Preface
The Juniper Networks NetScreen-5000 Series consists of purpose-built, high-performance security systems that provide IPSec VPN and firewall services for large-scale carrier, enterprise, and data-center networks. Built around NetScreen’s third-generation ASIC technology and distributed system architecture, the NetScreen-5000 Series offers excellent scalability and flexibility.
The NetScreen-5000 Series includes the following device models:
•The NetScreen-5200, a chassis-based, two-slot network security device.
•The NetScreen-5400, a chassis-based, four-slot network security device.
NetScreen-5000 Series architecture features multiple processing modules. These include a management module that provides overall system control, and security processing modules that allow a variety of port configurations. Together, these modules provide a wide range of performance and security gateway configurations. Because the modules can work in many combinations, you can customize the NetScreen-5000 Series to accommodate the specific requirements of your organization.
The NetScreen-5000 Series also employs a switch fabric for data exchange and a separate multi-bus channel for control information, thus delivering scalable performance for the most demanding environments.
