Having used the Netscreen OS for the past 10 years, switching to the Juniper OS presents a bit of a learning curve. The SRX is manageable by CLI and GUI. You'll need both interfaces to manage the device. The GUI is quirky. At first I thought the web-management interface was constantly crashing. Eventually I figured out how to navigate the interface. For me, Chrome appeared to be the best browser to use. Don't be afraid to click a second or third time when the configuration "fails". Then again, keep the CLI handy and be ready to use restart web-management through the CLI. Forget about the Netsreen order of events as the Juniper doesn't necessarily follow the same order. There are a couple of wizards available for configuring VPNs. I found one on Juniper's site that creates the code for use in the CLI. Once the code is created, you simply cut and paste it into the CLI. There's also a wizard inside the GUI of the device. I used both and when it was all said and done, I was able to clean up all the code manually and come up with a clean configuration. This approach of using the wizard and then editing the code was probably the best learning training one could take for replacing 10 years of Junos experience. I used this device to connect to an existing Juniper/Netscreen VPN mesh. It worked well with route based tunnels. Lots of challenges with policy-based tunnels. The box supports 65 route-based tunnels, so no issues with capacity. The bottom line - powerful enterprise grade device. New operating system for Netscreen users. Like everything else, there's a learning curve if you are new to Junos.Read full review
