32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

Mist organization

Top-level container in the Mist cloud that holds inventory, subscriptions, admins, templates, and all sites; devices are claimed into an organization before being assigned to a site.

Site

Configuration and data boundary inside an organization, with its own timezone, country code, WLANs, and SLE metrics; each device belongs to exactly one site.

Site country code

Regulatory setting on a site that determines which channels and maximum transmit power APs may use; an incorrect value can cause regulatory violations and channel availability problems.

Mist subscription

Per-device license for an AP, switch, or gateway, sold in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 10 year terms; claimed into an organization and then assigned to an individual device.

Claim code

Code printed on a Juniper Mist device or its packaging, used to add that device to an organization's inventory through the Mist UI or the REST API.

Org WLAN template

Organization-level WLAN definition pushed to every site bound to the template; the resulting SSID cannot be edited locally at the site while the binding exists.

Installer role

Limited admin role that can claim devices and assign them to sites, but does not grant access to network configuration, monitoring data, or organization billing.

Service Level Expectation

Measurable success metric Mist computes per site from classifiers, with a configurable target threshold and drill-down into the specific reasons clients failed.

Coverage SLE

Measures whether clients at a site have adequate signal; failures are classified as weak signal, low SNR, or non-Wi-Fi interference and are usually fixed through RF planning.

Time to Connect SLE

Tracks the interval between a client starting to connect and successfully passing data, with classifiers separating association, authentication, DHCP, and DNS failures.

RF template

Organization-level collection of radio settings such as channel and power plans, band steering, per-band radio enablement, and minimum basic rates applied to sites.

WxLAN policy

Label-based microsegmentation rule that allows or denies traffic between user or device labels and resource labels, applied without redesigning VLAN assignments.

Mist Edge

On-premises appliance that terminates tunnels from APs and switches so user traffic stays local while management, assurance, and AI features remain in the Mist cloud.

vBLE

Virtual Bluetooth LE capability that uses BLE radios inside Mist APs for asset visibility and location-based engagement; it requires the corresponding subscription.

Switch template

Organization-level switch configuration applied to member switches at bound sites; it defines ports, VLANs, Virtual Chassis, and other settings delivered from the cloud.

Port profile

Reusable set of switch port settings, including VLAN membership, PoE, speed and duplex, and 802.1X, assigned to one or many ports at a site.

Virtual Chassis

Juniper switch stacking group managed as a single logical device in Mist; member ports are addressed by member ID and configured through the switch template.

Mist NAC

Mist access control for wired and wireless clients where the switch or AP acts as authenticator, using the Mist cloud or an external RADIUS server for policy decisions.

Switch ZTP

Zero touch provisioning: a factory-default Juniper switch whose serial is already claimed contacts Mist at boot and automatically downloads its assigned configuration.

Wired Assurance

Subscription feature that gives Mist visibility into switch health, port statistics, and wired client experience, surfaced through SLEs, topology, and Marvis analysis.

Marvis

Mist's AI-driven virtual network assistant, which uses SLE data, device events, client telemetry, and configuration to answer natural-language questions and suggest fixes.

Marvis Actions

Prioritized issue list at organization or site scope; each action shows severity, affected devices or clients, suspected root cause, and a recommended remediation.

Marvis Minis

Automated synthetic tests that run continuously from APs and the cloud to detect DHCP, DNS, RADIUS, and WAN problems before real users experience them.

Marvis Conversations

Chat interface where an administrator asks natural-language questions about clients, devices, or sites and receives root-cause analysis with recommended next steps.

Marvis Client

Endpoint agent for Windows, macOS, and mobile devices that streams client-side Wi-Fi and connectivity telemetry to Marvis, covering issues infrastructure alone cannot see.

SLE classifier

The specific sub-reason a client failed an SLE, such as DHCP failure, weak signal, or authentication error; classifiers drive Marvis root-cause analysis and drill-down charts.

Mist API base URL

Regional HTTPS endpoint such as https://api.gc1.mist.com/api/v1 or https://api.eu.mist.com/api/v1; the region hosting the organization determines which host serves its data.

API token auth

Mist REST authentication using the header 'Authorization: Token <token>'; each token is scoped to an organization or site and inherits the creator's role.

Webhook topics

Subscription list on a Mist webhook selecting which event types, such as alarms, device-updowns, or audits, are POSTed as JSON to the configured target URL.

Org webhook

Webhook defined at organization level that receives matching events from every site in the organization, unlike a site webhook limited to one site.

Search endpoint

Mist REST endpoint ending in /search that accepts a POST body for server-side filtering, returning only matching records instead of a full collection.

API pagination

Mist list endpoints accept limit (maximum 1000) and page query parameters and return the results with a total count, allowing scripts to iterate large collections.
