Chapter 12. Junos Security Services

The release of security services incorporated into Junos represents a significant step forward in solving the needs of enterprise networks. With these services, Juniper routers can fill most roles in the enterprise or act as all-in-one devices. This chapter is not intended to provide complete coverage of the new security capabilities found in Junos. The goal is to prepare the reader with enough information so that you can install a Juniper router as a security device in the enterprise. The features and capabilities are presented in a case scenario that positions the security device as an Internet egress firewall.

The security topics include:

  • A short history of security features found in Juniper products

  • A description of the scenario that is used to illustrate the various security features

  • A description of flow-based traffic processing

  • The security features supported in Junos
