Configuring the Device
ScreenOS software is preinstalled on SSG 500-series devices. When the device is
started, it is ready to be configured. While the device has a default factory
configuration that lets you initially connect to the device, you must perform further
configuration for your specific network requirements.
This chapter includes the following sections:
 “Accessing the Device” on page 30
 “Default Device Settings” on page 33
 “Basic Device Configuration” on page 33
 “High Availability Configuration” on page 37
 “PIM Configuration” on page 40
 “Basic Firewall Protections” on page 40
 “Verifying External Connectivity” on page 40
 “Restarting the Device” on page 41
 “Resetting the Device to Factory Defaults” on page 42
NOTE: After you configure an SSG 500-series device and verify connectivity through the
remote network, you must register your product at
http://www.juniper.net/customers/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, refer to the Fundamentals volume
of the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
