Step 1: Begin

In this guide, we provide a simple, three-step path, to quickly get the Juniper Networks® SSR1500 appliance up and running on Juniper Mist™ cloud. You can on-board a single device using your mobile phone, or one or more devices using your computer. Once on-board, we'll walk you through the steps to create a basic configuration. You'll need your Juniper Mist WAN Assurance subscription and your login credentials for the Juniper Mist portal.

Note:

Before you begin, you must set up your organization and sites, and activate your subscriptions. For more information, see Quick Start: Mist.

Meet the Cloud-Ready SSR1500

The SSR1500 is a 1 U fixed configuration appliance that's ideal for for extra large data center or campus deployments. Powered by the Juniper® Session Smart Router (SSR) software, the SSR1500 provides secure and resilient WAN connectivity.

The SSR1500 has four 1 GbE ports, twelve 1/10/25 GbE SFP28 ports, a management port (for Mist operations), 512 GB of memory, and a 1 TB enterprise-grade solid-state drive (SSD) for storage.

Claim Your Appliance

The SSR1500 comes ready to manage using the Juniper Mist™ Cloud portal.

To add the SSR1500 to your organization's WAN Edge inventory, you must enter the SSR1500 claim information into Mist. The claim code label (QR code sticker) on the front panel has the claim information.
