Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as a Junos Space Node
After you deploy a Junos Space Virtual Appliance on a VMware ESX, VMware ESXi, or Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) server, you must enter basic network and machine information to make your Junos Space Virtual Appliance accessible on the network. You must also add disk space to the partitions of the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R2 onward, you can configure Junos Space Ethernet interfaces with only IPv4 addresses, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
From Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 16.1R1 onward, you can configure access to Junos Space through a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following information available:
IPv4 address and subnet mask for the node management (eth0) Ethernet interface
(Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth0 Ethernet interface
IPv4 address of the default gateway for the eth0 Ethernet interface
(Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth0 Ethernet interface
IPv4 address of the name server
(Optional) IPv6 address of the name server
(Optional) IPv4 address and subnet mask for the Ethernet interface eth3, if you are configuring a device management interface.
NoteWhen you configure the eth3 interface as the device management interface, the IP addresses of the eth0 and eth3 Ethernet interfaces must be in different subnets.
(Optional) IPv4 address of the default gateway for the eth3 Ethernet interface
NoteIf you configure the IPv4 address for the eth3 Ethernet interface, you must configure the IPv4 address of the default gateway.
(Optional) IPv6 address and prefix for the eth3 Ethernet interface
(Optional) IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth3 Ethernet interface
NoteIf you configure the IPv6 address for the eth3 Ethernet interface, you must configure the IPv6 address of the default gateway for the eth3 interface.
Virtual IP (VIP) address in IPv4 and IPv6 formats
The IPv4 format of the VIP address is used for accessing the Junos Space Network Management Platform GUI through a Web browser. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the IP address assigned to the eth0 Ethernet interface
The IPv6 format of the VIP address is used for receiving SNMP traps from managed devices.
IPv4 address or URI of the NTP source to synchronize time
(Optional) IPv4 address of the eth1 Ethernet interface
If the IP address of the eth1 interface is not in the same subnet as the VIP address, ensure that you have the subnet mask and the default gateway for the eth1 interface.
(Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT outbound SSH
(Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT outbound SSH
(Optional) IPv4 port number for the NAT outbound SSH
(Optional) IPv6 port number for the NAT outbound SSH
(Optional) IPv4 address for the NAT trap
(Optional) IPv6 address for the NAT trap
(Optional) IPv4 port number for the NAT trap
(Optional) IPv6 port number for the NAT trap
This topic discusses the following tasks:
Configuring a Junos Space Virtual Appliance
You can configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance as the first or standalone node in a cluster or add the node to an existing cluster.
To configure a Junos Space Virtual Appliance:
- Using a virtual machine client (such as VMware vSphere Client or Virtual Machine Manager [VMM]), log in and power on the Junos Space Virtual Appliance.
- Access the console on the virtual machine client to view the Junos Space login prompt.
- At the Junos Space login prompt, type admin as your default login name and press Enter.content_copy zoom_out_map
space-node login:admin Password:
You are prompted to enter the administrator password.
- Type abc123 as the default
administrator password and press Enter.
Junos Space prompts you to change your default password.
- To change the default password, do the following:
Type the default password and press Enter.
Type your new password and press Enter.
Retype your new password and press Enter.
If the password is changed successfully, the following message is displayed.
content_copy zoom_out_mappasswd: all authentication tokens updated successfully
NoteYou can choose a password that is at least eight characters long and contains characters from at least three of the following four character classes: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers (0 through 9), and special characters.
However, if a password satisfies the preceding criteria but contains only a single uppercase letter at the beginning or only a single number at the end, then that password is considered invalid. For example, Abcdwip9, Qc9rdiwt, and bRfjvin9 are invalid passwords, but AAbcdwip99, Qc9rdiwtQ, and bRfjvin99 are valid passwords.
Alternatively, instead of using a string of characters, you can choose a passphrase that is between 16 and 40 characters long and contains at least three dictionary words separated by at least one special character. For example, big#three;fork (14 characters long) and circlefaceglass (no special characters) are invalid passphrases, but @big#three;fork& and circle;face;glass are valid passphrases.
Passwords and passphrases are case-sensitive.
- Enter the new password to log in to Junos Space.
- Type S to install the virtual
appliance as a Junos Space node. content_copy zoom_out_map

If you are configuring a standalone node, you are prompted to configure the NTP server. Go to Step e.
If you are configuring a node to be added to an existing cluster, the Settings Summary is displayed, as shown in the following example:
Settings Summary > IPv4 Change: eth0 is 192.168.26.151 / 255.255.254.0 > Default IPv4 Gateway = 192.168.27.10 on eth0 > IPV6 Change: eth0 is 2001:db8:30:0:0:26:0:97 / 120 > Default IPv6 Gateway = 2001:db8:30:0:0:26:0:95 on eth0 > IPv4 DNS add: 192.168.27.2 > DNS add: 2001:db8:30:0:0:26:0:97 > IPv4 Change: eth3 is 192.168.130.2 / 255.255.254.0 > eth3 IPv4 Gateway: 192.168.130.5 > IPV6 Change: eth3 is 2001:db8:35:0:0:130:0:97 / 120 > eth3 IPv6 Gateway: 2001:db8:35:0:0:130:0:95 > NAT IPv4 Outbound SSH IP: 192.168.26.213 > NAT IPv4 Outbound SSH Port: 5051 > NAT IPv6 Outbound SSH IP: 2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:130:0:2 > NAT IPv6 Outbound SSH Port: 5053 > Node to be added to existing cluster A> Apply settings C> Change settings Q> Quit and set up later R> Redraw Menu Choice [ACQR]:

Configuring the eth1 Ethernet Interface
You use the eth1 Ethernet interface as the administrative interface for a Junos Space node. Configure the eth1 interface after the Junos Space node reboots after completing the basic configuration.
The eth1 interface must be configured separately for each node in a multinode fabric.
If you configure the eth1 interface, SSH is disabled on the eth0 and the eth3 interfaces. You can then access the CLI of the Junos Space virtual appliance only through the eth1 interface.
To configure the eth1 interface:
- On the Junos Space Settings Menu, type 7 to access the shell.
You are prompted to enter your password.
- Type your password and press Enter.
The shell prompt appears.
- At the shell prompt, type jmp_config and press
Enter.
You are prompted to enter the IP address of the eth1 interface.
- Type the IP address of the eth1 interface in dotted-decimal
notation and press Enter.
The IP address can be in the same subnet as the virtual IP (VIP) address or in a different subnet. If the IP address is not in the same subnet as the VIP address, you are prompted to enter the subnet mask and then the default gateway for the eth1 interface.
- (Optional) Type the subnet mask for the eth1 interface in dotted-decimal notation and press Enter.
- (Optional) Type the default gateway in dotted-decimal
notation and press Enter.
The eth1 interface is configured.
- To verify that the eth1 address is configured, run the ifconfig eth1 command and check that the IP address displayed
for eth1 is the same as the one that you configured.
You can now access the Junos Space node through the eth1 interface to perform administrative tasks.
To troubleshoot issues in configuring the eth1 interface, refer
to the /var/log/changeEth1.log
file.
