Configuring a Device
ScreenOS software is preinstalled on SSG 500M Series devices. When the device is
started, it is ready to be configured. While the device has a default factory
configuration that allows you to initially connect to the device, you need to perform
further configuration for your specific network requirements.
This chapter includes the following sections:
“Default Device Settings” on page 34
“Accessing a Device” on page 35
“Basic Device Configuration” on page 37
“High Availability Configuration” on page 41
“WAN PIM Configuration” on page 43
“Basic Firewall Protections” on page 46
“Verifying External Connectivity” on page 47
“Resetting a Device to Factory Defaults” on page 47
NOTE: After you configure an SSG 500M Series device and verify connectivity through
the remote network, you must register your product at www.juniper.net/support/
so that certain ScreenOS services, such as Deep Inspection (DI) Signature Service
and Antivirus (AV), can be activated on the device. After registering your product,
use the WebUI to obtain the subscription for the service. For more information
about registering your product and obtaining subscriptions for specific services,
see the Fundamentals volume of the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference
Guide for ScreenOS 5.4.0.
