We are deploying an SRX210-HE with a T1 ePIM module to a remote site. I'm running Junos 12.1R4.7 with a setup like this:
t1-1/0/0 Trust 192.168.1.2/30
ge-0/0/0 Untrust 192.168.2.1/24
I can see routes created from interfaces on my device and I can create a route for something like this:
set routing-options static route 192.168.3.0/24 next-hop 192.168.2.10 no-resolve
And the route shows up in the routing table as expected.
If I add a default route to point at the other end of my T1 (i.e. my core router) the route does not show up in the routing table:
set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.1.1
The route is in the configuration but does not enter the routing table. If I try to ping a subnet that would be at the end of my T1 I get 'route not found' or something to that effect.
This is true even when the T1 interface is up, if I add 'no-resolve', do not use 'no-resolve', etc.
I have used ScreenOS, Junos on routers, switches, etc so this isn't my first rodeo when it comes to routing or Junos.
It is however our first foray into using an SRX in production.
I'm thinking that there has to be something in an SRX that I need to do in order to get a default route to show up - virtual router, policy, protocol, something - but I'm unsure as to what that should be.
Docs I have seen do not show any difference than with a non-ES Junos device as far as a default route goes.
I would be grateful for a kick n the pants toward the right direction or the missing piece that is eluding me at this point.
