SSR1400 Device Onboarding

Congratulations on your new Session Smart Routing (SSR) WAN Edge device!

Let's get it set up in the Mist cloud with WAN Assurance. This guide walks you through the simple steps to get a new cloud-ready Juniper Networks® SSR1400 router up and running in the Juniper Mist™ cloud portal. You can onboard a single device using your mobile phone, or one or more devices using your computer. Once onboarded, we'll walk you through the steps to create a basic configuration. You'll need your Juniper Mist WAN Assurance subscription and your login credentials for the Juniper Mist portal. If you have not already activated your subscriptions and set up your organization and sites, please follow the steps in Create a Mist Account and Organization.

Connect Your Device to the Cloud​

Port Connections

Your SSR1400 uses the MGMT port (mgmt-0-0) as a default WAN port to contact Mist for zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). You will also be setting up Port 0/3 (xe-0-3) with a LAN network.

  1. Connect the MGMT port to an Ethernet link capable of providing the device with:
    • DHCP address assignment
    • Connectivity to the Internet and Mist
note

For management, you can connect the SSR1400 to Mist using the MGMT port. You can also connect to Mist from one of the WAN ports only when the MGMT port is disconnected, or does not have a valid DHCP leased address and default route.

  1. Connect port 0/3 to your LAN devices, including:

    • Mist-managed Juniper EX switches
    • Mist APs
    • User devices

  2. Power on the device.

Great job! Your SSR device is now connected to the Mist cloud and awaiting further instructions.

note

When a device is assigned to a site and set to be managed by Mist, upon first connection of the device to the cloud you will be prompted to upgrade to a version of software compatible with Mist. In some initial onboarding cases, this upgrade process may take up to 30 minutes or more.

Onboarding Complete!​

Fantastic, your device is in your inventory! To provision your SSR device with ZTP, log into Mist and configure a template for your SSR.
