Day One: vSRX on KVM

Configure the vSRX in a KVM environment and build lab topologies on day one.


Day One: vSRX on KVM is for network administrators, network architects, or engineers interested in quickly starting to use the Juniper Networks vSRX Virtual Firewall. Any time you need to design and test different topology use cases, train yourself or others, or even practice certification exams, this book covers such usage with step-by-step instructions and practical examples.

Day One: vSRX on KVM requires basic networking knowledge and a general understanding of the TCP/IP protocol suite, Linux systems, and Ubuntu. Written in tandem with the Juniper vSRX documentation, it curates links and tutorials with the Juniper TechLibrary and saves time for vSRX users by coordinating deployment steps with the TechLibrary’s archives. Learn how to deploy vSRX instances today!


IT’S DAY ONE AND YOU HAVE A JOB TO DO, SO LEARN HOW TO:

• Install vSRX’s prerequisite packages and configure and deploy an instance of vSRX on KVM.

• Create a single instance topology and then a multi-device topology using two vSRX instances.

• Design topologies for different use cases.

• Complete the three challenge topologies.

• Troubleshoot vSRX operations.
