Adding JUNOS Routing Platforms and Virtual Routers

On JUNOS routing platforms, the SAE manages interfaces. The SRC software associates a virtual router called default with each JUNOS routing platform. Each JUNOS routing platform in the SRC network and its associated virtual router (VR) called default must appear in the directory. The VRs are not actually configured on the JUNOS routing platform; the VR in the directory provides a way for the SAE to manage the interfaces on the JUNOS routing platform.

There are two ways to add routers to the directory:

Adding Operative JUNOS Routing Platforms

To add routers that are currently operative and have an operating SNMP agent:

  1. In the SDX Admin navigation pane, select o=Network, and right-click.
  2. Select Discover Network.

The Discover Network dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the IP address, the prefix of the network, and the SNMP community string.
  2. Click OK.

For each JUNOS routing platform, the software creates one VR called default. You can modify the configuration of these objects. For information about configuring these objects, see Adding Routers Individually and Adding Virtual Routers Individually.

Adding Routers Individually

To add a single router with SDX Admin:

  1. In the navigation pane, right-click the Network folder, and select New > EdgeDevice.

The New EdgeDevice dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the name of the router exactly as it is configured in the JUNOS software, and click OK.

The new device appears in the navigation pane, and the Main tab of the EdgeDevice pane appears.

  1. Edit or accept the default values for the router fields.

See Router Fields.

  1. Click Save.

Router Fields

In SDX Admin, you can modify the following fields in the content pane for a router (orderedCimKeys=<EdgeDeviceName>, o=network, o=umc).

Description

Management Address

Router Driver Type

QoS Profiles

Adding Virtual Routers Individually

To add a VR with SDX Admin:

  1. In the navigation pane, right-click the device to which you want to add the VR, and select New > VirtualRouter.

The New VirtualRouter dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the name of the VR, and click OK.

The new VR appears in the navigation pane, and the Main tab of the VirtualRouter pane appears.

  1. Enter or accept the default values for the virtual router fields.

See Virtual Router Fields.

  1. Select the SAE Connection tab in the VirtualRouter pane, and add SAEs that are connected to the router. See Specifying the SAEs That Can Manage the Router.

    NOTE: This step is required for the SAE to work with the router.


  2. Click Save.

Virtual Router Fields

In SDX Admin, you can modify the following fields in the content pane for a virtual router (virtualRouterName=<virtualRouterName>, orderedCimKeys=<EdgeDeviceName>, o=network, o=umc).

Specifying the SAEs That Can Manage the Router

You must add the addresses of SAEs that can manage this router. This step is required for the SAE to work with the router. To add the SAEs, select the SAE Connection tab in the VirtualRouter pane.

Adding an SAE

To add an SAE:

  1. Type the IP address of the SAE in the field below the Connected SAE box.

To specify the active SAE and the redundant SAE, enter an exclamation point (!) after the hostname or IP address of the connected SAE.

  1. Click Add.

Modifying an SAE Address

To modify an SAE address:

  1. Click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Modify the IP address in the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Modify.

Deleting an SAE Address

To delete an SAE address:

  1. Click the IP address of the SAE in the Connected SAE box.
  2. Remove the IP address from the field below the Connected SAE box.
  3. Click Delete.
