Connect an AP61 to the Network and Power It On
When you power on an AP and connect it to the network, the AP is automatically onboarded to the Juniper Mist cloud. The AP onboarding process involves the following steps:
-
When you power on an AP, the AP obtains an IP address from the DHCP server on the untagged VLAN.
-
The AP performs a Domain Name System (DNS) lookup to resolve the Juniper Mist cloud URL. See Firewall Configuration for the specific cloud URLs.
-
The AP establishes an HTTPS session with the Juniper Mist cloud for management.
-
The Mist cloud then provisions the AP by pushing the required configuration after the AP is assigned to a site.
To ensure that your AP has access to the Juniper Mist cloud, ensure that the required ports on your Internet firewall are open. See Firewall Configuration.
