Creating and Managing Fusion Configuration Templates
Large campus might have many similar network topology instances. These instances can be Layer 3 Fabrics, or Junos Fusion Enterprise. Creating each of these instances afresh can be tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone.
Network Director enables you to create a configuration template for a Junos Fusion Fabric and reuse it in all similar instances. A configuration template combines the common settings that apply to an instance, such as the chassis details, ports to be used as cascade and cluster ports, software image for the satellite devices, and so on. However, you might still specify some additional configuration attributes while applying the template to a fabric or Junos Fusion setup.
Before you create a configuration template:
Understand the software requirements for the aggregation devices and the satellite devices. For more information, see Software Requirements for Junos Fusion.
Ensure that the software images for the aggregation devices and the satellite devices are uploaded to Network Director using the Image Management > Manage Image Repository in the Deploy mode.
You can perform the following tasks from the Manage Fusion Configuration Templates page.
Create a Configuration Template for Junos Fusion Enterprise
To create a Junos Fusion Enterprise configuration template:
Clone a Configuration Template
You can make a copy of an existing template by cloning the template. When you clone a template, Network Director copies all the settings to the cloned template. However, you can modify the settings in the cloned template based on your requirements.
To clone a Junos Fusion Enterprise:
Apply Configuration Template to Devices
If you plan to apply the template to a managed device, make sure that the device runs the Junos OS software image that is supported on Junos Fusion systems. For detailed steps on installing or upgrading software image using Network Director, see Managing Software Images. See Network Director release notes to know the Junos OS software version that is supported for Junos Fusion systems.
After you have created a configuration template, you can apply the template to aggregation devices. You can apply the template to aggregation devices that are already managed by Network Director or new aggregation devices.
To apply a configuration template to Junos Fusion Enterprise:
For Junos Fusion Enterprise, if you want to form a cluster setup and if the cascade port of the Aggregate device is connected to the base port (1 GE) of EX2300, EX3400, or EX4300 devices, you need to configure the cluster-policy manually by logging into the aggregation device. Execute the following commands to configure the cluster policy:
If the satellite device is part of a cluster, log in to the CLI of the aggregation device and execute the following commands:
user@aggregation-device# set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies port-group-alias port-group-alias-name pic pic-identifier port port-ID1
user@aggregation-device# set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies port-group-alias port-group-alias-name pic pic-identifier port port-ID2
user@aggregation-device# set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies port-group-alias port-group-alias-name pic pic-identifier port port-ID3
user@aggregation-device# set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies port-group-alias port-group-alias-name pic pic-identifier port port-ID4
user@aggregation-device# set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies port-group-alias port-group-alias-name set groups policy-number policy-options satellite-policies candidate-uplink-port-policy cluster-policy-name uplink-port-group pic-identifier
user@aggregation-device#set apply-groups policy-number
user@aggregation-device# set chassis satellite-management cluster cluster-number cluster-policy cluster-policy-name
View Details about a Configuration Template
To view details about a configuration template, select the template and click Details.
The Template Details for <template-name> window opens.
For a Junos Fusion Enterprise setup, the Template Details for <template-name> page displays the template name, deployment type, configuration type, software upgrade group details, and details of ports such as satellite cluster ports, cascade ports, ICL, and ICCP ports.
