Solution

The SSR Proxy option corresponds to the Session Smart Router Management Proxy feature. This feature enables the SSR to communicate with the Mist Cloud and other management services through an explicit HTTP/HTTPS proxy. It is intended for deployments where the SSR does not have direct Internet connectivity.


When configured, the SSR routes its outbound management traffic through a non-transparent (explicit) HTTP/HTTPS proxy, allowing it to access services such as:

  • Mist Cloud for Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP)
  • Telemetry and cloud management services


After enabling the feature, you will be prompted to provide the proxy IP address and port number. This results in the following configuration being applied on the SSR:


config authority router router management-proxy proxy 10.0.0.1 address 10.0.0.1

config authority router router management-proxy proxy 10.0.0.1 port 5000


For more information about how the management proxy works, please refer to the following Juniper documentation: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/session-smart-router/docs/config_proxy_server


Please note that this documentation applies to Conductor-managed SSR deployments. At this time, there is no official documentation specifically covering the Mist-managed SSR implementation. However, the underlying proxy functionality is the same.
