SDX 6.4.x Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide > Configuring a Simulated Router Driver for Testing > Configuring Simulated Router Drivers

Configuring Simulated Router Drivers

You configure a simulated router in the directory in the same way that you configure a real router.

Before you configure a simulated router driver, make sure that you configure an interface classification script for the simulated router.

See SDX Subscribers and Subscriptions Guide, Chapter 4, Classifying Interfaces and Subscribers.

You also need to configure the SAE to instantiate a simulated router driver for each simulated router that you create.

You can configure a session store for simulated router drivers. The driver uses the session store to store subscriber sessions, service sessions, and policies.

For a description of session store fields, see SDX Network Guide: SAE, Juniper Networks Routers, and NIC, Chapter 2, Configuring the SAE.

To use SDX Configuration Editor to create simulated router driver instances:

1. In the navigation pane, select an SAE configuration file for a POP.
2. Select the Router tab, and expand the Simulated Driver section.
3. In the Simulated Driver section next to the Create a New Instance of button, select Driver, and click Create a New Instance of.

The Create New Instance dialog box appears.

4. Assign a name to the instance, and click OK.

The new instance appears in the Simulated Driver area.

5. In the section for the new simulated router driver, edit or accept the default values for the fields.

See Simulated Driver Fields.

6. Select File > Save.
7. Right-click the configuration file, and select SDX System Configuration > Export to LDAP Directory.

Simulated Driver Fields

In SDX Configuration Editor, you can modify the following fields in the Simulated Driver section of the Router pane in an SAE configuration file.

Driver Type

• Type of device that the simulated driver simulates.
• Value—JUNOS, JUNOSe, or PCMM
• Default—JUNOS
• Property name—Router.sim.<simulated router name>.type

Router Version

• Version of the router to simulate.
• Value—Software version that is sent by the router; for example, 6.4
• Default—No value
• Property name—Router.sim.<simulated router name>.version

Router Address

• Address of the router that is available for router initialization scripts.
• Value—IP address
• Default—10.0.0.1
• Property name—Router.sim.<simulated router name>.routerIp

Transport Router

• Name of a virtual router that is used to connect to the SAE. This value is passed to the router initialization script. It is not supported on the JUNOS routing platform.
• Value—Name of a virtual router
• Default—No value
• Property name—Router.sim.<simulated router name>.transportRouter
