Aggressive mode is required when an IP address is dynamically assigned, such as through DHCP, as it allows for faster establishment with less identity verification. More details are available in Juniper IKE and IPsec Configuration Guide.

The configuration shown in the exhibit highlights that the RemoteSite1 SRX Series device is using DHCP to obtain an IP address for its external interface (ge-0/0/2). This introduces a challenge in IPsec VPN configurations when the public IP address of the remote site is not static, as is the case here.

Aggressive mode in IKE (Internet Key Exchange) is designed for situations where one or both peers have dynamically assigned IP addresses. In this scenario, aggressive mode allows the devices to exchange identifying information, such as hostnames, rather than relying on static IP addresses, which is necessary when the remote peer (RemoteSite1) has a dynamic IP from DHCP.

Correct Action (D): Changing the IKE policy mode to aggressive will resolve the issue by allowing the two devices to establish the VPN even though one of them is using DHCP. In aggressive mode, the initiator can present its identity (hostname) during the initial handshake, enabling the VPN to be established successfully.

Incorrect Options:

Option A: Changing the external interface to st0.0 is incorrect because the st0 interface is used for the tunnel interface, not for the IKE negotiation.

Option B: Changing to IKE version 2 would not resolve the dynamic IP issue directly, and IKEv1 works in this scenario.

Option C: Changing the IKE proposal set to basic doesn't address the dynamic IP challenge in this scenario.

Logical systems on SRX Series devices allow the creation of separate virtual routers, each with its unique RPD process. This segmentation ensures that routing and security policies are isolated across different logical systems, effectively acting like independent routers within a single SRX device. For further information, see Juniper Logical Systems Documentation.

To create multiple virtual routers on a single SRX Series device, each with its own unique copy of the routing protocol daemon (RPD) process, you need to use logical systems. Logical systems allow for the segmentation of an SRX device into multiple virtual routers, each with independent configurations, including routing instances, policies, and protocol daemons.

Explanation of Answer D (Logical System):

A logical system on an SRX device enables you to create multiple virtual instances of the SRX, each operating independently with its own control plane and routing processes. Each logical system gets a separate copy of the RPD process, ensuring complete isolation between virtual routers.

This is the correct solution when you need separate routing instances with their own RPD processes on the same physical device.

Configuration Example:

bash

set logical-systems interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0

set logical-systems routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.1.1

Policy Enforcer interacts with other network elements like EX switches to enforce blocking of infected hosts based on threat intelligence from ATP Cloud and other sources. For more information, refer to Juniper Policy Enforcer Documentation.

In a Juniper automated threat mitigation setup involving Security Director, Policy Enforcer, Juniper ATP Cloud, SRX Series, and EX Series switches, the Policy Enforcer is the component responsible for blocking infected hosts. The role of each component is as follows:

Policy Enforcer (Correct: Option A):Policy Enforcer receives threat intelligence from Juniper ATP Cloud and instructs SRX devices and EX Series switches to block or quarantine infected hosts. Policy Enforcer pushes policies to these devices to enforce the mitigation actions.

Security Director (Incorrect):Security Director provides centralized management and visibility but does not directly enforce policies.

Juniper ATP Cloud (Incorrect):Juniper ATP Cloud is responsible for analyzing threats and providing intelligence but does not take direct mitigation actions.

EX Series Switch (Incorrect):EX Series switches can enforce the policy pushed by Policy Enforcer but are not responsible for deciding which hosts to block.

The exhibit provides information about an SRX Series device operating in transparent mode (Layer 2) and Layer 3 routing at the same time. Let’s break down the correct answers:

Explanation of Answer B (Secure Inter-VLAN Traffic with a Security Policy):

The SRX device can secure inter-VLAN traffic because it supports security policies for Layer 3 traffic between different VLANs. In this case, traffic moving between different VLANs (i.e., Layer 3 traffic) can be processed and controlled using security policies.

Explanation of Answer C (Pass Layer 2 and Layer 3 Traffic Simultaneously):

The SRX device can handle both Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic simultaneously. In mixed mode, the device is capable of switching traffic at Layer 2 (intra-VLAN) while also routing traffic at Layer 3 (inter-VLAN). This is evident from the global configuration showing transparent bridge mode and Layer 3 interfaces.

Juniper Security Reference:

Mixed Mode Overview: Juniper SRX devices in mixed mode can operate as both a Layer 2 switch and a Layer 3 router, allowing it to pass traffic at both layers simultaneously. Reference: Juniper Mixed Mode Documentation.
