Installing Equipment You can mount the SSG 140 device into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. You can center- or front-mount the device in a rack. Rack-mounting brackets are supplied with the device.
Page 17
Chapter 2: Installing and Connecting the Device To install an SSG 140 device into a rack: 1. Attach the mounting brackets to each side of the chassis as shown in Figure 6. For front mounting, use the holes nearest the front of the device. For center-mounting, use the holes nearest the center of each side of the device.
We recommend using a surge protector for the power connection. Powering the Device On and Off To power on the SSG 140 device, press the AC power switch on the rear panel to the on position. ScreenOS starts as the power supply completes its startup sequence. The POWER LED lights during startup and remains on steadily when the device is operating normally.

SSG 140 Series Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide Hostname and Domain Name The domain name defines the network or subnetwork that the device belongs to, while the hostname refers to a specific device. The hostname and domain name together uniquely identify a device in the network.
0.0.0.0/0 interface ethernet0/2 gateway ip_addr save Bridge Group Interfaces The SSG 140 device is pre-configured with bridge group (bgroup) interfaces identified as bgroup0/0 through bgroup0/2. Bgroups let you group multiple Ethernet interfaces together. Each bgroup constitutes its own broadcast domain and provides high-speed Ethernet switching between interfaces within the group.
For information about creating or modifying policies, refer to the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide. SSG 140 devices provide various detection methods and defense mechanisms to combat probes and attacks aimed at compromising or harming a network or network resource: ScreenOS Screen options secure a zone by inspecting, and then allowing or denying, all connection attempts that require crossing an interface to that zone.
To verify that workstations in your network can access resources on the Internet, start a browser from any workstation in the network and browse to www.juniper.net/. Restarting the Device You may need to restart the device in order to implement new features, such as when you change between route and transparent mode or when you add new license keys.
