Automated WAN: Device Management—Onboarding Workflow Design and Automation

0:02 [Music]

0:06 hi I'm here to show you a quick

0:08 demonstration of how we design an

0:10 automated device onboarding workflow

0:13 using device life cycle management a

0:15 juniper Paragon automation use case

0:18 device life cycle management is

0:20 typically performed manually with some

0:22 security and Assurance checks until

0:25 recently the process has not been

0:27 automated and the lack of automated

0:29 oversight

0:30 has led to costly errors and

0:32 unacceptable times to market for

0:34 Communication service providers to

0:37 ensure secure fast and consistent

0:40 deployment at scale operators need to

0:43 reimagine their device life cycle

0:45 management and planned work processes

0:47 with automation so let's dive into it

0:50 starting with simple elegant and

0:52 efficient orchestrated design of the

0:55 device onboarding process Paragon

0:58 automation's device onboarding

1:00 orchestration leverages an intent-based

1:03 model that describes a profile for every

1:06 Network device type service providers

1:09 typically have a set of roles that

1:11 devices play in the network by modeling

1:15 these roles we can ensure the intent of

1:17 device configurations are met the user

1:19 can create a profile for PE routers

1:22 aggregation switches peering Edge

1:25 routers core routers and others designed

1:28 for their unique purpos

1:30 and network connections the user

1:32 specifies whether Isis or ospf is being

1:37 used or ldp versus

1:40 RSVP other items defined in the device

1:43 profiles are Vendor model and

1:46 application type PE

1:48 router the user can specify their

1:50 organization's processes and

1:52 configuration policies for that device

1:55 type having these intent-based device

1:58 policies help helps ensure consistency

2:01 each and every time for the onboarding

2:04 of all device types the device

2:07 onboarding orchestration allows all

2:09 these details to be set up with an

2:11 intent-based profile for a specific set

2:14 of devices and interfaces after

2:16 specifying the devices and interfaces

2:19 this day one intent specification helps

2:22 the user set a plan for the network

2:26 implementation specifying a device

2:28 onboarding Network implement mentation

2:30 plan through Paragon automation improves

2:33 consistency by ensuring that

2:35 configurations are done right the first

2:38 time every

2:39 time the user can specify intents within

2:43 the device onboarding orchestration to

2:45 guide field technicians as they install

2:48 and configure the devices field

2:51 technicians can receive guidance on

2:53 device interfaces IP addresses core or

2:56 network interface profiles and the type

2:59 of plug needed for each interface the

3:02 intent plan also drives day2

3:05 observability which enables the operator

3:07 to not have to think about what to

3:09 monitor since it is simply derived from

3:12 the intent plan Paragon automation has

3:16 an easyto use physical device topology

3:19 where users can specify link sources and

3:22 destinations including the link name

3:25 with each endpoint's device name site

3:28 required interface and connection

3:31 instructions Paragon automation then

3:33 orchestrates a configuration

3:36 automatically that specifies all the

3:38 device onboarding Network implementation

3:41 details needed to guide the field

3:43 technicians this automates the

3:45 onboarding process and provides

3:47 intuitive guidance delivered to the

3:49 field technician's smartphone web

3:52 application the automation sets up

3:54 checks that validate hardware and

3:56 software authenticity sets the software

3:59 image and and configuration to install

4:01 the new devices being onboarded outlines

4:04 the zero touch configuration and

4:06 provisioning for all devices in the plan

4:10 and sets up Telemetry for monitoring

4:12 device health and network performance it

4:16 also updates inventory which ensures

4:19 devices are fully ready for service with

4:21 Paragon automation you can enable device

4:24 life cycle management and adopt a single

4:27 source of Truth for device and

4:29 configuration management as well as

4:32 prevent detect and correct faults in a

4:35 timely manner by monitoring the network

4:38 continuously device life cycle

4:40 management can accelerate onboarding and

4:42 minimizes time to Market by executing

4:45 complex configurations on thousands of

4:48 devices automatically it enables

4:51 real-time monitoring that minimizes

4:53 meantime to repair all through Juniper
