User manual JUNIPER NETWORKS JUNOS SPACE 2.0 RELEASE NOTES

[. . . ] (Devices) Connecting to Device Discovery Target Using Telnet--Junos Space connects to devices running worldwide Junos OS with the Connect via Telnet option on the Discover Target page. [Release Candidate Test Quality] (Device Templates) Device Templates--Device templates let you remotely deploy and update the JUNOS OS configuration running · · · · 2 Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc. Network Application Platform on multiple devices on your network. Device template creation involves two major tasks: · Creating and publishing a template definition based on configuration options for a Juniper Networks Junos OS device family DMI schema and device specific values. Creating, validating, and deploying a device template based on a template definition instance. · The network designer creates the template definition and assigns the network operator to deploy the template. · (Users) Create User-Defined Role--Add one or more application workspace tasks per user-defined role using Platform > Users > Manage Roles > Create Role. [. . . ] The Network Activate software supports multipoint-to-multipoint (full mesh) services and point-to-multipoint (hub and spoke) services. New Features The Network Activate application supports the following new features: · Aggregated Ethernet interfaces--UNI interfaces for prestaged PE devices can be aggregated Ethernet (ae) interfaces. For example, you can create Layer 2 VPN Q-in-Q to Q-in-Q service that transports single-tagged frames or a Layer 2 VPN 802. 1Q to 802. 1Q service that transports double-tagged frames. Network Activate Release 2. 0 Issues The Network Activate 2. 0 release includes the following known issues: · An AE interface that specifies one or more logical interfaces with assigned IP addresses is not a candidate for UNI role assignment. [562759] A Functional Audit might show incomplete information in the Functional Audit result window. [559092] Functional Audit might fail when you modify a service order by changing the role of an N-PE device in a multihomed group from primary to secondary and then deploy the service order, if the VPLS service definition specifies "Asymmetric_Vlan_Range_Normalize_to_vlan_all" with Advanced option, and auto-pick enabled. [565249] · · QoS Design The QoS Design application allows you to configure Quality of Service (QoS) features to provide improved service to certain network traffic on Ethernet services. Enabling QoS on an Ethernet service can improve network service by providing dedicated bandwidth, setting traffic priorities across the network, improving loss characteristics, shaping network traffic, and managing network congestion. New Features Create a QoS profile to configure classification and policing for UNI ingress traffic and policing, scheduling and shaping for UNI egress traffic on Ethernet services. The QoS Design application includes the following workspaces that allow you to define levels of service that you can then apply to Ethernet services in the Network Activate application: · QoS Domains--Prestage QoS to partition your network into domains. A domain represents a group of N-PE routers for which the QoS treatment on the uplink interfaces is the same or similar. You can perform a single domain discovery operation to discover all the QoS domains on your network. Each QoS domain includes only those N-PE routers that share the exact rewrite rules and classifiers. If the scheduler maps are different, they are grouped in the domain as separate scheduler maps. Drop Profiles--Define parameters that allow packets to be dropped from the network. When the number of packets queued is greater than the ability of the router to empty a queue, the queue requires a method for determining which packets to drop from the network. · 6 Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc. Security Design · QoS Schedulers--A QoS scheduler defines the output queue properties for each class of service in the domain that is associated with the scheduler. Queue properties include the amount of interface bandwidth assigned to the queue, the size of the memory buffer allocated for storing packets, the priority of the queue, and the random early detection (RED) drop profiles associated with the queue. The QoS Design software supports two-level and three-level schedulers A two-level scheduler is a shared scheduler (or scheduler profile) that allows logical interfaces belonging to the same physical port to share one set of scheduling properties. A two-level scheduler can also include a drop profile to reference WRED congestion control of the queue. With a three-level scheduler, scheduling is performed at the interface level and the scheduler defines two parameters--the port oversubscription ratio and the interface oversubscription ratio. QoS Profiles--A QoS profile is a configuration template that allows you to create service offerings that provide priority to certain traffic when you provision Layer 2 Ethernet Services. A QoS profile defines classification and policing for UNI ingress traffic and policing, scheduling, and rewrite rules for UNI egress traffic on the N-PE devices for Ethernet services. · Known Issues The QoS Design 2. 0 release includes the following known issues: · Create scheduler issue when you deselect a class of service. If you clear the check box for some CoS rows and then edit one or more selected CoS rows, when you click OK the edited CoS rows that you configured are preserved. However, the CoS rows that were cleared before you clicked OK are automatically selected again. As a workaround, clear the checkbox for each CoS row that was automatically selected and then click Create. [. . . ] Cluster Support-- The JSVC will now work in a Cluster setup (JA Fabric setup). · · · 10 Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc. Junos Compatibility Feature Update · Change in vNetwork Inventory view-- The vNetwork Inventory page has been changed from a tree view to table view in order to improve performance. Operational Notes · · · · Junos Version 10. 1R1 and above required for P+V orchestration support. Before starting P+V Orchestration, ensure that no other session (CLI/Web) is in Edit mode on the physical switches. Another session in edit mode will hold up the orchestration operation until the session is completed. Known Issues · Job Progress view for the Inventory Resync job does not display progress in actual terms. It displays the job at 0% until it is completed, and transitions it to 100% once it is completed. [. . . ]
