Deploy Your Wireless Network

Prerequisites

Before you can configure your wireless network or onboard your devices, you need to complete these tasks in the Juniper Mist™ portal:

• Create your organization.

• Set up at least one site, and activate your subscriptions.

• Configure your firewall to allow outbound Juniper Mist traffic.

Recommended, but not required before you can configure your wireless network:

• Add user accounts for other personnel who are working with you to deploy Juniper Mist. You can even enable limited access for the personnel who are installing devices.

• Set up other security options as needed. For example, manage certificates, disable Juniper Mist support access, or enable Single Sign-On.

WLAN Setup

Set up your WLAN templates and WLANs. Configure settings such as security, radio frequency, rate limits, QoS, and more.

For all deployments, we recommend using WLAN templates. Templates streamline your tasks and ensure consistency. Future operations are made easier, because you can quickly update your template, while Juniper Mist applies the changes across all associated sites.

If you have multiple sites and device types, you can use RF templates and device profiles to streamline configuration and deployment.

By doing so, you ensure consistent settings across sites. As with WLAN templates, Juniper Mist applies any changes across all associated sites and devices.
