    Most of the questions you're asking (configuration wise) can be answered by reading this free online book: http://www.juniper.net/us/en/community/junos/training-certification/day-one/dynamic-services-series/deploying-srx-series/

     

    However to briefly touch on one of your questions.

     

    No it is not possible (as of today on the branch) to load balance two ISP connections without an ugly amount of configuration hacking. Just don't go down that road.

     

    Yes you can do fail over between two ISP's. Look at ip-monitoring, a new feature in 11.2 if I recall correctly (previous to that it was done with an event script)

     

    Hope this helps,

    OK

     

    Please let me know first that what model are you using?



  • 5.  RE: help me in configuration of SRX

    Posted 12-10-2011 10:56

    Well, no answer regarding to model number yet, and I gotta go, but it's probably SRX210 or SRX240, so I wore the following based on these models. You might have to change the interface name if you're using the other models.

     

    If you configure your laptop interface in a way to obtain an IP address automatically by DHCP, and connect your laptop to one of those interfaces somewhere in middle, you're laptop get an IP address automatically probably in range of 192.168.1.0/24, then you can connect to the device by address 192.168.1.1. But honestly it's not my favorite method, I like to do it manually, delete everything and config it from scratch, so if you want to do it in my way please read the following.

     

    Do it step by step:

     

     

    1. connect to the device via console.

    2. Login as "root" user and just leave the password blank, just press enter.

    3. Issue the command "cli"

    3. Your promt should be ending with ">" mark.

    4. Type "configure" and press enter.

    5. Type following commands one by one:

     

    delete

    yes

    set system root-authentication plain-text-password

    New password:

    Retype new password:

    set system hostnam MyFirewall

    set system services web-management https port 5050 system-generated-certificate

    set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.1.1/24

    set security zone security-zone Internal-LAN interface ge-0/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services https

    set security zone security-zone Internal-LAN interface ge-0/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services ping

    set security zone security-zone Internal-LAN interface ge-0/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services ssh

    set system services web-management https port 5050 system-generated-certificate

    set system services ssh

    commit

     

    PLEASE NOTE THAT CONFIGURATION SHOULD BE COMMITTED SUCCESSFULLY, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT I MISSED SOMETHING HERE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN'T COMMIT THE CONFIG, AND SEND ME IT'S ERROR TOO.

     

    AND ALSO PLEASE NOTE, THIS CONFIGURATION HELPS YOU TO JUST GET STARTED.

     

    All you have to do is to set an address to your laptop, let's say 192.168.1.10/24 and plug the patch cord to ge-0/0/0 that is the first interface from the left. Then connect to the device by typing this URL in your browser: https://192.168.1.1:5050

    However I prefer ssh 😉

     

    For more information refere to Study guides in Fast track program, or DayOne guides as Tim said.

     

    Hope this is helps

    Ok, you have to just replace "ge-0/0/0" with "fe-0/0/0" in the config that I just sent to you. 🙂

    It's probably not a hardware problem, you should give it some time, SRX is slow too booting up completely, when is booted up completly you have to hold the reset button for 15 seconds, until the Status LED get amber and steadily, and wait, give it some time, it's slow, trust me.

     

    CONNECT TO IT VIA CONSOLE PORT, WAIT UNTIL YOU GET LOGIN MESSAGE.

    Hi,

     

    Wow, you request is so open, I even don't know how to get started.

     

    If you are completely new to SRX I suggest you to delete everything and start it from the scratch. I can divide the config in several section as following.

    1. System configuration, it means all configuration such as time and date, SSH or http access, DNS name server and stuff like that.

     

    2. Interface configuration, you have to give the interface their IP addresses and subnet masks.

     

    3. Configuring Routing stuff.

     

    4. Configuring security zone, in you case they can be LAN, DMZ and Internet.

     

    5. Put each interface in it's zone.

     

    6. Write security policies between zones.

     

    7. Load balancing between internet link need you to get into Filter Based Routing FBF. However there is no dynamic way to load balancing in SRX, but you can do it somehow, you can divide your internal network in to two subnets, you can do it in a way, that some IPs goes from first internet link, and some of them goes from the other one, or you can do it in protocol level. Fail over is supported too.

     

    8. Configuring some other stuff like NAT.

     

    9. Hardening you're device and zones by configuring stuff like screening and blah blah blah

     

    But configuring these thing is so much, please read Junos study guides in here:

     

    http://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/fasttrack/

     

    Take some time to read these stuff, these guides are very short to read but efficient.

     

    Please let me know if you need more information or help in specific. God I don't even know what model are you using, but no problem, we'll take care of it.

     

    Good luck
