Day One: SRX Configuration with JWeb

The SRX Series devices pack a diverse and powerful set of functionality into a small box that allows you to use it as a router, a firewall, for switching, and even as a DHCP server, client, or relay agent. J-Web ships with every SRX device providing a GUI management tool that brings context to all of the device interfaces, Junos® protocols, security features, and services.

Yes, you could use the CLI to configure all of this functionality. And many administrators do. But this book shows you just how easy it can be to navigate the device with J-Web, and how J-Web helps you build a more complete mental image of your network. J-Web combines a modern interface along with a set of intuitive wizards that makes it especially easy to setup, configure, monitor, and maintain your device.

IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO:
• Access your SRX device using J-Web.
• Use the Initial Setup wizard to launch your SRX device for the first time.
• Use the other J-Web wizards to configure basic system properties like users, DNS, SNMP, DHCP and routing.
• Use J-Web to configure device security features like zones, screens, policies 
and NAT.
• Use J-Web to monitor network performance, upgrade software, and diagnose 
network problems.
• Explore the interface further, on your own, as the book guides you around your SRX device or test bed.
