Juniper Networks Manager CIN Platform

About

This is an SNMP-based connector used to monitor and configure the Juniper Networks Manager. It allows you to monitor and change the device settings. The connector also uses an SSH connection to change the interface state of some ports. The data collected is centralized within the connector and used by DataMiner EPM for aggregation actions.

Important

This variant of the Juniper Networks Manager is to be used with the EPM D-DOCSIS solution.

If you would like the standalone variant, use the Juniper Networks Manager connector instead.

Product Info

Range Supported Firmware
1.0.0.x JUNOS Base OS Software Suite [18.3R2-S3.1]

Configuration

Connections

SNMP Main Connection

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
  • IP port: The IP port of the destination. (default: 161)

SNMP Settings:

  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device (default: public).
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values on the device (default: private).

Serial SSH Connection

This connector uses a serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SERIAL CONNECTION:

  • Interface connection:

    • IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
    • IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 22).

Initialization

Once you have created the element, on the Configuration page, enter the CLI/Serial credentials so the CLI polling can work properly. Once this is done, the element will start regular polling.

Web Interface

The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.

How to use

On creation of an element using this protocol, you must navigate to the Configuration page and enter the credentials for the CLI Interface in the section titled CLI Credentials. This will allow the protocol to start retrieving data from the CLI endpoint.

The protocol has several configuration options that will change its behavior:

  • Interface Settings: With these settings, you can enable/disable polling from an interface (SNMP, CLI) and also configure the frequency of the polling. This section also contains four buttons:

    • Update All: Polls from all interfaces.
    • Update SNMP: Polls from SNMP only.
    • Update CLI: Polls from CLI only.
    • Update Virtual: Polls Virtual Custom table data.

  • Entity Export/Import Settings: These settings handle the export of configuration files and import of provisioning files. You can:

    • Enable/disable the export and import feature with the Entity Export and Entity Import toggle button, respectively.
    • Specify the path where files will be exported and imported, with the Entity Export Directory and Entity Import Directory parameters, respectively.
    • Switch between exporting/importing to a local or remote location by using the toggle button Entity Export Directory Type or Entity Import Directory Type, respectively. Note that for the remote file handling feature to work, you must enter the credentials for the system in the System Credentials section and enter the path to the remote directory in the Entity Export/Import Directory parameter. The path must be shared/accessible.

  • Perform an export or import by clicking the Apply button in the relevant section.

This connector depends on correlation rules and automation scripts for communication with auxiliary connectors such as HP Network Automation and EPM connectors such as Skyline CCAP Platform EPM and Skyline CCAP Platform WM. To get the full functionality of this connector, make sure these correlation rules and automation scripts are configured and enabled.

DataMiner Connectivity Framework

The 1.0.0.x connector range of the Juniper Networks Manager CIN Platform connector supports the usage of DCF.

DCF can also be implemented through the DataMiner DCF user interface and through DataMiner third-party connectors (for instance a manager).

Interfaces

Dynamic interfaces

Physical dynamic interfaces:

  • DCF Interfaces are generated from interfaces with speeds above 10 Mbps.
