The request security policies check command allows you to simulate a session through the SRX device, checking the security policy action that would apply without needing to send real traffic. This helps in validating configurations before actual deployment. For more details, see Juniper Security Policies Testing.

The command request security policies check is used to test how a Junos security device handles a theoretical session without generating actual traffic. This command is useful for validating how security policies would be applied to a session based on various parameters like source and destination addresses, application type, and more.
