    • Full support (device observability, routing observability, service orchestration, active assurance, network optimization, and viewing topology weather map)—ACX7020, MX104, MX2008, and MX2010,

  • Configure aggregated Ethernet interface in a network implementation plan.

Observability

  • Discover Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) configured on the devices in your network.

  • Track label-switched path (LSP) or SR policies events and changes made to LSP attributes.

  • View performance graphs of custom KPIs.

Trust

  • Monitor device integrity using the integrity accordion on the Trust dashboard.

  • Run a compliance scan by configuring Trust settings.

  • Update Trust-related definitions for SIRT, EOL, and PBNs in an air-gapped installation.

Service Orchestration

  • Provision multihomed EVPN VPWS service with preconfigured LAG interfaces.

  • Provision multihomed L2 circuit.

  • Configure IRB interfaces for EVPN and L3VPN services.

  • Configure Q-in-Q tunneling for EVPN and L3VPN services.

  • Upload customized service designs.

Active Assurance

  • Add and configure VLAN interfaces for Test Agent Appliances.

  • Delete interfaces associated with Test Agent Appliances and Test Agent Applications.

  • Configure IPv6 addresses in the management interfaces of Test Agent Appliances.

Network Optimization
  • Set FAD constraints for tunnel profiles.
  • Configure tunnel profiles using NETCONF.

  • Implement tunnel diversity for enhanced network resilience.

  • Configure tunnels using NETCONF.

  • Set flexible algorithm definition (FAD) constraints for LSPs.

  • Configure equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routing to distribute traffic and improve bandwidth utilization.

  • Reroute LSPs based on link utilization threshold.

Planner

  • Use the Planning menu on the Routing Director GUI to import your production network into Routing Director for offline modeling and simulation.

Administration

  • Configure access control profiles to restrict access to Routing Director resources (devices, service instances, and tagging operations).

  • Configure Routing Director to forward SNMP traps to an external system.

  • Enforce security between the PCE (Path Computation Element) server and Path Computation Clients (PCC) by configuring a security mode.

Installation and Upgrade
