About the Inventory Page

The Inventory page provides a centralized view of all the devices associated with your organization.

The devices are organized into four distinct categories: Switches, Routers, WAN Edges, and Installed Base.

Use the tabs at the top of the page to switch between these categories.

Screenshot of the four tabs in the Inventory page: Switches, Routers, WAN Edges, and Installed Base.

The Installed Base tab displays all the devices associated with your organization, whether they are directly connected to the cloud or linked to your organization through the account linkage workflow.

The Switches, Routers, and WAN Edges tabs display the respective devices onboarded to the organization.

Devices become cloud-connected through a successful onboarding workflow.

The devices can connect to cloud using one of the two service levels:

  • Onboarded (JSI-only)

  • Assured (Assurance + JSI)

Note:

The service levels are incremental. The most basic level is JSI, followed by the advanced Assured level (Juniper Routing Assurance or Juniper Apstra Cloud Services), which includes JSI.

To access the Inventory page, click Organization > Inventory on the navigation menu.

The following sections describe the different tabs on the Inventory page and the tasks you can perform from these tabs.

Installed Base Tab

The Installed Base displays Juniper-maintained support information for all the Juniper Networks devices associated with your organization, whether they are directly connected to the cloud or linked to your organization through the account linkage workflow.

On the Installed Base, you can view JSI data artifacts for the devices linked to the organization. Use this information to track whether your devices have the latest software installed, their exposure to security vulnerabilities, known problems, and so on. The Installed Base provide relevant support resources that help you improve network performance and uptime.

The Installed Base includes an insights panel displaying the following data:

  • The total number of devices categorized by device type. You can click a device type to filter data for only that device type.

  • The percentage of your devices that are currently assured (connected to Juniper Routing Assurance or Juniper Apstra Cloud Services), onboarded (connected to Juniper Support Insights service), and not onboarded (not connected to any service level).

For more information on the Installed Base tab, see Table 2.

Integrate Your Juniper Support Resources with Your Organization

To integrate devices associated with your Juniper-registered account with your organization, you must link your Juniper-registered credentials (created through the Juniper Support Portal) to your organization.

After the account is successfully linked to the organization, you can access JSI data artifacts for the devices from the Installed Base. This includes all primary and secondary assets associated with your registered email address that is maintained in Juniper’s support database and covered by an active Juniper support contract

You can link multiple accounts with the organization.

To integrate your Juniper-registered account with the organization:

  1. Click Add Juniper Account.

    The Add Juniper Account pop-up appears.

  2. Enter your Juniper support credentials (created through the Juniper Support Portal).

  3. Click Add.

    On successful integration, the primary account name associated with your credentials is listed in the Linked Accounts section. The Linked Account section also lists other primary accounts that are currently linked to the organization.

Alternatively, you can link your account to the organization from the Settings page (Organization > Settings > Juniper Account Integration). If you no longer wish to view JSI data insights for devices associated with an account in your organization, you can unlink the account from this page. This removes the devices associated with the account from the organization. For more information, see Integrate Your Juniper Support Resources to Your Organization.

Account Validation

The information on the Installed Base tab includes device-centric and customer-centric details, along with the status information collected from the devices.

Note: JSI masks data to prevent unauthorized user access to customer-centric JSI information associated with the devices. You must successfully validate your identity to access the masked customer-centric information. For more information on validating your identity, see Validate Your Juniper Account.

In the Installed Base, you can view device-centric JSI data artifacts for devices that are directly connected to cloud or linked to your organization through the account linkage workflow. However, to view customer-centric JSI data artifacts for these devices, you must validate your account.

If you link your Juniper-registered account to the organization and log in with the same credentials your identity is automatically validated, granting access to customer-centric JSI data artifacts for the linked devices.

When you link multiple accounts, the Installed Base shows customer-centric information of the Juniper devices associated with the most recently linked account. The Installed Base hides customer-centric information from previously linked accounts. To access customer-centric information from an earlier linked account, you must re-validate that account. For more information on validating your identity, see Validate Your Juniper Account.

Device Details Page

JSI displays detailed support information about the device in the Device Details page.

To access the Device Details page for a device, click the device entry in the table on the Installed Base. The Device Details page appears.

Note: JSI masks data to prevent unauthorized user access to customer-centric JSI information associated with the device. You must successfully validate your identity to access the masked customer-centric information. Screenshot of the Device-Details page with device- centric and customer-centric information. The customer-centric information is masked, you must validate your identity to access it.
