We are setting up Juniper SRX240H2. &nbsp;The user guide says that before turning power, the gateway needs to be grounded first. Anyone have any experience with this? &nbsp;The SRX210 model only suggests grounding the device, but the manual for the Juniper SRX240 seems pretty adamant about grounding the device before turning on the power. &nbsp;Here is an excerpt from the manual.<br />
<br />
The following tools and parts are required for grounding the SRX240 Services Gateway:<br />
∙Grounding cable for your services gateway—The grounding cable must be minimum 14 AWG (2 mm²), minimum 90°C wire, or as permitted by the local code.<br />
∙Grounding lug—Ring-type, vinyl-insulated TV14-6R lug or equivalent for your grounding cable<br />
∙Washers and 10-32x.25-in. screws to secure the grounding lug to the protective earthing terminal

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
