[j-nsp] Native ScreenOS / J-Series / SSG-M

[Ben Dale]

Hi Joe,

There is an equivalant ScreenOS-based box for each of the JUNOS-based  
platforms:

SSG320M - J2320
SSG350M - J2350
SSG520M - J4350
SSG550M - J6350

and an associated J-Series to SSG conversion kit available for each of  
them (Part No: Jx3x0-SSG-CONV-S).  There are also kits to convert back  
from SSG to J-Series.  Last time I checked, the conversion kits  
included a stick of compact flash pre-formatted with ScreenOS or JUNOS  
(depending which way you're going), and a little sticker that you  
place over the top of the badge on the front, which has the equivalent  
J-Series/SSG model name:

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos-es/junos-es92/junos-es-conversion-300M/junos-es-conversion-300M.pdf

Personally, I'd just run JUNOS-ES on the J-Series, as it's coming  
along quite nicely feature-wise.

Cheers,

Ben

All-

Looking for a little verification here. I know that with an SSG-M  
platform you can choose to run either JUNOS-ES or ScreenOS. Can the  
same be said for the J-series routers?

Also (and more specifically) even of the J-series can run ScreenOS,  
I'm thinking that it would be "limited" to the J4350 and J6350 since  
those are the same as the SSG-M boxes. But that the J2320 and J2350  
can't run ScreenOS at all.

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks,
Joe
