Bottom paragraph

The policy zone match stated for the policy is trust > web-dmz but this should be trust > trust, since the example on the previous pages uses an incorrect route lookup which matches ge-0/0/0.0 as the outbound interface.

I believe the policy permit-to-internet-any that is designed to allow dept_b_users to access the internet would also give them full access to the mail server in the next policy (permit_b_to_mail).

This policy would work because mail traffic would be allowed but, it seems to me like it would also allow other traffic from Department B which is in compliance with the stated goal but, the policies seem to suggest that restricting traffic from Department B is the goal.

"1.1.1.0/24" --> "198.18.31.0/24"

All 5 references in this paragraph to "1.1.1" should actually be "198.18.31" in keeping with the example provided on this page.

After setting the interface for this ike gateway (Remote-Office3), the next command is "sec security...." The security option is not valid in the "edit security ike gateway Remote-Office3" section. I also found an error in the ...Office1 section.

My SRX is running 11.4R1.6

Update to prior entry:

Just add "top" to the beginning of the "set security..." command and it works.

In the above from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy East-Branch-Inbound "match" is wrong, the match is meant for from-zone untrust to-zone trust East-Branch-Inbound

.

Page 350 is saying:
"Since this is the first firewall filter you?ve seen in this book,
let?s go over the basics."

But you showed some firewall filters just few pages ago (page 344 and 345).

The Checking IPS Status mentions two examples.

For the first example (Inactive IPS example), there is the corresponding SRX console output.

However, for the second example (Active IPS Policy), only the header is present, and all of the console output is missing.

Paragraph near bottom after code

Text on page 497:

"Here, access to http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com/us/en/new_network/ is allowed because the URL belongs to the whitelist, whereas access to any other URL in the http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com domain is denied."


The text is refering to URL's listed on page 496:

[edit security utm custom-objects]
set url-pattern allowed-urls value http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com
set url-pattern blocked-urls value
http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com/us/en/new_network/


The author has swapped this whitelist item with the blacklist item.

Should read:

[edit security utm custom-objects]
set url-pattern allowed-urls value
http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com/us/en/new_network/
set url-pattern blocked-urls value http://www.thenewnetworkishere.com

4th Paragraph

The first sentence of the fourth paragraph reads: "As discussed throughput this book, ..."

I believe throughput is a typo, and is meant to read: "As discussed throughout this book, ..."

Very minor, but every bit helps!

Last two paragraphs

These two paragrphs, and the next on the following page, were probably meant to show the output of a "show interfaces ......." command giving an example of increasing send and receive statistics. Now were are just given a copy of part of the configuration from the preceding page.

3rd paragraph

Text states " As of Junos 10.2, it is possible to use dual fabric links on the branch SRX Series devices. Even if a control link and a fabric link were to fail, the last remaining control link would prevent split brain from occuring "

However, dual control links are not supported in branch SRX series ; Only dual fabric links.

Therefore, if a control link is to fail, does this mean that a fabric link converts to a control link to prevent split brain (it sure doesn't in practice) ?

Branch SRX will go split brain if the control link fails.

although earlier (and later) what is implemented is not "rip" but "aggregate":
