Juniper Networks QFX3x00

Important

This connector is no longer supported by Skyline. Use Juniper Networks Manager instead.

This SNMP connector allows monitoring of the chassis and the interfaces for the Juniper Network QFX3x00 switches.

About

This connector is a standard SNMP connector that generally does not need any specific user interaction in order to work. After creation, various information is polled from the device and presented on different pages.

However, the connector does have one extra feature that requires user interaction, i.e., the conditional monitoring. With conditional monitoring, the user can set which rows should be monitored or not in certain tables. These settings can be imported or exported (see Configuration section below). Of course, conditional monitoring will only work if an alarm template has been assigned to the element.

Installation and Configuration

Creation

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 of the device.
  • Device address: Not required for this connector.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string used when reading values from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string used when setting values from the device. The default value is private.

Configuration of Conditional Monitoring

Conditional monitoring settings can be found on the page Conditional Monitoring. In an extra column in the monitored tables of the connector, you can set which rows should or should not be monitored.

These settings can be imported or exported. To import, first set the Import/Export Folder and Select File, then click Import File. To export, click Export File, and a new file will be created automatically in the selected folder. Click Refresh to add the files available in the Import/Export Folder to the Select File drop-down options.

The page contains four page buttons that link to other pop-up pages:

  • LED: Displays the LED table, which contains information about the various LEDs on the chassis.
  • Filled Status: Shows the State (Filled) of the containers.
  • Operating Status: Shows operating info (Temperature, CPU, ISR, DRAM Size, Heap, Memory, State, CPU Load, Up Time info, ... ).
  • FRU Status: Shows a list of FRU status entries.
