Table 1: Fields on the Register Security Service Page
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Service Name | Enter the name for the Juniper Security Service. |
vSRX OVF URL | The vSRX OVF image that you have copied to the Policy Enforcer VM is listed here. Select the vSRX OVF image from the list. |
vSRX Root Password | Enter the root password of the vSRX instance. The same root password is set for all the vSRX VMs deployed in NSX. |
Confirm Password | Enter the root password of the vSRX instance for confirmation. |
Firewall Type | Select East-West or North-South from the list. The default firewall type is East-West. East-West—vSRX is spawned in each ESX server of VMware NSX-T for the east-west traffic. This provides east-west security for members of the security groups within a datacenter. North-South—It is the perimeter firewall for the north-south traffic. This provides a consistent north-south security for members of the security groups, if the members move across datacenters. Note: The Firewall Type field is applicable only if the NSX Manager type is NSX-T. |
