Starting from 12.1X46-D10 release, SRX has a new feature called traffic selector. Details of the feature can be found at juniper page here In a nutshell, it is similar to the proxy-id but has some major differences. By using proxy ids we can even establish two IPSEC tunnels to the same tunnel end point or

Have you ever thought how the IP addresses are chosen/selected in icmp time exceeded error messages when you run a traceroute command? Recently I was analyzing an issue and this really made a difference in troubleshooting. I have done the analysis on an SRX firewall and a Linux device and I have got different results.

In one of my earlier posts I provided my configuration for an IPSEC VPN setup between an SRX firewall and Linux with racoon. In this post, I will explain how you can set up a route based IPSEC tunnel between StrongSwan (pre-shared key) and SRX firewall. Topology of my setup is below; Tunnel Peers: debian1

I will briefly show how you can set up Layer 2 circuit between two packet-mode SRX boxes on 12.1X46-D10 release. Simply, if you set up a Layer 2 circuit between two sites, you can connect the same subnet between two different geographic location over an MPLS cloud. Look at the following sample topology and assume

Below you will find a simple example for those who use Linux iptables and now need to use SRX NAT. I am giving destination and source nat examples in both systems to easily compare the way NAT is configured in both firewalls. In both scenarios I will use the following topology in which ubuntu3 is
