WAN Assurance Design Overview

Design Guides

The Juniper® SD-WAN driven by Mist AI™ WAN Assurance solution design guides take administrators through advanced configurations for their hub and spoke Juniper SD-WAN deployment. The Juniper® SRX Series Firewall and Juniper® Networks Session Smart™ Routers have unique guides for high availability and full stack implementations. Juniper’s SD-WAN solution is part of a full stack of AI-driven wired, wireless, and WAN solutions. The below design guides are platform-specific and require users to have completed the Mist WAN Assurance Configuration Guide.

Session Smart WAN Assurance High Availability and Full Stack Design Guide

Session Smart Routers deployed in Juniper SD-WAN driven by Mist AI WAN Assurance redundant/highly available deployment requires a Juniper SD-WAN network configured in the Juniper Session Smart WAN Assurance Configuration Guide. The High Availability Design Guide walks users through creating redundant Session Smart WAN edge devices at both the hub and spoke for device and path failover. See High Availability Design for Session Smart Routers.

Session Smart Routers deployed in a Juniper SD-WAN driven by Mist AI WAN Assurance full stack will follow the Session Smart Full Stack Design Guide. This guide requires a Session Smart Juniper SD-WAN deployment admins who wish to add switches and APs for an end-to-end Juniper full stack of AI-driven wired, wireless, and WAN solutions. See Full Stack Design for Session Smart Routers.

SRX Series Firewall High Availability and Full Stack Design Guide

Juniper SD-WAN driven by Mist AI SRX Series Firewalls in highly available clusters must be deployed in Juniper SD-WAN driven by Mist AI WAN Assurance per the Juniper Mist WAN Configuration Guide. The SRX Series High Availability Design Guide walks users through creating a redundant SRX Series device at WAN edge for device and path failover.

SRX Series Firewalls in Mist WAN Assurance that wish to add the full stack of AI-driven solutions for wired, wireless, and WAN must first have a network deployed following the Mist WAN Configuration Guide. The full stack design guide is for administrators that want switches and APs included in their WAN for an end-to-end Juniper full stack Juniper Mist cloud solution.
