The secure services gateway 5 is equipped with seven on-board 10/100 interfaces with optional fixed wan ports (isdn bri s/t, v.92 or rs-232 serial/aux). Optional support for 802.11 a/b/g and a broad array of wireless specific security allow the ssg 5 to consolidate security, routing and wireless access point into a single device. Review: We ordered this device to establish VPN connectivity with one ... - We ordered this device to establish VPN connectivity with one of our partners, but we didn't go through with that project and ended using this device as a router replacement, which turned out to be a nightmare to configure. Review: serious firewall for high speed home or small office use - The Juniper SSG 5 is, in many ways, an upgrade to the Juniper/Netscreen 5GT series. That is, it incorporates more RAM, more CPU and more ports - and is thus is capable of running the latest JuneOS flavors with very advanced deep-inspection capabilities. Other than having to ask my ISP to flush the ARP cache on the link, the device connected immediately and is performing very well. It is pretty common for ISPs to assume there will be one device, forever, connected to their line. So if you change devices (which can be any device, in this case a hardware firewall) you likely need to contact your ISP and get things sorted. At least that was my experience. FYI -they associate one MAC address with the assigned DHCP address, and it resides in the ARP cache on my DSL service DHCP servers. The firewall is end of life (EOL) but if you read carefully, it is supported until 2016. This means you can get an industrial-strength firewall, which supports anything you can imagine including VPNs, stateful inspection, content filtering, etc., for roughly half of list price. And as their MTBF is like 40 years, it is safe to say this is a steal if you seek a real firewall by an established, long-standing US company committed to enterprise security. This is no pseudo firewall, folks. Juniper is a major player in COs (telco Central Offices) and huge enterprises and goes toe to toe with Cisco. The wizard works fine, so simplistic set-up is possible assuming the ISP issue is not at play (see above). Else, the GUI is pretty easy to navigate but it is worth saying - this is not a device for a novice. You need to have a good understanding of the principles of firewalls or you will likely be frustrated. Again, for basic secure (NAT-based) firewall use, the "wizard" will get you running in no time. For digging in and getting all of the features into play you may need some help. Highly recommended due to the price/performance ratio. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000IPPWRI | | Best Sellers Rank | #581,264 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #22,767 in Computer Networking (Electronics) | | Brand | Juniper Networks | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Router | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (10) | | Data Transfer Rate | 100 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00832938032781 | | Interface | RJ45 | | Item Weight | 2.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Juniper | | Mfr Part Number | SSG-5-SH | | Model Number | SSG-5-SH | | Number of Ports | 7 | | Switch Type | managed | | UPC | 832938032781 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Juniper Networks - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Router - **Item Weight:** 2.1 Pounds - **Number of Ports:** 7 ## Images ![SSG-5-SH-US - 7 port - 256MB Firewall Security Appliance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SMHvMzwJL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with rack mount tabs?** A: No rack tabs **Q: Does this come with an power adapter?** A: It has an internal power supply (110-240v) **Q: Incluye el transformador de voltaje?** A: Yes it does include transformer **Q: Can anyone help with DMZ setup?

Bought it for building VPN tunnels to AWS VPC. Worked right out of the box. So why not 5 stars? It suffers from a horrible UX/UI experience with the web GUI. Clumsy and hard to use. I just don't get why they don't spend more time on the interface. The real frustration came when I wanted to reset to factory defaults. Forget it you can't do it without a special console connector/cable which it does not come with. I get wanting to protect users from themselves but the reset process is ridiculous. I was never able to accomplish it.. ## Frequently Bought Together - Juniper Networks SSG-5-SH-US - 7 port - 256MB Firewall Security Appliance - Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD 1500VA Rack Mount UPS Battery Backup, 900W, 8 Outlets, PWM Sine Wave, Short Depth 2U Rackmount UPS, AVR, LCD Screen - APC UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup and Surge Protector, BX1500M Backup Battery Power Supply, AVR, Dataline Protection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/6959403-ssg-5-sh-us-7-port-256mb-firewall-security-appliance](https://www.desertcart.us/products/6959403-ssg-5-sh-us-7-port-256mb-firewall-security-appliance) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
