Network Traffic Analyzer
Introduction
• Network Traffic Analysis proactively monitor network usage and
provides real-time and trended view of bandwidth usage
• Identifies which devices, interfaces, applications & protocols are

consuming the most bandwidth
• Helps to Detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues
• Provide both proactive and reactive mode traffic analysis

Proactive and Active Mode
• In Proactive mode user will define a policy based on network
bandwidth usage
• Once the traffic goes above the specified utilization it will

automatically captures the sFlow from enabled devices
• In reactive mode the user has the option to select a port and perform

MC-LAG
Multi-chassis Link Aggregation
MC-LAG: Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group
M
M Allows a LAG interface to be established across multiple chassis
B - One logical interface across 2x chassis
B
ICL Provides node-level redundancy, multi-homing support, and a
loop-free Layer 2 network without running Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP)
MC-LAG
MC-LAG
Uses Inter-Chassis Control Protocol (ICCP) to exchange control
information between two MC-LAG nodes
LAG LAG
Client device terminates physical links in a link aggregation
Aggregation Aggregation
group (LAG)
Switch 1 Switch 2 - Client device not aware of MC-LAG

Network Director Advantage
• MC-LAG Configuration in cli require lot of parameters, time
consuming and complex
• ND Will be able to help customers configure MC-LAG in few simple

steps
• It will auto configure parameters like BFD timer, Chassis ID, Liveness
Detection, peer IP address, MC-AE id, hold timer
• Supports EX9200, QFX10K, QFX5100, QFX3600

IP Connectivity
IP Connectivity
• Simplify BGP configuration in a datacenter
• Add switches to autonomous system by drag and drop
• Configure Ingress , egress policies and route filters
• Configure EBGP links between multiple AS
• View Routing tables from Network director

Port Profile Enhancements
PORT PROFILE ENHANCEMENTS
Port Profile Problems: Port Profile Enhancements in 2.5:

• Single form with too many details • Port profile is split into two tabs – Quick Setup vs.
• Not easy to create a bare minimal Custom Setup
Switching or IP type Profile.  Quick setup : Create port profile with bare minimal
details (Service type and VLAN)
• Navigation is required between various
Sub Profiles before Port Profile setup  Custom setup: Customization as per needs
(Authentication, COS, Filter and physical port
• Manually assign created Profile to
settings)
move devices to deployment (Not
intuitive) • Inline creation of sub profiles like VLAN, COS and
authorization
• User will be prompted if he or she is interested in
assignment of the profile.
