Juniper Apstra Demo: Adding a New Virtual Network

0:01 [Music]

0:07 this video is to illustrate how easy it

0:10 is to add a new virtual network to an

0:12 existing data center fabric using

0:14 juniper appstra

0:18 the stage tab is where you can make

0:20 changes to the active blueprint under

0:22 virtual tab i'm going to create a new

0:25 routing zone

0:32 i'm going to allow the system to

0:34 allocate resources from pools that are

0:36 previously defined

0:40 this is the routing policy i'm going to

0:41 select for this tenant

0:48 as we see the new routing zone being

0:50 created we see red indicators telling us

0:52 that there's additional elements that we

0:54 need to define

0:58 in this case it's loopback ips so we're

1:01 going to select a pool

1:04 we'll save that and the resources will

1:06 be allocated for the configurations that

1:08 will be generated shortly

1:13 as the resources have populated the tab

1:15 turns green and the changes are queued

1:17 in the uncommitted tab for review before

1:20 we push the changes live

1:22 now we're going to create the virtual

1:24 network that resides within the new vrf

1:28 it's a vxlan that will extend to all of

1:31 the racks in the system

1:40 i specify the routing zone that we just

1:42 created in the previous step

1:47 let's use this selection to make the

1:49 same vlan id represent this virtual

1:52 network on each switch

1:55 when i make the tagged selection it will

1:58 create a connectivity template that

2:00 we'll use to add a tagged vlan to

2:02 workloads that we add later to the

2:04 fabric

2:11 and i'll specify all three racks that i

2:13 have in the system for the location of

2:15 this virtual network

2:22 another red tab appears that tells me i

2:24 need to specify a pool for ip addressing

2:33 i select a pool the addresses are

2:35 allocated and then the changes are also

2:38 queued in the end uncommitted tab

2:41 when it changes from red to yellow that

2:43 means that the change is waiting for me

2:45 to review before i commit them to the

2:47 active network in this case all looks

2:50 good so i will commit

2:56 it's recommended to write a note when we

2:58 make changes because it lets others know

3:00 what the change was about

3:06 and it will also show in the time

3:08 voyager tab in case we want to roll back

3:10 undo the change

3:20 at this stage i'm going to view the

3:22 configuration of the device and i'm

3:24 going to verify that the new virtual

3:25 network has been created

3:30 as a final result you can see red 41 now

3:33 exists in the configuration for this

3:35 leaf switch
