Firewall Upgrades for Private Maryland University

Q4 2021

This private Maryland university needed to upgrade their existing firewall to better protect and extend the school’s wireless network. Data Networks reviewed the school’s existing firewall configuration and determined the changes required for the new firewall, including network configuration of IP addresses, vLANs (IRBs), zones, rules, screens, and HA configuration requirements. Engineers unboxed and connected the new Juniper SRX firewalls at Data Networks’ Staging and Configuration Center, where they were tested for basic functionality and configured to match the school’s design requirements. The new firewalls were then delivered to the school and installed during a planned outage, where the existing firewalls were disconnected, powered down, and removed from the rack. Data Networks Engineers verified security functions and full network connectivity through the new SRX firewalls, including internet, internal networks, and all vLANs/subnets.
