Doing NAT is very easy with SRX indeed. For example: SOURCE NAT (INTERFACE BASED) [edit security nat] root@host# show | display set set security nat source rule-set rs1 from zone trust set security nat source rule-set rs1 to zone untrust set security nat source rule-set rs1 rule rl1 match source-address 10.200.2.0/24 set security nat source

If you want to debug a packet flow you can use the following config by which testdebug.log file will contain icmp traffic debugs. [edit security flow] root@host# show traceoptions { file testdebug.log; flag basic-datapath; packet-filter look-icmp { protocol icmp; } }
1) An ICMP packet occupies a session entry in SRX 2) There is an intra-zone policy applied by default so packets belonging to the same zone but in different interfaces cannot traverse unless there is a intra-zone policy permitting them. 3) If the policy doesn’t allow a packet, it cannot be seen in monitor traffic

Today I learned a handy option in show command which is particularly useful when debugging trace files. For example if you display a debug file host>show log debug.log Apr 8 21:36:29 21:36:28.1118827:CID-0:RT:packet [60] ipid = 60723, @4094a01c Apr 8 21:36:29 21:36:28.1118978:CID-0:RT:---- flow_process_pkt: (thd 3): flow_ctxt type 13, common flag 0x0, mbuf 0x40949e80, rtbl_idx = 0 Apr 8

Today I played with policies in SRX and made a policy change which is supposed to block SSH traffic from internal clients to outside networks. I made the change and committed the configuration but I saw that my SSH connection was still alive and connection wasn’t dropped. However when I disconnect and try to reconnect,

I love the way junos manages configuration file. Here is my favorite command “load” and some examples about it. [edit interfaces ge-4/0/0] root@router#load update terminal relative [Type ^D at a new line to end input] If you are at a relative location such as an interface configuration as above, any thing you paste will override

If you want to monitor a growing log file in JUNOS, there is a builtin command for this purpose. For example, if you want to monitor the log file /var/log/messages just run; user@host> monitor start /var/log/messages and any change in this file will be displayed on your screen. To stop monitoring simply run; user@host> monitor
