Junos Node Slicing Overview

Junos Node Slicing enables service providers and large enterprises to create a network
infrastructure that consolidates multiple routing functions into a single physical device.
It helps leverage the benefits of virtualization without compromising on performance. In
particular, Junos Node Slicing enables the convergence of multiple services on a single
physical infrastructure while avoiding the operational complexity involved. It provides
operational, functional, and administrative separation of functions on a single physical
infrastructure that enables the network to implement the same virtualization principles
the compute industry has been using for years.

Using Junos Node Slicing, you can create multiple partitions in a single physical MX Series
router. These partitions are referred to as guest network functions (GNFs). Each GNF
behaves as an independent router, with its own dedicated control plane, data plane, and
management plane. This enables you to run multiple services on a single converged MX
Series router, while still maintaining operational isolation between them. You can leverage
the same physical device to create parallel partitions that do not share the control plane
or the forwarding plane, but only share the same chassis, space, and power.

You can also send traffic between GNFs through the switch fabric by using an Abstracted
Fabric (AF) interface, a pseudo interface that behaves as a first class Ethernet interface.
An AF interface facilitates routing control, data and management traffic between GNFs.

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

Benefits of Junos Node Slicing

• Converged network—With Junos Node Slicing, service providers can consolidate
multiple network services, such as video edge and voice edge, into a single physical
router, while still maintaining operational separation between them. You can achieve
both horizontal and vertical convergence. Horizontal convergence consolidates router
functions of the same layer to a single router, while vertical convergence collapses
router functions of different layers into a single router.

• Improved scalability—Focusing on virtual routing partitions, instead of physical devices,

improves the programmability and scalability of the network, enabling service providers
and enterprises to respond to infrastructure requirements without having to buy
additional hardware.

• Easy risk management—Though multiple network functions converge on a single

chassis, all the functions run independently, benefiting from operational, functional,
and administrative separation. Partitioning a physical system, such as Broadband
Network Gateway (BNG), into multiple independent logical instances ensures that
failures are isolated. The partitions do not share the control plane or the forwarding
plane, but only share the same chassis, space, and power. This means failure in one
partition does not cause any widespread service outage.

• Reduced network costs—Junos Node Slicing enables interconnection of GNFs through

internal switching fabrics, which leverages Abstracted Fabric (AF) interface, a pseudo
interface that represents a first class Ethernet interface behavior. With AF interface in
place, companies no longer need to depend on physical interfaces to connect GNFs,
resulting in significant savings.

• Reduced time-to-market for new services and capabilities—Each GNF can operate
on a different Junos software version. This advantage enables companies to evolve
each GNF at its own pace. If a new service or a feature needs to be deployed on a
certain GNF, and it requires a new software release, only the GNF involved requires an
update. Additionally, with the increased agility, Junos Node Slicing enables service
providers and enterprises to introduce highly flexible Everything-as-a-service business
model to rapidly respond to ever-changing market conditions.

Components of Junos Node Slicing

Junos Node Slicing allows a single MX Series router to be partitioned to appear as multiple,
independent routers. Each partition has its own Junos OS control plane, which runs as a
virtual machine (VM), and a dedicated set of line cards. Each partition is called a guest
network function (GNF).

The MX Series router functions as the base system (BSYS). The BSYS owns all the
physical components of the router, including the line cards and the switching fabric. The
BSYS assigns line cards to GNFs.

4 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 1: Junos Node Slicing Overview

The Juniper Device Manager (JDM) software orchestrates the GNF VMs. In JDM, a GNF
VM is referred to as a virtual network function (VNF). A GNF thus comprises a VNF and
a set of line cards.

JDM and VNFs are hosted on a pair of external industry standard x86 servers.

Through configuration at the BSYS, you can assign line cards of the chassis to different
GNFs. Figure 1 on page 5 shows three GNFs with their dedicated line cards running on
an external server.

Figure 1: GNFs on External Server

See “Setting Up the Connection Between Servers and the Router” on page 19 for
information about how to connect an MX Series router to a pair of external x86 servers.

Base System (BSYS)

In Junos Node Slicing, the MX Series router functions as the base system (BSYS). The
BSYS owns all the physical components of the router, including all line cards and fabric.
Through Junos OS configuration at the BSYS, you can assign line cards to GNFs and
define Abstracted Fabric (AF) interfaces between GNFs. The BSYS software runs on a
pair of redundant Routing Engines of the MX Series router.

Guest Network Function (GNF)

A guest network function (GNF) logically owns the line cards assigned to it by the base
system (BSYS), and maintains the forwarding state of the line cards. You can configure
multiple GNFs on an MX Series router (see “Configuring Guest Network Functions” on
page 35). The Junos OS control plane of each GNF runs as a virtual machine (VM). The
Juniper Device Manager (JDM) software, hosted on a pair of x86 servers, orchestrates
the GNF VMs. In the JDM, the GNFs are referred to as virtual network functions (VNF).

A GNF is equivalent to a standalone router. GNFs are configured and administered

independently, and are operationally isolated from each other.

Creating a GNF requires two sets of configurations, one to be performed at the BSYS,
and the other at the JDM.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 5

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

A GNF is defined by an ID. This ID must be the same at the BSYS and JDM.

The BSYS part of the GNF configuration comprises giving it an ID and a set of line cards.

The JDM part of the GNF configuration comprises specifying the following attributes:

• A VNF name.

• A GNF ID. This ID must be the same as the GNF ID used at the BSYS.

• The MX Series platform type.

• A Junos OS image to be used for the VNF.

• The VNF CPU and memory resource profile template.

The server resource template defines the number of dedicated CPU cores and the size
of DRAM to be assigned to a GNF. For a list of predefined server resource templates
available for GNFs, see the Server Hardware Resource Requirements (Per GNF) section
in “Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements for Junos Node Slicing” on page 15.

After a GNF is configured, you can access it by connecting to the virtual console port of
the GNF. Using the Junos OS CLI at the GNF, you can then configure the GNF system
properties such as hostname and management IP address, and subsequently access it
through its management port.

Juniper Device Manager (JDM)

The Juniper Device Manager (JDM), a virtualized Linux container, enables provisioning
and management of the GNF VMs.

JDM provides a Junos OS-like CLI and NETCONF interface for configuration and
management.

A JDM instance is hosted on each of the x86 servers. The JDM instances are typically
configured as peers that synchronize the GNF configurations: when a GNF VM is created
on one server, the backup GNF VM is automatically created on the other server.

An IP address and an administrator account need to be configured on the JDM. After

these are configured, you can directly log in to the JDM.

Junos Node Slicing Administrator Roles

The following administrator roles enable you to carry out the node slicing tasks:

• BSYS administrator—Responsible for the physical chassis, as well as for GNF

provisioning (assignment of line cards to GNFs). Junos OS CLI commands are available
for these tasks.

 Chapter 1: Junos Node Slicing Overview

• GNF administrator—Responsible for configuration, operation, and management of

Junos OS at the GNF. All regular Junos OS CLI commands are available to the GNF
administrator for these tasks.

• JDM administrator—Responsible for the JDM server port configuration, and for the
provisioning and life-cycle management of the GNF VMs (VNFs). JDM CLI commands
are available for these tasks.

Mastership Behavior of BSYS and GNF

The following sections address the mastership behavior of BSYS and GNF in the context
of Routing Engine redundancy.

Figure 2 on page 7 shows the mastership behavior of GNF and BSYS with Routing Engine
redundancy.

Figure 2: Mastership Behavior of GNF and BSYS

BSYS Mastership
The BSYS Routing Engine mastership arbitration behavior is identical to that of an MX
Series router.

GNF Mastership
The GNF VM mastership arbitration behavior is similar to that of MX Series Routing
Engines. Each GNF runs as a master-backup pair of VMs. A GNF VM that runs on server0
is equivalent to Routing Engine slot 0 of an MX Series router, and the GNF VM that runs
on server1 is equivalent to Routing Engine slot 1 of an MX Series router.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 7

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

The GNF mastership is independent of the BSYS mastership and that of other GNFs. The
GNF mastership arbitration is done through Junos OS. Under connectivity failure conditions,
GNF mastership is handled conservatively.

NOTE: You must configure graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) at

each GNF. This is a prerequisite for the backup GNF VM to automatically take
over the mastership when the master GNF VM fails or is rebooted.

Abstracted Fabric (AF) Interface

Abstracted fabric (AF) interface is a pseudo interface that represents a first class Ethernet
interface behavior. An AF interface facilitates routing control and management traffic
between guest network functions (GNFs) through the switch fabric. An AF interface is
created on a GNF to communicate with its peer GNF when the two GNFs are configured
to be connected to each other. AF interfaces must be created at BSYS. The bandwidth
of the AF interfaces changes dynamically based on the insertion or reachability of the
remote line card/MPC. Because the fabric is the communication medium between GNFs,
AFs are considered to be the equivalent WAN interfaces. See Figure 3 on page 8.

GNF1 GNF2

Understanding AF Bandwidth
An AF interface connects two GNFs through the fabric and aggregates all the Packet
Forwarding Engines (PFEs) that connect the two GNFs. An AF interface can leverage the
sum of the bandwidth of each Packet Forwarding Engine belonging to the AF interface.

For example, if GNF1 has one MPC8 (which has four Packet Forwarding Engines with
240 Gbps capacity each), and GNF1 is connected with GNF2 and GNF3 using AF interfaces
(af1 and af2), the maximum AF capacity of GNF1 would be 4x240 Gbps = 960 Gbps.

Here, af1 and af2 share the 960 Gbps capacity.

Features Supported on AF Interfaces

AF interfaces support the following features:

• Load balancing based on the remote GNF line cards present

• Class of service (CoS) support:

• Inet-precedence classifier and rewrite

• DSCP classifier and rewrite

• MPLS EXP classifier and rewrite

• DSCP v6 classifier and rewrite for IP v6 traffic

• Support for OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, OSPFv3 protocols, and L3VPN

NOTE: The non-AF interfaces support all the protocols that work on Junos
OS.

• Multicast forwarding

• Graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES)

• MPLS applications where the AF interface acts as a core interface (L3VPN, VPLS,
L2VPN, L2CKT, EVPN, and IP over MPLS)

• The following protocol families are supported:

• IPv4 Forwarding

• IPv6 Forwarding

• MPLS

• ISO

• CCC

• With the AF interface configuration, GNFs support the following AF-capable MPCs:

• MPC7E-MRATE

• MPC7E-10G

• MX2K-MPC8E

• MX2K-MPC9E

• MPC2E NG

• MPC2E NG Q

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 9

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

• MPC3E NG

• MPC3E NG Q

NOTE:
• A GNF that does not have the AF interface configuration supports all the
MPCs that are supported by a standalone MX Series router. For the list of
supported MPCs, see MPCs Supported by MX Series Routers.

• We recommend that you set the MTU settings on the AF interface to align
to the maximum allowed value on the XE/GE interfaces. This ensures
minimal or no fragmentation of packets over the AF interface.

AF Restrictions
The following are the current restrictions of AF interfaces:

• Configurations such as single endpoint AF interface, AF interface-to-GNF mapping

mismatch or multiple AF interfaces mapping to same remote GNF are not checked
during commit on the BSYS. Ensure that you have the correct configurations.

• Bandwidth allocation is static, based on the MPC type.

• AF interfaces do not support the Hyper mode.

• There can be minimal traffic drops (both transit and host) during the offline/restart
of an MPC hosted on a remote GNF.

Multi-Version Software Interoperability Overview

Starting from Junos OS Release 17.4R1, Junos Node Slicing supports multi-version software
compatibility, enabling the BSYS to interoperate with a guest network function (GNF)
which runs a Junos OS version that is higher than the software version of the BSYS. This
feature supports a range of up to two versions between GNF and BSYS. That is, the GNF
software can be two versions higher than the BSYS software. Both BSYS and GNF must
meet a minimum version requirement of Junos OS Release 17.4R1.

NOTE: The restrictions in multi-version support are also applicable to the

unified ISSU upgrade process.

While JDM software versioning does not have a similar restriction with respect to the GNF
or BSYS software versions, we recommend that you regularly update the JDM software.
A JDM upgrade does not affect any of the running GNFs.

Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements for Junos Node Slicing

To set up Junos Node Slicing, you need an MX Series router and a pair of industry standard
x86 servers. The x86 servers host the Juniper Device Manager (JDM) along with the GNF
VMs.

MX Series Router
The following routers support Junos Node Slicing:

• MX2010

• MX2020

• MX480

• MX960

NOTE: For the MX960 and MX480 routers, the Control Boards must be
SCBE2; and the Routing Engines must be interoperable with SCBE2
(RE-S-1800, RE-S-X6-64G).

x86 Servers
Ensure that both the servers have similar (preferably identical) hardware configuration.

The x86 server hardware resource requirements comprise:

• Per-GNF resource requirements (CPU, memory, and storage).

• Shared resource requirements (CPU, memory, storage and network ports).

The server hardware requirements are thus the sum of the requirements of the individual
GNFs, and the shared resource requirements. The server hardware requirements are a
function of how many GNFs you plan to use.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 15

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

x86 CPU:

• Must be Intel Haswell-EP or newer.

BIOS:

• Must have hyperthreading disabled.

• Must have performance mode enabled.

Storage:

• Must be local to the server.

• Must be solid-state drive (SSD)-based.

The storage space for GNFs is allocated from the following:

• /(root), which must have a minimum available storage space of 50 GB.

• /vm-primary, which must have a minimum available storage space of 350 GB.

We recommend hardware RAID 1 configuration for storage resiliency. We also recommend

that you set up /vm-primary as a Linux partition.

Server Hardware Resource Requirements (Per GNF)

Each GNF must be associated with a resource template, which defines the number of
dedicated CPU cores and the size of DRAM to be assigned for that GNF.

Table 3 on page 16 lists the GNF resource templates available:

Table 3: GNF Resource Template

Template CPU cores DRAM (GB)

2core-16g 2 16

4core-32g 4 32

6core-48g 6 48

8core-64g 8 64

Each GNF requires a minimum of 64 GB storage.

Shared Server Hardware Resource Requirements

Table 4 on page 17 lists the server hardware resources that are shared between all the
guest network functions (GNFs) on a server:

NOTE: These requirements are in addition to the per-GNF requirements

mentioned in the Server Hardware Resource Requirements (Per GNF) section.

• One Ethernet interface (1/10 Gbps) for JDM management network.
• One Ethernet interface (1/10 Gbps) for GNF management network. (This port is shared by all the
GNFs on that server).
• Serial port or an equivalent interface (iDRAC, IPMI) for server console access.

Software Requirements

The x86 servers must have the following installed:

® ®
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3 or Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - with virtualization
packages.

To enable virtualization for RHEL, choose “Virtualization Host" for the Base Environment
and "Virtualization Platform" as an Add-On from the Software Selection screen during
installation.

NOTE:
• The hypervisor supported is KVM.

• Additional packages—Additional packages are required for Intel X710 NIC Driver and
JDM. For more information, see the “Intel X710 NIC Driver for x86 Servers” on page 23
and “Installing Additional Packages” on page 24 sections.

Setting Up the Connection Between Servers and the Router

To set up Junos Node Slicing, you must directly connect a pair of external x86 servers to
the MX Series router. Besides the management port for the Linux host, each server also
requires two additional ports for providing management connectivity for the JDM and
the GNF VMs, respectively, and two ports for connecting to the MX Series router.

Figure 4 on page 20 shows how an MX2020 router is connected to a pair of x86 external
servers.

According to the example in Figure 4 on page 20, em1, em2, and em3 on the x86 servers
are the ports that are used for the management of the Linux host, the JDM and the GNFs,
respectively. p3p1 and p3p2 on each server are the two 10-Gbps ports that are connected
to the Control Boards of the MX Series router.

NOTE:
• The names of interfaces on the server, such as em1, p3p1 might vary
according to the server hardware configuration.

For more information on the XGE ports of the MX Series router Control Board (CB)
mentioned in Figure 4 on page 20, see:

x86 Server CPU BIOS Settings

For Junos Node Slicing, the BIOS of the x86 server CPUs should be set up such that:

• Hyperthreading is disabled.

• The CPU cores always run at their rated frequency.

• The CPU cores are set to reduce jitter by limiting C-state use.

To find the rated frequency of the CPU cores on the server, run the Linux host command
lscpu, and check the value for the field Model name. See the following example:

Linux server0:~# lscpu

..
Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v3 @ 2.50GHz
..

To find the frequency at which the CPU cores are currently running, run the Linux host
command grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo and check the value for each CPU core.

On a server that has the BIOS set to operate the CPU cores at their rated frequency, the
observed values for the CPU cores will all match the rated frequency (or be very close
to it), as shown in the following example.

Linux server0:~# grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo

…
cpu MHz : 2499.902
cpu MHz : 2500.000
cpu MHz : 2500.000
cpu MHz : 2499.902
…

On a server that does not have the BIOS set to operate the CPU cores at their rated
frequency, the observed values for the CPU cores do not match the rated frequency, and
the values could also vary with time (you can check this by rerunning the command).

Linux server0:~# grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo

…
cpu MHz : 1200.562
cpu MHz : 1245.468
cpu MHz : 1217.625
cpu MHz : 1214.156

To set the x86 server BIOS system profile to operate the CPU cores at their rated
frequency, reduce jitter, and disable hyperthreading, consult the server manufacturer,
because these settings vary with server model and BIOS versions.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 21

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

Typical BIOS system profile settings to achieve this include:

• Logical processor: set to Disabled.

• CPU power management: set to Maximum performance.

• Memory frequency: set to Maximum performance.

• Turbo boost: set to Disabled.

• C-states and C1E state: set to Disabled.

• Energy efficient policy: set to Performance.

• Monitor/Mwait: set to Disabled.

A custom BIOS system profile might be required to set these values.

x86 Server Linux GRUB Configuration

In Junos Node Slicing, each GNF VM is assigned dedicated CPU cores. This assignment
is managed by Juniper Device Manager (JDM). On each x86 server, JDM requires that all
CPU cores other than CPU cores 0 and 1 be reserved for Junos Node Slicing – and in
effect, that these cores be isolated from other applications. CPU cores 2 and 3 are
dedicated for GNF virtual disk and network I/O. CPU cores 4 and above are available for
assignment to GNF VMs. To reserve these CPU cores, you must set the isolcpus parameter
in the Linux GRUB configuration as described in the following procedure:

For x86 servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.3, perform the following steps:

1. Determine the number of CPU cores on the x86 server. Ensure that hyperthreading
has already been disabled, as described in “x86 Server CPU BIOS Settings” on page 21.
You can use the Linux command lscpu to find the total number of CPU cores, as shown
in the following example:

Linux server0:~# lscpu

…
Cores per socket: 12
Sockets: 2
…

Here, there are 24 cores (12 x 2). The CPU cores are numbered as core 0 to core 23.

2. As per this example, the isolcpus parameter must be set to ’isolcpus=2-23’ (isolate
all CPU cores other than cores 0 and 1 for use by JDM and the GNF VMs).

22 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 3: Preparing for Junos Node Slicing Setup

To set the isolcpus parameter in the Linux GRUB configuration file, follow the procedure
described in the section Isolating CPUs from the process scheduler in this Red Hat
document. A summary of the section is as follows:

a. Edit the Linux GRUB file /etc/default/grub to append the isolcpus parameter to
the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, as shown in the following example:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=
"crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap rhgb quiet
isolcpus=2-23”

b. Run the Linux shell command grub2-mkconfig to generate the updated GRUB file
as shown below:

If you are using legacy BIOS, issue the following command:

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

If you are using UEFI, issue the following command:

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/redhat/grub.cfg

c. Reboot the x86 server.

d. Verify that the isolcpus parameter has now been set, by checking the output of the
Linux command cat /proc/cmdline, as shown in the following example:

# cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64 … quiet isolcpus=2-23

Intel X710 NIC Driver for x86 Servers

If you are using Intel X710 NIC, ensure that you have the latest driver (2.0.23 or later)
installed on the x86 servers.

You need to first identify the X710 NIC interface on the servers. For example, this could
be p3p1.

You can check the NIC driver version by running the Linux command ethtool -i interface.
See the following example:

root@Linux server0# ethtool -i p3p1

driver: i40e
version: 2.0.23
firmware-version: 5.05 0x80002899 17.5.12
...

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 23

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

Refer to the Intel support page for instructions on updating the driver.

NOTE: Ensure that the host OS is up to date prior to updating the Intel X710
NIC driver.

You need the following packages for building the driver:

• kernel-devel

• Development Tools

If you are using RedHat, run the following commands to install these packages:

root@Linux server0#yum install kernel-devel

root@Linux server0#yum group install "Development Tools"

NOTE: After updating the Intel X710 NIC driver, you might notice the following
message in the host OS log:

"i40e: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting
kernel"

Ignore this message. It appears because the updated NIC driver module has
superseded the base version of the driver that was packaged with the host
OS.

Configuring an MX Series Router to Operate in BSYS Mode

NOTE: Ensure that the MX Series router is connected to the x86 servers as
described in “Setting Up the Connection Between Servers and the Router”
on page 19.

Junos Node Slicing requires the MX Series router to function as the base system (BSYS).

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 27

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

Use the following steps to configure an MX Series router to operate in BSYS mode:

1. Install the Junos OS package for BSYS on both the Routing Engines of the MX Series
router.

To download the package:

a. Go to the Juniper support page for Junos Node Slicing.

b. Click Base System > Junos OS version number > Junos version number (64-bit
High-End).

c. On the Software Download page, select the I Agree option under End User License
Agreement and then click Proceed.

2. On the MX Series router, run the show chassis hardware command and verify that the
transceivers on both the Control Boards (CBs) are detected. The following text
represents a sample output:

root@router> show chassis hardware

…
CB 0 REV 23 750-040257 CABL4989 Control Board

Xcvr 1 REV 01 740-031980 ALN0PCM SFP+-10G-SR

3. On the MX Series router, apply the following configuration statements:

root@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions

root@router# set chassis redundancy graceful-switchover
root@router# set chassis network-services enhanced-ip
root@router# set routing-options nonstop-routing
root@router# set system commit synchronize
root@router# commit

NOTE: On MX960 routers, you must configure the network-services mode

as enhanced-ip or enhanced-ethernet. On MX2020 routers, the enhanced-ip
configuration statement is already enabled by default .

The router now operates in BSYS mode.

NOTE: A router in the BSYS mode is not expected to run features other than
the ones required to run the basic management functionalities in Junos Node
Slicing. For example, the BSYS is not expected to have interface configurations
associated with the line cards installed in the system. Instead, guest network
functions (GNFs) will have the full-fledged router configurations.

Configuring x86 Server Interfaces in JDM

In the JDM, you must configure:

• The two 10-Gbps server ports that are connected to the MX Series router.

• The server port to be used as the JDM management port.

• The server port to be used as the GNF management port.

Therefore, you need to identify the following on each server before starting the
configuration of the ports:

• The server interfaces (for example, p3p1 and p3p2) that are connected to CB0 and CB1
on the MX Series router.

32 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 4: Setting Up Junos Node Slicing

• The server interfaces (for example, em2 and em3) to be used for JDM management
and GNF management.

NOTE:
• You need this information for both server0 and server1.

• These interfaces are visible only on the Linux host.

To configure the x86 server interfaces in JDM, perform the following steps on both the
servers:

1. On server0, apply the following configuration statements:

root@jdm# set groups server0 server interfaces cb0 p3p1

root@jdm# set groups server0 server interfaces cb1 p3p2
root@jdm# set groups server1 server interfaces cb0 p3p1
root@jdm# set groups server1 server interfaces cb1 p3p2
root@jdm# set apply-groups [ server0 server1 ]
root@jdm# commit

root@jdm# set groups server0 server interfaces jdm-management em2

root@jdm# set groups server0 server interfaces vnf-management em3
root@jdm# set groups server1 server interfaces jdm-management em2
root@jdm# set groups server1 server interfaces vnf-management em3
root@jdm# commit

2. Repeat the step 1 on server1.

NOTE: Ensure that you apply the same configuration on both server0 and
server1.

3. Share the ssh identities between the two x86 servers.

At both server0 and server1, run the following JDM CLI command:

root@jdm> request server authenticate-peer-server

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 33

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

NOTE: The request server authenticate-peer-server command displays a

CLI message requesting you to log in to the peer server using ssh to verify
the operation. To log in to the peer server, you need to prefix ip netns exec
jdm_nv_ns to ssh root@jdm-server1.

For example, to log in to the peer server from server0, exit the JDM CLI,
and use the following command from JDM shell:

root@jdm:~# ip netns exec jdm_nv_ns ssh root@jdm-server1

Similarly, to log in to the peer server from server1, use the following
command:

root@jdm:~# ip netns exec jdm_nv_ns ssh root@jdm-server0

4. Apply the configuration statements in the JDM CLI configuration mode to set the JDM
management IP address, default route, and the JDM hostname for each JDM instance
as shown in the following example.

NOTE: The management IP address and default route must be specific

to your network.

root@jdm# set groups server0 interfaces jmgmt0 unit 0 family inet address 10.216.105.112/21

Configuring Guest Network Functions

Configuring a guest network function (GNF) comprises two tasks, one to be performed
at the BSYS and the other at the JDM.

NOTE: You need to assign an ID to each GNF. This ID must be the same at
the BSYS and the JDM.

At the BSYS, specify a GNF by assigning it an ID and a set of line cards by applying the
configuration as shown in the following example:

user@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions gnf 1 fpcs 4

user@router# commit

In the JDM, the GNF VMs are referred to as virtual network functions (VNFs). A VNF has
the following attributes:

• A VNF name.

• A GNF ID. This ID must be the same as the GNF ID used at the BSYS.

• The MX Series platform type.

• A Junos OS image to be used for the GNF.

• The VNF CPU and memory resource profile template..

To configure a VNF, perform the following steps:

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 35

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

1. Retrieve the Junos OS image for GNFs and place it in the host OS directory
/var/jdm-usr/gnf-images/ on both the servers.

To download the package:

a. Go to the Juniper support page for Junos Node Slicing.

b. Click GNF > Junos OS version number > Junos version number (Guest Network
Function) .

c. On the Software Download page, select the I Agree option under the End User
License Agreement and then click Proceed.

2. Assign this image to a GNF by using the JDM CLI command as shown in the following
example:

root@test-jdm-server0> request virtual-network-functions test-gnf add-image

/var/jdm-usr/gnf-images/junos-install-ns-mx-x86-64-17.4R1.10.tgz all-servers
Server0:
Added image: /vm-primary/test-gnf/test-gnf.img

Server1:
Added image: /vm-primary/test-gnf/test-gnf.img

3. Configure the VNF by applying the configuration statements as shown in the following
example:

root@test-jdm-server0# set virtual-network-functions test-gnf id 1

root@test-jdm-server0# set virtual-network-functions test-gnf chassis-type mx2020

root@test-jdm-server0# set virtual-network-functions test-gnf resource-template

2core-16g

To also specify a baseline or initial Junos OS configuration for a GNF, prepare the GNF
configuration file (example: /var/jdm-usr/gnf-config/test-gnf.conf) on both the servers
and specify the filename as the parameter in the base-config statement as shown
below:

root@test-jdm-server0# set virtual-network-functions test-gnf base-config

/var/jdm-usr/gnf-config/test-gnf.conf

root@test-jdm-server0# commit synchronize

36 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 4: Setting Up Junos Node Slicing

NOTE: Ensure that:

• You use the same GNF ID as the one specified earlier in BSYS.

• The baseline configuration filename (with the path) is the same on both
the servers.

• The syntax of the baseline file contents is in the Junos OS configuration

format.

• The GNF name used here is the same as the one assigned to the Junos
OS image for GNF in the step 2.

4. To verify that the VNF is created, run the following JDM CLI command:

root@test-jdm-server0> show virtual-network-functions test-gnf

5. Log in to the console of the VNF by issuing the following JDM CLI command:

root@test-jdm-server0> request virtual-network-functions test-gnf console

6. Configure the VNF the same way as you configure an MX Series Routing Engine.

NOTE:
• For sample configurations, see “Sample Configuration for Junos Node
Slicing” on page 42.

• If you had previously brought down any physical x86 CB interfaces or the
GNF management interface from Linux shell (by using the command ifconfig
interface-name down), these will automatically be brought up when the
GNF is started.

Chassis Configuration Hierarchy at BSYS and GNF

In Junos Node Slicing, the BSYS owns all the physical components of the router, including
the line cards and fabric, while the GNFs maintain forwarding state on their respective
line cards. In keeping with this split responsibility, Junos CLI configuration under the chassis
hierarchy (if any), should be applied at the BSYS or at the GNF as follows:

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 37

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

• Physical-level parameters under the chassis configuration hierarchy should be applied

at the BSYS. For example, the configuration for handling physical errors at an FPC is
a physical-level parameter, and should therefore be applied at the BSYS.

At BSYS Junos CLI:

[edit]
user@router# set chassis fpc fpc slot error major threshold threshold value action alarm

• Logical or feature-level parameters under the chassis configuration hierarchy should

be applied at the GNF associated with the FPC. For example, the configuration for
max-queues per line card is a logical-level parameter, and should therefore be applied
at the GNF.

At GNF Junos CLI:

[edit]
user@router# set chassis fpc fpc slot max-queues value

• As exceptions, the following two parameters under the chassis configuration hierarchy
should be applied at both BSYS and GNF:

At both BSYS and GNF CLI:

user@router# set chassis network-services network services mode
user@router# set chassis fpc fpc slot flexible-queueing-mode

SNMP Trap Support: Configuring NMS Server

The Juniper Device Manager (JDM) supports the following SNMP traps:

• LinkUp and linkDown traps for JDM interfaces.

Standard linkUp/linkDown SNMP traps are generated. A default community string jdm
is used.

• LinkUp/linkDown traps for host interfaces.

Standard linkUp/linkDown SNMP traps are generated. A default community string host
is used.

• JDM to JDM connectivity loss/regain traps.

JDM to JDM connectivity loss/regain traps are sent using generic syslog traps
(jnxSyslogTrap) through the host management interface.

The JDM connectivity down trap JDM_JDM_LINK_DOWN is sent when the JDM is not
able to communicate with the peer JDM on another server over cb0 or cb1 links. See
the following example:

{ SNMPv2c C=host { V2Trap(296) R=1299287309

Configuring Abstracted Fabric Interfaces Between a Pair of GNFs

Creating an Abstracted Fabric (AF) interface between two guest network functions
(GNFs) involves configurations both at the base system (BSYS) and at the GNF. AF
interfaces are created on GNFs based on the BSYS configuration, which is then sent to
those GNFs.

NOTE: Only one AF interface can be configured between a pair of GNFs.

To configure AF interfaces between a pair of GNFs:

1. At the BSYS, apply the configuration as shown in the following example:

user@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions gnf 2 af4 peer-gnf id 4

user@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions gnf 2 af4 peer-gnf af2
user@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions gnf 4 af2 peer-gnf id 2
user@router# set chassis network-slices guest-network-functions gnf 4 af2 peer-gnf af4

In this example, af2 is the Abstracted Fabric interface instance 2 and af4 is the
Abstracted Fabric interface instance 4.

NOTE: The allowed AF interface values range from af0 through af9.

The GNF AF interface will be visible and up. You can configure an AF interface the way
you configure any other interface.

2. At the GNF, apply the configuration as shown in the following example:

user@router-gnf-b# set interfaces af2 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.1/24

user@router-gnf-b# set interfaces af2 unit 0 family mpls

NOTE: For sample AF configurations, see “Sample Configuration for Junos

Node Slicing” on page 42.

Class of Service on Abstracted Fabric Interfaces

Class of service (CoS) packet classification assigns an incoming packet to an output
queue based on the packet’s forwarding class. See CoS Configuration Guide for more
details.

40 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 4: Setting Up Junos Node Slicing

The following sections explain the forwarding class- to-queue mapping, and the behavior
aggregate (BA) classifiers and rewrites supported on the Abstracted Fabric (AF)
interfaces.

Forwarding Class-to-Queue Mapping

An AF interface is a simulated WAN interface with most capabilities of any other interface
except that the traffic designated to a remote Packet Forwarding Engine will still have
to go over the two fabric queues (Low/High priority ones).

NOTE: Presently, the AF interface operates in 2-queue mode only. Hence, all
queue-based features such as scheduling, policing, and shaping are not
available on an AF interface.

Packets on the AF interface inherit the fabric queue that is determined by the fabric
priority configured for the forwarding class to which that packet belongs. For example,
see the following forwarding class to queue map configuration:

[edit]

user@router# show class-of-service forwarding-classes

class Economy queue-num 0 priority low; /* Low fabric priority */

class Stream queue-num 1;
class Business queue-num 2;
class Voice queue-num 3;
class NetControl queue-num 3;
class Business2 queue-num 4;
class Business3 queue-num 5;
class VoiceSig queue-num 6 priority high; /* High fabric priority */
class VoiceRTP queue-num 7;

As shown in the preceding example, when a packet gets classified to the forwarding class
VoiceSig, the code in the forwarding path examines the fabric priority of that forwarding
class and decides which fabric queue to choose for this packet. In this case, high-priority
fabric queue is chosen.

BA Classifiers and Rewrites

The behavior aggregate (BA) classifier maps a class-of-service (CoS) value to a

forwarding class and loss priority. The forwarding class and loss-priority combination
determines the CoS treatment given to the packet in the router. The following BA
classifiers and rewrites are supported:

• Inet-Precedence classifier and rewrite

• DSCP classifier and rewrite

• MPLS EXP classifier and rewrite

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 41

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

You can also apply rewrites for IP packets entering the MPLS tunnel and do a rewrite
of both EXP and IPv4 type of service (ToS) bits. This approach will work as it does on
other normal interfaces.

• DSCP v6 classifier and rewrite for IP v6 traffic

NOTE:
The following are not supported:

• IEEE 802.1 classification and rewrite

• IEEE 802.1AD (QinQ) classification and rewrite

See CoS Configuration Guide for details on CoS BA classifiers.

Setting Up YANG-Based Orchestration of

GNFs

• Setting Up YANG-Based Orchestration of GNFs on page 49

• Disabling the YANG-based Orchestration of GNFs on page 51
• Supported XML RPCs: YANG-Based Abstraction of GNFs on page 52

Setting Up YANG-Based Orchestration of GNFs

Starting from Junos OS Release 17.4R1, Junos supports YANG-based abstraction to

orchestrate guest network functions (GNFs), using single touchpoint.

In the single touchpoint method, a software-defined networking (SDN) controller (for

example, OpenDaylight or ODL), communicates with the base system (BSYS)—that is,
the BSYS acts as the single touchpoint. The BSYS receives the RPC requests from the
ODL controller, parses the RPC and then forwards the adequate RPC to the JDM (based
on scripts available at the BSYS). On getting the response from the JDM, the BSYS parses
and forwards the response back to ODL.

NOTE: Junos Node Slicing also supports GNF life cycle management using
the dual touchpoint method. In this method, ODL sends RPCs to, and receive
responses from, JDM and BSYS separately. To enable dual touchpoint, you
need to mount both BSYS and Juniper Device Manager (JDM) on ODL.

To enable single touchpoint, you need to perform the following steps.

• Installing YANG Package on BSYS on page 49

• Sharing the SSH Identities Between BSYS and JDM on page 50
• Configuring the BSYS to Communicate with JDM on page 51

Installing YANG Package on BSYS

In the node slicing setup, two servers (referred to as Server0 and Server1) are connected
to an MX series router (or the BSYS). On the BSYS, you need to install the YANG package
to enable communication between the BSYS and the JDM.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 49

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

To install the YANG package on the BSYS, use the following command:

root@router> request system software add /var/tmp/junos-node-slicing-x86-32-17.4.tgz

NOTE: You need to install the same package on the backup Routing Engine
as well.

After successful installation, you can find the YANG Package contents at the following
location:

root@router:/opt/yang-pkg/junos-node-slicing

You can verify the package installation status on both the Routing Engines of the BSYS,
using the following command:

root@router> show system yang package

Sharing the SSH Identities Between BSYS and JDM

To synchronize configurations between the BSYS and the JDM (on server0 and server1),
the SSH identities need to be shared between the BSYS and the JDM. It is mandatory to
share the authorization keys for passwordless authentication from BSYS to JDM.

NOTE:
• Ensure that server0 and server1 are up and running.

Configuring the BSYS to Communicate with JDM

NOTE: This is a one-time setup.

To complete the single touchpoint setup, you need to set the BSYS to communicate
with the JDM. This enables the BSYS to service the RPC requests from ODL.

To enable the BSYS to communicate with the JDM, issue the following commands on
the BSYS.

root@router# set jdm-configuration:jdm jdm-management server0 jdm-server0-ip-addr

Upgrading Junos Node Slicing

Junos Node Slicing comprises three types of software components:

• Juniper Device Manager (JDM) package

• Junos OS image for guest network function (GNFs)

• Junos OS package for base system (BSYS)

You can upgrade each of these components independently, as long as they are within
the allowed range of software versions (see “Multi-Version Software Interoperability
Overview” on page 10 for more details). You can also upgrade all of them together.

NOTE: Before starting the upgrade process, save the JDM, GNF VM, and BSYS
configurations for reference.

• Upgrading JDM on page 56

• Upgrading GNF and BSYS on page 56

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 55

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

Upgrading JDM

1. Upgrade the JDM by performing the following tasks on both the servers:

a. Copy the new JDM package (RPM or Ubuntu) to a directory on the host (for
example, /var/tmp).

b. Stop the JDM by using the following command:

root@Linux server0# jdm stop

Stopping JDM

c. Issue the upgrade command to upgrade the JDM package:

If you are upgrading the JDM RHEL package, use the following command:

root@Linux server0# rpm -U package_name.rpm --force

If you are upgrading the JDM Ubuntu package, use the following command:

root@Linux server0# dpkg -i deb package.deb

NOTE: A JDM upgrade does not affect any of the running GNFs.

See also:

• Installing JDM RPM Package on x86 Servers Running RHEL on page 29

• Installing JDM Ubuntu Package on x86 Servers Running Ubuntu 16.04 on page 30

Upgrading GNF and BSYS

The GNF and BSYS packages can be upgraded in the same way as you would upgrade
Junos OS on a standalone MX Series router.

NOTE: You can also overwrite an existing GNF image with a new one through
JDM by using the JDM CLI command request virtual-network-functions vnf-name
add-image new-image-name force. This can be useful in a rare situation where
the GNF image does not boot. You can also use the force option to perform
a cleanup if, for example, you abruptly stopped an earlier add-image process
by pressing Ctrl-C (example: request virtual-network-functions vnf-name
delete-image image-name force).

Unified ISSU Support

Junos Node Slicing also supports unified in-service software upgrade (ISSU), enabling
you to upgrade between two different Junos OS versions with no disruption on the control
plane and with minimal disruption of traffic. You can perform unified ISSU on BSYS and

56 Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc.

 Chapter 6: Managing Junos Node Slicing

GNFs separately. Also, you can run unified ISSU on each GNF independently—without
affecting other GNFs. See also Understanding the Unified ISSU Process.

NOTE: The multi-version software support restrictions (such as version

deviation limits) are applicable to unified ISSU upgrade as well.

Managing Multi-Version Software Interoperability

Junos Node Slicing supports multi-version software interoperability. However, if there

are any incompatibilities between software versions, alert messages appear during the
software upgrade process or when a GNF or a FRU comes online. When minor
incompatibilities occur, you can choose to accept them and proceed. In case of a major
incompatibility, you need to either abort the process or use the force option to accept
the incompatibility and proceed.

The following are sample messages that appear if incompatibilities are detected during
software upgrade:

• Viewing Incompatibilities Between Software Versions on page 59

Viewing Software Incompatibility Alarms

After a software update of a GNF or BSYS, if software incompatibilities between the GNF
and the BSYS exist, they will be raised as a chassis alarm. You can view the incompatibility
alarm information by using the show chassis alarms command. You can further view the
details of the incompatibilities by using the show system anomalies command. For more
details, see “Viewing Incompatibilities Between Software Versions” on page 59.

The alarms appear only on GNFs even if the upgrade is performed on the BSYS. The
following types of alarm can occur:

• System Incompatibility with BSYS—This is a major alarm. It appears when any

incompatibilities between BSYS and GNF software versions cause the GNF to go offline.

• Feature Incompatibility with BSYS—This is a minor alarm. It indicates a minor

incompatibility between BSYS and GNF software versions. This does not cause the
GNF to go offline.

Viewing Incompatibilities Between Software Versions

To view software incompatibilities from the BSYS, use the CLI as shown in the following
example:

user@router> show system anomalies gnf-id 4 system

To view software incompatibilities from a GNF, use the CLI as shown in the following
example:

user@router> show system anomalies system

NOTE:
• As shown in the CLI, remember to specify the GNF ID while viewing the
incompatibilities from BSYS.

• The preceding examples show system-level incompatibilities. Use the fru

or config options to view FRU or feature-level incompatibilities.

Restarting External Servers

Server maintenance activities such as hardware or host OS upgrade and fault isolation
might require you to restart the external servers used in Junos Node Slicing. Use the
following procedure to restart the servers:

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 59

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

1. Stop all the GNFs.

If you are restarting both the servers, choose the all-servers option while stopping
each GNF as shown in the following example:

root@server1> request virtual-network-functions gnf_name stop all-servers

gnf_name stopped

If you are restarting a particular server, stop the GNFs on that server by specifying the
server-id as shown in the following example:

root@server1> request virtual-network-functions gnf_name stop server0

gnf_name stopped

2. Verify that the GNFs have been stopped.

root@server1> show virtual-network-functions

ID Name State Liveness

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 mgb-gnf-b Shutdown down

NOTE: If you want to view the status of GNFs on both the servers, choose
the all-servers option. Example: show virtual-network-functions all-servers).

3. From the Linux host shell, stop the JDM by using the following command:

[root@HostLinux ~]# jdm stop

Stopping JDM

4. From the Linux host shell, verify that the JDM status shows as stopped.

[root@HostLinux ~]# jdm status

JDM is stopped

5. After rebooting, verify that the JDM status now shows as running.

[root@HostLinux ~]# jdm status

JDM (pid 2828) is running as server1

After a server reboot, the JDM and the configured GNFs will automatically start running.

If you are replacing the servers, ensure that the operating server pair continues to have
similar or identical hardware configuration. If the server pair were to become temporarily
dissimilar during the replacement (this could be the case when replacing the servers
sequentially), it is recommended that you disable GRES and NSR for this period, and
re-enable them only when both the servers are similar once again.

Updating Host OS on the External Servers

Before updating the host OS on an external server, you must first stop the GNFs and JDM
on that server as described in “Restarting External Servers” on page 59.

Following the host OS update, if you are using Intel X710 NICs, ensure that the version of
the X710 NIC driver in use continues to be the latest version as described in “Intel X710
NIC Driver for x86 Servers” on page 23 .

Deleting Guest Network Functions

This procedure involves shutting down a GNF and then deleting it. In JDM, GNF VMs are
called VNFs. Use the following steps to delete a VNF:

1. Shut down a VNF by using the JDM CLI command request virtual-network-functions
gnf-name stop all-servers. For example:

root@test-jdm-server0> request virtual-network-functions test-gnf stop all-servers

server0:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
test-gnf stopped

server1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
test-gnf stopped

2. Delete the VNF configuration by applying the JDM CLI configuration statement delete
virtual-network-functions gnf-name. See the following example:

root@test-jdm-server0# delete virtual-network-functions test-gnf

root@test-jdm-server0# commit synchronize

3. Delete the VNF image repository by using the JDM CLI command request
virtual-network-functions gnf-name delete-image all-servers. For example:

root@test-jdm-server0> request virtual-network-functions test-gnf delete-image

all-servers

server0:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deleted the image repository
server1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deleted the image repository

NOTE:
• To delete a VNF completely, you must perform all the three steps.

• If you want to delete a VNF management interface, you must stop and
delete the VNF first.

Disabling Junos Node Slicing

To disable Junos Node Slicing, you must uninstall the following packages:

• JDM package

• Junos OS image for GNFs

NOTE: Save the JDM configuration if you want to use it for reference.

Use the following steps to disable Junos Node Slicing:

1. Delete the GNFs first by performing all the steps described in the section “Deleting
Guest Network Functions” on page 61.

2. Stop the JDM on each server by running the following command at the host Linux
shell:

root@Linux server0# jdm stop

Stopping jdm: Domain jdm destroyed

3. Uninstall the JDM on each server by running the following command at the host Linux
shell.

For the servers running RHEL, run the following command:

root@Linux server0# rpm -e jns-jdm

For the servers running Ubuntu, run the following command:

root@Linux server0# dpkg --remove jns-jdm

4. To revert the MX Series router from BSYS mode to standalone mode, apply the
following configuration statements on the MX Series router:

root@router# delete chassis network-slices guest-network-functions

• show version (JDM)
• show system cpu (JDM)
• show system storage (JDM)
• show system memory (JDM)
• show system network (JDM)

Generic Guidelines for Using JDM Server Commands

The following are general guidelines on how to use the JDM server commands:

• Append all-servers to an operational command to take action on both the servers.

Example: request virtual-network-functions gnf1 restart all-servers.

• Append server0 or server1 to an operational command to take action on server0 or

server1. Example: request virtual-network-functions gnf1 restart server0.

By default, the operational commands work only on the local JDM.

• Use the commit synchronize command to ensure that the configuration committed on
one server is synchronized with the other server. The synchronization is bidirectional.
A JDM configuration change at either of the servers is synchronized with the other
server. When a virtual machine (VM) is instantiated, the GNF-re0 VM instance starts
on server0 and the GNF-re1 VM instance starts on server1.

Copyright © 2018, Juniper Networks, Inc. 111

Junos Node Slicing Feature Guide

NOTE: If you do not use the commit synchronize command, you must
configure and manage the VMs on both the servers manually.
