Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Juniper Networks NetScreen-200 Series is one of the most versatile pair of security appliances available today. They easily integrate and secure many different network environments, including medium and large enterprise offices, e-business sites, data centers, and carrier infrastructure. Complete with either four or eight auto-sensing 10/100 Base-T Ethernet ports, the NetScreen-200 Series performs firewall functions at wire speed (375 Mbps on the NetScreen-204 and NetScreen-208).
Security level exceptions
