Junos Space 2.0 Release Notes
Network Application Platform
The Junos Space Network Application Platform provides the essential tools the network administrator needs for automating network operations, including device discovery and management, topology visualization,deploying deviceimages, job operationmanagement, user account management, audit logging, and network administration. Network administration tasks include managing the Junos Space fabric (comprising one or more IP-connected nodes), database, licenses, applications, upgrades, tags, and troubleshooting.
New Features
The Junos Space Network Application Platform includes the following new features:
•
(Administration) Junos Space 2.0 Upgrade—The Junos Space 2.0 software is bundled with Service Now and Service Insight. Junos Space 2.0 Hot-pluggable applications include:
•
Ethernet Design
•
Network Activate
•
QoS Design
•
Security Design
•
Virtual Control
To upgrade to the Junos Space version 2.0 software from version 1.3 or 1.4, use the Platform > Administration > Manage Applications Upgrade Platform action.
•
(Scripts) Compare Script Versions—Junos Space enables you to compare two scripts and view the differences in their content. You can compare two different scripts or two versions of the same script. Different colors are used to indicate differences between the compared scripts.
•
(Scripts) Automatic selection of the latest scripts—Junos Space automatically picks the latest version of a script for deploying, verifying, enabling, disabling, and executing a script on devices. While the Manage Scripts page displays multiple versions of the same script, only the latest version of the script is picked even when you select an older version of the script.
•
(Devices) Support for WW Junos OS Devices—The Junos Space wwadapter lets you use Junos Space to manage devices running the world wide version of Junos OS. These devices use Telnet protocol instead of Secure Shell protocol (SSHv2) for communication. The wwadapter acts as a medium between Junos Space and the device.
•
(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

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 createsthe template definition and assigns the networkoperator to deploy the template.
•
(Users) CreateUser-Defined Role—Add one or more application workspace tasks per user-defined role using Platform > Users > Manage Roles > Create Role.
•
(Administration) Different Back Up Database Location—The database back up location has changed from var/lib/mysql/backup to /var/cache/jboss/backup. To back up the Junos Space database, use Platform > Manage Databases > Backup Database.
•
Administration) Configure New Application Settings—Use the Platform > Administration> Manage Applications > Modify Application Settings action to configure the following setting. The look and feel of the Application Settings page has changed to a paged design instead of a dialog box.
•
Allow users to auto log in to devices using SSH—Allows users to automatically log in when starting an SSH connection on a device. The default, not selected, indicates that you have to add your credentials to log in to a device using SSH.
•
Junos Space initiates connection to device—Specifies connections between Junos Space and managed devices. If selected, Junos Space initiate connection with devices instead of the default behavior of device initiating connection.
•
SSH port 22 for device connection—Specifiesthe SSH port on the device. Junos Space uses this port to discover devices. The default value, 22, is the standard SSH server port.
•
(Administration Network Activate Application Settings—Using the Platform > Administration > Manage Applications Modify Application Settings action, you can modify Network Activate application settings.
•
(Administration) Shutdown or Reboot a Fabric Node—From Junos Space, the super administrator or system administratorcan shut down or reboot fabric nodes (appliances or virtual machine hosts) when moved or network settings reconfigured. Use the Platform > Administration > Manage Fabric > Shut Down Node action. You can also type an optional message for administrators logged in to an affected node.
•
(Administration) Changing Node Network Settings—Using Platform> Administration > Manage Fabric > Network Settings, you can change the following network settings:
•
VIP

Junos Space 2.0 Release Notes
Known Issues
The following issues are known in Junos Space release 2.0:
•
If you modify the device management interface gateway from \ JMP_SETUP > -2(set routing), the Network Setting still display the old Value. It displays the correct IP value after you reboot the node. (PR 59885)
•
Dynamic notification does not work for Service Now customers with Partner License. It works only for connected member in the Organization inventory page. (PR 526175)
•
The Platform > Manage Applications upload process does not display an error message if it is interrupted. (PR 545034)
•
The SSH connection state between Junos Space and a device still exists after automatic logout of the system occurs for an idle user. (PR 554372)
•
On the Administration > Manage Fabric inventory page in tabular view,the cursor focus in the Console Message text box disappears and the text you are typing is not displayed if you type continuously in Console Message text box for approximately 20 seconds. Click in the Console Message text box to continue typing. (PR 551594)
•
For a Junos Space initiated connection, the Platform > Manage Devices inventory page fails to switch to the new master Routing Engine on the dual Routing Engine on a JUNOS OS device. (PR 563648)
•
Modifying a custom role sometimes does not show the task tree. Click Cancel, then modify the role again. (PR 564018)
•
When you add a new node to a prime node fabric to which an upgraded version of WW Junos OS adapter has already been deployed, Junos Space does not automatically deploy the adapter to the new node. As a workaround, delete the adapter from the prime node before you add a new node to the fabric. After you add the new node, you can deploy the WW Junos OS adapter to both the nodes on the fabric. (PR 565798])
•
(Device Templates RCT Version) The template validation/deployment error messages are ambiguous and will be improved. (PR 564379)
•
(Device Templates RCT Version) When you create a template definition, do not enter a lengthy description for a table or its label field. If the description occupies 3 or more lines of the Specify Default Values for Configuration Parameters page header, any message triggered by your input on that page would be below the visible part of the screen, for example the “Do you want to save this draft before you leave this page?” message that requires clicking a Yes or a No button. (PR 564751)
•
(Device Templates RCT Version) Search results are under construction and will be improved. (PR 564769)
•
(Device Templates RCT Version) When creating a template definition with an option of the ’choice’ data type, be sure to complete all your settings on the tabs and click Next before you go on to another Configuration page in the Selected Configuration Layout panel. If you need to return to another page, click Back. (PR 565072)
