Table 1: CPE Data Fields
Field | Description |
|---|---|
customer_name | Specify the name of the customer. Example: Juniper-new1 |
site_name | Specify the name of the tenant site. Example: Juniper-site-17-new1 |
Serial Number | Specify the serial number of the CPE. For the NFX 250 platform, use the show chassis hardware CLI command to find the serial number of the device. Example: DD2316AF0177 |
activation_code ( only for NFX250 device) | Specify the code that an NFX250 device sends to the regional activation server to obtain its boot image. Other devices do not require the activation code. The administrator in the service provider network must also send the activation code to customers, so that the site administrator can specify the activation code when they start up the device. You can use an unlimited number of alphanumeric characters but special characters are not allowed. Best Practice: Use a different number for each customer; however, you can use the same activation code for multiple devices. Example: 545454 |
boot_image | Specify the name of the software image. Specify optional to use the boot image shipped with the device or select a release from the list. Example: jinstall-nfx-2-flex-15.1-20160701_15.1X53-D41.1.secure-domestic-signed.tgz You can download software images from Junos Platforms - Download Software and upload the image to the Administration Portal. See Uploading a Device Image. |
