Configure gRPC service for Legacy Dial-Out Connection

In legacy gRPC dial-out connections, the outgoing interface IP address is used as the source address. From release 24.2 onwards, you can configure a source IP address and routing instance for gRPC dial-out connections. This section describes the procedures for configuring the source IP address and routing instance for gRPC dial-out connections.

Configure an IP Source Address for Legacy gRPC Dial-Out Connections

Starting with Junos OS Evolved Release 24.2R1, JTI supports configuring a source IP address for legacy gRPC service dial-out connections on ACX Series routers, PTX Series routers, and QFX Series switches. In earlier releases that support legacy gRPC dial-out, the outgoing interface IP address is used as the source address without an option to configure a source IP address. This feature supports FLEX Deployments, providing the ability to send dial-out from the router's specified IP address or interface address (such as a loopback0 address).

If you do not configure a local address, the default local address is used.

To configure a local address:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit services analytics export-profile] hierarchy level and add the name of your export profile (here ep1).
  2. Include the local-address statement (here, with IPv6 address 2000:200::20).

    You can only use an IPv6 address for legacy gRPC dial-out connections (transport type grpc. IPv6 addresses are not supported by UDP transport. If UDP transport is configured, an error is displayed when you commit the configuration.

  3. Use the following operational mode command to confirm the local address configuration.

    The export file ep1 shows the IPv6 address 2000:200::20 as the local address.

Configure a Routing Instance for Legacy gRPC Dial-Out Connections

Starting with Junos OS Evolved Release 24.2R1, JTI supports configuring a routing instance for legacy gRPC service dial-out connections on ACX Series routers, PTX Series routers, and QFX Series switches.

If you do not configure a routing instance, the default routing instance is used.

To configure a routing instance:

  1. In configuration mode, go to the [edit services analytics export-profile] hierarchy level and add the name of your export profile (here ep1).
  2. Include the routing-instance statement (here, with routing instance mgmt-1).

    You can only configure a routing instance for legacy gRPC dial-out connections (transport type grpc. If UDP transport is configured, an error is displayed when you commit the configuration.

  3. Use the following operational mode command to confirm the routing instance configuration.

    The export file ep1 displays the routing instance as mgmt-1.
