Netbox
Netbox is a DCIM (DataCenter Infrastructure Manager) capable of managing inventory of Sites, Racks, Devices, Ports etc...
In our case we use Netbox to store information about utilization of physical interfaces.
There are some strong assumptions that we make:
- all the nodes have a fixed configuration that does not change often over time
- the only point where operators can allocate interfaces is GAP.
- we do not manage the legacy Juniper network
Network hardware
The new routers have a static hardware configuration which is dependant from the TIER. The following table summarize it:
Tier | Chassis | Control plane | Switching fabric | Linecard |
---|---|---|---|---|
Tier1 | SR7s | 2x CPM2-s | 4x SFM7-s | 2x XCM2 - 2x XMA2-s (36p QSFPDD) |
Tier2 | SR7s | 2x CPM2-s | 4x SFM7-s | 2x XCM2 - 2x XMA2-s (36p QSFPDD) |
Tier3 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
Tier4 | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
