Add Branch or Enterprise Hub Sites Without Provisioning a Service

Starting from CSO Release 6.0.0, you can use the Device Management option to add a branch or enterprise hub site without specifying a service.

After you add the site, the status of the site changes to MANAGED. The site can remain in this state for any duration. You can perform the following tasks when the device is in the MANAGED state:

  • Apply stage-2 configuration or configuration templates

  • Access the device console

  • Reboot the device

  • Install licenses and certificates on the device

  • Install application signatures

  • Initiate RMA

You can deploy either a single or dual SRX CPE without adding a service. CSO Release 6.0.0 supports automatic cluster formation on SRX devices.

Note:

You cannot add a cloud spoke site with only device management capability. You must select a service for a cloud spoke site.

To configure SD-WAN or security features, you must assign a service to the device. You can edit the site to assign the services. After the service is assigned, the status of the device changes to PROVISIONED.

To add a site with only device management capability:

  1. Select Resources > Site Management.

    The Site Management page appears.

  2. Click Add and select Branch Site (Manual) or Enterprise Hub.

    The Add Branch Site or Add Enterprise Hub page appears.

  3. Complete the configuration settings according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
    Note:

    Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

  4. Click Next.

    A summary page is displayed.

  5. Review the configuration and modify the settings, if needed, from the Summary tab.
  6. If you did not enter serial number while creating the site, you must manually enter the serial number after adding the site, in order to activate the site.

    To manually activate the site:

    1. Click Activate Site link that appears next to Site Status.

      The Activate Site page appears.

    2. Enter the serial number of the device associated with the site.
    3. Click OK.

    The Site Activation Progress page appears displaying the progress of steps executed for activating the CPE device.

  7. If you enabled the Zero Touch Provisioning field, CSO pushes the prescript and stage-1 configurations, and the site status changes to MANAGED in the Sites page.

    If you disabled the Zero Touch Provisioning field for the device, you must copy the stage-1 configuration from CSO and commit it on the device.

    1. Click the Click to copy stage-1 config link next to the Prestage Device task in the Site Activation Progress page. If you close the Site Activation Progress page inadvertently, you can access the page from the Site Management page. Click the View link next to the status of the site, under the Site Status column.
      Note:

      You can also copy the configuration from the Devices page (Resources > Devices). Select the device and click Stage1 Config.

      The Stage-1 Configuration page appears displaying the stage-1 configuration.

    2. Copy the stage-1 configuration.
    3. Log in to the device and enter Junos OS configuration mode.
    4. Paste the configuration that you copied and commit the configuration.

      CSO applies the prescript and stage-1 configuration (includes the device configuration). The status of the site changes to MANAGED on the Sites page.

Note:

You can also add a site using the site templates. For more information, see Add Branch Sites by Using a Site Template.

Device
Note:

Some fields in this section are displayed only if you enable the Device Redundancy option.

Device Redundancy

Disabled by default. Enable this option for dual CPEs.

The following prerequisites are necessary for enabling device redundancy:

  • Ensure that the control and fabric ports between both the nodes are connected.

  • Ensure that the device is preconfigured for management connectivity (factory-default or prestaged). Do not configure the control, fabric, and data (reth) ports as these ports will be reconfigured.

    To identify the control, fabric, management, and data ports for each SRX model, refer to the SRX High Availability Configurator tool.

    Note:

    Do not generate the configuration in the tool as CSO generates and applies the cluster configuration automatically.

  • If you are using ZTP on SRX300 and SRX320 devices, use ge-0/0/7 as the predefined DHCP port instead of ge-0/0/0.

  • Provide the fabric and data (reth) port information in the device template. The control and fxp0 ports are predefined. To change the control port, change it in the platform device template. To change the data (reth) port, change it in the SDWAN device template.

Device Series

Select the device series.

Based on the device series that you select, the supported device templates (containing information for configuring devices) are listed.

Select a device template for the selected device series.

Device Model

Select the device model.

Device Root Password

The default root password is fetched from the ENC_ROOT_PASSWORD field in the device template. You can retain the password or change it by entering a password in plain-text format. The password is encrypted and stored on the device.

Serial Number

Enter the serial number of the device. Note that the serial numbers are case-sensitive.

If you do not enter the serial number, the branch site is created but not activated. See 6 to enter the serial number and activate the branch site later.

Node 0 Serial Number

For dual CPEs, enter the serial number of the primary CPE device. The serial number is case sensitive.

Node 1 Serial Number

For dual CPEs, enter the serial number of the secondary CPE device. The serial number is case sensitive.

Zero Touch Provisioning

Click the toggle button to enable or disable Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). This option is enabled by default.

Note:

By default, this button is disabled for vSRX. You can enable this button, if the Junos OS version running on vSRX supports phone-home client.

To use ZTP, ensure the following:

  • Device must have connectivity to CSO and Juniper phone-home server (https://redirect.juniper.net)

    Use telnet to verify connectivity:

    telnet redirect.juniper.net:443

    telnet CSO Hostname/IP:443

    If the connection is established, the device has connectivity to the phone-home server and CSO.

  • Required certificates for phone-home server and CSO are present on the device.

If ZTP is enabled, the Boot Image field is displayed and you must select an image that supports the Phone-Home client. During ZTP, the image on the device is upgraded to the image that you select for the Boot Image.

If you disable ZTP, ensure that the device has connectivity to CSO. If the device is not prestaged or preconfigured, then you must provide the details under the Management Connectivity section so that CSO can generate the configuration as part of the stage-1 configuration. You can skip the Management Connectivity section if the device has connectivity to CSO.

If you disable ZTP, you must copy the stage-1 configuration from CSO and commit it on the device to start the onboarding process. Use any of the following options to copy the stage-1 configuration:

  • Click the Click to copy stage-1 config link next to the Prestage Device task on the Site Activation Progress page.

    If you close the Site Activation Progress page inadvertently, you can access the page from the Site Management page. Click the View link next to the status of the site under the Site Status column.

  • On the Devices page (Resources > Devices), select the device and click Stage1 Config.
