Networking Lab
My current networking lab setup for testing a new network design including OSPF, BGP & IPsec route based VPNs.
From top to bottom:
- The imposter, a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite!
- Juniper SSG 5 (extended license
) - Juniper SRX 100 (base memory
) - Juniper SSG 20 (not currently being used)
- Juniper SRX 110H (older 1GB ram model)
- Juniper SRX 210H-POE (pretty old slow beast with 1GB ram and a lowly 400MHz CPU). I still run a standard 210H at home, one day I'll get the 210H2....

As you work with them everyday, i dont suppose you have had any wierd crashes over the last two days?
2 of my clustered ssg140's died at different sites over the last two days.
I have heard of one other person who this has happened to.
thanks
Maybe it was this SSL DDOS bug?

What kind of crashes?
So nothing i can do except wait for an update and turn off all external management.
Would you recommend replacing the ssg5 with SRX's?
Thanks for your response.
We've been replacing SSGs with SRXs recently but there are still some things that the SSG does a touch better.
The WebUI in the SRX isn't good, but the CLI is great.
We are still hitting some bugs in SRX code that causes issues for specific sites.
The SSG is end of line, it won't be long before Juniper stop releasing updates for it completely (and you don't get new features now anyway).
It really does depend on your requirements. Overall I prefer the SRX now.
How do you like that Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite? I'm thinking of getting one for my lab setup. The price looks good.

I still prefer JunOS CLI, but the EdgeRouter is really fast when hardware offloading is used.
