Who it suits
As a rackmount unit it suits a head office, campus or data centre with a server rack. With protection switched on, plan for an internet line of no more than about two-thirds of the NGFW throughput figure. For the SRX2300 that means a line of up to about 8 Gbps.

What ports does the SRX2300 have?
8 x 1/2.5/5/10GbE copper, 8 x 1GbE/10GbE SFP+, 4 x 1/10/25GbE SFP28, 2 x 40GbE/100GbE QSFP28.
How many connections can the SRX2300 handle?
Juniper lists a maximum of 5 million concurrent sessions and 450,000 new sessions per second.
Does the SRX2300 need a licence?
The hardware works as a basic firewall on its own. Protection features such as intrusion prevention, web filtering and anti-malware need an active Juniper subscription, and so do firmware updates and support. We quote the firewall with the licence term you choose.
Do you supply the SRX2300 with installation?
Yes. We supply it with its licence registered, install and configure it at your site, and hand over the logins and documentation. Ask for a quote on this page.
