Step 2: Up and Running

Install the Switch in a Rack

The rack installation and power-on procedures vary slightly for each switch. For instructions specific to your switch, see the applicable hardware guide on the Juniper Mist Supported Hardware page.

Connect to the Network and Power On the Switch

Note:

Some tasks in the following procedure require you to configure or connect to services in your local network. We do not provide instructions for configuring or locating these services.
  1. Ensure that a DHCP server is reachable.

    In addition to providing an IP address to the switch, your DHCP server must provide the following information:

    • A default gateway address

    • An NTP server address

    • A DNS server address

    • The switch's local domain name

  2. Open ports TCP 2200 and TCP 443 on your firewall to allow inbound and outbound communication between the switch and the Mist cloud portal.
  3. Connect an Ethernet cable to any traffic (revenue) port on the switch and to your local network.
  4. Connect power to the switch.
  5. Wait for a few minutes for the switch to boot completely.

Congratulations! The switch should now appear as green/connected in the Mist portal. You've successfully onboarded your cloud-ready switch.
