Juniper Mist Wired Assurance
Juniper Mist Wired Assurance, through the Mist UI, can be used to centrally manage all Juniper switches. Wired Assurance gives you full visibility on the devices that comprise your network’s access layer. The Juniper Mist portal provides a user interface to access your architecture through the AI-driven cloud services with your Juniper Mist account. You can monitor, measure, and get alerts on key compliance metrics on the wired network. This includes switch version, power over ethernet (PoE) compliance, switch-AP affinity, and virtual LAN (VLAN) insights.
Juniper Switch Onboarding to the Mist Cloud
Wired Assurance, through the Mist UI, is used to build a Campus Fabric IP Clos from the ground up. This includes the following:
- Assignment of point-to-point (P2P) links between all layers of the campus fabric.
- Assignment of unique BGP AS numbers per device participating in the underlay and overlay.
- The creation of Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instances allows you to logically segment traffic. This also includes the assignment of new or existing VLANs to each representative VRF.
- IP addressing of each L3 gateway Integrated Routing and Bridging (IRB) assigned to the access layer.
- IP addressing of each lo0.0 loopback.
- Configuration of routing policies for underlay and overlay connectivity.
- Optimized Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) settings for P2P underlay, L3 IRB, and ESI-LAG bundles.
- Downloadable connection table (.csv format) that can be used by those involved in the physical buildout of the campus fabric.
- Graphical interface depicting all devices with BGP peering and physical link status.
