In this post, detailed steps with screenshots will present you a easy guide to install a JunOS Space Virtual Appliance into Vmware ESXi 5.5.
1. Download space-14.1R2.9.ova
Download OVA file from Juniper Website (Click Here) with your account. Remember to choose Image for Virtual Appliance.
2. In ESXi 5.5, Deploy OVA Template -> Choose downloaded ova file
3. Start Juniper JunOS Space in ESXi 5.5 and Complete basic configuration
3.1 User IDs
After you first time logged into Juniper Space with default account, you will be asked to change admin password right away.
There are three different user IDs for Juniper JunOS Space as follows:
- admin user for CLI login (default password: abc123)
- super user for WebUI (default password: juniper123)
- Maintenance user for maintenance operations. The password is set by the admin user during the initial configuration (that is, there is no default password).
3.2 Network Interfaces
By default, JunOS Space Virtual Appliance have four network interfaces:
- eth0 – SSH and device management if eth3 is not configured (node IP). But Secure Shell Daemon (sshd) is listening on all IP addresses.
- eth0:0 – GUI interface with an instance of JBOSS running (GUI). The web GUI interface is only on the VIP, the same subnet as eth0.
- eth1 – Not supported before Junos Space Network Management Platform Release 14.1R1. From 14.1R1 onwards you can configure the eth1 Ethernet interface as an administrative interface.
- eth2 – Not supported
- eth3 – Device management when managed devices are on a subnet and not reachable by way of eth0. Device management, outbound (discover) and inbound (post-discovery), including syslog and DMI, should be eth3, or eth0 if eth3 is not configured.
Configure Eth0:
Configure Eth3 for Device Management and configure eth0.0 for Web GUI:
Configuration Summary:
Eth0: 192.168.2.70 Gateway: 192.168.2.1 DNS: 8.8.8.8
Eth3: 172.17.3.70
Eth0.0 : 192.168.2.72
Note: Eth0.0 IP Address has to be in same network as Eth0.
