Secure Access Appliances

Thank you for choosing the Juniper Networks Secure Access Series appliance.

You can install Secure Access and start configuring your system using the following easy

steps:

1. Install the hardware

2. Perform basic setup

3. License and configure your Secure Access

NOTE: After installing and setting up your Secure Access, refer to the Initial

Configuration task guide in the administrator Web console to install the most

current Secure Access OS service package, license your Secure Access

appliance, and create a test user to verify user accessibility. To test initial set

up and continue configuring your Secure Access, see Getting Started.

We recommend that you install the Secure Access appliance on your LAN to ensure that

it can communicate with the appropriate resources, like authentication servers, DNS

servers, internal Web servers via HTTP/HTTPS, external Web sites via HTTP/HTTPS

(optional), Windows file servers (optional), NFS file servers (optional), and client/server

applications (optional).

NOTE: If you decide to install your Secure Access appliance in your DMZ,

ensure that the Secure Access appliance can connect to these internal

resources.
