Campus Builder
New Features
The Junos Space Campus Builder application provides you with a workflow enabling you to simultaneously configure and manage multiple Junos devices within a network. The Junos Space Campus Builder application presents the following new feature:
Creation and application of port profiles—In Junos Space, a port profile is a predefined set of configuration parameters that were created based on Juniper Networks best practices. These port profiles, when configured on to a port, enable that port to play a specific role on the network. Port profiles apply a set of commands to the port that defines the role of the port, thereby simplifying the port configuration process.
Junos Space provides you with six predefined port profiles, which are based on the network components that you can connect to the switch port. The six predefined port profiles are:
- Desktop Port Profile—Enables you to connect a desktop to a switch port.
- Desktop and Phone Port Profile—Enables you to connect a desktop and phone port to a switch port.
- Switched Uplink Port Profile—Enables you to connect a switch port on the access layer to either a switch port on another access layer switch or to a switch port on the upper (distribution or core) layer.
- Switched Downlink Port Profile—Enables you to connect desktops and phones in a campus or branch environment, or to connect servers in a data center environment.
- Server Port Profile—Enables users from multiple VLANs to connect to a machine with virtual servers.
- Wireless Access Point Port Profile—Enables you to connect a wireless access point to a switch port.
Junos Space also allows you to customize certain parameters of these port profiles, such as bandwidth, broadcast limit, and so on, based on your network requirements. By using the port profile workflow provided in Junos Space, you can simultaneously configure a number of ports with specific network connection roles. You can choose to apply these profiles to one or more ports of a single device or to one or more ports of a group of devices belonging to the same platform.
