Explore Juniper Mist Features

Get familiar with a few features that you might find especially useful.

Now that your wired network is up and running, explore other Juniper Mist™ features to meet your business needs.

Here are some features we think you'll find especially helpful.

• Switch Dashboard—Track the switch performance against compliance parameters. See:

  • Switch Metrics

  • Switch Details

  • Switch Utilities

• Wired Service Level Expectations (SLEs)—Use the SLE dashboards to assess the network's user experience and resolve any issues proactively. See Wired SLEs.

• Port Profiles—Port profiles provide a convenient way to manually or automatically provision switch interfaces. See Static and Dynamic Port Profiles.

• Campus Fabric—Juniper Networks campus fabrics provide a single, standards-based Ethernet VPN-Virtual Extensible LAN (EVPN-VXLAN) solution that you can deploy on any campus. You can deploy campus fabrics on a two-tier network with a collapsed core or a campus-wide system that involves multiple buildings with separate distribution and core layers. To get started, see Determine a Campus Fabric Topology (EX and QFX Series Switches).

• Group Based Policy—A group-based policy (GBP) helps you achieve microsegmentation and macrosegmentation, for example to secure data and assets, in Virtual extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) architecture. See Configure BGP on Switches via Mist (EX and QFX Series Switches).

• Virtual Chassis—The Virtual Chassis technology enables you to connect multiple individual switches together to form one logical unit and to manage the individual switches as a single unit. See Virtual Chassis on Mist Overview (EX and QFX Series Switches).

Note that the following features are currently not supported on CX Series switches:

• Campus fabric configuration

• Device-level variables

• Aggregate route support

• Private VLAN

• DHCP Option 81 (dynamic DNS)

• BGP configuration and telemetry

• Routing policies

• Switch Policy filter-id (From Radius AVP - "Filter ID") as a source label

• Protection of Routing Engine

• Self Driving Marvis Actions except for port stuck

• Rogue DHCP Server Detected Marvis Action

• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

• Packet capture on CPU and LAG interfaces (or members of LAG)

• Dynamic packet capture

• Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) configuration through Mist. A VSF stack must be fully formed (auto stacking) and operational before you onboard it to Mist.

• Configurable VRF on OOBM port

• EVPN/VXLAN-based Group Based Policy (GBP) Tags

• Remote port mirroring

• Storm control SLE

• Port description from port profile
