JN0-636 Practice Exam Questions with Answers Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) Certification

An IKE security association (SA) is a set of parameters that define how the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol will authenticate and establish the secure channel between the IPsec VPN peers. When you configure an IPsec VPN, one IKE SA is created between the peers, regardless of how many CoS forwarding classes are used to separate the traffic. The SA will be used to negotiate the IPsec SA parameters, such as encryption algorithms and keys.

In this scenario, only 1 IKE security association is required between the IPsec peers, no matter how many CoS forwarding classes are used to separate the voice and data traffic.

According to the output of the command show configuration services security-intelligence url, the SRX Series device is directly enrolled with Juniper ATP Cloud. This is indicated by the URL https://cloudfeeds.argon.junipersecurity.net/api/manifest.xml , which is the default URL for Juniper ATP Cloud1. This means that the device is not enrolled with Policy Enforcer, which would use a different URL that includes the IP address of the Policy Enforcer server2. Therefore, the problem in this scenario is that the device is directly enrolled with Juniper ATP Cloud, which prevents it from being enrolled with Policy Enforcer.

To enroll the device with Policy Enforcer, the user needs to disenroll the device from Juniper ATP Cloud first. This can be done by using the following command:

delete services security-intelligence url

This command will remove the Juniper ATP Cloud URL from the device configuration and stop the device from receiving threat feeds from Juniper ATP Cloud1. After that, the user can enroll the device with Policy Enforcer by using the Security Director GUI or the SLAX script2.

To provide single sign-on (SSO) to Juniper ATP Cloud, you need to configure the following:

• Microsoft Azure as the identity provider (IdP): This allows users to authenticate to Juniper ATP Cloud using their Azure credentials.
• Juniper ATP Cloud as the service provider (SP): This allows Juniper ATP Cloud to accept the authentication from Microsoft Azure and provide SSO access to the users.

Configuring Microsoft Azure as the service provider (SP) and Juniper ATP Cloud as the identity provider (IdP) are not the correct steps to provide SSO, as the roles are reversed.

Referring to the exhibit, your company’s infrastructure team implemented new printers. To make sure that the policy enforcer pushes the updated IP address list to the SRX, you need to perform the following actions:

• A. Configure the server feed URL as http://172.25.10.254/myprinters. The server feed URL is the address of the remote server that provides the custom feed data. You need to configure the server feed URL to match the location of the file that contains the IP addresses of the new printers. In this case, the file name is myprinters and the server IP address is 172.25.10.254, so the server feed URL should be http://172.25.10.254/myprinters1.
• B. Create a security policy that uses the dynamic address feed to allow access. A security policy is a rule that defines the action to be taken for the traffic that matches the specified criteria, such as source and destination addresses, zones, protocols, ports, and applications. You need to create a security policy that uses the dynamic address feed as the source or destination address to allow access to the new printers. A dynamic address feed is a custom feed that contains a group of IP addresses that can be entered manually or imported from external sources. The dynamic address feed can be used in security policies to either deny or allow traffic based on either source or destination IP criteria2.
• C. Configure Security Director to create a dynamic address feed. Security Director is a Junos Space application that enables you to create and manage security policies and objects. You need to configure Security Director to create a dynamic address feed that contains the IP addresses of the new printers. You can create a dynamic address feed by using the local file or the remote file server option. In this case, you should use the remote file server option and specify the server feed URL as http://172.25.10.254/myprinters3.

The other options are incorrect because:

• D. Configuring Security Director to create a C&C feed is not required to complete the requirement. A C&C feed is a security intelligence feed that contains the IP addresses of servers that are used by malware or attackers to communicate with infected hosts. The C&C feed is not related to the new printers or the dynamic address feed.
• E. Configuring the server feed URL as https://172.25.10.254/myprinters is not required to complete the requirement. The server feed URL can use either the HTTP or the HTTPS protocol, depending on the configuration of the remote server. In this case, the exhibit shows that the remote server is using the HTTP protocol, so the server feed URL should use the same protocol1.

Proxy ARP is a technique used by routers to answer ARP requests on one network segment on behalf of hosts on another network segment. This is useful in situations where a host on one network segment needs to communicate with a host on another network segment, but the two hosts are not directly connected. In this case, the router acts as a proxy, answering ARP requests on behalf of the other host. In the exhibit, the vSRX device is configured to use a pool of addresses that are in the same subnet as the external interface ge-0/0/0 for source NAT. This means that the vSRX device will translate the source IP address of the internal hosts to one of the addresses in the pool before sending the packets to the external network. However, the external hosts will not know how to reach the NATed addresses, since they are not directly connected to the vSRX device. They will send ARP requests for the NATed addresses, expecting to receive a MAC address from the vSRX device. If proxy ARP is not enabled on the vSRX device, it will not respond to these ARP requests, since it does not have the NATed addresses configured on its interface. The ARP requests will time out and the packets will be dropped by the external hosts or the service provider router. To solve this problem, proxy ARP must be enabled on the vSRX device for the NATed addresses. This will allow the vSRX device to respond to the ARP requests from the external hosts, providing its own MAC address as the destination. The external hosts will then send the packets to the vSRX device, which will reverse the NAT and forward the packets to the internal hosts. References:

The three profiles that are configurable in a threat prevention policy are infected host profile, C&C profile, and malware profile. A threat prevention policy is a feature of Juniper ATP Cloud that provides protection and monitoring for selected threat profiles, including command and control servers, infected hosts, and malware. Using feeds from Juniper ATP Cloud and optional custom feeds that you configure, ingress and egress traffic is monitored for suspicious content and behavior. Based on a threat score, detected threats are evaluated and action may be taken once a verdict is reached. You can create a threat prevention policy by selecting one or more of the following profiles:

• Infected host profile: This profile detects and blocks traffic from hosts that are infected with malware or compromised by attackers. You can configure the threat score thresholds and the actions for different levels of severity. You can also enable Geo IP filtering to block traffic from or to specific countries or regions.
• C&C profile: This profile detects and blocks traffic to or from command and control servers that are used by attackers to control malware or botnets. You can configure the threat score thresholds and the actions for different levels of severity. You can also enable Geo IP filtering to block traffic from or to specific countries or regions.
• Malware profile: This profile detects and blocks traffic that contains malware or malicious content. You can configure the threat score thresholds and the actions for different levels of severity. You can also enable protocol-specific settings for HTTP and SMTP traffic, such as file type filtering, file size filtering, and file name filtering.

The other two profiles, device profile and SSL proxy profile, are not configurable in a threat prevention policy. A device profile is a feature of Policy Enforcer that defines the device type, the device group, and the device settings for the SRX Series devices that are enrolled with Juniper ATP Cloud. An SSL proxy profile is a feature of SRX Series devices that enables SSL proxy to decrypt and inspect SSL/TLS traffic for threats and policy violations.

The following statements are true regarding tenant systems on SRX Series devices:

• Each tenant system runs its own instance of the routing protocol process. Each tenant system is isolated, and it has its own routing table, interfaces, and security policies.
• A maximum of 500 tenant systems can be configured on a physical SRX device. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and scalability, as each tenant system can be configured with its own set of features and security policies.

A maximum of 32 tenant systems can be configured on a physical SRX device and All tenant systems share a single routing protocol process are not correct statements

A logical system is a virtualization feature in SRX Series devices that allows you to create multiple, isolated virtual routers within a single physical device. Each logical system has its own routing table, firewall policies, and interfaces, and it can be managed and configured independently of the other logical systems. Logical systems are an effective way to isolate different administrative domains and to support a large number of virtualized instances.

According to the Juniper documentation, the solution that would best meet the requirements of deploying a virtualization solution with the security devices in the network is logical systems. Logical systems are a feature that allows the SRX Series device to be partitioned into multiple logical devices, each with its own discrete administrative domain, routing table, firewall policies, VPNs, and interfaces1. Each logical system can support up to 100 virtualized instances, depending on the SRX Series model and the available resources2.

The following solutions are not suitable or incorrect for this scenario:

• VRF instances: VRF instances are a type of routing instance that allows the SRX Series device to maintain multiple routing tables for different VPNs or customers. However, VRF instances do not provide separate administrative domains, firewall policies, or interfaces for each instance3.
• Virtual router instances: Virtual router instances are a type of routing instance that allows the SRX Series device to create multiple logical routers, each with its own routing table and interfaces. However, virtual router instances do not provide separate administrative domains or firewall policies for each instance.
• Tenant systems: Tenant systems are a feature that allows the SRX Series device to create multiple logical devices, each with its own discrete administrative domain, routing table, firewall policies, VPNs, and interfaces. However, tenant systems are only supported on the SRX1500, SRX4100, and SRX4200 devices, and each tenant system can only support up to 10 virtualized instances.

The solution to this problem is to enable address persistence. This will ensure that the same external IP address is used for multiple sessions between an internal host and an external host. This will result in only one authentication being required, as the same external IP address will be used for all sessions.

The exhibit shows the output of the show security macsec statistics interface ge-0/0/70 detail command on an SRX Series device. This command displays the statistics for the Media Access Control Security (MACsec) feature on the ge-0/0/70 interface. MACsec is a feature that provides point-to-point security on Ethernet links by using encryption and data integrity checks. MACsec uses two types of keys to secure the traffic: the Connectivity Association Key (CAK) and the Secure Association Key (SAK). The CAK is used for authentication and key exchange between the MACsec peers. The SAK is used for encryption and decryption of the MACsec traffic.

The two statements that are true based on the exhibit are:

• The data that traverses the ge-0/0/70 interface is secured by a secure association key. This is because the exhibit shows that the interface has a Secure Channel (SC) and a Secure Association (SA) established. The SC is a logical connection between the MACsec peers that carries the encrypted traffic. The SA is a subset of the SC that contains the SAK and other parameters for encrypting and decrypting the traffic. The exhibit shows that the interface has encrypted and protected packets, which means that the traffic is secured by the SAK.
• The data that traverses the ge-0/0/70 interface cannot be intercepted and read by anyone. This is because the exhibit shows that the interface has encryption enabled. The encryption option indicates whether the MACsec traffic is encrypted or not. If encryption is enabled, the traffic is encrypted by the SAK and cannot be viewed by anyone monitoring the link. If encryption is disabled, the traffic is only protected by the SAK and can be viewed by anyone monitoring the link.

DNS doctoring is a feature that allows the SRX Series firewall to modify the IP address in a DNS response based on a static NAT rule. This can be useful when the DNS server returns an IP address that is not reachable by the client, such as a private IP address or an IP address from a different network. To use DNS doctoring, the following requirements must be met:

• The DNS ALG must be enabled. The DNS ALG is responsible for parsing the DNS messages and performing the IP address translation. The DNS ALG can be enabled globally or per security policy. To enable the DNS ALG globally, use the command set security alg dns enable. To enable the DNS ALG per security policy, use the command set security policies from-zone zone1 to-zone zone2 policy policy1 then permit application-services application-firewall rule-set rule-set-name application junos-dns.
• Static NAT must be configured for the IP address that needs to be translated. Static NAT is a type of NAT that maps a fixed IP address to another fixed IP address. Static NAT can be configured using the command set security nat static rule-set rule-set-name rule rule-name match destination-address address and set security nat static rule-set rule-set-name rule rule-name then static-nat prefix prefix. References:

The SRX Series device in transparent mode uses packet flooding to learn about unknown devices in a network. Packet flooding is a process wherein the device sends out packets to every device it knows about or suspects in the network. When the packets are returned, the device can identify and classify the unknown devices in the network.

The two valid modes for the Juniper ATP Appliance are all-in-one and core. The all-in-one mode is a single appliance that performs both the collector and the core functions. The collector function collects traffic from the network and sends it to the core function for analysis and detection. The core function performs the threat detection, mitigation, and analytics. The all-in-one mode is suitable for small to medium-sized networks that do not require high scalability or performance. The core mode is a dedicated appliance that performs only the core function. The core mode is used in conjunction with one or more collector appliances that collect traffic from the network and send it to the core appliance for analysis and detection. The core mode is suitable for large-scale networks that require high scalability and performance. References: Juniper Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) Reference Materials source and documents: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/security-atp-appliance-overview.html

The result of adding the count action to a security policy can be seen in the show security policies detail command output. The count action is a feature that allows you to enable statistics collection for sessions that enter the device for a given policy, and for the number of packets and bytes that pass through the device in both directions for a given policy. The count action can help you to monitor the traffic that matches a security policy and to troubleshoot security policy issues. The show security policies detail command displays the detailed information about the security policies configured on the device, including the count statistics. The output shows the number of packets and bytes that have been processed by the policy in both directions, as well as the number of sessions that have been created by the policy. You can use this command to verify that the count action is working as expected and to see the traffic volume and session count for each policy. References: Juniper Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) Reference Materials source and documents: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/command-summary/show-security-policies-detail.html https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/security-policy-count-overview.html

According to the trace options output in the exhibit, the following statements are correct:

• This packet is part of an existing session. This is indicated by the line flow session id 0x00000000, hash 0x00000000, table 0x00000000, flow process exit, which shows that the packet matches an existing session entry in the flow table1.
• The SRX device is changing the destination address on this packet from 10.0.1.1 to 172.20.101.10. This is indicated by the line nat: translated 10.0.1.1->172.20.101.10, which shows that the packet undergoes destination NAT2.

The following statements are incorrect:

• The SRX device is changing the source address on this packet. There is no indication of source NAT in the trace options output2.
• This is the first packet in the session. The first packet in a session would have a different trace options output, which would include the line flow_first_inline_processing and show the creation of a new session entry in the flow table1.

This is the port used for encrypted communication between the SRX series device and the Juniper ATP Appliance

In order to enroll an SRX Series device with Juniper ATP Appliance, the firewall device must have port 443 open. Port 443 is the default port used for HTTPS traffic, the communication between the SRX Series device and the ATP Appliance needs to be encrypted, that's why this port should be opened.

The command that will allow traffic to bypass the SRX Series device flow daemon based on the source address is set firewall family inet filter bypass_flowd term t1 then packet-mode. This command configures a stateless firewall filter named bypass_flowd that has one term t1. The term t1 can match the traffic based on the source address or any other criteria. The term t1 then applies the action packet-mode, which means that the traffic will be forwarded using packet-based processing and will not be sent to the flow daemon for stateful inspection. This feature is known as selective stateless packet-based forwarding and it allows you to use both flow-based and packet-based forwarding on the same device for different types of traffic. You can apply the firewall filter to the input or output direction of an interface to enable selective stateless packet-based forwarding for the traffic passing through that interface. References: Juniper Security, Professional (JNCIP-SEC) Reference Materials source and documents: https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/firewall-filter-option-filter-based-forwarding-overview.html https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/example/filter-based-forwarding-example.html

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/topic-map/security-pr ofile-logical-system.html

To modify the configuration to fulfill the requirements, you need to modify the log-all term to add the next term action. The other options are incorrect because:

• B. Deleting the log-all term would prevent logging all traffic, which is one of the requirements. The log-all term matches all traffic from any source address and logs it to the system log file1.
• C. Adding a term before the log-all term that blocks Telnet would also prevent logging all traffic, because the log-all term would never be reached. The firewall filter evaluates the terms in sequential order and applies the first matching term. If a term before the log-all term blocks Telnet, then the log-all term would not match any traffic and no logging would occur2.
• D. Applying a firewall filter to the loopback interface that blocks Telnet traffic would not block inbound Telnet traffic on interface ge-0/0/3, which is another requirement. The loopback interface is a logical interface that is always up and reachable. It is used for routing and management purposes, not for filtering traffic on physical interfaces3.

Therefore, the correct answer is A. You need to modify the log-all term to add the next term action. The next term action instructs the firewall filter to continue evaluating the subsequent terms after matching the current term. This way, the log-all term would log all traffic and then proceed to the block-telnet term, which would block only inbound Telnet traffic on interface ge-0/0/34. To modify the log-all term to add the next term action, you need to perform the following steps:

• Enter the configuration mode: user@host> configure
• Navigate to the firewall filter hierarchy: user@host# edit firewall family inet filter block-telnet
• Add the next term action to the log-all term: user@host# set term log-all then next term
• Commit the changes: user@host# commit

The exhibit shows the configuration of filter-based forwarding on an SRX Series device. Filter-based forwarding is a feature that allows the device to use firewall filters to direct traffic to different routing instances based on the match criteria. In this scenario, the device has two routing instances - ISP-1 and ISP-2 - and two firewall filters - FBF and FBF-ISP-1. The FBF filter is applied to the ge-0/0/1 interface as an input filter. The FBF filter has one term that matches the traffic from the 172.25.0.0/24 network and directs it to the ISP-1 routing instance. The ISP-1 routing instance has a static route to the next hop 172.20.0.2. The FBF-ISP-1 filter is applied to the ge-0/0/0 interface as an output filter. The FBF-ISP-1 filter has one term that matches the traffic to the 172.20.0.2 next hop and sets the forwarding class to expedited-forwarding.

The problem in this scenario is that the traffic from the other network (172.25.1.0/24) is not being forwarded to the upstream 172.21.0.2 neighbor. This is because the FBF filter does not have a term that accepts the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network. The FBF filter only has one term that matches the traffic from the 172.25.0.0/24 network and directs it to the ISP-1 routing instance. The traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network does not match this term and is therefore discarded by the implicit deny action at the end of the filter. The traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network should be forwarded to the ISP-2 routing instance, which has a static default route to the next hop 172.21.0.2.

To solve this problem, you must add another term to the FBF filter to accept the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network. This term should have the action accept, which means that the traffic will be forwarded according to the routing table of the master routing instance. The master routing instance has a static default route to the ISP-2 routing instance, which in turn has a static default route to the next hop 172.21.0.2. By adding this term, the traffic from the 172.25.1.0/24 network will be forwarded to the upstream 172.21.0.2 neighbor as expected.

The configuration of the new term in the FBF filter could look something like this:

[edit firewall family inet filter FBF] term 2 { from { source-address { 172.25.1.0/24; } } then { accept; } }

To share threat intelligence from your environment with third party tools, you need to enable Juniper ATP Cloud to share threat intelligence and configure application tokens in the Juniper ATP Cloud to limit who has access. The other options are incorrect because:

• A. Configuring application tokens in the SRX Series firewalls is not necessary or sufficient to share threat intelligence with third party tools. Application tokens are used to authenticate and authorize requests to the Juniper ATP Cloud API, which can be used to perform various operations such as submitting files, querying C&C feeds, and managing allowlists and blocklists1. However, to share threat intelligence with third party tools, you need to enable the TAXII service in the Juniper ATP Cloud, which is a different protocol for exchanging threat information2.
• D. Enabling SRX Series firewalls to share threat intelligence with third party tools is not possible or supported. SRX Series firewalls can send potentially malicious objects and files to the Juniper ATP Cloud for analysis and receive threat intelligence from the Juniper ATP Cloud to block malicious traffic3. However, SRX Series firewalls cannot directly share threat intelligence with third party tools. You need to use the Juniper ATP Cloud as the intermediary for threat intelligence sharing.

Therefore, the correct answer is B and C. You need to enable Juniper ATP Cloud to share threat intelligence and configure application tokens in the Juniper ATP Cloud to limit who has access. To do so, you need to perform the following steps:

• Enable and configure the TAXII service in the Juniper ATP Cloud. TAXII (Trusted Automated eXchange of Indicator Information) is a protocol for communication over HTTPS of threat information between parties. STIX (Structured Threat Information eXpression) is a language used for reporting and sharing threat information using TAXII. Juniper ATP Cloud can contribute to STIX reports by sharing the threat intelligence it gathers from file scanning. Juniper ATP Cloud also uses threat information from STIX reports as well as other sources for threat prevention2. To enable and configure the TAXII service, you need to select Configure > Threat Intelligence Sharing in the Juniper ATP Cloud WebUI, move the knob to the right to Enable TAXII, and move the slidebar to designate a file sharing threshold2.
• Configure application tokens in the Juniper ATP Cloud. Application tokens are used to authenticate and authorize requests to the Juniper ATP Cloud API and the TAXII service. You can create and manage application tokens in the Juniper ATP Cloud WebUI by selecting Configure > Application Tokens. You can specify the name, description, expiration date, and permissions of each token. You can also revoke or delete tokens as needed. You can use the application tokens to limit who has access to your shared threat intelligence by granting or denying permissions to the TAXII service1.

You are required to secure a network against malware. You must ensure that in the event that a compromised host is identified within the network, the host is isolated from the rest of the network. In this scenario, after a threat has been identified, the two components that are responsible for enforcing MAC-level infected host are:

• C. Policy Enforcer. Policy Enforcer is a software solution that integrates with Juniper ATP Cloud and Juniper ATP Appliance to provide automated threat remediation across the network. Policy Enforcer can receive threat intelligence feeds from Juniper ATP Cloud or Juniper ATP Appliance and apply them to the security policies on the SRX Series devices and the EX Series devices. Policy Enforcer can also enforce MAC-level infected host, which is a feature that allows you to quarantine a compromised host by blocking its MAC address on the switch port. Policy Enforcer can communicate with the EX Series devices and instruct them to apply the MAC-level infected host policy to the infected host1.
• D. EX Series device. EX Series devices are Ethernet switches that can provide Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities and security features. EX Series devices can integrate with Policy Enforcer and Juniper ATP Cloud or Juniper ATP Appliance to provide automated threat remediation across the network. EX Series devices can support MAC-level infected host, which is a feature that allows them to quarantine a compromised host by blocking its MAC address on the switch port. EX Series devices can receive instructions from Policy Enforcer and apply the MAC-level infected host policy to the infected host2.

The other options are incorrect because:

• A. SRX Series device. SRX Series devices are high-performance firewalls that can provide Layer 3 and Layer 4 security features and integrate with Juniper ATP Cloud or Juniper ATP Appliance to provide advanced threat prevention. SRX Series devices can receive threat intelligence feeds from Juniper ATP Cloud or Juniper ATP Appliance and apply them to the security policies. However, SRX Series devices cannot enforce MAC-level infected host, which is a feature that requires Layer 2 switching capabilities and is supported by EX Series devices3.
• B. Juniper ATP Appliance. Juniper ATP Appliance is a hardware solution that provides advanced threat prevention by detecting and blocking malware, ransomware, and other cyberattacks. Juniper ATP Appliance can analyze the network traffic and identify the compromised hosts based on their behavior and communication patterns. Juniper ATP Appliance can also send threat intelligence feeds to Policy Enforcer and SRX Series devices to enable automated threat remediation across the network. However, Juniper ATP Appliance cannot enforce MAC-level infected host, which is a feature that requires Layer 2 switching capabilities and is supported by EX Series devices.

To answer this question, you need to know what transparent mode is and what types of traffic it permits. Transparent mode is a mode of operation for SRX Series devices that provides Layer 2 bridging capabilities with full security services. In transparent mode, the SRX Series device acts as a bridge between two network segments and inspects the packets without modifying the source or destination information in the IP packet header. The SRX Series device does not have an IP address in transparent mode, except for the management interface1. Therefore, the types of traffic that will be permitted in transparent mode are:

• A. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) traffic. ARP is a protocol that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. ARP traffic is a type of Layer 2 traffic that does not require an IP address on the SRX Series device. ARP traffic is permitted in transparent mode to allow the SRX Series device to learn the MAC addresses of the hosts on the bridged network segments2.
• B. Layer 2 non-IP multicast traffic. Layer 2 non-IP multicast traffic is a type of traffic that uses MAC addresses to send data to multiple destinations. Layer 2 non-IP multicast traffic does not require an IP address on the SRX Series device. Layer 2 non-IP multicast traffic is permitted in transparent mode to allow the SRX Series device to forward data to the appropriate destinations on the bridged network segments3.

The other options are incorrect because:

• C. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) traffic. BGP is a protocol that exchanges routing information between autonomous systems. BGP traffic is a type of Layer 3 traffic that requires an IP address on the SRX Series device. BGP traffic is not permitted in transparent mode, because the SRX Series device does not have an IP address in transparent mode, except for the management interface1.
• D. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) traffic. IPsec is a protocol that provides security and encryption for IP packets. IPsec traffic is a type of Layer 3 traffic that requires an IP address on the SRX Series device. IPsec traffic is not permitted in transparent mode, because the SRX Series device does not have an IP address in transparent mode, except for the management interface1.
