Onboarding Overview

This topic provides an overview of how to onboard Juniper Networks® SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper® Security Director Cloud. You can use either a greenfield onboarding approach or a brownfield onboarding approach.

You can onboard SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud using the following options:

• Greenfield onboarding — Onboard new SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud. This process includes purchasing subscriptions, scanning the QR code on the device, and following the on-screen instructions to add the firewall to Juniper Security Director Cloud.

  You can also onboard new, greenfield, SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud using ZTP. For details, see Add Devices Using Zero Touch Provisioning.

• Brownfield onboarding — Onboard existing, in-service SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud. This process includes logging in to Juniper Security Director Cloud portal, adopting the device to generate the Junos OS CLI commands, copying the CLI commands into the firewall's CLI, and then committing the changes.

  You can also onboard existing, in-service, SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud using J-Web or Security Director on-prem. For details, see Add SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud Using J-Web, and Add Devices to Juniper Security Director Cloud.

Both new and existing SRX Series Firewalls can be efficiently integrated into Juniper’s cloud-based security management platform, regardless of their initial configuration or deployment status.
