JUEX-RT-000280 - The Juniper router must not be configured to have any feature enabled that calls home to the vendor.

Information

Call home services will routinely send data such as configuration and diagnostic information to the vendor for routine or emergency analysis and troubleshooting. There is a risk that transmission of sensitive data sent to unauthorized persons could result in data loss or downtime due to an attack.

Solution

Configure the network device to disable the call home service or feature.

Delete the phone-home hierarchy under [edit system].

delete system phone-home
Note: Because the command is hidden, Junos will not autocomplete and 'phone-home' must be explicitly, and correctly, spelled out.
