Juniper Mist Edge Deployment Types

Depending on your networking needs, you may want an organization-level Juniper Mist Edge or a site-level Juniper Mist Edge.

  • Organization-level—In this deployment, you have to configure a Mist cluster and a Mist tunnel. Here, all APs with service set identifier (SSID) configuration for tunneling to a Juniper Mist Edge forms a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) tunnel to that device. Note that APs belonging to any site can form this tunnel. See Create Mist Cluster and Create Mist Tunnel (Organization Level) .

  • Site-level—In this deployment, you have to configure a site tunnel under site configuration. The APs with SSID configuration for tunneling to a site forms tunnels only to the Juniper Mist Edges that are in the same site. You can configure Juniper Mist Edge as a Site edge for deployments where traffic must be tunneled at each site due to the underlying network constraints or security concerns.

    See Create Mist Tunnel (Site level).
