01Wi-Fi Fundamentals
This domain tests the RF and 802.11 mechanics that Mist exposes in its dashboards: how signal, noise, channel width, and security handshakes become the coverage, capacity, and connect metrics you troubleshoot later. Power is logarithmic.
402 words, about 2 min02Juniper Mist WLAN Architecture and Deployment
This domain tests the split between the Mist cloud control/management plane and the data plane, plus the practical steps to bring APs and Mist Edge into service. Mist is a microservices cloud.
359 words, about 2 min03Juniper Mist WLAN Concepts
This domain tests how a Mist WLAN maps an SSID to security, VLAN, and policy, and how WxLAN microsegmentation controls traffic after association. An SSID is the network name; each radio's BSSID is the basic service set identifier clients actually associate to.
332 words, about 2 min04Juniper Mist Network Operations
This domain tests the SLE-driven operating model: how Mist scores user experience, how classifiers point to root cause, and which tools confirm the diagnosis. Mist scores Service Level Expectations per site, including Coverage, Capacity, Roaming, Throughput, Time to Connect, Successful Connect, and AP Health.
310 words, about 2 min05Marvis Virtual Network Assistant
This domain tests what Marvis can answer, how Marvis Actions differ from alarms, and where synthetic testing fits into operations. Answers natural-language queries over Mist telemetry, such as why a client is slow, which APs are down, or where DHCP failures are occurring.
288 words, about 1 min06Juniper Mist Location-based Services (LBS)
This domain tests how Mist delivers location without extra infrastructure, and how to choose between BLE and Wi-Fi location for assets, wayfinding, and analytics. Mist's vBLE-capable APs contain a multi-element (16-antenna) directional BLE array.
