JUEX-NM-000610 - The Juniper EX switch must be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs.

Information

Configuring the network device to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across DoD that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements.

Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the network device. Security-related parameters are those parameters impacting the security state of the network device, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure the network device to be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs.

To enable a function or set its configurable parameters, use the 'set' command. To disable a function or its configuration parameters, use the 'deactivate' or 'delete' commands.
