Brownfield Onboarding: Add SRX Series Firewalls to Juniper Security Director Cloud
Using Commands

Before You Begin:

• Make sure SRX Series Firewall can communicate with Juniper Security Director Cloud fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) on respective ports. The FQDN of each home region is different. See the following table for FQDN mapping
details.
 8
Table 2: Home Region to FQDN Mapping

Home Region Purpose Port FQDN

North Virginia ZTP 443 jsec-virginia.juniperclouds.net

Outbound SSH 7804 srx.sdcloud.juniperclouds.net

System Log 6514 srx.sdcloud.juniperclouds.net

messages over
TLS

Ohio ZTP 443 jsec-ohio.juniperclouds.net

Outbound SSH 7804 srx.jsec-ohio.juniperclouds.net

• Use TCP port 53 and UDP port 53 to connect to Google DNS servers (IP addresses—8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). The Google
DNS servers are specified as the default servers in the factory settings of the SRX Series Firewalls. You must use
these default DNS servers when you use ZTP to onboard the firewalls. You can use private DNS servers when you
use other methods to onboard the firewalls. Note that you must make sure that the private DNS servers can resolve
the Juniper Security Director Cloud FQDNs.
