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.
