BEEP Connection Between JUNOS Routing Platforms and the SAE
For information about which JUNOS routing platforms and releases a particular SDX release supports, see the SDX Release Notes.
The SAE interacts with a JUNOS software process, referred to as the SDX software process in this documentation, on the JUNOS routing platform. The SAE and the SDX software process communicate using the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP). You can secure the BEEP connection by using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
When the SDX software process establishes a BEEP session for the SAE, the SAE configures an interface on the JUNOS routing platform. The SAE builds the configuration for an interface using the policies stored in the directory. If the policies are subsequently modified, the SAE builds a new configuration and reconfigures the interface on the JUNOS routing platform.The JUNOS routing platform stores data about interfaces and services that the SAE manages in a configuration group called sdx. You must create this configuration group on the JUNOS routing platform.
