    • The Mist cloud then provisions the AP by pushing the required configuration after the AP is assigned to a site. To ensure that your AP has access to the Juniper Mist cloud, ensure that the required ports on your Internet firewall are open. See Firewall Configuration.
  • Page 33 • We recommend that you avoid using a static IP address on an AP. The AP uses the configured static information whenever it reboots, and you cannot reconfigure the AP until it connects to the network. If you need to correct the IP address, you'll need to reset the AP to the factory-default configuration. If you must use a static IP address, we recommend that you use a DHCP IP address during the initial setup.
