SRX100 Services Gateway Basic Connectivity Overview

The JUNOS Software is preinstalled on the services gateway. When the device is powered on, it is ready to be configured.

If you are setting up a services gateway for the first time, you can use either J-Web configuration editor or CLI configuration editor to configure basic connectivity.

If you are setting up many services gateways, autoinstallation can help automate the configuration process.

Before you configure the services gateway for the first time, you should complete the prerequisite tasks shown in Table 1:
