Adopt a Switch from Your Juniper Installed Base

Follow these steps to adopt a previously onboarded switch into your Juniper Mist™ organization.

If you integrated your Juniper account with your Juniper Mist™ account, you need to adopt the switches into your Juniper Mist organization.

For virtual devices such as a vJunos-switch or legacy devices that predate the use of Mist claim codes on the hardware, you need to adopt, rather than claim them. Note that if a VM has been claimed in one environment, such as Global02, it may not be available from the inventory or installed base of another environment or organization because the MAC address may still be attached to the original environment. To prevent this, be sure to release the device from the original environment, or recreate the virtual device, which will generate a new virtual MAC for it.

  1. From the left menu, select Organization > Admin > Inventory.
  2. Click Installed Base at the top center of the page, and then click Adopt Switches at the top right.
    locations of the Installed Base and Adopt Switches button
    Note:

    You also can adopt switches on the Switches page.

  3. In the Switch Adoption window, follow the on-screen instructions to check the prerequisites and copy the code. Then apply the copied CLI commands to your switch.
  4. Click X in the top right corner of the Switch Adoption window.
    Note:

    For detailed instructions, go to the Juniper Mist Supported Hardware page, and find the Quick Start Guide for your device.
