Configuring Internet Access for the Branch SRX Series
Connect the port on the SRX210 that you want to use for Internet access (typically the
port labeled
0/0
) to the cable modem or to the connection device provided by your
Internet service provider (ISP). You can enable Internet access in the following ways:
• Assign an IP address and gateway through DHCP—If your ISP supports DHCP, your
services gateway acquires an IP address and other settings (domain name servers,
default routes) from your ISP.
• Assign IP address manually—If your ISP does not provide IP address information through
DHCP, you can configure the gateway WAN port with a static IP address and a default
route.
