In mixed mode, SRX devices can simultaneously handle Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing, but a reboot is required when configuring Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces to ensure the configuration takes effect. Layer 2 packets are switched within the defined bridge domain. Further guidance on SRX mixed mode can be found at Juniper Mixed Mode Documentation.

When an SRX Series device is configured in mixed mode, both Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing functionalities can be used on the same device. This enables the SRX to act as both a router and a switch for different interfaces. However, there are certain considerations:

Explanation of Answer C (Reboot Requirement):

After configuring the SRX to operate with at least one Layer 2 interface and one Layer 3 interface, the device needs to be rebooted. This is required to properly initialize the mixed mode configuration, as the SRX needs to switch between Layer 2 and Layer 3 processing modes.

Explanation of Answer D (Layer 2 Traffic Handling):

In mixed mode, traffic from Layer 2 interfaces is switched within the same bridge domain. A bridge domain defines a Layer 2 broadcast domain, and packets from Layer 2 interfaces are forwarded based on MAC addresses within that domain.

Juniper Security Reference:

Mixed Mode Overview: Juniper SRX devices can operate in mixed mode to handle both Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic simultaneously. Reference: Juniper Mixed Mode Documentation.

The request security policies check command allows you to simulate a session through the SRX device, checking the security policy action that would apply without needing to send real traffic. This helps in validating configurations before actual deployment. For more details, see Juniper Security Policies Testing.

The command request security policies check is used to test how a Junos security device handles a theoretical session without generating actual traffic. This command is useful for validating how security policies would be applied to a session based on various parameters like source and destination addresses, application type, and more.

Explanation of Answer A (request security policies check):

This command allows you to simulate a session and verify which security policies would be applied to the session. It's a proactive method to test security policy configurations without the need to generate real traffic.

Example usage:

bash

request security policies check from-zone trust to-zone untrust source 10.1.1.1 destination 192.168.1.1 protocol tcp application junos-https

Juniper Security Reference:

Security Policies Check: This command provides a way to simulate and verify security policy behavior without actual traffic. Reference: Juniper Security Policy Documentation.

In the scenario where internal users are trying to access the company's web server via its FQDN but the DNS server resolves to a private IP, two key actions are needed:

Static NAT (Answer B): Since the internal DNS server resolves the web server to its private IP address (10.10.10.4/24), you need to configure static NAT for both the DNS server and the webserver. This will ensure that requests coming from the internet will be translated to the web server's public IP (203.0.113.4) and the DNS server’s public IP (203.0.113.2).

Example Command:

bash

set security nat static rule-set public-to-private from zone untrust

set security nat static rule-set public-to-private rule dns-server match destination-address 203.0.113.2/32

set security nat static rule-set public-to-private rule dns-server then static-nat-prefix 10.10.10.2/32

set security nat static rule-set public-to-private rule web-server match destination-address 203.0.113.4/32

set security nat static rule-set public-to-private rule web-server then static-nat-prefix 10.10.10.4/32

Proxy ARP (Answer D): The SRX needs to respond to ARP requests for the public IP addresses of both the DNS and webserver on the interface facing the internet (ge-0/0/3). This allows the SRX to handle requests directed at the public IPs.

Example Command:

set interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet proxy-arp interface-address 203.0.113.2/32

set interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet proxy-arp interface-address 203.0.113.4/32

These two configurations allow external users to access the internal web server via its public IP, as resolved by the DNS server.
