Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not bad
I was fortunate enough to work with one of the contributing authors on an implementation and while the book is an excellent resource for the web UI and CLI, I was rather disappointed that the NSM was completely ignored. Yes, I know, not in the scope of the book, but if one is managing a large juniper firewall infrastructure centralized management pretty important.
While it's not all encompassing, I recommend it to round off any juniper firewall reference library.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - OK book based on the lack of alternatives
This book broadly covers the Juniper NetScreen and SSG firewalls. However, where it falls down is the small amount of examples given, and the technical errors in the book.

Having worked with the Juniper devices over the past few months and through reading this book it is obvious that there should have been a bit more attention paid to the editing as there are sentances and examples with the wrong words used.

Ie. using the word zone instead of interface



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great
Book is easy to read and understand. Most books like this are so technical that they dont make any sense. Has some repitition to burn important things into your head. I wish more networking books were like this.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Broad coverage - poor in the details
Definitively one of the worst technical publications I've ever bought.

This book will be useful only if you want to gain a general understanding on how netscreen firewalls work, but under no circumstance this should be considered a technical reference, or configuration guide.

HUGE lack of examples, and those present are extremely simplistic. Just driving through clicking on the NetscreenOS interface is not an example. The book is also plagued of grammatical inconsistencies. ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A Golden Opportunity
Really good Juniper Networks security documentation is still lacking and the free info is typically better. There is still a golden opportunity for a technical author to write a really good book on best-practice design and implementation, to effectively leverage and integrate Juniper technology -- not just more reference material.
