Configure an HTTP Proxy Server for Device Management

Configure an HTTP proxy server to manage your devices, onboard your devices, and to handle all outbound traffic of your devices.

If you use a proxy server in your network, you can configure a DHCP or a static server to connect your devices with Juniper Security Director Cloud.

Note:

Devices running Junos OS Release 23.4R1 and later can use proxy servers. You can configure proxy servers in Juniper Security Director Cloud to manage devices running these supported versions of Junos OS.

To configure a DHCP or static proxy server for device management:

  1. Select Inventory > Devices.
  2. Click Device Connectivity Settings > Proxy Server.

    The Proxy Server page opens.

  3. Configure the proxy server to connect your devices according to the guidelines.
