SRX210 Services Gateway Hardware Guide

NOTE: The SRX210 services gateway that ship with JUNOS Release 10.0 or later are formatted with dual-root partitions from the factory. SRX Series devices that are running JUNOS Software Release 9.6 or earlier can be formatted with dual-root partitions when they are upgraded to JUNOS Release 10.0 or later.

For more information on dual-root partitioning, see the JUNOS Software Administration Guide for Security Devices.

You configure the services gateway by issuing JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) commands.

Gather the following information before configuring the device:

Device name to be used on the network

Domain name the device will use

IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface

IP address of a default router

IP address of a DNS server

Password for the root user

Understanding Built-In Ethernet Ports

Note the following points about the SRX210 Services Gateway management port:

The SRX210 Services Gateway uses ge-0/0/1and fe-0/0/2to fe-0/0/7as a management ports to perform initial device setup. Before initial configuration, when the factory default configuration is active, the device attempts to perform autoinstallation by obtaining a device configuration through all of its connected interfaces.

The services gateway acts as a DHCP client out of the built-in Ethernet ports. If the services gateway does not find a DHCP server within a few seconds, the device acts as a DHCP server and assigns an IP address as 192.168.1.1/24. With the device temporarily acting as a DHCP server, you can manually configure it with the J-Web interface.

Any DHCP client host, for example, a PC or laptop computer, directly connected to any of ge-0/0/1or fe-0/0/2to fe-0/0/7ports receives an address on the 192.168.1.1/24 network.

Mapping the Chassis Cluster Ports

On the SRX210 Services Gateway, the fxp1 port is not user-configurable when the services gateway is operating in chassis cluster mode.

The fxp0 port is dedicated as the out-of-band management interface for each of the devices in the chassis cluster setup and the fxp1 port is dedicated as the chassis-cluster control port.
