Change Release
date_range 10-Mar-25

Before setting up the Juniper Apstra Edge for Apstra Cloud Services, ensure that you have the following:

Note:

Although it is not required, we strongly recommend that you install Juniper Apstra Flow. You can still use Apstra Cloud Services without Apstra Flow installed, but you will not benefit from new features like Service Awareness, Impact Analysis, or Dashboard. Additionally, new and exciting features in future releases require Juniper Apstra Flow.

For information about how to install Juniper Apstra Flow, see the Juniper Apstra Flow Installation Guide.

  • Your Apstra-managed fabric is fully operational and running Juniper Apstra version 4.2.1 or later.
    Note:

    Juniper Apstra version 4.2.1 supports the latest ACS features. If you are using Juniper Apstra 4.2.0, you can enjoy Marvis Virtual Network Assistant for Data Center, but you will not benefit from the latest ACS features.

    For information about the latest Apstra Cloud Services features, see the Juniper Apstra Cloud Services Release Notes.

  • Active Juniper Apstra Cloud Services account.

    For information about how to activate a Juniper Apstra Cloud Services account, see the User Activation and Login section of the Juniper Apstra Cloud Services User Guide.

  • Active Marvis subscription.

    For information about Marvis subscription options, see Subscriptions for Marvis.

  • Active Juniper Apstra license.

    For information about Juniper Apstra software licenses, see the Juniper Apstra Datasheet.

  • Internet connectivity that provides the Edge container with access to Juniper Apstra Cloud Services.

  • Download the Juniper Apstra Edge image files (Edge image), under Application Tools, onto the host where you plan on running the installation. This host must be able to reach the Juniper Apstra controller.

  • The RECEIVER_PORT (default 9595) and the EDGE_SERVER_PORT (default 8081) do not have existing services using those ports on the host where the apstra-edge container will be installed.

    In the unlikely event that there is a port conflict, you can manually change these port numbers in the docker-compose.yml file of the .tgz Edge image download. Internal Edge services use these ports to stream vital data.
