Course Overview

This advanced five-day course explores how to configure and manage a distributed enterprise. The distributed enterprise includes Juniper Mist AI solutions for Juniper Mist™ WAN Assurance, Juniper Mist™ Wired Assurance, Juniper Mist™ Wi-Fi Assurance, and Juniper Mist Access Assurance. Users can deploy and manage distributed enterprises from the Juniper Mist™ GUI, automation methods, or a combination of both. Key topics include automation tools and methodologies as applied to Juniper Mist AI solutions. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience with the features of Juniper Networks® EX Series Switches, Juniper Networks® SSR Series Routers, wireless access points, and the Juniper Mist GUI and APIs. Students will also acquire experience with Juniper Mist features in a programmatic way.
