Marvis Minisis an advanced feature within the Juniper Mist AI ecosystem designed to performautonomous, synthetic network testing. It uses Mist Access Points (APs) to simulate client behavior—such as association, authentication, DHCP, DNS, and application reachability—to proactively detect service issuesbefore real users are affected.
According to theJuniper Mist Marvis Minis Deployment GuideandMarvis AI documentation, the key requirement for enabling Marvis Minis is that all participating access points must be running aminimum supported firmware versionthat includes the Minis agent functionality.
The documentation specifies:
“Marvis Minis requires APs running the minimum firmware version that supports synthetic testing. APs on earlier versions will not be capable of running Minis tests or reporting results to the Mist Cloud.”
Additional subscriptions such asWAN Assurance,Premium Analytics, orWLAN templatesare not prerequisites for operation. WhileMarvis licensingmust be active, the feature itself relies primarily on compatible firmware within the Mist-managed APs.
Therefore, the correct answer isC. Minimum AP firmware— ensuring the APs are on a supported firmware release is essential for Marvis Minis functionality.
