Table 29 on page 97 provides information on basic connectivity settings for the SRX550 Services Gateway.
Table 29: Services Gateway Basic Connectivity Settings Details
Settings Description Element
The hostname refers to the specific machine,
while the domain name is shared among all
devices in a given network. Together the
hostname and domain name identify the device
in the network.
The hostname defines the network or network
to which your services gateway belongs.
Device
identification
The root password must meet the following
criteria:
•
Must contain at least six characters
•
Can include most character classes (alphabetic,
numeric, and special characters), except control
characters
•
Must contain at least one change of case or
character class
NOTE: For Common Criteria environments only,
the password must contain between 10 and 20
characters and must include at least 3 of the 5
character classes (uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, punctuation marks, numbers, and other
special characters). Control characters are not
recommended. For more information, see the
Configuration Guides for Junos OS Public Sector
Certifications .
Initially, the root password is not defined on
the device. To ensure basic security, you must
define the root password during initial
configuration. If a root password is not defined,
you cannot commit configuration settings on
the device.
NOTE: The root password is mandatory.
NOTE: If you use a plaintext password, the
device displays the password as an encrypted
string so that users viewing the configuration
cannot see it.

password
If you want to include your device in several
domains, add these domains to the configuration
so that they are included in a DNS search. When
DNS searches are requested, the domain suffixes
are appended to the hostnames.
A Domain Name System (DNS) server on the
network maintains a database for resolving
hostnames and IP addresses. Network devices
can query the DNS server by hostnames rather
than IP addresses. The services gateway
accesses the DNS servers that are added to the
configuration to resolve hostnames in the order
in which you list them.
