In this lab, we will look at configuring the SRX to translate the destination field for incoming traffic, which is widely used for public servers in a DMZ.

As with all the NAT examples, I’ll be using the following topology:

These are the requirements for the translations:

• Only applies to traffic coming from the internet (untrust zone)
• Destination 1.1.1.10/32 will be translated to DMZ IP 10.0.100.10/32
• Destination 1.1.1.11/32 will be translated to DMZ IP 10.0.100.11/32

First, I will configure security policies for the following services:

• Server 10.0.100.10 is hosting a Telnet server
• Server 10.0.100.11 is an SSH/SFTP server

Because DNAT happens before policy lookup, we always refer to the address as it will be after translation.

[edit security policies from-zone untrust to-zone dmz]
root@NP-vSRX-01# show
policy FW-Telnet-Server {
    match {
        source-address any;
        destination-address Host-10.0.100.10-32;
        application junos-telnet;
    }
    then {
        permit;
        log {
            session-close;
        }
    }
}
policy FW-SSH-Server {
    match {
        source-address any;
        destination-address Host-10.0.100.11-32;
        application junos-ssh;
    }
    then {
        permit;
        log {
            session-close;
        }
    }
}

As this is a fresh config, we will first define a rule-set that specifies the traffic direction. Destination NAT does not give you the option to specify the to-zone, just the source zone.

[edit security nat destination]
root@NP-vSRX-01# show
rule-set DNAT-From-Untrust {
    from zone untrust;
}

Now, let’s add the two pools:

[edit security nat destination]
root@NP-vSRX-01# show
pool DNAT-Host100-11 {
    address 10.0.100.11/32;
}
pool DNAT-Host100-10 {
    address 10.0.100.10/32;
}

And here are the NAT rules themselves:

[edit security nat destination rule-set DNAT-From-Untrust]
rule DNAT-Host100-10 {
    match {
        destination-address 1.1.1.10/32;
    }
    then {
        destination-nat {
            pool {
                DNAT-Host100-10;
            }
        }
    }
}

rule DNAT-Host100-11 {
    match {
        destination-address 1.1.1.11/32;
    }
    then {
        destination-nat {
            pool {
                DNAT-Host100-11;
            }
        }
    }
}

Because the upstream router is in the same segment as our firewall, we will also need to add ProxyARP to the global NAT config.

[edit security nat]
root@NP-vSRX-01# set proxy-arp interface ge-0/0/0.0 address 1.1.1.10/32 to 1.1.1.11/32

Verification

After starting a telnet and SSH session from my PC, this is the session table:

Session ID: 166748, Policy name: FW-SSH-Server/6, Timeout: 1792, Valid
  In: 10.6.66.68/59016 --> 1.1.1.11/22;tcp, If: ge-0/0/0.0, Pkts: 3, Bytes: 132
