Personnel: Andrew Pearce, Matthew Witmer

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.

In his Tech Field Day session, Daniel Cecalacean, Senior Product Manager, discussed the Lighthouse Software Solution. Providing one source of truth, centralized provisioning and scalable out of band, his session covered the capabilities of Lighthouse.

He also highlighted the latest technical enhancement of Lighthouse – a robust, standards-based management fabric for IP-based connectivity. The RMF (Routed Management Fabric) allows engineers to leverage Opengear’s Network Resilience Platform to deliver the best experience on the First Day. Leading to the formation of a network source of truth, is creates the foundation for automation and troubleshooting.

Daniel Cecalacean discusses Opengear’s evolution beyond its traditional out-of-band role. Opengear has been serving customers in the out-of-band space for two decades, offering innovative solutions like True Failover to cellular and smart auto band. However, the company aims to go beyond being an insurance policy and expand its capabilities to assist in everyday scenarios. To achieve this, Opengear introduces RMF, a standard-based management fabric that enables IP-based connectivity. RMF serves as a network overlay, providing routed IP access in addition to Opengear’s existing serial functionality. This enhancement allows Opengear to step outside its core competency and offer more comprehensive solutions.
