What is a Juniper Firewall?
Juniper Networks has several legacy firewall product lines that have reached their end-of-life and are no longer actively marketed or supported. These legacy Juniper Firewall platforms include:
The Juniper NetScreen Firewall series which was a popular line of firewall products that offered robust security features and high-performance network protection including deep packet inspection, virtual private network (VPN) capabilities. It was widely used by enterprises and service providers.
The Juniper SSG Firewall series, also known as Secure Services Gateway, was a line of firewalls designed for small to medium-sized businesses and branch office environments. These firewalls provided network security features such as packet inspection, VPN support, intrusion prevention, and content filtering.
Juniper Networks generally encourages customers to migrate to newer firewall platforms, such as the SRX Series, to take advantage of the latest security features and ongoing support.
How to monitor Juniper Firewalls?
