vSRX Interface Topology

The vSRX used in the lab has three physical interfaces in the topology.

• ge-0/0/0.0
  • This interface is used by Vagrant to talk to the device
  • When using commands such as "vagrant ssh" this is the Interface it connects to
  • The interface is configured in a management zone and is not for transit
  • Uses DHCP for IP address allocation
• ge-0/0/1.0
  • Connected to the NetDevOps VM
  • Has a static IP address of 172.16.0.1/24
  • When needed to connect to the vSRX from the NetDevOps VM this is the interface and IP to use
• ge-0/0/2.0
  • This interface connects to the lab
  • It is a bridged interface
  • The student will be prompted which interface on their laptop it will connect to
  • It will use DHCP to configure the IP address
