Description

This article explains the scenario where the MIST SRX Admin configures the Sped Test BETA for SRX Branch Series Devices and notices that the Speed Test results are not showing as expected.

Symptoms

MIST SRX Admin configures the WAN Speed Test (BETA) on WAN Edge Template and also under the site as required.

However, notices that the Speed Test results are not showing on the Dashboard as expected.

It was also observed that the Speed Test results are showing on SRX-POE devices and not on NON-POE Devices.

 

SRX-POE:
Jun 6 04:02:17 running op script 'mist_speedtest.py'
Jun 6 04:02:17 opening op script '/var/db/scripts/op/mist_speedtest.py'

SRX-NON-POE:

Jun 24 19:03:51.501 2026 FIREWALL1 mgd[45494]: UI_CFG_AUDIT_SET: User 'mist' set: [juniper-config groups mist-script system scripts op file mist_speedtest.py checksum sha-256] "xx****aabbccdd****xx -- "xx****aabbccdd****xx"

Solution

It has been confirmed by the MIST Dev team that the Speed Test Feature is not supported on SRX Branch Series Devices (SRX-3xx)

 

Hence, we can disable the Speed Test config under the site WAN Config for SRX Branch Series Devices.

 

 

NOTE : As the Feature is not supported, we see the difference in behavior on POE and NON-POE Devices. Hence, disabling the Feature is recommended in this scenario.
