Hi,

(Homelab Question) forgive it's not allowed but, recently my Unifi UDM has bricked the bed, and same with my old fortigate I was using for my home firewall. I have an old SRX300 I used to use. I dont want to buy a new fortigate or udm..

Question; Is it possible to use it as a switch firewall? the srx300.

I have 2 servers with separate NICs, can I put them on untagged ports, and have the vlan SVI on the SRX300?

If this can be done, do the VLANS get added to their own security zones or is the interfaces the server nics get plugged into the zone?

And if a port is layer 2 (untagged) or layer 3 (routed), does it have effect on zones?

Essentially I want to use the SRX300 for everything, routing, switching.

(forgive my question, my experience with SRX for the last year is limited and I have forgotten a lot of how they work)..

This is how I was doing it on my fortigate/UDM. But researching this on the SRX seems quite confusing and there is a bit more to it.

I was trying to find some documentation on this, and it seems more difficult or I am confusing this entirely and over complicating it.

Just want to connect 2 servers onto a SRX on separate VLANS, but have the SRX do the inter vlan routing.
