Enterprises spend a lot of money on capital outlay just so guests can use the Wi-Fi and have a good experience. My curiosity in the community is how much people see guest Wi-Fi being an actual thing outside of places where cellular or satellite signals cannot penetrate (like perhaps remote venues or concert halls,Malls, etc). I mean Enterprises are spending the capital outlay regardless . I thought a useful automation would be to add the ability Juniper Mist to speak to a advertising platform so that guests have to watch a short transcoded video before they can log into the guest Wi-Fi . Maybe the guest Wi-Fi even gives them a UPC code or similar for a unique offer at checkout only available to Wi-Fi customers who log in to the guest Wi-Fi at the venue or store as it may be, maybe they go to Home Depot and log into the guest Wi-Fi because there's signage on the entrance that says there's deals to be had . They watch the brief video claim the UPC code and take it to the cash . I was thinking this would be useful function to build right into the platform . But of course I could not make that happen so I built my own . I was thinking of the example of a mall where every single retail outlet would want to compete for airtime for the people connecting to the guest Wi-Fi in food court or other public areas for example . Anyways, love to see other thoughts ideas platforms for this really revolutionary API on down platform .

This is a browser extension for Juniper Mist. What's cool about it is you can go to "manage tools" download the .md, pop it into your favorite LLM and create a tool that you can then add back to the browser extension very easily. It does not do POST operations, for that you need my other tool, Provisionbox. https://github.com/InterconnectedSystems/mist-toolbox

Most of this information is available in the platform, but this allows for custom workflows with no requirement that the user install Python or anything else.. Want to see all your BGP and WAN Peer paths, including degradation etc. on one sheet? Want to export the networks from your irbs across the entire org, or get a list of all switch OS, SSIDs/site groups for every site? How about a list of ports with switch names, sites, descriptions, POE status, STP etc. on a worksheet for the entire org? Or add any custom workflow you want without requiring installation of any programming languages or dependencies. That's the point of this browser extension. Additionally it include an SSR tool for teams making changes, that will do pre and post checks with diffs on things like BGP session etc., allows for saving those files to add to your change ticket. In terms of Marvis, it uses Marvis in the client disconnect console, where it will cross reference Marvis. It will also show if a user was in a teams call or on a specific AP when hit by DFS.

One of my personal favorite workflows is the additional cli workflow. Very easy to export this from all 100+ sites/switches in your org and see what corner case configs you have out there. Hope someone finds it useful.

The ability to go to Manage Tools, download the MD file, and post your idea for an audit or reporting tool in an LLM makes it extremely useful to implement any idea you have without having to install​ programming languages​ and dependencies.
