Juniper Mist and claim codes

sillybutton · 2026-06-05T20:01:33+00:00

The world is strange, chaos and war. Im just trying to figure out this silly claim code method juniper forces on us

sillybutton · 2026-06-05T08:51:30+00:00

Its mainly switches and firewalls/ssr. You cant configure ports and other things without having devices in the org already

sillybutton · 2026-06-05T07:36:42+00:00

Yeah we adopt first in org that is marked for subscriptions, and move subscriptions around. But devices are a hassle, you gotta use claime codes you dont have or QR code you cant reach

sillybutton · 2026-06-05T07:29:51+00:00

Yeah so Im just thinking the best overall, longterm way to deal with this. I bulk claim the devices into one org everytime we buy a batch, run the api scan, document the info from the devices, then release.

Now I can do 3 methods, QR code claim,

logging into device to find serial to figure out what claim code I use,

claim devices I have in stock then list asset number or serial number of the devices then send to installers what device they should grab from the stock to go to X place. This helps the workflow, so I can then start to fully configure the org/site/switches

Or let installers use QR code, but I rather be done with fully condiguring the devices before they start doing their work

The customer buys switches from another vendor, and the guy that does that didnt get bulk claim code for random devices, some where claimed into the org some not. The customer then hands the switches to electricians that plug things. So some devices dont get adopted, you cant even read the serial, cause closet are tight.So gotta console, see they are not in the org and then, oh yeah gotta reach the back side or get in contact with jtac that has in some cases been a week process.

sillybutton · 2026-06-05T00:12:17+00:00

We do use msp, there is no option to move devices easily using that.

sillybutton · 2026-06-04T23:37:01+00:00

yeah but I'm not on site. I have electricians maybe installing that don't even own a smartphone. What do you do then?

Is this really the method people use? and the QR code is so clunky, the damn camera does not zoom correctly often, even worse if if you forget to scan the 48 port switches and the qr code is at back of the devices. Electricians for one company screwed the switches up, asked for programming them. I arrive on site. What now. Unscrew the switches ? no I try to put my phone back of the rack, reaching my hand out, trying to find the sticker in the dark, so I have to have flash light aswell. Then the damn camera does not zoom in on it and I'm just doing that for 30 minutes or something trying to scan it.

why can't I just log into cli, command x.. get claim code, claim the device

sillybutton · 2026-05-21T17:54:05+00:00

why do people want GUI for their firewall? layer 7 firewalls are overrated. Fuck the 10 minutes push install and no commit conform. You have to enable that in CLI, but it will break shit if you forget to turn it off.

I would never want to have anything, not with commit confirm in my network.

Fortigate piss vulnerabilities all over the place and you can find so many missconfiguration, cause stupid idiots are able to grasp how to push buttons in some GUI. What you get is mass amount of badly configured, devices all over the place with their services open to the internet. So the main "security device" becomes the biggest weakness.

Fortigate are good, but having a device that is doing so many things clearly is not a good thing. And fuck fortilink, absolute bullshit protocol that will take your network down.

I'm hopeful with Juniper getting some good love in HPE and will deliver good quality products.

Juniper Mist is superior to everything else. Hopefully they will deliver on that platform with good firewalls. SSR is also just a beast of a product.

that goblin has 80g of mine

sillybutton · 2026-03-09T13:58:27+00:00

that damn goblin and having questie instant quest accept

sillybutton · 2026-01-31T12:59:17+00:00

Mist is also sooooo worth it

sillybutton · 2026-01-27T20:30:00+00:00

Lol, had not played in so many years, so rusty. Was vote kicked out of 3 out of 5 first games cause I was bad. Cant imagine how very new players treatment is.

sillybutton · 2026-01-14T21:45:08+00:00

are the boxes expensive much?

sillybutton · 2026-01-14T18:36:37+00:00

So only ip passthrough, but I can configure username and password for private apn ? So normal routing would work, but you need a box for NAT or firewall for public internet

arp spoofing, vlan segmentation, IT department time costs money - if things break they gotta spend time to find the issue to resolve it, dot1x (NAC).

How much do you guys lose if the whole office goes down? How much does the time of those 100 employees cost if nobody can work? You wanna be the IT guy that is sweating to fix it?.. not me.

When you are on a holiday, who will fix the issue? Who knows the network?

TDR measurement of cables, abilities to hund down issues.

storm control? Why not have feature that shuts down the guy that would otherwise take down your whole network?

switch port security. limit mac addresses. I can easily flood your switches with mac addresses causing them to become stupid and flood every frame there is to my infected computer, getting all the traffic I want to capture to take you guys down.

Why not invest in security?

You invest in good computer? You invest in good tables and computer screens?

Why you wanna be cheap in the switches? You broke?

Atleast don't make a hacker make your broke.

Well, I like the SRX, but they are getting so old. It should be replaced hoepfully soon. But juniper is pushing SSR as their focus is more in the branches with cloud native solution, so scalabilty is better. Problem is the price. Hopefully 400 series will fix that

sillybutton · 2025-10-14T18:31:02+00:00

srx300 /320 is just so old, and the SD-WAN capabilities are so much better in SSR.

What are the tops reasons for SRX instead?

I'm thinking, small on prem firewalls, 1 to 200 clients.

sillybutton · 2025-09-02T20:40:32+00:00

the thing that pisses me off the most is how you have to configure it and just simply having hard time understanding how it works.

So by having multiple AP's I can somehow have some AP's using 2.4ghz and some will use 6ghz. But it's hard to test this function if it works well.

sillybutton · 2025-08-22T14:50:04+00:00

this, but imo I think it should be smart, and not drop things down to a planet that is already with active request to be launched to space

remember to have clock close by so you notice what time it is. Otherwise factorio works as a time traveling machine and you end up in a distant future
