Junos Space JA1500 Appliance Overview
The Junos Space JA1500 appliance is a Juniper Networks, dedicated, physical, hardware
device that is engineered to provide the computing power and specific requirements
needed to install and run the Junos Space application. The JA1500 appliance all-in-one
design makes the Junos Space application deployment simpler by giving administrators
a turnkey solution. You can power up a the JA1500 appliance, make required configuration
changes, then start using the Junos Space application without concerning yourself with
hardware and OS and application installation. (See Figure 1 on page 3).
Figure 1: Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
The JA1500 appliance allows administrators to migrate from a strategy of one large
server in the corner, to distribute multiple servers based on load and geography. You can
combine Junos Space appliances in clusters for high availability or increased throughput.
The JA1500 appliance ensures that consistent infrastructure is deployed across an
organization, reducing complexity. The JA1500 appliance means that only one
vendor—Juniper Networks—supports integrated components reducing complexity.
The administrator can also deploy and run the Junos Space application as a virtual
appliance. The administrator can combine Junos Space appliances in clusters for high
availabilityor increased throughput. The administratorcan create a fabric of Junos Space
appliances, Junos Space virtual appliances, or a combination of both appliances and
virtual appliances.
The Junos Space application, running on a JA1500 appliance, is a comprehensive platform
for building and deploying applications for collaboration, productivity, and network
infrastructure and operations management. The Junos Space application provides a
runtime environment implemented as a fabric of virtual and physical appliances.
The Junos Space Network Application Platform (Platform) provides effective tools for
automating network operations, including device discovery and management, topology
visualization, device image deployment, job management, audit logging, user
administration,and systemadministration.Systemadministration tasks include managing
the Junos Space fabric which comprises one or more IP-connected nodes, database,
licenses, applications, troubleshooting, and tagging.
Junos Space applications:
•
Allowservice providers deliver secure connectivity services (SCS) over an MPLS network
to their customers.
•
Automatically detect problems on Juniper Networks devices running Junos and scripts
and proactively collects the troubleshooting information needed to diagnose and fix
the issue. Service Now allows operational personnel to open technical support cases
with JTAC. JTAC resolves cases and provides the customer proactive information to
minimize future problems.
•
Allow network engineers to provide enterprise services like break, fix, and truck roll of
networking gear and to quickly deploy networking gear in large number of branch
offices accurately and easily.
•
Allow security designers to design and provision the security aspect of the network
and enable large enterprise customers to rapidly deploy firewalls and VPNs.
Other proprietary, OEM, and third-party application will be developed in subsequent
Junos Space releases.
The Junos Space Platform > Administration > Manage Application workspace allows
the administrator add, upgrade, and delete applications.

Understanding How Nodes Are Connected in a Fabric
Each Junos Space appliance (physical or virtual) that you install and configure is
represented as a single node in the fabric. You can add nodes without disrupting the
services that are running on the fabric. When you install and configure the first appliance,
Junos Space automatically creates a fabric with one node. For each additional appliance
you install and configure, you must add a node to logically represent the appliance in the
fabric. Youadd nodes to the fabric from the Administration workspace in the Junos Space
user interface. Each node that you add to the fabric increases the resource pool for the
node functions to meet the scalability and availability requirements of your network. By
default, Junos Space automatically enables node functionality across the nodes in the
fabric to distribute workload.The nodes in the fabric work together to provide a virtualized
resource pool for each of the node functions: load balancer, database, and application
logic.
In a fabric comprising two or more nodes, Junos Space provides failover when a node
functioning as the active server (load balancer server or database server) goes down. By
default, Junos Space marks a particular node down and routes failover requests to the
node that Junos Space designates as standby server. Junos Space uses a heartbeat
mechanism to check whether the nodes in the fabric are running. When a node functioning
as the active server fails (the appliance crashes or stops sending heartbeats), the node
functioning as the standby server takes over all resources that were managed by the
node functioning as active server. Nodes in a Junos Space fabric rely on IP multicast
messagesto discover each other, thereforeensure that IP multicast packets are reachable
among all nodes in the Junos Space fabric.
Related
Documentation
To add, manage, and monitor the nodes in the fabric, a Junos Space user connects to a
single Web IP address. The IP address of first (active) node and second (standby) node,
and the Web (virtual) IP address must all be in the same subnet. The Web IP address
must work on both the first and second node in the fabric. When both nodes are in same
subnet, and the first (active) node goes down, the second (standby) node becomes the
active node and packets continue to be directed from the router to the Junos Space Web
IP address, and then to the second node. However, if the second (standby) node is
configuredin a different subnet from the first (active) node, and the first node goes down,
the second node becomes the active node, but because the Web IP address now points
to a different subnet address, packets originally destined for first node will not be received
by the second node.
To ensure consistent behavior among all nodes in a multinode fabric, each node’s time
must be synchronized with every other node in the fabric. When you configure each Junos
Space JA1500 appliance with an NTP server, you ensure that, if the first node (which is
used to synchronize time for all nodes in the fabric) goes down, all other nodes in the
fabric remain synchronized. To ensure this behavior, all nodes in a fabric must use the
same external NTP source that you configure for the first appliance.
NOTE: By default, Junos Space translates time so that the time displayed in
the user interface corresponds to Junos Space server time, but is mapped to
the local time zone of your client computer.
The default system clock for a JA1500 appliance may not be precise enough for some
networks. To ensure time synchronization across all nodes in the fabric, Juniper strongly
recommends that you use the following guidelines:
Chapter 1: Overview of the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
•
Add an NTP server to the first virtual appliance during initial setup.
•
For each additional appliance, add the same NTP server that you specified for the first
appliance.

Fabric Management Overview
You can deploy Junos Space appliances to create a fabric that provides the scalability
and availability that your managed network requires as you add more devices, services,
and users.
A Junos Space fabric comprises one or more IP-connected nodes. A node is a logical
object that represents a single Junos Space JA1500 appliance or Junos Space virtual
appliance, its operating system, and the Junos Space software that runs on the operating
system. Each Junos Space appliance or virtual appliance that you install and configure
is represented as a single node in the fabric. You can add nodes without disrupting the
services that are running on the fabric. When you add nodes to the fabric, you can manage
and monitor the nodes from the Administrationworkspace. To add, manage, and monitor
NOTE: You must add the NTP server before you add the first node to the
nodes in the fabric, a fabric administrator connects to a single virtual IP address. See
Figure 5 on page 10
Figure 5: AdministratorConnects to a Single Virtual IP Address to Manage
Fabric Nodes
Single Node Functionality
When the fabric comprises a single appliance, all devices in the managed network connect
to the appliance. When you install and configure the first appliance, Junos Space
automatically creates a fabric with one node. By default, a fabric that consists of a single
node provides complete Junos Space management functionality. The following node
functions are enabled for the node:
•
Load Balancer— for processing HTTP requests from remote browsers and NBI clients
•
Database— for processing database requests (create, read, update, and delete
operations)
•
Application Logic— for processing Junos Space service requests and Data Manipulation
Language (DML) workload (device connectivity, device events, and logging)
NOTE: A fabric that comprises a single node provides no workload balancing
As your network expands with new devices, services, and users, you can add Junos Space
appliances to handle the increased workload. When you install and configure the first
appliance, Junos Space automatically creates a fabric with one node. For each additional
appliance you install and configure, you must add a node to logically represent the
appliance in the fabric. Each node that you add to the fabric increases the resource pool
for the node functions to meet the scalability and availability requirements of your network.
By default, Junos Space automatically enables node functionality across the nodes in
the fabric to distribute workload. The nodes in the fabric work together to provide a
virtualized resource pool for each of the node functions: load balancer, database, and
application logic.
The Junos Space node functions distribute workload across operating nodes according
to the following load-distribution rules:
•
Chapter 1: Overview of the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
LoadBalancer—When a node that functions as the active load balancer server is down,
all HTTP requests are automatically routed to the standby load balancer server that
is running on a separate node.
•
Database— When a node that functions as the active database server is down, all
database requests (create, read, update, and delete) are routed to the node that
functions as the standby database server.
•
Application Logic— Device connections and user requests are distributed among the
nodes, and device-related operations are routed to the node to which the device is
connected.
Junos Space uses the following algorithm to ensure that the number of devices
connected to a node does not exceed the threshold limit for each node:
Threshold Limit = [ (number of devices in database) / (number of nodes running) ] + 2
The following workflow describes how the node functions are enabled across the fabric
as nodes are added:
•
First node: The load balancer, database, and application logic functions are enabled
on the node. Each node function provides both scalability and high availability. Figure
6 on page 11 shows all functions enabled on a fabric comprising one node.
Figure 6: Functions Enabled on Fabric Containing One Node
Second node: When a second node is added to the fabric, the first node functions as
the active load balancer server and active database server, and the second node
functions as the standby load balancer server and standby database server. The load
balancer and application logic node functions provide scalability and high availability.
The database node function on the second node provides high availability only. Figure
7 on page 12 shows the functions enabled on a fabric comprising two nodes.
Figure 7: Functions Enabled on Fabric Containing Two Nodes
•
Third and subsequent nodes: Only the application logic functionality is enabled on the
third node to provide equal distribution of device connections and user requests across
all nodes, and to route device-related operations to the node to which the device is
connected. The application logic functionality provides both scalability and high
availability. Figure 8 on page 12 shows the functions enabled on a fabric comprising
three nodes.
Figure 8: Functions Enabled on Fabric Containing Three Nodes
NOTE: For the third node and each subsequent node added to the fabric,
only the application logic functionality is enabled.
In a fabric comprising two or more nodes, Junos Space provides failover when a node
functioning as the active server (load balancer server or database server) goes down. By
default, Junos Space marks a particular node down and routes failover requests to the
node that Junos Space designates as standby server. Junos Space uses a heartbeat
mechanism to check whether the nodes in the fabric are running. When a node functioning
as the active server fails (the appliance physically crashes or stops sending heartbeats),
the node functioning as the standby server takes over all resources that were managed
by the node functioning as the active server.

strength
Guidelines
Use a front-mount rack, four-post rack (telco), or a center-mount rack.Rack type
•
Ensure that the rack complies with one of these standards:
•
A 19-in. rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated
Equipment (document number EIA-310–D) published by the Electronics
Industry Association (http://www.eia.org).
•
A 600-mm rack as defined in the four-part Equipment Engineering
(EE); European telecommunications standard for equipment practice
(document numbers ETS 300 119-1 through 119-4) published by the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute
(http://www.etsi.org).
The horizontal spacing between the rails in a rack that complies with
this standard is wider than the appliance’s mounting brackets, which
measure 19 in. (48.2 cm) from outer edge to outer edge. Use approved
wing devices to narrow the opening between the rails as required.
•
Ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allow for the proper
clearance around the appliance and rack.
One pair of mounting brackets is supplied with the appliance. The holes in the mounting
brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.445 cm), so the appliance can be mounted in any
rack that provides holes spaced at that distance.
The outer edges of the mounting brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2
cm), and the front of the chassis extends approximately 0.5 in. (1.27 cm) beyond the
mounting brackets. The spacing of rails and adjacent racks must also allow for the
clearances around the appliance and rack.
Guidelines
•
Secure the rack to the building structure.
•
If earthquakes are a possibility in your geographical area, secure the rack
to the floor.
•
Secure the rack to the ceiling brackets as well as wall or floor brackets if
maximum stability is required.

Fire Safety Requirements for the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
In the event of a fire emergency involving switches and other network equipment, the
safety of people is the primary concern. You should establish procedures for protecting
people in the event of a fire emergency, provide safety training, and properly provision
fire-control equipment and fire extinguishers.
In addition, you should establish procedures to protect your equipment in the event of a
fire emergency.Juniper Networks products should be installed in an environment suitable
for electronic equipment. We recommend that fire suppression equipment be available
in the event of a fire in the vicinity of the equipment, and that all local fire, safety, and
electrical codes and ordinances be observed when installing and operating your

Fire Suppression
In the event of an electrical hazard or an electrical fire, you should first turn power off to
the equipment at the source. Then use a Type C fire extinguisher, which uses noncorrosive
fire retardants, to extinguish the fire.
Fire Suppression Equipment
Type C fire extinguishers, which use noncorrosive fire retardants such as carbon dioxide
and Halotron™, are most effective for suppressing electrical fires. Type C fire extinguishers
displace oxygen from the point of combustion to eliminate the fire. For extinguishing fire
on or around equipment that draws air from the environment for cooling, you should use
this type of inert oxygen displacement extinguisher instead of an extinguisher that leaves
residues on equipment.
Do not use multipurpose Type ABC chemical fire extinguishers (dry chemical fire
extinguishers). The primary ingredient in these fire extinguishers is monoammonium
Chapter 3: Safety and Compliance for the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
phosphate,which is very sticky and difficult to clean. In addition, in the presence of minute
amounts of moisture, monoammonium phosphate can become highly corrosive and
corrodes most metals.
Any equipment in a room in which a chemical fire extinguisher has been discharged is
subject to premature failure and unreliable operation. The equipment is considered to
be irreparably damaged.
NOTE: To keep warranties effective, do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher
to control a fire at or near a Juniper Networks appliance. If a dry chemical fire
extinguisher is used, the unit is no longer eligible for coverage under a service
agreement.
We recommend that you dispose of any irreparably damaged equipment in an
environmentally responsible manner.

Booting and Configuring the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance from a USB Drive
This procedure shows you how to reset a Junos Space appliance to its factory settings
by using a standard USB 2.0 drive.
This process has three main steps:
1. Copying an ISO image onto the key
2. Ensuring that the appliance’s basic input/output system (BIOS) boots from the key
instead of the disk
3. Running the reinstallation procedure
To reset an appliance to the factory settings from a USB drive:
1. Plug the USB drive into the USB port of a device, such as a laptop or PC, that is
connected to the Internet.
NOTE: For images up to Release 11.2, you can use a USB drive with 2 GB
of free space. However, for Releases 11.4 and later, you must use a USB
drive with at least 4 GB of free space.
2. Using a Web browser, navigate to the Juniper Networks Junos Space software
download site (http://www.juniper.net/support/products/space/), and click Image for
hardware Appliance to download the Junos Space USB bootable image.
The name of the downloaded image will be space-< version >.< spinnumber >.img.
For example, space-11.1R1.1.img
3. Convert and copy the ISO image to the USB drive.
Chapter 4: Installing the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
You can copy the ISO image to the USB drive in two ways:
•
Using Win32 Disk Imager software (for Windows users)
To create a bootable USB drive using the Win32 Disk Imager software, follow these
steps:
a. Open the Win32. Disk Imager software to copy the Junos Space ISO image file
to your USB drive. The Win32 Disk Imager dialog box appears.
(You can download the Win32 Disk Imager software for free from
https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer .)
b. Click the browse icon and select the image file that you want to copy to the USB
drive.
c. Verify that the device drive letter matches the chosen USB drive, and click Write.
After creating the USB drive, you need to set up the device (laptop or PC) and
Junos Space appliance to accept the USB drive as the reinstall media. For this,
the BIOS menu of the appliance needs to be modified. You can modify the BIOS
menu by creating a serial connection between the device (laptop or PC) and the
Junos Space appliance. Togain access to the BIOS menu, you must use a terminal
application (such as Putty, Hyperterm, or SecureCRT) to send a DEL character
to the Junos Space appliance as soon as it powers on.
The terminal application maps every keyboard key to a code that it sends through
the serial cable. Typically, pressing the Delete key on a PC keyboard does not
send a DEL character.
To ensure that the terminal application maps a key to the DEL character, go to
the settings dialog box of the application and select the Backspace Key sends
DEL option. After you make this modification, you must ensure that the connection
is opened with the typical serial parameters of 9600, 8, none, 1, and none.
•
Using the dd program in Linux
You can also use Linux distributions to create a bootable USB drive. You do not
need a PC for this procedure.
To create a bootable USB drive using Linux distributions:
a. While you can use any of the available conversion tools, we recommend using
the dd program in Linux to convert the ISO image.
In a CLI window, enter the following command at the CLI prompt to convert and
copy the ISO image:
dd if= space-< version >.< spinnumber >.img of=/dev/sdb
where
space-< version >.< spinnumber >.img is the name of the downloaded image.
/dev/sdb is the name of the device drive into which your USB drive is plugged..
b. Press the Enter key to copy the ISO image to the USB drive.
4. After you copy the ISO image to the USB drive, remove the USB drive from the device
and plug it into the USB port of the Junos Space JA1500 appliance.
5. Power on the appliance. The boot menu appears.
6. After about one minute, the BIOS menu appears.
NOTE: If the hard disk LEDs begin to flash at this point for more than a
few seconds, the appliance is booting from disk instead of the USB drive
and is not loading the BIOS menu.
7. Ensure that the USB boot is at the top of the appliance boot priority order.
By default, the boot order in the BIOS of the appliance prevents it from booting from
a USB drive. However,you can access the menu and change the boot order by sending
the DEL character three times as soon as you power on the appliance.
Press the DEL key three times as soon as the appliance powers on. The BIOS setup
appears and displays the appliance boot priority order:
Boot priority order:
1: USB KEY: CBM USB 2.0-(USB 2.0)
2: PCI SCSI: ASR-5405 PCI-E RAID
3: PCI BEV: IBA GE Slot 0B00 v1240
4: USB CDROM
5: ALL USB KEY
6: All USB CDROM
7: CF Card:
8: SATA Port 1:
If USB KEY:CBM USB 2.0- (USB 2.0) is not at the top of the list, use the down arrow
to select it and the <+> key to move it to the top of the list. Press the F10 key to save
your changes and exit the BIOS setup.
8. After you have confirmed the BIOS setting, power off the appliance.
9. Power on the appliance again. The boot prompt displays the following menu:
To enter rescue mode, type rescue-serial < ENTER >
or rescue-kvm < ENTER >
To boot from local type:
local < ENTER >
To reinstall type:
reinstall < ENTER >
boot:
Type reinstall and press the Enter key at the boot prompt to install the ISO image
from the USB drive.
If no input is provided, the appliance boots from the local disk by default.
After completing the installation, the appliance powers down. The reinstallation
process should take 30 to 60 minutes
Chapter 4: Installing the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
WARNING: This procedure overwrites your hard disk drive with a new
factory default Junos Space installation. No trace of the previous
installation or configuration shall remain. If you do not want to erase your
system, power off the device immediately.
10. The next time you power on the appliance, it boots with the Junos Space version you
have selected, and eventually prompts you for the default username (super) and
password (juniper123).
NOTE: Do not remove the USB drive until the reinstallation procedure is
complete and the appliance is powered off.

Understanding How Junos Space Uses Ethernet Interfaces eth0 and eth3
Junos Space is designed to perform best using only eth0 if the managed devices are
routable, using in-bound management. Use eth3 for a device management subnet if the
managed devices are non-routable or on an out-of-band management subnet.
Table 10 on page 44 describes how Junos Space interfaces intentionally function:
Table 10: How Junos Space IP Addresses Function
Function/Interface
SSH and device management if eth3 is not configured (node IP)eth0
GUI interface with an instance of JBOSS running (GUI)eth0:0
Not supportedeth1
Not supportedeth2
eth3
Device management when managed devices are on a subnet and not reachable
by way of eth0.
Junos Space uses eth0 and eth3 interfaces as follows:
•
Secure Shell Daemon (sshd) is listening on all IP addresses.
•
The web interface is only on the VIP, the same subnet as eth0.
•
Device management, outbound (discover) and inbound (post-discovery), including
syslog and DMI, should be eth3, or eth0 if eth3 is not configured.

Setting the System Time
When you configure each Junos Space appliance or virtual appliance with an NTP server,
you ensure that, if the first node (which is used to synchronize time for all nodes in the
fabric) goes down, all other nodes in the fabric remain synchronized. To ensure this
behavior, all nodes in a fabric must use the same external NTP source that you configure
for the first appliance.
Chapter 5: Configuring the Junos Space JA1500 Appliance
NOTE: When an NTP server is enabled on the first node in the cluster, all
other nodes are synchronized with the NTP server time. However to ensure
time synchronization across all nodes in a fabric in the event of failover, all
nodes in a fabric should be configured using the same NTP server.
To change time options for an appliance:
1. From the Junos Space Appliance Settings menu, enter 4 at the prompt.
2. Enter 2 to set NTP servers.
NTP servers automatically set the system clock based on external time sources.

•
Adding a Node in the Fabric
You can deploy one or more Junos Space appliances or virtual appliances to create a
scalable fabric. As the number of devices on your network expands, you can add nodes
to the fabric to manage the increased workload. Each Junos Space appliance and virtual
appliance that runs the complete Junos Space software is represented as a single node
in the fabric. By default, the Junos Space fabric contains a single node that provides
complete Junos Space management functionality. Junos Space automatically adds the
first node to the fabric and uses the logical node name that you assign to the appliance
or virtual appliance when you configure the first appliance (node) in a cluster (fabric).
For each additional appliance or virtual appliance you deploy, you must add the node in
Junos Space to represent the appliance or virtual appliance in the fabric.
Before you add a node to the fabric, you must ensure the following:
•
The new node must be configured to be added to an existing cluster. See Configuring
an Appliance to Add to an Existing Cluster for more details.
•
The ETH0 IP address on the first and second nodes and the virtual IP (VIP) address
for the fabric must be in the same subnet.
•
You must be able to route multicast packets through all nodes in the fabric.
•
You must configure the same Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers on all nodes in
the fabric.
•
You must ensure that all nodes are running the same software release version.
•
If the new node is a virtual appliance, you must ensure that the first and second nodes
are hosted on two separate VMware ESX servers to ensure failover support.
The node is added to the fabric and appears in the Junos Space user interface and
database. When you add a node, the node functions are automatically assigned by
Junos Space. By default, the first and second nodes added to a fabric perform all the
following functions:
•
Database— for processing database requests (create, read, update, and delete
operations)
•
Load Balancer— for processing HTTP requests from remote browsers and NBI
clients
•
Application Logic— for processing back-end business logic (Junos Space service
requests) and data manipulation language (DML) workload (device connectivity,
device events, and logging)
By default, the third node, and all subsequent nodes, added to a fabric perform only
the Application Logic function.
