core must be provisioned with connectivity between the PE routers so that service provisioning will work.
