SRX1400 Services Gateway Software Configuration Overview

The services gateway is shipped with Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured when the device is powered on. You can configure the services gateway using the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI), J-Web interface, SSH, or Telnet. However, you can perform initial configuration using the CLI only.

The SRX1400 Services Gateway includes the copies of Junos OS in:

• CompactFlash card in the Routing Engine
• Hard disk in the Routing Engine

Note: You can also use the Junos OS stored in the USB flash drive inserted into the Routing Engine faceplate.

When the device boots, the following sequence of events occurs:

1. The device attempts to start the image on the USB flash drive (if available).
2. The device attempts to start the image from the CompactFlash card if the USB flash drive is not inserted into the Routing Engine or if the first attempt fails.
3. The device attempts to start the image from the hard disk if the first two methods fail.

You configure the services gateway by using Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands, either on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the SYSIOC or over a Telnet connection to a network connected to the RE ETHERNET port on the SYSIOC.

Gather the following information before configuring the device:

• Name the device will use on the network
• Domain name the device will use
• IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
• IP address of a default router
• IP address of a DNS server
• Password for the root user
