  • Feature Summary 
    This feature is about a Cloudstack network-element plugin(called Juniper NetworkGuru plugin) to automatically orchestrate Juniper's switches to provide tenant isolation. As a first-cut, we are purely focussing on L2 services. When Isolated networks are created from Cloudstack and allocated VLAN, the same VLANs need to be propagated to the switches as well, so that when a VLAN-tagged packet arrives on a switch-port, the switch know which ports to flood the packet.
    The Juniper NetworkGuru Plugin can orchestrate Juniper's switches using one of the following mechanisms:
    • directly using NETCONF;
    • functioning as a REST client to Juniper's Orchestration API(ver 1.5) called NetworkDirectorAPI;

      To figure out which switch-ports are connected to the hypervisor hosts, the plugin uses one of the following mechanisms(based on user specification):
    • LLDP information on the switches;
    • user has to manually specify the traffic-label to switch-port mapping;
