Connecting an SRX210 Services Gateway to the J-Web Interface

If you plan to use the J-Web interface to configure the SRX210 Services Gateway, you must connect through one of the built-in Ethernet management ports.

When the services gateway is powered on for the first time, the system looks for a DHCP server. If it does not find one, the system assigns an IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnetwork to any devices connected to the system.

To connect to the J-Web interface through any of the ports ge-0/0/1or fe-0/0/2to fe-0/0/7on the services gateway, see Figure 27 on page 92.
