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:

On the navigation menu, select Configuration > Devices.
The Devices page appears.
Select the device that you want to edit and click the Edit icon (pencil).
The Edit Device-Name page appears.
Edit the parameter values by referring to Table 1.
Click OK.
A message indicating that the device parameters are successfully updated in the Paragon Automation database is displayed, and you are returned to the Devices page.

Table 1: Editable Fields on the Edit `Device-Name`s Page
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	Enter the username to access the device with RADIUS (or custom) credentials. Enter the username to access the device with credentials you provided. The credentials you provided in the Username field will replace the credentials prepopulated by Paragon Automation.To not lose access to the device, the credentials you provided must be configured on the device.
Password	Enter the password to access the device with RADIUS (or custom) credentials. Enter the password to access the device with credentials you provided. The credentials you provided in the Password field will replace the credentials prepopulated by Paragon Automation.To not lose access to the device, the credentials you provided must be configured on the device.
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 `get community` string as configured on the device. The default is public.
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. Non-RFC Select this version to run in non-RFC 8231/8281 compliance mode. This is the default option. RFC Compliant Select this version to run in RFC 8231/8281 compliance mode. This is supported in Junos OS 19.x and later (Junos OS releases that are RFC 8231/8281 compliant) releases. Third-party path computation client (PCC) Select this version for any non-Juniper device that does not support association object.
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.
MD5 String	Enter an MD5 authentication key to authenticate and secure PCEP sessions between Paragon Pathfinder and the router. The MD5 authentication key must be the same as the authentication key configured on the router. Note: To configure MD5 authentication on a Juniper router, use the following commands in the Junos CLI: `user@pcc# set protocols pcep pce pce-id authentication-key md5-key` `user@pcc# set protocols pcep pce pce-id destination-ipv4-address dest-ip-address`
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 (`local-address` statement) that is configured for the export profile in Junos OS. 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: protobuf (default) json json_ietf
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.
