Load an Initial Configuration on a vSRX Virtual Firewall with KVM
Starting in Junos OS Release 15.1X49-D40 and Junos OS Release 17.3R1, you can use a mounted ISO image to pass the initial startup Junos OS configuration to a vSRX Virtual Firewall VM. This ISO image contains a file in the root directory called juniper.conf. This file uses the standard Junos OS command syntax to define configuration details, such as root password, management IP address, default gateway, and other configuration statements.
The process to bootstrap a vSRX Virtual Firewall VM with an ISO configuration image is as follows:
SNMPv3 configuration is not supported when provisioning the vSRX Virtual Firewall platforms with an ISO bootstrap image.
Create the juniper.conf configuration file with your Junos OS configuration.
Create an ISO image that includes the juniper.conf file.
Mount the ISO image to the vSRX Virtual Firewall VM.
Boot or reboot the vSRX Virtual Firewall VM. vSRX Virtual Firewall will boot using the juniper.conf file included in the mounted ISO image.
Unmount the ISO image from the vSRX Virtual Firewall VM.
If you do not unmount the ISO image after the initial boot or reboot, all subsequent configuration changes to the vSRX Virtual Firewall are overwritten by the ISO image on the next reboot.
Create a vSRX Virtual Firewall Bootstrap ISO Image
This task uses a Linux system to create the ISO image.
To create a vSRX Virtual Firewall bootstrap ISO image:
Provision vSRX Virtual Firewall with an ISO Bootstrap Image on KVM
To provision a vSRX Virtual Firewall VM from an ISO bootstrap image:
