SRX

Hello,

I have just purchased an SRX220 to replace my home router. 

I am trying to setup a static route but Virgin Media who are my ISP won't give me the Gateway IP address. On a Cisco device I know that you can set a static route with an outgoing interface but can't find out anything on the web regarding this with Juniper.

I believe I have set the interface correctly as unsure of the IP address as they won't give me the details. Can someone confirm that this interface is set correclty to receive an IP address via DHCP....

ge-0/0/0 {
         unit 0 {
                 family inet {
                        dhcp;
                 }
         }
}

Is it possible to configure a static route with an outgoing interface? If not I think I may of just spent £300 for nothing.

Many Thanks

Peter

Hi peter.arnett,

The correct way to configure DHCP ( Client ) which is what you need is  :

ge-0/0/0 {
unit 0 {
family inet {
dhcp-client;
}
}
}

For DHCP Client to work you also have to enable incoming services on the interface and not on the zone level when configuring the security zone :

root# show security zones security-zone test interfaces ge-0/0/0.0

host-inbound-traffic {
system-services {
dhcp;
}
}

Yes you can, however it must be a true point to point interface. The ISP is BSing you. That is easy. Connect up any device o get an IP address and you will get the gateway. I dont why they would say that which they know your device will get it. Jeez.
