About the Inventory Page

The Inventory page organizes the devices within your organization into distinct views.

The Installed Base tab lists all the devices associated with your organization, whether they are cloud-connected or linked to your organization through the account linkage workflow. For more information, see Integrate Your Juniper Support Resources to Your Organization.

The Switches, Routers, and WAN Edges tabs display the respective cloud-connected devices onboarded to the organization.

Devices become cloud-connected through a successful onboarding workflow. The devices can connect to cloud using one of the two service levels:

  • Onboarded (JSI-only)
  • Assured (Assurance + JSI)
Note:

The service levels are incremental. The most basic level is JSI, followed by the advanced Assured level, which includes JSI.

To access the Inventory page, click Organization > Inventory on the navigation menu.

The following sections describe the different tabs on the Inventory page and the tasks you can perform from these tabs.

Installed Base Tab

The Installed Base tab displays Juniper support information for the Juniper Networks devices linked to your organization. On the Installed Base tab, JSI displays data insights through various dashboards that can help improve network performance and uptime for your Juniper Networks devices linked to your organization.

You can onboard supported devices to the JSI service from this tab.

Note:

To access Juniper-maintained asset information about the Juniper Networks devices from the Installed Base tab, you (superuser) must first link your Juniper account to your organization. Click the Add Juniper Account button to link your Juniper Support credentials (created through the Juniper Support Portal), to integrate your Juniper account with your organization.

Alternatively, you can also link your account from the Settings (Organization > Settings) page. In addition, you can view and delete accounts linked to the organization from this page. For more information, see Integrate Your Juniper Support Resources to Your Organization.

The information on the Installed Base tab includes device-specific and customer-specific details along with the status information collected from the installed devices. Once the Juniper account is linked to your organization, the page displays the following banners:

  • The total number of devices categorized by device type. You can click a device type to filter data for only that device type.

  • The percentage of your devices that are currently assured (connected to Juniper Mist Routing Assurance or Juniper Apstra Cloud Services), onboarded (connected to Juniper Support Insights service), and not onboarded (not connected to any service level).

  • The total number of devices whose hardware EOS dates are in the immediate future (in less than 3 months) and the total number of devices that are approaching their hardware EOS dates (in 3 to 6 months).

For more information on the Installed Base tab, see Table 2.

Device Details Page

Juniper Support Insights displays detailed operational information about the device in the Device Details page.

To access the Device Details page, click the device entry in the table on the Installed Base tab. The Overview tab of the Device Details page appears.

  • Overview Tab—Displays general and contract information, hardware EOL dates for the device, and software EOL dates for onboarded device.

    For more information on the fields on the Overview tab, see Table 3.

  • SIRT Tab—Displays information on the security vulnerabilities advisories published by the Juniper Security Incident Response (SIRT) team for Juniper Networks devices connected to the cloud in your organization.

    The SIRT tab also displays a banner with the total counts and percentages of critical, high, medium, and low severity vulnerabilities for the device. You can filter the advisories relevant to the device based on the severity level. Click a severity level criterion on the banner to filter the advisories for that level. For example, if you click the Critical count or the Critical Vulnerabilities percentage criteria, the advisories are filtered to display only the critical advisories for the device.

    Note:

    If the Juniper Networks device is in cloud-connected (Assured or Onboarded) state, the SIRT tab displays a list of security vulnerabilities specific to the type of Juniper Networks device and the Junos OS version installed.

    But if a Juniper device is not connected to cloud, the SIRT tab displays a pop-up indicating that you must connect the device to cloud to view the list of security vulnerabilities specific to the device.

    Click OK to be redirected to the Installed Base page. To connect the device to cloud from the Installed Base page, click Adopt Device, copy the outbound SSH commands and commit them on the device. For more information, see Adopt a Device.

    From the SIRT tab, select an entry to view the Device SIRT Quick View pane. The Device SIRT Quick View pane displays detailed information about the advisory.

    For more information on the fields on the SIRT tab and Device SIRT Quick View pane, see Table 4.

  • PBN Tab—Displays information on the issues that affect Juniper Networks devices connected to the cloud in your organization.

    The PBN tab displays a banner with the total counts and percentages of critical, major, and minor known problems for the device. You can filter PBNs for a device based on the risk level. Click a risk level criterion on the banner to filter the PBNs for that level. For example, if you click the Critical count or the Critical Customer Risk percentage criteria, the advisories are filtered to display only the critical customer risk PBNs for the device.

    Note:

    If the Juniper Networks device is cloud-connected (Assured or Onboarded), the PBN tab displays a list of known issues relevant to the type of Juniper Networks device and the Junos OS version installed.

    But if a Juniper device is not connected to cloud, the PBN tab displays a pop-up indicating that you must connect the device to cloud to view the list of known issues specific to the device.

    Click OK to be redirected to the Installed Base page. To connect the device to cloud from the Installed Base page, click Adopt Device, copy the outbound SSH commands and commit them on the device. For more information, see Adopt a Device.

    From the PBN tab, select an entry to view the Device PBN Quick View pane.

    For more information on the fields on the PBN tab and Device Quick View pane, see Table 5.

Switches, Routers, and WAN Edges Tabs

The Switches, Routers, and WAN Edges tabs display devices that have been onboarded to either an Assured or Onboarded [JSI-only] service level. Following successful onboarding, a device will be listed on the respective tab in an unassigned state awaiting to be assigned to a site; see Assign a Device to a Site. You can view the device details such as device status, host name, model, a serial number, and so on from these tabs. See Table 1 for field descriptions.

To view more details of a device, click the respective Switches, Routers, or WAN Edges tab of the device, and click a device. The Device details page appears displaying the device information.
