[j-nsp] SRX Experiences - Was: JUNOS 10.4S6 for EX8200 - PR/676826

[Paul Stewart]

We have yet to see that even with PIM modules installed - do you remember
what version of JunOS you were running by chance?

I have had similar experiences to Richard's with the "Free SRX210H" I even
managed to get a DSL PIM in there as well. Had it up and working for about 2
months when the pim quit forwarding traffic randomly. Rebooting the SRX
seems to fix it well enough though... I will say that the free hardware has
cost a lot of my time and some annoyed phone calls from my wife when netflix
doesn't work.

Actually I'm curious as well - RAS is not typically wrong though about this
kind of stuff ;)

We have numerous SRX deployed for firewall and router functionality - some
are running Dynamic VPN (which yes, we've had issues with - definitely it's
not perfect).  We've been bitten by some surprises as well ... so I'm not
disagreeing, just saying that we're pretty used to these issues we've
encountered and don't deploy if we know they will come up. Typically, we use
them as site to site VPN boxes along with firewalling.

I have an SRX210 at my home as well - run the full UTM suite on it and had
no real issues (granted it's a home environment to be fair).

RAS, can you share a few highlights of "broken"?

Appreciate it,
Paul

Is this for routing functionality, or firewall functionality?

We're using one as an MPLS PE, and it seems to be working ok, but given
what you've said... gulp!

Is there a good summary of the problems anywhere, or do I need to trawl
the archives?
