General WAN Edge Settings

Use this information to enter the settings at the top of a WAN Edge template, hub profile, or device configuration.

Navigating to a Template, Profile, or Device Configuration

To get started with these settings, you need to go to the appropriate configuration page:

  • For a WAN Edge template—From the left menu, select Organization > WAN > WAN Edge Templates. Click a template, or create one.

  • For a hub profile—From the left menu, select Organization > WAN > Hub Profiles. Click a profile, or create one.

  • For an individually managed WAN Edge device—From the left menu, select WAN Edges > WAN Edges. Click a device.

General Settings Overview

These settings appear near the top of the screen when you're viewing a WAN edge template, a hub profile, or a device configuration.

Configuration interface for network setup with sections for IP addresses, VLAN IDs, NTP servers, DNS settings, syslog logging, and secure edge connectors.

Support for IPv6

You can use IPv6 addresses to configure the network overlay for the WAN Edge device, as well as other settings. These include the WAN interface, the LAN interface, Application Policies that use IPv6 applications, as well as NTP and DNS services.

On the WAN Edge Insights page, statistics are available for selected IPv6 events and properties.

Note that IPv6 support varies between SSR and SRX devices, and not every IP address field available in the Mist dashboard necessarily supports IPv6 addresses. The Mist dashboard itself will provide the best indication of whether or not IPv6 is supported in a given circumstance. In addition to the Mist dashboard, you can use the Mist API to enable IPv6 support and configure the overlay.

For the WAN connection to the Mist cloud, only the IPv4 address is supported.

Field Descriptions

Table 1: Settings in the General Section
Fields Description
Info The name of the template, hub profile, or devices

Applies to Sites (for templates) or

Applies to Device, Hub Group(for hub profiles)

See:
IP Configuration (Out Of Band) The out of band management details to manage the device.
  • IP Address—Specify the type of IP address assignment: DHCP or Static. If you select static, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
  • VLAN ID—Enter a value between 1 and 4094.

For a high availability cluster, enter the same IP Address type and VLAN ID for both nodes, but different IP addresses.
NTP Enter the IP address or hostname of the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. NTP allows network devices to synchronize their clocks with a central source clock on the Internet.
DNS Settings Enter a comma-separated list of IP addresses of Domain Name System (DNS) servers. Network devices use the DNS-name servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
Syslog Optionally, enable system logging. For help, see Syslog Options.
Secure Edge Connectors

Secure Edge performs traffic inspection for the WAN edge devices managed by Juniper Mist Cloud portal. This section of the page displays all the defined providers. To add more, click Add Provider. Complete all required fields, and then click Add. For help, see Juniper Mist Secure Edge Connector Overview.

Note: For the Secure Edge Connector configuration to take effect, you'll also need to enable an application policy with traffic steering. For help, see Traffic Steering Rules.
