The appliance has one 80 GB hard drive. It is not a field replaceable unit (FRU).
When the system is cool, appliance fans spin at a slower speed to reduce noise and save
energy. As the system heats up, the fans run at a faster speed. In the event of fan failure,
the appliance fault LED blinks and the remaining fan or fans run at full speed until the
failed fan is replaced.
The fans for this model are not field replaceable units (FRUs).
Table 6 on page 4 describes system status LED states.
The appliance has a USB port you can use to reimage the appliance, if necessary. The
part number is IDP-FLASH (IDP75, IDP250, IDP800) or IDP-FLASH-8200 (IDP8200).
The console serial port provides access, using an RJ-45 connector, to the command-line
interface (CLI).
Management Interface Port
The management interface port is a10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernetport. Inthe configuration
and logs, the port is eth0. Use this port as a dedicated management port, connecting the
device to a switch accessible by your management subnet.
The IP address you assign the management port is the IP address you use to connect to
the Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) when you initially configure the device. It is
also the address the Networkand Security Manager (NSM) uses toconnect to the device.
Figure 2 on page 5 shows the management interface port LEDs.
Figure 2: Management Interface Port LEDs
NOTE: Although both the console serial port and the management port use
RJ-45 connectors, do not plug the network cable into the console serial port.
Table 7 on page 6 describes the management interface port LED states.
The high availability interface port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port. In the
configuration and logs, the port is eth1. The high availability interface is a dedicated
interface used to share state information among IDP appliances in a high availability
cluster.
NOTE: IDP OS 5.1 supports high availability. IDP OS 5.0 does not support
high availability.

Table 9 on page 8 describes copper port LED states.
Traffic interfaces are network interface cards (NICs). In the IDP Series configuration
abstraction, a pair of traffic interfaces is called a virtual router. For example, virtual router
vr1 comprises interfaceports eth2 and eth3. For each virtualrouter, you usethe Appliance
ConfigurationManager (ACM) toconfigure the deploymentmode (snifferor transparent)
and bypass options (internal, external, oroff). You also configure aglobal setting (affects
traffic flow throughall interfaces) onhow to handle Layer 2 packets. The following topics
describe these settings:
•
Deployment Mode on page 10
•
Layer 2 Bypass on page 10
•
Internal Bypass on page 10
•
External Bypass on page 12
For guidance on using ACM to configure virtual router settings, see the ACM online help.

NOTE: For fiber interface ports, if failure or shutdown triggers NICs off state,
You specify a deployment mode for each virtual router. You have two options:
•
Transparent—In an in-path, transparent mode deployment, traffic arrives in one
interfaceand is forwarded through the other. The IDP Series appliance detects attacks
and takes action according to your security policy rules. You connect the IDP Series
traffic interfaces to firewalls or switches in the network path.
•
Sniffer—In an out-of-path, sniffer mode deployment, the IDP Series appliance can
detect attacks but can take only limited action. You connect the IDP Series traffic
interfaces to a mirrored port of a network hub or switch.
Layer 2 Bypass
You enable or disable Layer 2 bypass to determine how the IDP Series device handles
Layer 2 packets.
When the IDP Series appliance is deployed in the path ofnetwork traffic, itcan take three
types of actions on the packets it receives:
•
Drop it.
•
Pass it through.
•
Process it according to IDP OS rules to determine whether to drop it, forward it, rate
limit, and so forth.
The IDP Series appliance processes Layer 2 traffic as follows:
•
Processes address resolution protocol (ARP) and Layer 2 packets related to internet
protocol (IPv4) traffic.
•
Drops all other Layer 2 traffic, unless the Layer 2 bypass setting is enabled.
•
When Layer 2 bypass is enabled, the IDP Series device passes through Layer 2 packets
related to bypass and high availability deployments (such as heartbeats or Bridge
Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packets), and non-IPv4 packets and packets related to
switching and routing protocols, such as IPv6, internetwork packet exchange (IPX),
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), and interior gateway routing protocol (IGRP), and so
forth.
The IDP Series appliance processes TCP/IP traffic according to implicit rules related to
traffic anomaly detection and explicit rules specified in the security policy.
Internal Bypass
The Internal Bypass feature is intended for deployments where a network security policy
privileges availability over security. In the event of failure or graceful shutdown, traffic
bypasses the IDP processing engine and is passed through the IDP Series device
uninspected.
The Internal Bypass feature operates through a timing mechanism. When enabled, the
timer on traffic interfaces counts down to a bypass trigger point. When the IDP Series
appliance is turned on and available, it sends a reset signal to the traffic interface timer
so that it does not reach the bypass trigger point. If the IDP OS encounters failure, then
it fails to send the reset signal, the timer counts down to the trigger point, and the traffic
interfaces enter a bypass state. If the IDP Series appliance is shut down gracefully, the
traffic interfaces immediately enter bypass.
With copper NICs, the bypass mechanism joins the interfaces mechanically to form a
circuit that bypasses IDP processing. Packets traverse the IDP Series device as if the path
from eth2 (receiving interface) to eth3 (transmiting interface) were a crossover cable.
No packet inspection or processing occurs.
With fiber NICs, the bypass mechanism uses use optical relays instead of copper relays.
During normal operations, the optical relays send light to thebuilt-in opticaltransceivers.
When bypass is triggered, therelaysflip state, and the light signal isredirectedto optically
connect the two external ports.
Figure 6 on page 11 compares the data path when Internal Bypass is enabled but not
activated with the data path when Internal Bypass is activated.
Figure 6: Internal Bypass
When the IDP OS resumes healthy operations, it sends a reset signal to the traffic
interfaces, and the interfaces resume normal operation.
NOTE: All copper port traffic interfaces support internal bypass. Some, but
not all, fiber port traffic interfaces support internal bypass. Check with your
sales contact for applicable part numbers.
NOTE: Bypass settingsare applicableonly for deploymentswhere the virtual
router is in the network path—transparent mode deployments.
NOTE: The bypass and PPM featuresare applied independently. The Internal
Bypass setting is related to the status of the IDP operating system. The peer
port modulation setting is related to the status of the link. It is possible to
have a healthy operating system and a link with status down, or a failed
operating system and a link with status up.
External Bypass
The External Bypass setting supports third-party external bypass units. Deployments
with external bypass units depend on the functionality of the external bypass unit to
check the status of the IDP Series appliance and make the determination whether to
send packets through or around the IDP Series device. Most external bypass units test
for availability by sending heartbeat packets through the device. If the packets reach the
expected destination, the external bypass unit allows the traffic to continue through the
IDP Series appliance. If the packets fail to reach the expected destination, the external
bypass unit determines the IDP Series is unavailable, so it forwards traffic around the
IDP Series device. The IDP Series supports external bypass solutions by allowing the
heartbeat traffic to pass through the device regardless of the Layer 2 Bypass setting. In
other words, if you disable Layer 2 Bypass and enable External Bypass, most Layer 2
traffic will be dropped but the heartbeat traffic used in the external bypass deployment
will bepassed through. Figure 7 on page 12 comparesthe data path when ExternalBypass
is enabled but not activated with the data path when External Bypass is activated.
NICs Off
Figure 7: External Bypass
The NICs Offsetting isintended to supportnetwork security policies that privilege security
over availability—you want the network path to be unavailable if the IDP Series device
is in a state in which it cannot inspect the traffic. With NICs Off configured, in the event
of failure or graceful shutdown, the interfaces are turned offand the IDPSeries appliance
becomes apoint of failure. If your network design includes redundant network paths, you
can configure your routers to detect the downed IDP Series interfaces and choose an
alternate path.
The peer port modulation (PPM) feature supports deployments where routers monitor
link state to makerouting decisions.In these deployments, arouter might be setto monitor
link state on only one side of the IDP Series appliance. Suppose, for example, the router
monitors only the inbound interface. Suppose the inbound interface remains up but the
outbound interface goes down. The router watching the inbound link would detect an
available link and forward traffic to the IDP Series appliance. Traffic would be dropped
at the point of failure—the outbound link. PPM propagates a link loss state for one traffic
interface to all interfaces in the IDP Series virtual router.
When PPM is enabled,a PPM daemonmonitors the health of IDP Series traffic interfaces
belonging to the same virtual router. If atraffic interface loses link, the PPM process turns
off any associated network interfaces in the same virtual router so that other network
devices detect that the virtual router is down and route around it. For example, assume
you have enabled PPM and configured IDP Series virtual routers as shown in Figure 8 on
page 13.
Figure 8: Peer Port Modulation
Suppose there is a network problem and eth3 goes down. The PPM daemon detects this
and turns off the other interface in vr0: eth2. The interfaces in vr1, vr2, and vr3 are
unaffected. After the you fix the problem with eth3, the PPM daemon detects this, and
turns on eth2.
NOTE: The PPM feature is independent of the bypass feature (NIC state
setting). PPM is related to the status of the link, not the status of the IDP
operating system. A link can be down even when the IDP operating system
is healthy. Note, however, that PPM runs as a control plane process and
operates only when the IDP Series appliance is turned on and the control
plane is available. If the IDP operating system is unavailable, the PPM feature
is also unavailable, regardless of the setting for the NIC state.

Centralized Management with NSM Overview
Juniper Networks Network and Security Manager (NSM) is a central management server
capable of managing hundreds of IDP Series appliances and other Juniper Networks
devices, such as ScreenOS firewalls, SA Series appliances, and IC Series appliances. You
typically deploy NSM in a management subnet accessible to the NSM-managed devices.
Figure 9 on page 16 illustrates the flow of information between the tiers of the central
management solution: the NSM user interface, theNSM server, and IDPSeries appliances.
Figure 9: IDP Series-NSM Communication
The IDP Series configuration, security policies, attack objects, and log records are stored
in NSM serverdatabasesand administeredusing theNSM userinterface. Communication
between the NSM server and IDP Series appliances, and between the NSM server and
the NSM user interface, is encrypted and authenticated.
For IDP Series deployments, centralized management provides the following benefits:
•
Centralized management for IDP Series appliances and other network devices
•
Consolidated logs from different devices in a single repository
•
Centralized management of enterprise security policies
•
Simplified management for attack signature updates
•
Role-based administration
For information about installing NSM and using NSM distributed management features,
management objects (such as address objects, service objects, and templates), and
navigational and display features, see the NSM documentation.
J-Security Center Updates Overview
The Juniper Networks Security Center (J-Security Center) routinely makes important
updatesavailableto IDPsecurity policycomponents, including updatesto theIDP detector
engine and the NSM attack database.
Chapter 2: Software Overview
The IDP detectorengine is a dynamic protocol decoder that includes support for decoding
more than 60 protocols and more than 500 service contexts. You should update IDP
detectorengine whenyou first installIDP software,whenever you upgrade,and whenever
alerted to do so by Juniper Networks. You can view release notes for detector engine
updates at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/management/idp/de/.
The NSM attack database stores data definitions for attack objects. Attack objects are
patterns comprising stateful signatures and traffic anomalies. Security policy rules direct
the IDP engine to inspect traffic for attack objects. We recommend you schedule
automatic updates for the NSM attack database.
For more informationabout detector engine and attack object updates, see the IDP SeriesAdministration Guide.
The location of the device, the layout of the mounting equipment, and the security of
your wiring room are crucial for proper system operation.
CAUTION: To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, install
the appliance in a secure environment.
Observing the following precautions can prevent shutdowns, equipment failures, and
injuries:
•
Beforeinstallation, always check that the powersupply isdisconnected from any power
source.
•
Ensure that the room in which you operate the device has adequate air circulation and
that the room temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
•
Do not place the device in an equipment-rack frame that blocks an intake or exhaust
port. Ensure that enclosed racks have fans and louvered sides.
•
Correct these hazardous conditions before any installation: moist or wet floors, leaks,
ungrounded or frayed power cables, or missing safety grounds.
For a comprehensive presentation on the precautions you must take to prevent personal
injury and damage to the equipment, see the Juniper Networks Security Products SafetyGuide.

Chapter 6: Connecting the IDP Traffic Interfaces to Your Network and Verifying Traffic Flow
Connecting Devices That Support Auto-MDIX
If you are connecting devices that support auto-MDIX (medium dependent interface
crossover), you can use either straight-through or crossover cables because auto-MDIX
negotiates the correct connection.
NOTE: IDP75, IDP250, IDP800, and IDP8200 support auto-MDIX.
Connecting Devices That Do Not Support Auto-MDIX
For connections to a firewall or server, use a crossover cable.
For connections to a switch or hub, use a straight-through cable.
NOTE: Conventionally, crossover cables have an orange outer jacket. If you
are not sure if your Cat 5 cable is a crossover or straight-through cable, lay
the two ends side-by-side and observe the order of the wire colors. If the
colors are in the same order, it is a straight-through cable; otherwise, it is a
crossover cable.
Connecting Devices to Support Internal Bypass
When internal bypass activates, it physically connects the pair of traffic interfaces to
each other with a crossover connection.
If the device does not support auto-MDIX, take special care to choose the right cables.
Suppose you plan to place the IDP Series appliance inlinebetween a firewalland a switch.
First, take note of the correct cable choice for a direct connection between the firewall
and switch. Would you use a straight-through cable or a cross-over cable?
If thetwodevices would beconnectedwith astraight-throughcable, then use a crossover
cable between the firewall and the IDP Series appliance and a straight-through cable
between the IDP Series appliance and the switch. When internal bypass activates and
crosses-over the connection between the IDP Series traffic interface pair, the connection
between the firewall and the switch will flow as if through a straight-through cable.
If the two devices would be connected with a cross-over cable, then use two
straight-through cables. When internal bypass activates, this will have the result of
creating one, long cross-over cable connecting the devices.

The following procedure applies to models for which the power supply is a field
replaceable unit (FRU).
The appliance has two removable, hot-swappable power supplies. Units are shipped
with AC power supplies. You can order optional DC power supplies as FRUs. Table 15 on
page 53 lists the part numbers for IDP Series power supply FRUs.
You can also order a replacement power cord. The part number for the power cord is
CBL-JX-PWR-Country (varies by country).

The power supply LED turns amber to indicate that the power supply is receiving power.
The LED turns green to indicate that it is receiving power and is giving power to the
appliance (only occurs if appliance is on). The high-pitched whine stops and the PS FAIL
light on the front of the appliance turns off.
The appliance comes with software preinstalled. If needed, you can reinstall the factory
image. This process is known as reimaging the appliance. The reimaging process rewrites
the disk except for the partition containing /var/idp. If necessary and if possible, you
should save a copy of data or custom configuration files before reimaging.
If you reimage the appliance, you must also relicense it.
