Onboard Greenfield SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud Using QR Code

This topic walks you through the steps to onboard a new cloud-ready Juniper Networks® SRX Series Firewall to Juniper Security Director Cloud using a QR code.

To begin onboarding SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud, it is essential to first determine whether the device is cloud-ready or non-cloud-ready.

  • Cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls have a QR or claim code on the chassis for quick onboarding to Juniper Security Director Cloud. Cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls offer advanced security services, seamless integration, and protection for cloud deployments. You can onboard the cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls using your mobile phone by scanning the QR code and following the guided steps in the portal.

  • Non-cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls do not have QR or claim codes and require manual onboarding. You can onboard the non-cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls using CLI commands or Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).

For supported supported cloud-ready and non-cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls, see Juniper Security Director Cloud Supported Firewalls.

Before You Begin

Install the rack and power on your cloud-ready SRX Series Firewall. For instructions specific to your device, see the applicable hardware guide.

Note:

DHCP is enabled on all interfaces on cloud-ready SRX Series Firewalls in the factory-default configuration. Make sure that you can connect to the Internet using one of the interfaces.
