Todays post is about static NAT configuration in SRX firewall. I have the following topology
and aim is to translate IP network 192.168.211.16/28 to 192.168.250.32/28 and vice versa.
JGW1 SRX has 192.168.250.1 in its uplink zone facing interface and 192.168.211.1 in trust zone
facing interface
and the static nat configuration for this setup is as follows;

root@JGW1# show security na
static {
rule-set stat-rs1 {

root@JGW1# show security nat
static {
rule-set stat-rs1 {
from zone uplink;
rule rule_for_ubuntus {
match {
destination-address 192.168.250.32/28;
}
then {
static-nat {
prefix {
192.168.211.16/28;
}
}
}
17
18
19
}
}
}
What this configuration really mean is:
Then replace destination IP address with one of the address within 192.168.211.16 subnet
but with which address to replace? static NAT requires an exact match if you destination address
has 28 bit, your static-nat prefix should also be 28 bit and replacement is done as follows;
192.168.250.33 -> 192.168.211.17
192.168.250.34 -> 192.168.211.18
I think no need to write the rest. It is one by one. The good thing about static nat is reverse static
nat is also done automatically for you which means;
192.168.211.17 -> 192.168.250.33
192.168.211.18 -> 192.168.250.34
If any packet leaving SRX with IP address 192.168.211.17 is replaced by 192.168.250.33
In addition to this we shouldnt forget security policy configuration of course;

root@JGW1# show security po
from-zone trust to-zone uplink {
policy ubuntu-net-access {

root@JGW1# show security policies
from-zone trust to-zone uplink {
policy ubuntu-net-access {
match {
source-address ubuntu-net;
destination-address any;
application any;
}
then {
permit;

}
}
}
*ubuntu-net is an address-book entry in the associated zone
If you have configured so far, you will see that ubuntu3 host still cannot reach outside network
why? the thing is SRX doesnt reply to arp requests for 192.168.250.32/28 range. We must tell it
to do so specifically by configuring proxy-arp as follows;
[edit security nat proxy-arp]
root@JGW1# show
interface ge-0/0/0.0 {
address {
