Update Agent

You can update one agent at a time to change its device address, agent profile, packages, and open-options, or you can update multiple agents simultaneously to assign an agent profile.

Update One Agent

  1. From the left navigation menu, navigate to Devices >Managed Devices, click the three dots in the Actions column (right side) for the device that you want to update, then click the Edit button in the Agent menu.

Key columns include Management IP, Device Key, Device Profile, Hostname, OS, State, Comms, Acknowledged, Blueprint, Type, Agent Profile, and Apstra Version. Actions menu on each row, Edit option highlighted. Top buttons for creating new agents and accessing Advanced Settings.
    The Edit Onbox (or Offbox) System Agent(s) dialog opens.
  2. Make your changes (device address, platform, username, password, agent profile, packages, open-options, as applicable).
    CAUTION:

    Changing a user requires completely re-onboarding the device. Changing the password involves several steps that are not straightforward (changing the password on the device, device agents, and pristine config). If you need to change a password, we recommend contacting Juniper Support.
