AI-Driven Campus Fabric Walkthrough
Simplify and automate your campus network.
Juniper’s AI-Driven Campus Fabric Management makes it easy to manage and deploy EVPN-VXLAN campus fabrics. In this video, you’ll explore the benefits of the cloud-native architecture for campus networks and see how it works in action.
You’ll learn
Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 aspects of campus fabric deployments
Cloud-based architecture for design, deployment, and operations
Configuring your EVPN topology
Who is this for?

00:00 this is the overview of ai driven campus
00:03 fabrics
00:04 with the juniper mist cloud
00:06 these cloud native architectures are
00:08 based on three concepts
00:10 design deployment and operations this
00:13 overview will cover day 0 day 1 and day
00:16 2 aspects of campus fabric deployments
00:19 and how juniper mist has automated this
00:22 process
00:23 every ex switch shipping today has a
00:25 unique claim code and this code can be
00:28 used to automatically onboard devices
00:30 directly to the juniper miss cloud
00:33 you can also use the missed ai app to
00:35 easily claim switches by scanning the qr
00:38 code and immediately onboarding your
00:40 device
00:42 once the devices are installed and
00:44 powered up you will automatically see
00:46 them in the switch's dashboard
00:50 once the devices are onboarded you can
00:52 now deploy the campus fabric with no
00:54 console cables needed
00:56 here are the steps involved first choose
00:59 the topology you want and assign device
01:01 roles
01:02 juniper sports various topologies
01:05 evpn multi-homing which is a two-tier
01:08 deployment
01:10 campus fabric with core distribution
01:13 or ip close
01:14 with the last two being three tier
01:16 architectures
01:18 so after we choose the topology and
01:19 assign device roles
01:21 examples are collapse core access core
01:25 distribution with access
01:27 step two is to configure the networks of
01:29 interest
01:30 step three
01:31 define the physical connectivity step
01:34 four apply the configuration and that's
01:36 all that is required
01:38 let's take a look at a simple example of
01:41 a campus fabric deployment we are
01:43 looking at a multi-homing campus fabric
01:45 topology with two collapsed cores
01:47 the ex4400 devices and an access switch
01:51 which is an ex4300
01:53 our network has four vlans employee
01:56 contractor guest and iot
01:58 we want the employing contractor to be
02:01 internal and be able to talk to each
02:03 other and the guests and iot will be
02:05 vrfs of their own
02:07 let's look how we would configure evpn
02:11 the first step is selecting the topology
02:13 in the ui
02:14 evpn multi-homing in this case
02:18 now we select the devices the two 4400s
02:21 which are set up for ztp
02:23 we will add the
02:24 ex2300 as part of the access
02:28 now let's configure the user networks
02:30 and add the four vlans
02:32 employee contractor guest and iot
02:36 the gateways are on these core devices
02:38 and will provide either dhcp or static
02:41 ip addresses
02:43 now segmentation
02:46 we associate employee and contractor to
02:48 internal resources and the other two
02:51 will be vrfs of their own
02:53 we need to allow communication between
02:55 the axis and core switches and make sure
02:57 the four vlans are allowed the rest is
03:00 done automatically including the mtu
03:03 which is automatically set
03:05 the last part is how the devices are
03:07 physically connected
03:10 how are the cores connected to each
03:12 other
03:13 and how are the cores connected to the
03:15 access switches
03:17 we use esi lag
03:19 now just select two uplinks connected to
03:21 the core devices
03:24 we are done and we'll confirm
03:26 now all of our evpn changes are done and
03:29 saved to the cloud
03:31 now we look at marvis actions which is
03:34 really the morning coffee view of the
03:35 network
03:37 showing the important issues that you
03:39 the administrator should be looking at
03:42 across
03:44 1127 devices and 55 000 ports
03:48 marvis actions has detected 25 bad
03:50 cables showing the exact port and site
03:53 details two negotiation mismatches
03:56 four devices experiencing continuous
03:59 port flaps
04:00 we also show you persistently failing
04:02 clients
04:04 if a client is continuously failing
04:06 authentication it could slow down your
04:07 network and your radius server
04:10 marvin's actions is designed to show you
04:12 ai verified problems that you can either
04:15 solve or let marvis open a ticket for
04:17 you with all of the relevant information
