Figure 1: Replace a Standalone WAN Edge device
The Juniper Mist portal displays a list of supported models available in the Inventory
page in an unassigned state.
After you click Replace, allow about 15 minutes to complete the
replacement procedure. Mist copies the configuration of the replaced WAN Edge device to
the new device. The device you replaced continues to be part of the site in an
unassigned state.
Note: Replacing a device causes minimal impact on network services.
Therefore, we recommend that you plan to do this task during a maintenance window.
