Hi
I have just acquired a SRX300 for my home office.
I am not a network engineer, or a systems administrator, if I scan a generated configuration, the errors don't leap out at me.
I do not have my licence details, yet (it seems that the goose-boy hasn't been out to pluck a quill from which the keeper of the pen-knife can fashion a nib to hand to the clerk of chancery that then issues the parchment upon which is scribed the required information), so I have no idea what is going on in my device as far as AV/anti-malware etc are concerned, and cannot upgrade software and firmware.
I have had great difficulty creating a configuration (through J-Web) that is usable. Some of the time the generated configuration was not committed.
In order to eliminate as much noise as possible from what was occurring, I decided to set up an internet zone, an internal zone, and two other zones for later testing. For the purposes of testing I configured the communication between the Internal Zone and the Internet Zone to allow everything through in both directions, and enabled - ping, dhcp, http, https, ssh and telnet, I even disabled httpsEverywhere.
This morning, after resetting the SRX I built a configuration that was initially rejected when I tried to commit it, but I resubmitted it, without change, and it was accepted. For about 40 minutes, everything appeared to work; briefly, even the link between Outlook and the remote Exchange server was functioning. I could synch files with my remote OneDrive. But gradually, everything became so slow it became unusable.
I did check that ping performance was acceptable, both from a connected workstation, and from the SRX300 itself, even when browsing was not possible. I gracefully rebooted the SRX and the workstation but to no avail. I did notice that some websites loaded before I finished a mug of coffee, but the spinner on the tab usually continued spinning. Meraki, strangely, loaded comparatively quickly, Juniper did not.
I connect to a FTTC VDSL2 service from BT (Infinity 2) 80/20. I use a Vigor 130 modem configured for PPPoE in Bridging mode (suggested by Draytek for BT connections with multicast). I am uncertain as to what the MTU should be as far as the SRX is concerned, I leave it at 1492, for now.
The browing performance, and inability to connect to the Exchange Server mean that the SRXis not currently usable. Unfortunately, I do not have the knowledge to put my finger on the problem, although I have bought what feels like half the Morgan Library and a new packet of highlighters. Any suggestions welcome. I have a copy of the configuration if required.
The above is the long version of HELP ;-((
