Policy-Based VPNs Using J Series Routers and SRX Series Devices Overview

Junos OS, the software which runs on J Series and SRX Series devices, provides not only a powerful operating system, but also a rich IP services toolkit. Junos OS ensures an efficient and predictable IP infrastructure through unmatched IP dependability and security. Junos OS has been greatly enhanced with security and VPN capabilities from Juniper Networks Firewall/IPsec VPN Platforms that include the Secure Services Gateway (SSG) product family. This document provides detailed information on IPsec interoperability configuration between a J Series router or SRX Series device (Junos OS device) and an SSG device. This application note also provides troubleshooting information for Junos OS.

The configuration of a Junos OS routing/security device for virtual private network (VPN) support is particularly flexible. You can create route-based and policy-based VPN tunnels. This document focuses on policy-based VPN tunnels.

This document is intended for network design and security engineers, as well as anyone who requires secure connectivity over public networks.
