Network Automation in the WAN (NA-WAN)

Transcription

1 Network Automation in the WAN (NA-WAN) COURSE OVERVIEW: This three-day course is designed to introduce various Northstar and WANDL IP/MPLSView features including, but not limited to, topology discovery, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label switched path (LSP) management, LSP optimization, LSP calendaring, maintenance scheduling, failure simulation, reporting, network modeling, path demand placement, and hardware inventory. Students will learn to configure and monitor these features that exist on Northstar and IP/MPLSView platform with the help of a network built using vmx Series devices. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience configuring, monitoring, and analyzing the above features of Northstar and WANDL IP/MPLSView. Intended Audience This course benefits individuals responsible for managing MPLS networks that want to add automation using Northstar and WANDL IP/MPLSView, including individuals in professional services, sales and support organizations, and the end users. Course Level Network Automation in the WAN (NA-WAN) is an advanced-level course. WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS COURSE? This course benefits individuals responsible for managing MPLS networks that want to add automation using Northstar and WANDL IP/MPLSView, including individuals in professional services, sales and support organizations, and the end users. PREREQUISITES: Understanding of the OSI model Junos OS configuration experience of the Introduction to the Junos Operating System (IJOS) course or equivalent; Intermediate routing knowledge of the Junos Routing Essentials (JRE) course and Junos Intermediate Routing (JIR) or equivalent Advanced MPLS knowledge of the Junos MPLS and VPNs (JMV) course or equivalent. COURSE OBJECTIVES: After successfully completing this course, you should be able to: Describe the various WAN domains Describe the use cases for Northstar Describe the use cases for WANDL IP/MPLSView Describe types of LSPs that Northstar Controller is able to manage. Describe the virtual machines that provide the Northstar Controller's functionality and the role each virtual machine plays in the LSP WAN automation process. Perform the initial setup of the Northstar Junos VM. Login to a Northstar controller and perform an initial setup. Discuss different device roles in a Northstar Controller automated WAN. Explain the protocols used by the Northstar Controller to automatically discover, design and manage WAN network topologies.

2 Successfully launch, login, and navigate the Northstar Controller administrative interface. Use the Northstar Controller administrative interface to create automated PCE controlled LSPs. Use the Northstar Controller administrative interface to create automated PCE controlled and highly available LSPs. Automate re-routing of LSPs around links or devices that need to be taken off line for maintenance. Simulate link and node failures and view the effects of these failures on LSP tunnel routing across the WAN. Explain the features, capabilities, and benefits of IP/MPLSView and how they work to optimize WAN design. Access IP/MPLSView and navigate and customize the IP/MPLSView administrative interface Explain different methods of creating a baseline network model. Manage the different files that make up a network model and understand how these files are organized. Modify a network model by performing tasks such as adding links, nodes, and sites and save these changes to the modeled network. Optimize network demand paths, design diverse paths, and perform what-if scenarios to see how demands are routed Simulate link and node failures and view the effects of these failures on LSP tunnel routing across the WAN. Analyze and manage network information using the Report Manager interface. Perform hardware inventory procedures using the IP/MPLSView interface.
