1. Juniper Mist Documentation, "Use Configuration Templates": In the section detailing configuration hierarchy, it states, "Mist has a configuration hierarchy. You can configure settings at the Organization level and at the Site level. Site-level settings override Organization-level settings. For example, if you enable a specific band in a template and disable it at the site level, the site-level setting (disabled) takes precedence." This directly supports the principle that site-level configurations are executed over template-level ones.
2. Juniper Learning Portal, JNCIA-MistAI Courseware, "Module 3: Mist Configuration Basics": This module explains the object hierarchy (Organization > Site). It details that templates are created at the organization level to provide a baseline configuration for multiple sites, but any configuration made directly on a site object will override the template settings for that specific site. This confirms that the site-level policy is the effective one.
3. Juniper TechLibrary, "Mist Cloud—An Introduction to the Cloud-Native Platform": This document outlines the architectural design, which includes the hierarchical management structure. It explains that this structure allows for both broad, consistent policy application via organization-level templates and granular, site-specific exceptions and configurations, with the latter taking precedence.
