Routing Protocol Visualization
Routing, one of the most important features in network world. It’s been at least a two decades since most of ISPs rely on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in their core, supported by Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP). Local area networks are running and routing with use…
Follow up on network discovery
As a follow-up for previously published tips for first network discovery, we’ll get into some of the details about using basic authentication features and some troubleshooting tips when it discovery itself fails. Configuring network infrastructure access is mandatory in IP Fabric from the start and…
Testing procedures for network changes
Every network is growing, every network is becoming more complex due to all the requirements coming from the technology evolution or customer needs, e.g. building the more reliable network connections, application-based routing, etc. And all these facts are the triggers for all the changes we…
Troubleshooting basic discovery
One of the features that’s included in IP Fabric’s platform from the beginning of time is variability of network discovery inputs. First of all is Discovery Seed, which creates an entry point for discovery. Another functional feature is Filtering, which narrows down to what to…
Discovering First Hop Redundancy Protocol parameters
IP network gateway redundancy has become a very standard high availability solution. In IP Fabric’s platform it’s described as First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) feature that currently umbrellas HSRP, VRRP and GLBP protocol. I have prepared a little scenario in our virtual lab with a…
Export security policies from Juniper SRX
Juniper SRX is a wonderful firewall device with a lot of rich features. However sometimes the complexity of security policies may grow greatly with multiple embedded addresses or application objects, more virtual routing and forwarding instances, route leaks and so on. It can come to…
