Storm Control

What is storm-control & why enable it on Port Profile? A traffic storm is generated when messages are broadcast on a network and each message prompts a receiving node to respond by broadcasting its own messages on the network. This, in turn, prompts further responses, creating a snowball effect. The LAN is suddenly flooded with...

STP Edge Port / BPDU Guard

Switches support spanning-tree protocols that prevent loops in a network by creating a tree topology (spanning-tree) of the entire bridged network. All spanning-tree protocols use a special type of frame called bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) to communicate with each other. Other devices in the network, such as PCs, generate their own BPDUs that are...

Template-based Configuration with Device and Port Profile

A key feature of switch management through the Juniper Mist cloud is the ability to use configuration templates and a hierarchical model to group the switches and make bulk updates. Templates provide uniformity and convenience, while the hierarchy (Organization, Network, and Switch) provides both scale and granularity. What templates, and the hierarchical model, means in...
