Step 1: Begin
This guide walks you through the simple steps to get a new cloud-ready EX or QFX switch up and running in the Juniper Mist AI cloud portal. You can onboard one or more switches using your computer, or a single switch using your mobile phone.
Before you begin, you must set up your organization and sites, and activate your subscriptions. For more information, see Quick Start: Mist.
We show you how to complete two different ZTP-based onboarding methods:
-
To onboard a single switch using your mobile phone, see Onboard One Switch Using the Mist AI Mobile App.
-
To onboard one or more switches using your computer, see Onboard One or More Switches Using a Web Browser.
The procedures in this quick start guide are intended for new (greenfield) switches. For onboarding (adopting) existing, in-service (brownfield), switches into Mist, see Adopting a Juniper EX Switch.
For onboarding procedures using the Junos OS CLI, see the applicable hardware guide on the Juniper Mist Supported Hardware page.
Cloud-Ready Switches
The Juniper Networks® Cloud-Ready Switches come ready to install and manage using the Juniper Mist Cloud portal at https://manage.mist.com. Your switch is cloud-ready if it has a QR claim code on the front or back panel.
The onboarding procedures described in this guide apply only to cloud-ready EX and QFX switches. See Juniper Mist Supported Hardware for a list of EX and QFX switches.
Onboard One Switch Using the Mist AI Mobile App
Onboard One or More Switches Using a Web Browser
Onboarding multiple switches—When you purchase multiple switches, we provide you with an activation code along with your PO information. Make a note of this code.
Onboarding a single switch—Locate the QR code on your switch and make a note of the alphanumeric claim code directly above it.
To complete the onboarding process, see Step 2: Up and Running.
