Release Information

Statement introduced in Release 9.4 of Junos OS.

Description

Specify the value in seconds that the SRX Series device should wait to get a heartbeat response from an Infranet Controller (default 60). If the SRX Series device does not receive a response in the specified time, it takes the action specified by the timeout-action configuration statement. It also tries again to make a connection to the Infranet Controller. After the second failed attempt, the SRX Series device fails over to the next Infranet Controller in the cluster. The SRX Series device continues trying to reach Infranet Controllers in the cluster until a connection is established.

Use this statement when you are configuring the SRX Series device to act as a Junos OS Enforcer in a Unified Access Control (UAC) deployment. When deployed as a Junos OS Enforcer, the SRX Series device enforces the policies that are defined on the UAC’s Infranet Controller. When working with a cluster of Infranet Controllers, the Junos OS Enforcer connects to one at a time, failing over to other Infranet Controllers in the cluster as required.
