Course Overview
This two-day course teaches students to configure, deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot Juniper Mist™ AI WAN Edge devices deployed in a hub-and-spoke topology. The course summarizes the Juniper Mist AI full-stack solution and how it aligns with enterprise architectures. It is followed by detailed information and lab exercises regarding the operation, configuration, deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting of Juniper Mist AI WAN Edge devices in software-defined WANs (SD-WAN). This course is based on Juniper Mist™ Cloud, which updates bi-weekly. The labs use the virtual SSR version 6.2.4-14r2 and Junos Release 21.3R3.10.
Key topics include Enterprise WAN Edge design principles, device onboarding, basic configuration in the Juniper Mist UI, common configuration tasks, and workflows, operational monitoring with application identification, and device maintenance and troubleshooting within Juniper Mist.
Although the course covers the theory of both platforms, the hands-on labs, basic configuration in the Juniper Mist UI, and the common configuration tasks and workflows are performed with Juniper Networks® SSR Series Routers. Juniper Networks® SRX Series Firewalls are covered in lectures only.
