Do you see Juniper SRX becoming competitive with Palo & Forti?

I’m talking for enterprise customers and their main perimeter web firewall. I haven’t really seen SRX take off in this space a lot and it’s more popular for ISP networks. How does Security Director compare with Panorama etc?

Which email to use for certs, learning etc

Starting out on my juniper learning and hoping to get some training done and certs under my belt. Working for a (very soon to be) partner. Is it generally better to use my personal email for everything i sign up for like learning portal? or should i be using my work email to take advantage of any potential partner benefits? any tip/advice would be appreciated. Would rather get this right off the bat.

Juniper Validated Designs Rant

Hi,

I don’t want to give names here or expose anyone but we have worked along side the juniper validated designs team and I must admit, the experience is not been good, I wanted to collaborate here if any other customers shared the same experience as us or is this just a once off.

Everything is out sourced to India, and let me tell you guys what we have dealt with

They had to cancel constantly meetings because they break their own customer lab and cannot fix it, sometimes they take days to fix

They are all over the place, one engineer says something and the other doesn’t agree, or knows what he’s even talking about. One is updating documents and the others don’t even know, one joins halfway through a session and doesn’t know what’s going on

They are stressed, doing work in silos and not together, in one meeting one engineer got angry because he was working too much without a break and stuff wasn’t working.

In one session, a engineer was doing work behind the scenes during a demonstration and broke our entire setup, it took them 3 days to resolve and they broke it even further by getting confused with rollbacks

Anyone else experience this with JVD? Our experience (our entire team agreed) this is a disaster from Juniper to work with.

This shit is wild, and no this is NOT exaggerated or made up, this quality is from our experience has not been good

AP12 - 802.1X/MAB for WIRED clients on ports Eth2/Eth3?

Is it possible to configure ports Eth2/Eth3 on an AP12 to enable wired clients to authenticate onto the network via 802.1X/MAB?

The use case is a student housing area where we would like to provide wired service to the students.

I reviewed docs (Wired Assurance Guide, Teleworker Guide, and searched through Elevate forums) and am not finding anything that clearly states this is possible.

Thanks!

Homelab user, scavenged EX3400 won't boot

Hey folks, I picked up a discarded EX3400. When powered on the fans come on full blast for a moment, then slow down but are still running aggressively. The SYS light on the front blinks rapidly. Ive tried holding down the blue button to reset, but nothing happens.

I tried connecting to it through ethernet on the MGMT port on the back, and USB through the CON mini usb on the front but no response. I don't have a DB9-RJ45 cable to try the con port on the back.
I don't have access to the Junos software to try to reflash it via USB.

As a homelab guy who just was going to use it to run a bunch of cameras and home automation bricabrac via POE, is it worth it continuing down this path trying to resurrect it, or should I just cut my losses now?

How best to deliver L2 in metro enviroment

I have a need to deliver L2 links within a city. i have fiber network and have ring of legacy juniper swictches running RSTP now.. deilvering L2 over this setup currently. issue i have with this is ..its not scalable. i have had few broad case storms. i am thinking for replacing the switches with Ex 4600 and do EVPN-VXLAN (this was suggestion from reddit and a friend of mine). since this a fresh deployment...i thought its best to ask here if the EVPN-VXLAN will server. my target clients are Big ISPs who dont have last mile and also enterprises who need DC interconnect. am i dreaming or VXLAN will enable me deliver this without storms issue. i cant carry on with rstp any more. i have lost few clients due to storm.

Error after upgrade

Hi!

I've a Juniper QFX5100-48S. Recently I requested a software upgrade from 21.4R3-S4.5 to 21.4R3-S10.13.

After the upgrade I couldn't connect to the management port anymore, it didn't recognize the old configurations anymore. The status of the interface is Administry down but the physical up. I have the idea that the new version didn't react very well on the upgrade. I tried to rollback the versions with the builtin rollback but the switch couldn't process it.

My plan is to factory reset the switch, but before I do it, does anyone know what the problem could be? I'm working on a project regarding the Juniper upgrades, so I'll probaly get stuck on the same problem the next time I upgrade it.

Thanks!

Routes Link Between SRX5Ks using 100GB ports

I’m hoping someone here can help.

I’m trying to connect two SRX5Ks using 100GB ports mapped to a non-vlan-tagging reth interfaces.

I’ve configured all the usual settings i.e. SZ, IP addressing, host-inbound traffic ping etc.

I’ve configured RS-FEC on both ends. However, I can’t ping across from one cluster to another using the reth unit 0 IP addresses.

Any ideas?
