Juniper Mist Wired Assurance

Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is the only cloud-native and AI-Native solution for enterprise switching. It sets a new standard for network management and access-layer switching with AI-Native operations, enabling scale, agility, automation, visibility, and assured experiences. We believe it played an important role in Juniper being named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure for the fourth time in a row. The Juniper Mist cloud streamlines provisioning, deployment, and management of switches and campus fabrics, while Mist AI™ simplifies operations, improves MTTR, and enables true visibility into the performance of connected devices.

Cloud-native EX Series Switches combined with Mist AI deliver insights into switch health and pre- and post-connection service-level metrics.

Key Features


  • Design, deploy, and manage Juniper EX Series Switches from the Juniper Mist cloud
  • Configure and scale sites and switches using templates and port profiles 
  • Easily deploy firmware upgrades with zero downtime from the Juniper Mist cloud
  • Uncover visibility of network experience with wired service level expectations (SLEs)
  • Build and deploy campus fabric architectures in minutes based on intent
  • Use AI-Native insights to learn exactly how switches are performing
  • Get proactive root-cause identification and enable self-driving actions with Wired Marvis Actions
  • Leverage network rewind capabilities with dynamic packet capture.
  • Leverage open APIs for third-party integration and automation across multivendor environments

Features + Benefits

Easily configure cloud-native, zero-touch provisioning (ZTP)-enabled EX Series Switches with an activation code for plug-and-play capabilities. Create consistent, streamlined configurations and universal templates and profiles from the cloud. Once templates and profiles are established, implement colorless ports (dynamic port profiles) so devices automatically inherit the right configurations. Standardize and scale deployments with flexibility. Accelerate time to deploy, minimize config errors, reduce truck rolls, and streamline efficiencies. And easily manage firmware updates with zero downtime.

Understand exactly how your wired network is performing, with no more guesswork about the quality of experience for users, wired devices, and IoT endpoints and whether you’re meeting service-level expectations (SLEs). Pre- and post-connection performance SLEs provide insight into network throughput, number of successful connects, switch health, and switch bandwidth.

Build and deploy EVPN/VXLAN-based campus fabrics in minutes, through the Juniper Mist cloud. Simply select devices, choose topology (EVPN multihoming, core-distribution campus fabric, and campus fabric IP Clos), and apply intent. Campus fabrics implement network microsegmentation using group-based policy that leverages the underlying VXLAN technology. Deliver improved experiences for both operator, and end users and devices, with rapidly reduced deployment time.

The Marvis Virtual Network Assistant (VNA) transforms the way IT teams interact with enterprise networks. Marvis includes a unique suite of features and capabilities that enable IT teams to pinpoint “needle in the haystack” issues impacting user experience and leverage self-driving actions for successful troubleshooting. For example, Marvis Action extensions for wired include missing VLANs, bad cables, negotiation mismatch, loop detection, port flap, high CPU, port stuck, traffic anomaly, misconfigured ports, and traffic loops. Marvis Minis for wired extends our unique AI-Native Networking Digital Experience Twin capabilities to wired networks, enabling proactive diagnosis of authentication issues.

Dynamic packet capture (dPCAP) proactively captures packets at the time of a bad incident and stores the data in the Juniper Mist cloud. Our network rewind capabilities enable operators to easily diagnose intermittent issues that were previously almost impossible to identify , enabling faster MTTR and fewer truck rolls.

Ensure optimal switch operations with key health metrics such as firmware compliance, missing VLANs, and switch-Wi-Fi access point (AP) affinity in multivendor environments, when paired with Juniper wireless APs.

Open APIs means no vendor lock-in

Harness the power of 100% open and programmable APIs to fully automate the switch activation, onboarding, and configuration processes. You can integrate with third-party systems like ServiceNow and Splunk, which support APIs for automated ticketing, troubleshooting, and more.

Gain valuable insights into your wired network by analyzing up to 30 days of data. Mist Wired Assurance simplifies the process of extracting network insights across your enterprise, making it easier to align your network resources more effectively with changing requirements.
