Prerequisites

Before setting up the Juniper Apstra Edge for Data Center Assurance (DCA), ensure that you have the following:

Account and Subscription

  • Your Apstra-managed fabric is fully operational and running Juniper Apstra vesion 4.2.0 or later.

  • Active Data Center Assurance account.

    For information about how to activate a Data Center Assurance account, see the User Activation and Login section of the Data Center Assurance Guide.

  • Active Marvis subscription on Wired/WAN/Wireless is required for the DCA integration with Mist. Marvis subscriptions are NOT necessary for data center switches.

    For information about Marvis subcription options, see Subscriptions for Marvis.

  • Active Juniper Apstra license.

    For information about Juniper Apstra software licenses, see the Juniper Apstra Datasheet.

Apstra Edge

  • Internet connectivity that provides the Edge container with access to Data Center Assurance.

  • Download the the Juniper Apstra Edge image files (Edge image) onto the host where you plan on running the installation. This host must be able to reach the Juniper Apstra controller.

  • The RECEIVER_PORT (default 9595) and the EDGE_SERVER_PORT (default 8081) do not have existing services using those ports on the host where the apstra-edge container will be installed.

    In the unlikely event that there is a port conflict, you can manually change these port numbers in the docker-compose.yml file of the .tgz Edge image download. Internal Edge services use these ports to stream vital data.

  • Configure ports to allow your device to connect with Juniper Data Center Assurance. For more information, see Configure Ports.
