Understanding How Junos Space Uses Ethernet Interfaces eth0 and eth3
Junos Space is designed to perform best using only eth0 if the managed devices are routable, using in-bound management. Use eth3 for a device management subnet if the managed devices are non-routable or on an out-of-band management subnet.
Table 8 describes how Junos Space interfaces intentionally function:
Table 8: How Junos Space IP Addresses Function
/Interface | Function |
---|---|
eth0 | SSH and device management if eth3 is not configured (node IP) |
eth0:0 | GUI interface with an instance of JBOSS running (GUI) |
eth1 | Not supported |
eth2 | Not supported |
eth3 | Device management when managed devices are on a subnet and not reacheable by way of eth0. |
Junos Space uses eth0 and eth3 interfaces as follows:
- Secure Shell Daemon (sshd) is listening on all IP addresses.
- The web interface is only on the VIP, the same subnet as eth0.
- Device management, outbound (discover) and inbound (post-discovery), including syslog and DMI, should be eth3, or eth0 if eth3 is not configured.
