    Your SSR1500 uses port MGMT (mgmt-0/0/0) as the default port to contact Mist for zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). It uses port 2/1 (xe-0/2/1) to connect to the LAN. 1. Connect the MGMT port to an Ethernet link that can assign a DHCP address to the SSR1500 and provide connectivity to the Internet and Mist.
  • Page 7 Enter the Mist Claim Code | 8 To add the SSR1500 to your organization's WAN Edge inventory, you'll need to enter the SSR1500 claim information into Mist. The claim label (QR code sticker) on the front panel has the claim information.
  • Page 8 3. Click Claim WAN Edges in the upper right portion of the inventory screen. 4. Enter the SSR1500 claim code and click Add. 5. Uncheck the Assign claimed WAN Edges to site check box to place the SSR1500 in the inventory. The SSR1500 is assigned to a site later.

  • Page 10: Create A Template

    Create a Template Excellent! Now you have the SSR1500 waiting to be claimed, a network for your LAN, and an Internet application. Next, you need to create a WAN Edge template that ties them all together. Templates are reusable and keep the configuration consistent for every SSR1500 you deploy.
  • Page 11 3. Enter the interface as ge-0/1/0 to designate it as a WAN port. 4. Click Add. Configure the LAN Port Next, associate your LAN network segment with the appropriate port on the SSR1500. Scroll to the LAN section of the template, and click Add LAN. Video: Add LAN Configuration From the Network drop-down menu, select your network segment to associate it with the LAN port.
  • Page 12 Select Server under DHCP to provide DHCP services to endpoints on this network. Give your DHCP server an address pool starting with 192.168.1.100 and ending with 192.168.1.200. Enter 192.168.1.1 as the gateway to be assigned to DHCP clients. Finally, enter the IP addresses for the DNS Servers to be assigned to clients on the network. For example, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4.
  • Page 13 Configure Traffic Steering and Application Policies Your template has the WAN and LAN information. Now, you need to tell the SSR1500 how to use the information to connect users to applications. This is done using traffic steering and application policies.
  • Page 14 2. Click the Assign to Site button, and select the site where you want the template configuration applied. Assign the SSR1500 to a Site After the SSR1500 is onboarded to the Mist cloud, you'll need to assign it to a site so you can begin to manage the configuration and gather data in Mist cloud.

    NOTE: Under Manage Configuration, do not check the Manage Configuration with Mist checkbox for the SSR1500 if it is using Session Smart Router software version 5.4.4. This allows the SSR1500 to reach out to the conductor IP address specified when the site was created to receive configuration information.
