Port forward ?

 

Create the port forward in the network interface VIP ( using an existing
service, or create a custom service first )

Create a policy allowing that traffic port from anywhere external to the VIP

Well I think part of the frustration is that appears that to create a simple
port forward that sends all incoming traffic on a specific port to an
internal server (for example) requires 17 different “policies” and
“interfaces” and “zones”.  I’m exaggerating a bit, yes, but the Juniper
seems very powerful and ridiculously complex.  We’re not trying to do
anything fancy and it’s taken more than 2 days to get it even half working
and that’s with more than an hour of a Juniper support engineer remoting
into it and working on it themselves.

 

The old SnapGear 580s (before McAfee bought SnapGear at least) could be set
up for this in 15 minutes or so.  Even a newbie could figure out how to set
up a basic port forward fairly quickly.

 

I suspect we’ll like the Juniper…once we get a thousand pages or so deeper
into the documentation and figure out how to actually make the damned thing
do anything useful.  

 

We have one IPSEC tunnel created with it (created by the Juniper engineer).
The dashboard on the “Home” Screen says it’s “Inactive/Unused” but the VPN
monitor lists it as “Active”.   Ummm….o.k.

 

This morning my day started with a phone call from one of the local users
telling me they can’t even get on the web.  Good grief.

I agree with Andrew … I’ve been configuring the Juniper ‘screens for years
now, including the 5GT and SSG 5 that replaced it.

Granted, the Juniper is very different from a Cisco PIX/ASA firewall, and
different from Checkpoint.

I wonder if extensive knowledge of some other brand of firewall is what is
causing your minions problems with the Juniper.
