I am a novice at JunOS and am just getting my feet wet in setting up this SRX240 device. I got past the first stumble which was the device not running JWeb until a root password was set, and now have JWeb running.
This device is being used to run an extensive home network that has approximately 120 devices hooked up to it - bitcoin miners, 8-10 computers at any one time, multiple NAS devices with ~100 TB storage, 2 PS4s, 2 Xboxes, TVs, Blu-ray players, a stereo running an internet radio, etc. I previously was running this through a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 but found that the R8000 was overheating and needing frequent resets. Therefore I upped my game to a router that could handle the traffic. My hope is to eventually bring my business server in house instead of using a hosting service.
Two issues (at least) now. I ran through the setup wizard and set up port 0 as the internet port connected to the cable modem, set up a DMZ on ports 2-4 for future use of my business web site, and set ports 5-15 up as Internal. I then set a zone policy (temporarily) with all services and ports open on the Internal network. I am a newbie at JunOS, and just wanted to test the configuration. I will of course later set up some restrictions on the Internal network.
First of all, when using the wizard the SRX240 creates a vlan1 connection that supposedly contains all of the chassis ports 5-15, but although it asks about what connections to allow the wizard apparently does not create a zone policy for these chassis ports. I had to go and manually add a policy for each of these ports.
The SRX240 was then able to connect all my computers and bitcoin miners, and I had full access to the web as expected. I was not able to set up a connection to the PS4s. When I went to the PS4s "setup a network connection" and tried automatically to obtain an IP address from DHCP it failed. I then set up a manual IP address on the PS4s on the 192.168.1.* subnet but connection testing failed. I understand the PS4 uses NAT to connect, but I do not know how to set this up on the Juniper router yet.
I also tried to connect the Netgear Nighthawk R8000 router in AP mode. The R8000 should have been assigned an IP on the 192.168.1.* subdomain, but this did not happen. Various attempts have shown the R8000 to continue to keep it's original 192.168.1.1 IP, or switch to 10.0.0.1. I am not sure what I need to do to get the SRX240 to assign it an IP in the 192.168.1.* subdomain.
I know that this is a lot of information, and I am asking a lot of questions. I appreciate any help that you can give me. I am an engineer by training and am pretty good at picking up this stuff, but I am also a cardiologist and this is really a weekend warrior project for me. Any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
