Juniper ScreenOS BGP Basics : a simple iBGP test case
As explained in one of my earlier posts, ScreenOS supports a couple of ways to provide for dynamic routing. Today, I’m going to explain some basic implementations of BGP on ScreenOS. Unlike my post on OSPF, I won’t be going too much into all the details of what BGP is and how it works, but […]
Using 2 internet links with Juniper screenos Firewalls to separate traffic (pbr) and apply traffic shaping
Scenario : you have 1 Juniper firewall, which has 2 internet connections : an expensive but reliable 4Mbit connection, and a fast, less expensive, but less reliable 20Mbit connection. Goal : use the reliable connection for smtp traffic (1Mbit) and http traffic (3Mbit), and route all other internet traffic over the other connection The techniques […]
Using OSPF on Juniper Netscreen Firewalls
Introduction to OSPF OSPF is a link-state (dynamic) routing protocol that operates within an autonomous system. OSPF falls within the group of Interior Gateway Protocols. Devices that use OSPF will advertise link state information. The devices generate Link State Advertisements (LSA’s) for directly connected links, and will forward LSAs received from other devices to ensure […]
Building IPSec VPN with Juniper Netscreen ScreenOS (CJFV)
A few days ago, I have posted some ScreenOS basics on this blog. Today, it is time to take it one step further and to look at setting up and especially troubleshooting IPSec VPN’s with Juniper Netscreen devices. The need for VPN A VPN can be defined as the simulation of a private connection by […]
Juniper Firewall ScreenOS Basics (CJFV)
ScreenOS Concepts & Terminology The following document is based on ScreenOS v5.4.0r7.0 – Interface = connection to a specific subnet. An interface is assigned an IP address only if firewall is operating in L3 mode. Default interface names can vary on different Netscreen devices. – Zone : logical grouping of subnets and interfaces. All devices […]
Juniper : Setting up an IPSec VPN tunnel between a Juniper Netscreen firewall/vpn device and a Cisco VPN device
Today, I will explain the (easy) steps to set up a route-based IPSec VPN tunnel between a Juniper Netscreen firewall/VPN device and a remote Cisco device (such as Cisco ASA) If you are looking for more generic information on IPSec and building VPNs with Juniper, take a look at my blog post on VPNs with […]
