1. this deploy

   Collector live pull: Aruba, Juniper, MikroTik

   The shop box can pull AOS-CX, Junos REST, and RouterOS the same way it already pulls Meraki, UniFi, and Catalyst. Instant On is never scraped. No WAN sweep from Plesk.

   • ●VENDOR=aruba|juniper|mikrotik on RFC1918. Same POST /api/collector/ingest snapshot.
   • ●A real street switch stays first-building / plant-data-source. Did not invent a Waukesha address.

2. this deploy

   Aruba / Juniper / MikroTik map the same collector snapshot

   Shop collector JSON from Aruba Central / AOS-CX, Juniper EX, and MikroTik RouterOS maps into the same port push as Meraki, UniFi, and Catalyst. Live pull of those three stays a stub until a box on the LAN sees gear. Collector hosts still overlay when the jack walk is missing. Instant On is never scraped.

   • ●Aruba, Juniper, and MikroTik vendor JSON maps MAC, hostname, VLAN, PoE, and LLDP neighbor into POST /api/collector/ingest.
   • ●No-walk overlay: a collector client lands on the closet without a typed jack circuit. LDAP user is still MAC → plant directory, not a live DC bind.
   • ●Meraki / UniFi / Catalyst live pull unchanged. Real switch pull and first-building stay open. Did not restyle frozen OG, rail, or plant lists.

3. this deploy

   Collector overlay classifies clients; replica hook later

   Imported closets classify phones, APs, printers, and PCs from the collector client name. Guest SSIDs are skipped. Remote replica is a documented env hook only — Sign in stays SQL-primary with JSON backup.

   • ●Overlay matches switch FQDNs and names phones / APs / printers / cameras from the controller client. A neighbor phone on a PC stays a workstation.
   • ●Meraki and UniFi skip guest / visitor SSIDs. Neighbor walk does not hop a guest SSID. No WAN sweep from Plesk.
   • ●Aruba / Juniper / MikroTik map a pasted one-shape JSON; live pull stays a stub. Instant On never. Real switch pull is not done.
   • ●LANTERN_DATABASE_REPLICA_URL is parsed and ignored for Sign in. Never delete lantern.json. Did not restyle frozen OG, rail, or plant lists.

4. this deploy

   Collector walks unknown RFC1918 neighbors

   Shop collector follows LLDP/CDP to other private-LAN switches, not only the chassis you named. Phones stay endpoint names. No WAN sweep from Plesk. No guest SSID.

   • ●Catalyst RESTCONF hops rewrite the seed URL onto a neighbor management IP after assertAllowedCollectorTarget.
   • ●Not a live switch pull on a customer street.
