Router Features
Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP)
Modeling of OSPF, ISIS, EIGRP, IGRP, and RIP routing protocols
OSPF two-layer hierarchy (backbone area and areas off of the backbone area)
Routing metric modification by modifying variables like the cost, reference bandwidth, interface bandwidth, and delay, according to each routing protocol’s metric calculation formula.
Equal Cost Multiple Paths (ECMP)
Path analysis displaying ECMP routes between two nodes
ECMP report listing ECMP routes in the network
Load balancing by splitting flows into subflows with equal cost paths.
Static Routes
Extraction of static route tables
What-if studies upon adding or modifying static routes
Policy Based Routes (PBR)
Extraction of PBR details (access list, policy route map)
What-if analyses by modifying the policy to use on an interface
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Extraction of BGP speakers, AS numbers, Peering points for both IBGP and EBGP, Route Reflectors, BGP communities, Weight, Local preference, Multi-exit discriminator, AS_PATH, and BGP next hop from router config files
Key integrity checks are performed such as finding BGP unbalanced neighbors and checking IBGP mesh connectivity
Implementation of the BGP route selection rules and bottleneck analysis to troubleshoot routing failures
BGP attribute modification for what-if studies
BGP map logical view of EBGP and IBGP connections
Virtual Private Networks (IP VPN)
Modeling of MPLS VPNs such as L3 VPN, L2 Kompella, L2 Martini, L2 CCC, and VPLS
VPN extraction from router configuration files
VPN topology display and reports
VPN-related integrity checks
Design and modeling of VPN via a VPN Wizard
Adding of VPN traffic demands
VPN monitoring and diagnostics (when used in conjunction with the Online Module)
Class of Service (CoS)
Extract of CoS classes and policies from router config files
Create and modify CoS classes and policies and assign policies for link interfaces.
View Link and Demand CoS reports and Link Load reports by CoS Policy
Multicast
Create, view and modify multicast groups
Create multicast demands and analyze their paths.
PIM modes including sparse mode, dense mode, bidirectional PIM, and SSM
VoIP
Define H.323 media gateways/gatekeepers, SIP user agents/servers, and codecs.
Perform a call setup path analysis and view a report of call setup delays.
Use the traffic generation wizard to generate traffic starting from Erlangs
OSPF Area Design
Design of the backbone network based on the following settings:
Specify which nodes to use as gateways and the areas accessible to this gateway
Specify administrative weights to be used for designed links from the Admin Weight feature
Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Tunnels for Traffic Engineering
Path Placement
Routing of LSP (label switched path) tunnels over physical links
Routing of traffic demand flows (forwarding equivalence class, or, FEC) over LSP tunnels and links
Modification
Modification of LSP tunnel preferred/explicit routes and media requirements (Bandwidth constraints, QoS requirements, Priority and preemption, affinity/mask and include-any/include-all/exclude admin-groups)
Addition of Secondary/Standby Routes
Net Grooming
Network grooming of tunnel paths
Configlet Generation
Configlets created based on added and modified tunnels
Templates can be specified
Path Diversity Design
Design primary and secondary/standby tunnel paths to be link-diverse, site-diverse, or facility-diverse.
View or tune the resulting paths.
Fast Reroute (FRR)
Specification of tunnels requesting FRR protection and FRR backup tunnels.
Simulation of routing according to FRR during link failure
Design of FRR backup tunnels for LSP tunnels requesting FRR protection according to site or facility diversity requirements
Inter-Area MPLS-TE
Design LSP tunnels between different OSPF areas for multi-area networks.
DiffServ TE Tunnels
Create and model Juniper Networks’ single-class and multi-class LSPs.
Configure bandwidth model (RDM, MAM) and bandwidth partitions.
Define scheduler maps (CoS policies) and assign them to links.
