Calling All Netscreen Guru's

I need a little help configuing out Netscreen. Out flakey Sonicwall Pro was intermittenly locking up so I ordered a Netscreen 5GT.


I'm not used to the interface.



Any quick and easy tips on how to set up one to one nats, open port



25, etc

set int unt ip 1.1.1.1/24 set int unt gate 1.1.1.2 set int trust ip 192.168.1.1/24 set int unt mip 1.1.1.3 host 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 vrouter "trust-vr" set pol from "Untrust" to "Trust" "ANY" "MIP(1.1.1.3)" "MAIL" permit log

I prefer the CLI to the GUI. YMMV.

The documentation includes worked examples which are often close to real world requirements, I recommend starting there. You need to 'get' the concept of virtual routers and zones to configure NS boxes effectively.

Was the box delivered with ScreenOS 4.x or 5.x? Both are still being enhanced (supposed to converge again in 6.x IIRC), but NAT in 5.x is significantly more flexible and intuitive.
