So, I recently acquired a
Netscreen 5XT—the smallest firewall available from Juniper.
Since I purchased it through eBay, Juniper will not let me purchase a support contract for it unless I first pay a warranty reinstatement fee. This reinstatement fee is equal to one year of support.
It turns out that the 5XT, one year of support, and the support reinstatement fee combined still costs less than a PIX 506e without support.
Now if I can just figure out why my VPN is not working…
