In their Tech Field Day Demo, Andy Pearce, Solutions Architect and Matt Witmer, Senior Principal Engineer, showed the capabilities of the Network Resilience Platform. Learn how engineers have the ability to access their connected resources at all times with Smart Out of Band, Failover to Cellular and automation capabilities.
The demonstration showcases three key components: Day Zero automatic enrollment of OpenGear console servers into Lighthouse and deployment of configuration, the use of Routing Information Management Fabric (RIMF) with OSPF, and the integration of external machine-based configuration systems like Ansible with Lighthouse, RIMP, and OSPF. Lighthouse serves as the central management software system, accessible through a service portal where customers claim console servers using device serial numbers. During enrollment, Lighthouse pushes configuration and establishes a VPN tunnel connection with the node. For routed management fabric, OSPF is configured on the node to enable route advertisement to Lighthouse and other enrolled nodes. The demo also highlights the internal network and options within Lighthouse to connect to external routers. The resource catalog provides web and SSH proxies, allowing customers to connect to devices in their infrastructure without deploying a VPN client on their laptops. The use of RMF enables secure and clientless communication between devices across different locations, facilitating remote configuration changes without relying on a client VPN.
