Juniper Networks has a Day one book for ‘JunOS Tips, Techniques, and Templates 2011’ in Junos Fundamentals Series. To record some my own tips, I put them together in this post. Let me know if you have some more to share.

1.  Find big size files 

find . -type f -size +10000 -exec ls -lh {} ; 

root@FW% find . -type f -size +10000 -exec ls -lh {} ;
-rw-r–r–  1 930  929   134M Jan  5 17:34 ./cf/packages/junos-11.4R6.6-domestic
-rw-r–r–  1 root  wheel   139M Sep  8  2011 ./cf/var/log/junos-srxsme-11.2R2.4-domestic.tgz
-rw-r—–  1 root  wheel   4.9M Feb 11 17:12 ./cf/var/db/idpd/db/secdb_02.db
-rw-r—–  1 root  wheel   6.7M Feb 11 17:13 ./cf/var/db/idpd/db/secdb_03.db

% find / -size +100000 | xargs ls -lhS

find: /mfs/var/spool/opielocks: Permission denied

-rw-r—–  1 root  wheel    84M Feb 23 21:31 /cf/var/db/idpd/db/secdb_06.db

2. Connecting to the secondary node from the primary node on an SRX cluster
On the branch SRX devices, this can be achieved by the command:

{primary:node0}
lab@host-A> request routing-engine login node 1

— JUNOS 10.1R3.7 built 2010-011-10 04:15:10 UTC
{secondary:node1}
lab@host-B>



On the high-end SRX devices, you will need to be in the shell and run the following command:

root@host-A% rlogin -T node1

3. Juniper system software in-service-upgrade (Maintenance) for less downtime upgrade

JUNOS> request system software in-service-upgrade /var/tmp/junos-srxsme-12.1X44-D35.5-domestic.tgz no-sync no-validate

4. Copy files between two Cluster Members

root@fw-2> file copy /var/tmp/junos10.3.tgz node0:/var/tmp/junos10.3.tgz

or use fxp0.0 interface ip to do file transferring:

root@fw-2>file copy /var/tmp/junos10.3.tgz 10.2.8.4:/var/tmp/junos10.3.tgz


5.  Juniper Web Tool : SRX HA Configuration Generator

6.  Monitor Commands to do flow trace without commit

monitor security flow filter incoming-filter protocol icmp destination-prefix 1.1.1.1
monitor security flow filter outgoing-filter protocol icmp source-prefix 1.1.1.1
monitor security flow file logflow.log
show monitor security flow
show log logflow.log
monitor security flow stop
clear monitor security flow filter incoming-filter
clear monitor security flow filter outgoing-filter

7. Delete Whole Configuartion

  • Delete
root@fw-1# delete
This will delete the entire configuration
Delete everything under this level? [yes,no] (no) yes
root@fw-1# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password:
Retype new password:

  • request services fips zeroize
  • request system zeroize
  • load factory-default
  • zeroize 

root@fw-1# request system zeroize


8. Load the Commands/Configuration through the CLI

{primary:node0}[edit]
root@fw-1# load set terminal
[Type ^D at a new line to end input]
load complete

{primary:node0}[edit]
root@fw-1# 

{primary:node0}[edit security zones]
root@fw-1# load merge relative terminal 

[Type ^D at a new line to end input]

security-zone C-Clients {
        tcp-rst;
        address-book {
            address n-10.9.20.0 10.9.20.0/24;
        }
        interfaces {
            reth1.0;
        }

    }
load complete


{primary:node0}[edit security zones]

9. Troubleshoot traffic flowing through SRX

root@fw-srx1> show configuration security flow | display set
set security flow traceoptions file flow-trace
set security flow traceoptions flag basic-datapath
set security flow traceoptions packet-filter f0 source-prefix 10.9.20.14/32
set security flow traceoptions packet-filter f0 destination-prefix 10.9.1.5/32
commit and quit

10. Disable Juniper SRX Clustering

{primary:node1}
user@host> set chassis cluster disable reboot
Successfully disabled chassis cluster. Going to reboot now.


11. Commands to collect logs for JTAC

  • request support information | save /var/log/rsi.node0.txt
  • file archive compress source /var/log/* destination /var/tmp/varlog.node0

12. Installs the new software package

root@fw-2> request system software add /var/tmp/junos-srxsme-12.1X44-D40.2-domestic.tgz no-validate no-copy partition
Checking for free space on /var/tmp/install
Copying package /var/tmp/junos-srxsme-12.1X44-D40.2-domestic.tgz to /var/tmp/install
Checking for basic sanity of copied package
WARNING: Installation with partition option will take several minutes to complete
WARNING: Please do not power-cycle the system till the installation is over
WARNING: A reboot is required to install the software
WARNING:     Use the ‘request system reboot’ command immediately

{secondary:node1}
root@fw-2> request system reboot
Reboot the system ? [yes,no] (no) yes

Shutdown NOW!
[pid 2098]

Note: Partition option introduced in the command in Release 10.1. of Junos OS. (Optional) Partition option will do  format and re-partition the media before installation.

13. Packet Captures on Juniper SRX

Juniper SRX packet captures
1. Configure the forwarding options and limits
configure shared

set forwarding-options packet-capture file filename JTAC.pcap files 10 size 10000

set forwarding-options packet-capture maximum-capture-size 1500


2. Create your filter

set firewall filter PCAP term capture from source-address 192.168.1.1.32

set firewall filter PCAP term capture from destination-address 10.15.61.45/32

set firewall filter PCAP term capture from protocol tcp

set firewall filter PCAP term capture from destination-port 443

set firewall filter PCAP term capture then accept

set firewall filter PCAP term allow-all-else then accept


3. Define the interface(s) that will capture the trafffic

set interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet filter input PCAP
commit and-quit
**** input indicated to capture packets received.  PCAP is the name of our firewall filter*****
4. Read the tcpdump file from the shell
start shell                                
cd /var/tmp
tcpdump –r pcap.ge-0.0.3
5. Cleanup 
cli
configure
delete interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet filter input PCAP    (stops the cap)      
delete firewall filter PCAP                                   (turns off the filter)
delete forward-options packet-capture
commit and-quit
% rm /var/tmp/pcap.ge-0.0.3.

14. Delete IDP database for System Software Upgrade

Some old SRX series does not have enough storage space to hold the new software release if enabled some other features, such as IDP. IDP database will easily hold 180M space on your system. Based on the information from http://jsrx.juniperwiki.com/index.php?title=IDP#Troubleshooting, to upgrade srx system without enough space, we can delete everything in the idp database, then add your new image and reboot:


root@fw-m-test-1>  start shell 
root@fw-m-test-1% cd /var/db/idpd/db/
root@fw-m-test-1% rm -rfv * 
root@fw-m-test-1% cli

{primary:node0}
root@fw-m-test-1> 

{primary:node0}
root@fw-m-test-1> request system storage cleanup
