Juniper SRX Series: A Comprehensive Guide to Security Services on the SRX Series

llego muy bien

I have given this tomb 5 stars because the information it contains is brilliant. As a previous reviewer has stated, there are numerous annoying errors both in the diagrams and in writing. Whilst this is annoying and does detract from the book it is still worthy of 5 stars, its information is just that good. It covers all aspects of the SRX in fantastic detail and makes it very easy to understand.There are some great hints and tips covered throughout the book.I work with both the Branch and Data Center SRX platform every day and this book has taught me a great deal. It has increased my knowledge not just on the SRX but on Junos as a whole.If you are learning or working with the SRX then I highly recommend this as a study source or simply a reference to have on your desk at all times.

While someone with a lot of Junos experience might find this book helpful, I was discouraged and left with many questions. I have years of experience with IPsec with other brands of devices. Yes there is some useful information in the book, but I considered most of the information basic with no depth. Could it be my expectations were more? Sure. I have almost no useful experience with the SRX. None. While I have an SRX650 purchased for IPsec alone, I found the book lacking good explanation of both IPsec and certificates. Like what types of certificates are supported and how the heck are they installed? Can a identity certificate and key be imported and how? Can a site to site tunnel be supported in a wheel and spoke dynamically? Or does each tunnel need to be configured individually? Dynamic VPN's are supported, but that is not an answer to site to site. I know networking, but not from the Juniper perspective and found some of the terms hard to understand. If I had a chance to read the IPsec chapter before purchasing I could have saved the money. Does that mean the authors aren't smart people? Heck no. Just not a book I needed or expected.

This is THE go-to book for all things SRX. A little long in the tooth as it doesn't cover any of the latest SRX refresh but the basic nuts and bolts of SRX architecture and SRX configuration is the same. If you're tasked with managing Juniper SRX you need this on your shelf as a reference.

The book a little dated now, as new code has come out with new features and different ways to configure things, and despite the numerous typos and possibly configuration problems with the examples, its still an adequate overview.Just don't get this thinking you can read it and go take the IE exam.

This book is a brilliant update to the previous edition. It keeps current with the growing network security landscape, small and large. I feel it is a primer for current and future trends of Data Center security as seen through the eyes of the SRX. It is not a one-sided vendor approach since Juniper SRXs adopt industry standards.The knowledge gained through this book will provide a solid baseline of what is discussed most in today's business-critical networks and how SRXs are configured as such, to provide the necessary services. This book covers technical depth, architectural considerations and troubleshooting.

Perhaps it is just me but even though Cisco is complicated I am still able to configure an ASA easier than Juniper products. This book while very lengthy didn't help and in fact Juniper's buggy software only added to the problems.My sense is that the authors did their best but their treatment was ultimately lacking.

I found tons of grammatical errors and some of the examples did match cli images. Minor oversights really, but the amount of these errors is extremely frustrating. The book contains excellent reference material and is quite good.

This book explains 'how to' not 'why to'. configure SRX firewalls. It wont tell you how they work, or why we do NAT, for example. For that you need to read up yourself.Bought this as a 'so your boss has bought an SRX' how to guide and it delivers!Every question Ive had on configuration ive found in here. NAT, Routing, Policing, packet captures etc. Its great. Cant recommend enoughThis

excellent book should have been text book for engineers tackling concepts namely UTM or IPSec, giving me steps in the right direction. Good clear concise concepts to follow.

Great Book! Must read !

Exactly what I expected.
