Juniper CN2 Demos
Learn how to simplify multi-cluster scale with better networking and security in and between Kubernetes.
Simplify advanced Kubernetes networking when basic CNI isn’t enough.
Modernized to be Kubernetes native, CN2 delivers cloud-native, software defined networking (SDN) to automate VNF and CNF cloud networking under a single point of operations to achieve greater agility, flexibility, and improved economics.
CN2 Web GUI
The CN2 web GUI provides a customizable, easy to navigate graphical user interface to support Kubernetes and SDN cluster management from a single point of operations. The CN2 web GUI delivers real time visualization, monitoring, and management of namespaces, clusters, pods, workloads, and nodes with detailed CN2 reporting for vRouter and Controller pods and containers. The CN2 web GUI uses a powerful framework to make health monitoring, problem isolation and problem resolution easy and intuitive.
Easy and convenient access to advanced CN2 networking
Learning CN2 has never been easier. Run CN2 on Minikube from your local Linux, MAC, or Windows computer to give IT developers, DevOps engineers, and others interested in building advanced networking skills easy and convenient access to learn and experiment with CN2.
Simplify VNR routing policy using labels
In a previous video, routing policy with shared route targets was used to enable routing between two virtual networks. In this video, an alternative mechanism, using a VNR with labels, is demonstrated, making it easy for VNRs to establish network reachability for dynamic and fluid cloud workloads and clients.

Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 1 of 6 - Introduction: Extend Networks Beyond Kubernetes Into the Switching Fabric |
This video introduces you to new features to extend virtual networks beyond Kubernetes or OpenShift clusters to connect bare-metal and VM workloads, as well as SRIOV-based workloads, in the data center network fabric. This integration pairs CN2 SDN for Kubernetes with Apstra for multi-vendor, intent-based data center networking. Now with this CN2 add-on for Apstra, virtual networks spanning the container cluster and physical fabrics can be operated centrally from Kubernetes-native provisioning with CN2 custom resource constructs. |

Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 2 of 6 – CN2 GUI |
This demo of the CN2-Apstra integration shows off the CN2 web GUI and how Apstra-connected virtual networks and SRIOV-based pods show up in the CN2 user interface. |
|
Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 3 of 6 – Interconnection setup between CN2 and Apstra |
This demo of the CN2-Apstra integration shows off the one-time setup of the EVPN routing connection to federate the CN2 networking control plane with a switching fabric border leaf, simplified by the Remote EVPN Gateway feature of Apstra. |
|
Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 4 of 6 – Virtual networks in CN2 and Kubernetes are automatically created in Apstra |
This demo of the CN2-Apstra integration shows off a demo topology of three virtual networks with mixed workloads: SRIOV workloads, normal workloads and bare-metal server-based workloads outside of the cluster. We create a virtual network and network attachment definitions (NetworkAttachmentDefinition objects) inside of Kubernetes and they are propagated automatically into Apstra where we show it in the Apstra GUI. |
|
Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 5 of 6 – NetworkAttachmentDefinitions for SRIOV and non-SRIOV workloads automate Apstra connectivity |
This demo of the CN2-Apstra integration shows off a demo of workloads attaching to previously created virtual networks and Kubernetes NetworkAttachmentDefinition objects. As the workloads do so, we see that the Apstra GUI show the fabric ports facing the bare-metal servers and SRIOV workloads have been provisioned automatically into the respective fabric virtual networks. |
|
Apstra and CN2 Integration Demo 6 of 6 – Complete and verify automated networking between CN2 and Apstra |
This demo of the CN2-Apstra integration completes the demo workflow with a CN2 VNR that ties together the three virtual networks in CN2 and three virtual networks in Apstra into a single mesh topology. We conclude with connectivity checks across the workloads of various networks. |
|
CN2 Namespace Isolation |
CN2 brings high performance and high functionality routing and switching to the server. In this demo, CN2 uses namespace isolation as an additional level of abstraction to easily create secure network partitions to solve a key challenge of Kubernetes flat networking. |
|
Open-Source analytics with Prometheus |
CN2 provides enhanced observability with plug-and-play usability for some of the most popular open-source projects for ease of use, platform flexibility, and low cost. In this video, we demonstrate a few simple steps to add Prometheus event monitoring and alerting to your CN2 deployment. |
