Creating Resources

The resource management system in Juniper Apstra enables you to create resource pools for ASNs, VNIs, and IP addresses. You can create them during the design phase or when you need them during the build phase. When you assign resources to managed devices in your network blueprint, Apstra pulls from the pool you specify. Where you assign a specific network identifier, you have the option of assigning a resource individually.

Navigate to Resources > IP Pools click Create IP Pool

You can create an IP pool with one or more ranges. This IP pool will have two ranges.

Create a pool called my-pool and set the first subnet to 10.1.0.0/24. Click Add a subnet when finished.

Add a subnet of 10.1.1.0/24 to your IP pool and click Create when finished.

Click Create IP Pool and create a pool to provide IP addresses to loopback interfaces on spine devices called spine-loopback and set the subnet to 192.168.0.0/24 then select Create Another?and click Create when finished.

Create a pool called leaf-loopback and set the subnet to 192.168.1.0/24, select Create Another?, and click Create when finished.

Create a pool called spine-leaf and set the subnet to 10.100.0.0/24, select Create Another? , and click Create when finished.

Create a pool called external-links and set the subnet to 10.200.0.0/24 and click Create when finished.

Creating an Autonomous System Number pool is like creating an IP pool. You will create an ASN pool now so that the Apstra server can pull one from that pool as it needs one.
