Edit Devices
You must be an administrator or a user with edit device privileges to edit a device. You edit the device parameters to update the Paragon Automation database with values of device parameters that are not captured during device discovery or synchronization.
To edit a device configuration in the database:
Field |
Description |
---|---|
Device Group |
The device group to which the device belongs. By default, all devices discovered in a topology are assigned to the controller group, A device must be assigned to the controller group if you want to manage label-switched paths (LSPs) on the device. Note:
This field is not in use in this release, . |
Authentication |
|
Authentication Method |
Displays the authentication method—Credential-Based. If you have enabled the Use same credential for managing toggle button while adding a device, you can enter the RADIUS (or custom) credentials in the Username and Password fields. If you have disabled the Use same credential for managing toggle botton while adding a device, then the credentials generated by Paragon Automation are automatically populated in the Username and Password fields. The change in credentials does not affect the active session, and Paragon Automation must establish a new session to connect to the device for the changes to take effect. |
Username |
|
Password |
|
Protocols:SSH |
|
Timeout |
Number of seconds before a connection request to the device times out. The default is 300 seconds. Use the up arrow to increment and the down arrow to decrement this value or type a different value in the field. A value of 0 seconds allows a persistent connection (that is, the connection is available forever). |
Maximum Retry Count |
Number of retries for establishing a connection with the device. |
Protocols:SNMP |
|
Version |
Select the SNMP version to be used—SNMP v2 or SNMP v3. The default is SNMPv2. |
Get Community |
Enter the SNMP |
Port |
Port number on which the SNMP requests are to be sent. The default is 161. |
Timeout |
Enter the number of seconds after which an SNMP connection or request times out. The default is 3 seconds. |
Retry Count |
Number of times that an SNMP connection can be attempted. The default count is 3. |
Protocols:PCEP |
|
Version |
Select a Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) version to use from the list.
|
IP Address |
Enter the PCEP IP address used by the device to connect to Paragon Automation for managing LSPs. The PCEP IP address is usually the management IP address of the device. |
Protocols:PRPD |
|
Enabled |
Click to enable or disable (default) the Programmable Routing Protocol process (PRPD) on the device. |
Enable SSL |
Click to enable or disable (default) use of SSL by PRPD. |
IP |
IP address for PRPD on the device. The default is the device’s loopback address. If you do not enter a value, the device’s loopback address is used. |
Port |
Port on the device to establish a PRPD session. The default is 50051. |
Protocols:Netconf |
|
Enabled |
Click to enable or disable NETCONF on the device. |
Bulk Commit |
Click to enable or disable bulk commit on the device. If you enable this option, you can provision multiple LSPs in a single commit instead of using multiple commits. This improves provisioning efficiency.This option should be enabled for Point-to-Multipoint-Traffic Engineering (P2MP-TE) when you use P2MP on Juniper Networks devices. |
Retry Count |
Enter the number of times that a connection can be attempted on the device. The default is 3. A value of 0 means an unlimited number of retries; connection attempts never stop. |
iAgent/Netconf Port |
Enter the port number for NETCONF on the device. This port should not be used for any other service. The default port number is 830 for Juniper Networks devices and 22 for other devices. |
Device ID Details |
|
System ID to use for JTI |
Unique system identifier required for
Junos
Telemetry Interface (JTI) native sensors. Junos OS devices use
the following format:
host_name:jti_ip_address
for System ID where, host_name is the host
name of the device and the
jti_ip_address
is
the
( When a device has dual routing engines (REs), it might send different system IDs depending on which RE is primary. You can use a regular expression to match both system IDs. |
Management IP |
Enter the management IP address of the device. |
Flow/IFA Source IPs |
Enter one or more IP addresses (separated by commas) that the device uses to send NetFlow data to Paragon Automation. The IP address or addresses are used to send probe packets for flow monitoring using Inband Flow Analyzer (IFA). If there are more than one IP address, separate them with a comma. |
Syslog Source IPs |
Enter the list of IP addresses (separated by commas) that the device uses to send system log messages to the Paragon Insights component of Paragon Automation. For example, 10.10.10.23, 192.168.10.100. |
Syslog Host Names |
Enter the list of hostnames (separated by commas) for sending system log messages to the Paragon Insights component of Paragon Automation. |
SNMP Source IPs |
Enter the list of IP addresses (separated by commas) for sending SNMP messages to the Paragon Insights component of Paragon Automation. |
Advanced |
|
Initial Sync |
Click this toggle button to enable or disable (default) the device from sending a continuous stream of data to Paragon Insights until the device and Paragon Insights are synchronized. This option is disabled by default to reduce the processing load on the device. |
gNMI Support |
Click this toggle button to enable or disable (default) the gRPC network management interface (gNMI) on the device. |
gNMI Encoding |
If you enable gNMI support, select the gNMI encoding to be used from:
|
Open Config Port |
Enter the port on which the gRPC connection needs to be established for OpenConfig telemetry. |
Syslog Time Zone |
Specify the time zone in the format +/- hh:mm (with reference to GMT) for parsing the time stamp in the system logs. The system log time zone is usually the time zone in which the device is located. |
