To provide secure traffic, a basic set of screens are configured on the untrust zone.

If the current active configuration fails, you can use the load factory-default command to revert to the factory-default configuration.

How to View Factory-Default Settings

To view the factory-default settings on your device:

  1. Log in as the root user and provide your credentials.
  2. View the list of default configuration files:
    user@host> file list /etc/config

  3. View the required default configuration file.
    user@host> file show /etc/config/<config file name>

When you commit changes to the configuration, a new configuration file is created, which becomes the active configuration. If the current active configuration fails, you can use the load factory-default command to revert to the factory-default configuration.

Initial Configuration Using the CLI

You can use either the serial or the mini-USB console port on the device.

Connect to the Serial Console Port

To connect to the serial console port:

  1. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter supplied with your SRX340.
  2. Plug the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter into the serial port on the management device.
  3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the serial console port on the SRX340.

  4. Start your asynchronous terminal emulation application (such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal) and select the appropriate COM port to use (for example, COM1).
  5. Configure the serial port settings with the following values:

    • Baud rate—9600

    • Parity—N

    • Data bits—8

    • Stop bits—1

    • Flow control—none

Connect to the Mini-USB Console Port

To connect to the mini-USB console port:

  1. Download the USB driver to the management device from the Downloads page. To download the driver for Windows OS, select 6.5 from the Version drop-down list. To download the driver for macOS, select 4.10 from the Version drop-down list.
  2. Install the USB console driver software:Note

    Install the USB console driver software before attempting to establish a physical connection between the SRX340 and the management device, otherwise the connection will fail.

    1. Copy and extract the .zip file to your local folder.

    2. Double-click the .exe file. The installer screen appears.

    3. Click Install.

    4. Click Continue Anyway on the next screen to complete the installation.

      If you chose to stop the installation at any time during the process, then all or part of the software will fail to install. In such a case, we recommend that you uninstall the USB console driver and then reinstall it.

    5. Click OK when the installation is complete.

  3. Plug the large end of the USB cable supplied with the SRX340 into a USB port on the management device.
  4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the mini-USB console port on the SRX340.
  5. Start your asynchronous terminal emulation application (such as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal) and select the new COM port installed by the USB console driver software. In most cases, this is the highest-numbered COM port in the selection menu.

    You can locate the COM port under Ports (COM & LPT) in Windows Device Manager after the driver is installed and initialized. This might take several seconds.

  6. Configure the port settings with the following values:

    • Bits per second—9600

    • Parity—None

    • Data bits—8

    • Stop bits—1

    • Flow control—None

  7. If you have not already done so, power on the SRX340 by pressing the Power button on the front panel. Verify that the PWR LED on the front panel turns green.

    The terminal emulation screen on your management device displays the startup sequence. When the SRX340 has finished starting up, a login prompt appears.

Configure the SRX340 Using the CLI

To configure the SRX340 by using the CLI:

  1. Start the CLI.
    Note

    You can view the factory-default settings by using the show configuration command.

  2. Enter configuration mode.
  3. Set the root authentication password by entering a cleartext password, an encrypted password, or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA).
  4. Commit the configuration to activate it on the device.

Initial Configuration Using J-Web

Configure Using J-Web

To configure the device by using J-Web:

  1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port (labeled MGMT) on the device.

    The ge-0/0/0 and ge-0/0/15 interfaces (ports 0/0 and 0/15) are WAN interfaces. Do not use these ports for the initial configuration procedure.

  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.
    Figure 2: Connecting the SRX340 to a Management Device
    Connecting the SRX340 to a Management Device

    The SRX340 functions as a DHCP server and automatically assigns an IP address to the laptop.

  3. Ensure that the management device acquires an IP address on the 192.168.1.0/24 network from the device.

    If an IP address is not assigned to the management device, manually configure an IP address in the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

    Note

    Do not assign the 192.168.1.1 IP address to the management device, as this IP address is assigned to the services gateway.

  4. Open a browser and type https://192.168.1.1. The Phone Home Client page appears.

  5. To configure the device:
  6. Set a root authentication password in the Skip to J-Web page and click Submit.

    The J-Web login page appears. The SRX340 already has factory-default settings configured to make it a plug-and-play device. So all you have to do to get the SRX340 up and running is connect it to your LAN and WAN networks.

  7. Connect the WAN network to port 0/0 to obtain a dynamic IP address.
  8. Connect the LAN network to any of the ports from 0/1 through 0/14.
  9. Check to see if the SRX340 is connected to the Internet. Go to http://www.juniper.net. If the page does not load, check the Internet connection.

    After you complete these steps, you can start using the SRX340 on your network right away.

You can continue to customize the settings by logging in to J-Web and selecting the configuration mode that’s right for you. You can then follow the screens as they appear in the Setup wizard.
