Step 1: Begin

This guide walks you through the simple steps to get a new cloud-ready Juniper Networks® SSR120 router up and running in the Juniper Mist™ cloud portal.

Meet the SSR120

The Juniper Networks SSR120 network appliance is part of the Juniper® Session Smart™ Routing portfolio. The SSR120 features four 1 GbE ports and two 1 GbE RJ-45/SFP combo ports.

The SSR120 runs the FIPS 140-2 Level 1 compliant Juniper® Session Smart™ Routing (SSR) software, which provides secure and resilient WAN connectivity.

The SSR120 is available in models with or without LTE support.

Onboarding the SSR120

The SSR120 comes ready to install and manage using the Juniper Mist™ Cloud portal.

You can onboard one or more routers using your computer, or a single router using your mobile phone.
