Secure Context

Secure context allows a Services Router to act as a stateful firewall with only management access. To allow traffic to pass through a Services Router, you must explicitly configure a security policy for that purpose. In secure context, a Services Router forwards packets only if a security policy permits it. Certain services are also configured (in the host-inbound-traffic statement at the [edit security zones] hierarchy level) to allow host-inbound traffic for management of a Services Router. A Services Router running in secure context is a secure routing device with predefined configuration values.

For secure context configuration details, see Secure Context Configuration Settings. For information about how to change from router context to secure context, see Changing from Router Context to Secure Context.
