Configure a Custom VR for SRX Series Firewalls

A Custom Virtual Router (VR) is a virtual router that you can configure to be used in automatic route leaking. For SRX Series Firewalls, the Juniper Mist™ intent configuration model uses what is configured in the Application Policy to leak routes to the appropriate VR.
Note:

The Juniper Mist intent configuration model evaluates the Network and Traffic Steering configuration in the Application Policy to determine whether automatic route leaking is needed. If automatic route leaking is needed, the Mist intent engine will automatically perform it.

To configure a Custom VR for an SRX Series Firewall deployed as a WAN Edge Device:

  1. From the Mist Portal, navigate to the WAN Edge Device or the WAN Edge Template.
  2. From the CUSTOM VR tile, click Add Custom VR, then give it a name and assign the appropriate Network(s).

  3. Click Add.
  4. Navigate to the TRAFFIC STEERING section and select Add Traffic Steering to create traffic steering policies for the necessary paths.

  5. Select the checkmark in the Add Paths section when you are done, then select Add at the bottom of the window.
  6. Navigate to the APPLICATION POLICIES tile and add or import application policies.
    1. Assign the Network that corresponds with the Custom VR you created in Step 2. Assign the Traffic Steering policy that you created in the Step 4.
