Onboard One SRX Series Firewall Using the Mist AI Mobile App

From your mobile phone:
  1. Download and install the Mist AI app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
  2. Open the Mist AI app and log in using your account credentials.
  3. Select your organization.
  4. Tap Claim Devices to Org and focus the camera on the QR code. The app automatically claims the SRX Series firewall and adds it into your organization's inventory.
  5. On the Organization screen, tap Device Inventory → WAN Edges → Unassigned.
  6. Select the new SRX firewall. Then tap Primary Site and tap Assign.

Onboard One or More SRX Series Firewalls Using a Web Browser

Onboarding multiple SRX Series firewalls—When you purchase multiple SRX Series firewalls, we provide you with an activation code along with your PO information. Make a note of this code.

Onboarding a single SRX Series firewall—Locate the QR code on your SRX Series firewall and jot down the alphanumeric claim code directly above it.

  1. Log in to your account at https://manage.mist.com/.
  2. Go to Organization → Inventory → WAN Edges and click Claim WAN Edges.
  3. Enter the Activation code or Claim code.
  4. Confirm that Assign claimed WAN Edges to site is checked and Primary Site appears below the checkbox.
  5. Select Manage configuration with Mist.
  6. Enter a Root Password. This password becomes the root password on each claimed SRX Series firewall.
  7. Click Claim.
    If you claim multiple firewalls, expect a slight delay for the WAN Edges Claim Results window to pop up.
    Review the information and Close the window.
  8. View your new firewall or firewalls on the Inventory page. The status should show Disconnected.
