Overview of Route-Based VPNs Using J Series and SRX Series Devices

Junos operating system (Junos OS) 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 has been enhanced with security and VPN features previously found in the Juniper Networks firewall and IPsec products which also include the Secure Services Gateway (SSG) product family. The purpose of this example is to detail IPsec interoperability configuration between a J Series or SRX Series device and an SSG device using a route-based VPN. This example also provides troubleshooting information for J Series or SRX Series devices.

The configuration of a J Series or SRX Series device for VPN support is very flexible. You can create route-based and policy-based VPN tunnels. This network configuration example focuses on route-based virtual private network (VPN) tunnels.
