• Connect an Ethernet cable from the data out port on the power injector to the Eth0+PoE port on
the AP.
2. Wait for a few minutes for the AP to boot completely.
When the AP connects to the Juniper Mist portal, the LED on the AP turns green, which indicates
that the AP is connected and onboarded to the Juniper Mist cloud.
Aer you've onboarded the AP, you can congure the AP according to your network requirements.
See the Juniper Mist Wireless Conguraon Guide.
A few things to keep in mind about your AP:
• When an AP boots for the rst me, it sends a Dynamic Host Conguraon Protocol (DHCP)
request on the trunk port or nave VLAN. You can recongure the AP to assign it to a dierent
VLAN aer you've onboarded the AP (that is, the AP state shows as Connected in the Juniper
Mist portal. Ensure that you reassign the AP to a valid VLAN because, on reboong, the AP sends
DHCP requests only on that VLAN. If you connect the AP to a port on which the VLAN doesn't
exist, Mist displays a No IP address found error.
• We recommend that you avoid using a stac IP address on an AP. The AP uses the congured
stac informaon whenever it reboots, and you cannot recongure the AP unl it connects to the
network. If you need to correct the IP address, you'll need to reset the AP to the factory-default
conguraon.
If you must use a stac IP address, we recommend that you use a DHCP IP address during the
inial setup. Before assigning a stac IP address, ensure that:
• You've reserved the stac IP address for the AP.
• The switch port can reach the stac IP address.
Rename a Juniper Access Point in the Mist Portal
You can rename the APs on your network to easily idenfy the APs. Use the Juniper Mist portal to
automate the naming of APs by using variable elds in the name format. You can oponally include the
site name, MAC address of the AP, and an incremental counter value in the name. Mist automacally
updates these values when you add or rename an AP.
You can rename mulple APs at a me. To rename APs in the Mist portal:
1. Navigate to the Access Points page on the Mist portal.
2. Select the APs that you want to rename.
3. Click Rename in the More menu in the top-right corner.
