Brownfield Onboarding: Add SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud Using Commands

Before You Begin

  • Make sure SRX Series Firewall can communicate with Juniper Security Director Cloud fully qualified domain name (FQDN) on respective ports. The FQDN of each home region is different. See the following table for FQDN mapping details.

  • Use TCP port 53 and UDP port 53 to connect to Google DNS servers (IP addresses—8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). The Google DNS servers are specified as the default servers in the factory settings of the SRX Series Firewalls. You must use these default DNS servers when you use ZTP to onboard the firewalls. You can use private DNS servers when you use other methods to onboard the firewalls. Note that you must make sure that the private DNS servers can resolve the Juniper Security Director Cloud FQDNs.
