Juniper Wired Assurance, also includes a range of Marvis Actions. For example, Marvis AI Assistant isolates wired clients failing to connect and identifies bad network cables connected to ports, mismatched port settings, L2 loops, DHCP failure scopes, wired clients failing to authenticate, and continuous port flaps with an option to also disable the port. (Users also have the option to ask Marvis AI Assistant to automate the disablement of port flaps).
Marvis AI Assistant also automatically adds missing VLAN tags, fixes incorrect port mode configuration, and isolates persistently failing wireless clients. It also identifies missing VLANs from third-party switches.
For Juniper Wi-Fi Assurance, Marvis Actions:
- Helps isolate access points (APs) that missed a firmware upgrade in any given site
- Provides root causes and failure scopes when an AP goes offline (site or switch down scenario)
- Isolates persistently failing wireless clients
- Detects coverage holes, APs, or locations with insufficient capacity
- Identifies APs connected to a bad cable
- Detects missing VLANs
Marvis AI Assistant also includes unique configuration change capabilities that provide insights into issues with upstream services and devices, such as radius, DHCP, DNS servers, and ARP gateways.
Root cause analysis not only includes server failures, but it also includes complete failures seen on an AP, switch, WLAN, or across a site or organization.
Additionally, Marvis AI Assistant delivers AI-native support with proactive return material authorization (RMA) for unhealthy Juniper access points. It eliminates the manual troubleshooting of checkpoints initiated by support teams, delivering significant savings in time and effort while boosting the overall experience of users, devices, and clients.
