Understanding and Changing Secure and Router Contexts

A J-series Services Router running JUNOS software includes two configurations that allow the router to operate as either a stateful firewall or a router. When a Services Router is initially configured as a firewall, it operates in secure context. When a Services Router is initially configured as a router, it operates in router context. Use either of the configurations as a starting point from which you can customize the configuration for your network requirements.
