Results Summary and Analysis
For the Secure Data Center Fabric with Juniper SRX JVDE, comprehensive functional testing was performed on devices listed in Validated Platforms and Software section in this document:
- Baseline System Test:
- Add two SRX devices as external generic systems
- Add connectivity templates for underlay BGP sessions from spines to SRX
- Add SRXs also as External Gateway devices to establish overlay BGP for Type5 EVPN routes.
- Operational and Trigger Tests:
- Operational testing of switches was carried out for the
following:
- Daemon failures such as RPD, ppmd, jsrpd
- Reboot devices cause no issues when the devices boot up
- Connectivity tests for the following items were carried out:
- ICL link failure between MNHA nodes
- Link flap between firewall and spine
- Link fails between firewall and spine
- Primary MNHA node fails
- Spine failure
- Resiliency tests for overlay connectivity testing for the below
scenarios:
- Inter VRF Traffic for application identification
- SSL inspection on inter-VRF traffic and VRF to internet traffic
- Infected host and SecIntel feed for inter VRF traffic and VRF to internet traffic
- Destination NAT on North-South traffic.
- Operational testing of switches was carried out for the
following:
Scale Testing numbers are as follows:
| Features | Tested Scale Numbers |
|---|---|
| VLANs VNIs with IRB | 1500 |
| Host per VNI per port | 5 |
| DCI VTEPS | 30 |
| BGP total path | 426468 |
| BGP active path | 213202 |
The scale numbers above are not device maximums; they only reference the scale at which these multidimensional test cases are performed.
Overall, the JVDE validation testing didn’t detect any issues, and all performance parameters were within the threshold and performed as expected. Traffic profiles were tested on SRX4600 for both inter-VRF and external.
