Description
Written by key members of Juniper Network's principal ScreenOS support and field engineering teams, this book offers a guide to managing secure networks that run ScreenOS firewall appliances. The recipes collected address a wide range of security issues, provide step-by-step solutions, and include discussions of why the recipes work. The real- world fixes, techniques, and configurations provided here come directly from the experiences of engineers who have worked with every ScreenOS network topology, from small branch office firewalls to appliances for large enterprise, government, and protocol-driven service provider networks. The audience for the book includes those charged with managing, operating, and configuring Juniper Networks' ScreenOS security devices, including skilled network administrators and engineers with medium-level knowledge of ScreenOS, and medium- to advanced-level network security administrators and engineers who are coming from another vendor's product line. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the ScreenOS CLI, and with firewalls, VPNs, network security issues, TCP/IP, routing basics, and routing protocols. Brunner is a technology consultant.
