Features and benefits

Tunneling microservices

This service lets you make a seamless transition, moving from an

existing centralized data plane with legacy controller architectures

to the modern Juniper Mist microservices cloud, without impacting

network design.

The APs use standards-based L2TPv3 technology or IPsec in a

teleworker scenario to tunnel traffic to and from the Juniper Mist

Edge for selected WLANs. This provides the network design

flexibility to use a combination of distributed and centralized data

planes, where needed, to meet customer requirements. A

deployment with Juniper Mist Edge can support locally bridged and

tunneled WLANs.

The service lets you preserve the VLAN configuration at your edge

switches while transitioning to a Mist microservices cloud

architecture. You accomplish this by tunneling your traffic through a

centralized cluster of Juniper Mist Edge devices while maintaining

the ability to separate SSIDs and users onto different VLANs.

The service also supports seamless mobility for devices running

latency-sensitive applications, allowing them to maintain

performance as they roam across the campus. A Juniper Mist Edge

cluster will operate intelligently to deliver scalable and reliable

performance by optimizing broadcast and multicast traffic delivery.

Configuration of the tunnels is also simplified through the power of

the Juniper Mist cloud and its Zero Touch Provisioning capabilities.
