About the Inventory Page

The Inventory page lists the devices linked to an organization. Juniper Support Insights displays data insights for these devices through various dashboards that enable you to improve your network performance and uptime.

To access the Inventory page, click Organization > Inventory on the navigation menu. The Installed Base tab of the Inventory page appears.

Installed Base Tab

The Installed Base tab displays information about the Juniper Networks devices linked to your organization. You can onboard supported devices to the Juniper Support Insights service from this tab.

Note:

To access information about the Juniper Networks devices from the Installed Base tab, you must first link your Juniper Networks account to your organization from the Settings (Organization > Settings) page. For more information, see Integrate Your Juniper Support Resources to Your Organization.

The information on the Installed Base tab includes device-specific details along with the status information collected from the installed devices. The installed base information helps you decide whether you should connect a device to Juniper Support Insights. 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 on 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), attached (connected to Juniper Support Insights service), and not connected (not onboarded) to Juniper Support Insights.

  • 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 fields 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 on 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, and hardware EOL dates for the 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 the devices linked to your Juniper Networks account. The SIRT tab displays a banner with the total counts of critical, high, medium, and low severity vulnerabilities for all devices.

    Note:

    If Juniper Networks device is connected, the SIRT tab displays a list of security vulnerabilities specific to the type of Juniper Networks device and the Junos OS version installed. If a Juniper device is not connected, the SIRT tab displays a list of security vulnerabilities specific to the type of Juniper Networks device only. To connect a device to Juniper Support Insights, 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 and click the Quick View icon beside the Adopt Device icon to access 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 the devices linked to your Juniper Networks account. The PBN tab displays a banner with the total counts of critical, major, and minor known problems for the device.

    From the PBN tab, select an entry and click the Quick View icon beside the Adopt Device icon to access 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 JSI-only service level. Following a successful onboarding, a device will be listed on this 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 on a device. The Device details page appears displaying the device information.

On the top banner, view the number of adopted devices in the organization, categorized by device type.

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks on the Inventory page:

  • Adopt a switch, router, or WAN edge; see Adopt a Device.

  • Release a switch, router, or WAN edge—Releasing a switch, router, or WAN edge implies removing the device from the management of Juniper Support Insights due to reasons such as end of life (EOL) of the device. When you release a device, the SSH configuration that establishes the connection between the device and Juniper Support Insights is removed from the device and the device cannot connect with Juniper Support Insights.

    Select the device (under the appropriate tab) and click More > Release and click Yes on the Confirm Release page.

    Note:

    Releasing the switches, routers, or WAN edges only removes the outbound ssh configuration. You can add the ssh configuration when you adopt the device again.

  • Export details of all the devices in the CSV format—To export details of all devices, on the respective tab, click the Download CSV button. The details are exported to a CSV file that you can download to your local system.

  • Download the Installed Base data in CSV format by clicking the Download icon on the top-right corner of the Installed Base table.

    Note:

    If you open the downloaded CSV file with Microsoft Excel on a Mac computer, any non-English characters in the file might appear as special characters. To avoid this issue, follow the steps below:

    1. Open a new Excel file and then select File > Import > CSV File > Import.

    2. Select the file to be opened and then click Get Data.

      The Text Import Wizard window appears.

    3. Select Unicode (UTF-8) as File Origin.

    4. Click Finish.

  • Filter the data displayed in the table—Click the filter icon and select the fields you want to show or hide. You can also filter data based on keywords, enter the keywords in the search box. The filtered results are displayed on the same page.

  • Connect remotely to your switch, router, or WAN edge—You can directly connect to your switch, router, or WAN edge, and perform configuration, troubleshooting and testing tasks on your device through the command line; see Device Utilities.
