Your SRX Series firewall is cloud-ready if it has a QR claim code on the front or back panel.

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.
    You can also link your Juniper support account to your organization to view details of all Juniper devices associated with your account. See Integrate Your Juniper Support Account With Your Mist Organization.
  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.
To continue onboarding, proceed to Step 2: Up and Running.

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/.
    You can also link your Juniper support account to your organization to view details of all Juniper devices associated with your account. See Integrate Your Juniper Support Account With Your Mist Organization.
  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.

To complete the onboarding process, see Step 2: Up and Running.

Integrate Your Juniper Support Account With Your Mist Organization

If you have a services contract for your devices, you can view information about the devices in the Mist dashboard. To access this information, you must first link your Juniper support account to your Mist organization:
  1. In the Mist portal, select Organization > Settings.
  2. Under Juniper Account Integration, click Add Juniper Account.
  3. Enter the login credentials for your Juniper account, and then click Add.
Juniper Mist validates the Juniper support account, links it to your Mist organization, and populates the Organization > Inventory > Installed Base page with the devices from the specified account. The information includes device-specific details along with the status information collected from the devices. You can view the Installed Base information and decide to onboard a device to the Mist cloud. For information about the Installed Base page, see View Your Installed Base.
