Page 4: Monitoring Juniper Ex Switch
If this switch, which assures service operators of continuous network connectivity and secure transaction of business, starts malfunctioning suddenly, the connection to mission-critical services will be lost, thereby causing irreparable damage to reputation and revenue. It is therefore imperative that the operations of the Juniper Ex Switch are monitored 24 x 7. -
Page 5: The Operating System Layer
This layer tracks the current CPU usage, memory, temperature and the uptime of each hardware component of the Juniper EX Switch. Besides this, this layer helps you in identifying the number of trap messages that were sent by the switch for failures of the power supply units , fans and abnormal deduction in temperature of the hardware components. - Page 6 SNMP data traffic related to the Juniper EX Switch over TCP (and not UDP). For this, set the DATA OVER TCP flag to By default, this flag is set to...

Page 7: Uptime Test
CPU resources at its maximum. 1.1.2 Uptime Test This test measures the uptime of each hardware component of the Juniper EX Switch and reports administrators if any hardware component has been running without reboot for a longer period of time. Purpose... - Page 8 Juniper EX Switch over TCP (and not UDP). For this, set the DATA OVER TCP flag to By default, this flag is set to Outputs of the One set of results for each hardware component of the Juniper EX Switch that is to be monitored test Measurements...

Page 9: Memory Test
1.1.3 Memory Test This test reports the total memory allocated to each hardware component of the target Juniper EX Switch. Using this test, you can monitor the buffer memory utilization and heap memory utilization of each hardware component. This way, you can identify the hardware component that is running short of memory. - Page 10 Juniper EX Switch over TCP (and not UDP). For this, set the DATA OVER TCP flag to By default, this flag is set to Outputs of the One set of results for each hardware component of the target Juniper EX Switch that is to be test monitored...

1.1.4 Temperature Test This test monitors the temperature of each hardware component of the target Juniper EX switch and alerts if any abnormalities are detected. Purpose Monitors the temperature of each hardware component of the target Juniper EX switch and... -
Page 12: Temperature Traps Test
Temperature fluctuation of hardware components, if not promptly detected and resolved, can prove to be fatal to the availability and overall health of a Juniper EX Switch. This test intercepts the temperature traps sent by the hardware components of the switch, extracts information related to temperature errors/failures from the traps, and reports the... - Page 13 Intercepts the temperature traps sent by the hardware components of the switch, extracts information related to temperature errors/failures from the traps, and reports the count of these trap messages to the eG manager Target of the A Juniper EX Switch...

Page 14: Power Supplies Test
Juniper EX Switch. 1.1.6 Power Supplies Test The chassis of the Juniper EX Switch is a rigid sheet-metal structure that houses the hardware components. The field-replaceable units (FRUs) in the EX series switches are: Power supply ... - Page 15 Abnormal power fluctuation to the hardware components often lead to the malfunctioning of the Juniper EX Switch which when left unnoticed can prove to be fatal to the availability and overall health. This test intercepts the traps sent by the switch, extracts information related to power supply failures from the traps, and reports the count of these trap messages to the eG manager.

Page 17: Fans Test
This test intercepts the fan failure traps sent by the switch, extracts relevant information related to the failure from the traps, and reports the count of these trap messages to the eG manager. This information enables administrators to detect the fan failures if any, understand the nature of these failures, and accordingly decide on the remedial measures. - Page 18 Outputs of the One set of results for each type of failure event that occurred on the target Juniper EX Switch test Measurements Measurement made by the...

Juniper EX Switch. 1.2 The JEX Service Layer This layer tracks the CPU mode of each routing engine available in the Juniper EX Switch. Figure 3: The tests mapped to the JEX Service layer 1.2.1 Switch Details Test The Routing Engine runs the Junos OS. - Page 20 By default, the eG agent does not encrypt SNMP requests. Accordingly, the ENCRYPTFLAG is set to NO by default. To ensure that SNMP requests sent by the eG agent are encrypted, select the YES option.
