JUNI-RT-000070 - The Juniper router must be configured to have all non-essential capabilities disabled - dhcp

Information

A compromised router introduces risk to the entire network infrastructure, as well as data resources that are accessible via the network. The perimeter defense has no oversight or control of attacks by malicious users within the network. Preventing network breaches from within is dependent on implementing a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy, including securing each device connected to the network. This is accomplished by following and implementing all security guidance applicable for each node type. A fundamental step in securing each router is to enable only the capabilities required for operation.

Solution

Remove unneeded services and functions from the router as shown below.

[edit system services]
delete telnet
[edit system services]
delete finger
[edit system services]
