Mist Administrative Logins : Mist administrative logins can utilize Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing administrators to log in using their corporate credentials, enhancing security and ease of access.

Guest User Access : Guest user access cannot use SSO, as SSO is intended for internal users and administrators rather than external guest users who access the network.

SSO Integration Overview

For capacity, coverage, and throughput Service Level Expectations (SLEs) in Mist AI, throughput is measured in Mbps. This unit measures the rate at which data is successfully delivered over the wireless network, providing a clear indication of network performance and user experience. Mist AI tracks these metrics to ensure the network meets the required performance standards.

Service Level Expectations (SLE)

 In Mist organizations, only users who have been granted the "invite Admin" permission have the rights to invite new administrators.

 This permission is specifically assigned to control who can add new administrators, ensuring that only authorized personnel can extend administrative access.

 Managing permissions effectively helps maintain the security and integrity of the organization's network management.

 Reference: Juniper Networks documentation on user roles and permissions within Mist organizations.

Site Level : WLAN objects can be created at the site level, allowing specific configurations for different locations within an organization. This helps in customizing WLAN settings based on the unique requirements of each site.

Org Level : WLAN objects can also be created at the organization level, which provides a standardized configuration that can be applied across multiple sites. This ensures consistency in WLAN settings throughout the entire organization.

 Marvis Actions is a component of the Mist AI platform that provides a dashboard highlighting actionable items. This dashboard is designed to offer insights and recommendations based on the analysis performed by Marvis AI.

 The focus of Marvis Actions is to present users with clear, actionable steps that can improve network performance, resolve issues, and enhance the overall user experience.

 By consolidating relevant information and suggested actions, Marvis Actions helps network administrators efficiently address network challenges and optimize operations.

 Reference: Juniper Networks documentation on Marvis Actions and its role within the Mist AI ecosystem.

When browsing the Marvis Actions page and you click on the "AP Online" Marvis Action, you will see:

Marvis Action Status : This indicates the current state of the action, whether it is in progress, resolved, or another status.

Recommended Action : Marvis will provide a suggested course of action to resolve the issue. This could include steps like configuration changes or other remedial actions.

Cloud-ready Switch : To use the Wired Visibility option in Juniper Mist Wireless Assurance, a cloud-ready switch must be deployed in the network. This ensures that the switch can communicate effectively with the Mist cloud for management and monitoring.

SNMP Protocol Configuration : The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) must be configured on the switch. SNMP enables the monitoring and management of network devices, allowing Mist AI to collect necessary data for visibility and assurance.

 Both greenfield (new, unconfigured) and brownfield (pre-existing, configured) switches can be adopted into the Mist management framework using the "Adopt Switches" button within the Mist UI.

 This process involves bringing the switches under Mist management by applying the necessary configurations and policies from the Mist cloud.

 The adoption process ensures that all switches, regardless of their initial state, are integrated and managed consistently within the Mist ecosystem.

 Reference: Juniper Networks documentation on switch adoption and provisioning using the Mist UI.

Claim Codes : Claim codes are unique to each AP and can be used to claim only one AP at a time. This ensures each device is correctly registered and managed individually within the Mist system.

Activation Codes : Activation codes can be used to claim multiple APs at once, facilitating bulk onboarding and simplifying the setup process for large deployments.
