3) J uniper Networks 18th Apr’11 - 14th Dec 2012

Worked in DCBG as S oftware Engineer level IV. I was part of Stratus fabric controller team that forms an important component for the QFabric data center solution. It takes care of validating, transforming and scattering the configuration to different devices and interpreting and consolidating the results. This enables user to configure the system with the same easy to understand JUNOS CLI that runs on all juniper network elements. It also provides some additional functions such as state management and persistence etc. Features worked on so far:

● Virtual-node

It enables user to intergrate MX series routers with QFabric.

MX-SFC Id allocation protocol

virtual-node to chassis configuration transformation

shared vlan and routing-instance configuration

Inventory update

● User configured vlan-domains

By introducing local and global vlan domain concept, it becomes possible to overcome 12 bit L2 domain id restriction of PFE up to certain extent.

dynamic resource pools

resource pool defragmentation

commit time domain validations

software upgrade and data migration

● Node-group filtering for operational commands

● User commit result details and RPC time stamp logs 4) F ujitsu Network Communications 3rd Mar’08 - 15th Apr’11 Worked in FNC as a S oftware Engineer level III.
