Configure Network Device - Juniper Firewall
This article will walk through the steps required to enable syslog forwarding on a Juniper Firewall
Enable syslog server reporting
- On the Juniper Firewall, ssh into configuration CLI.
- Enter the configure menu
> configure - Select security log hierarchy
> edit security log
> set mode stream - Assign the address of remote syslog server (rocketagent server).
For demonstration 10.5.5.100 is used.
> set stream remote-logging host 10.5.5.100 any any - Assign a location where a local syslog is stored.
> set stream local-logging file name local-logs - Configuration may be reviewed.
> show
mode stream:
stream remote-logging {
host{
10.5.5.100;
}
}
stream local-logging {
file {
name local-logs;
}
}
Enable Logging of Events
Rocket Agent monitors the following event types; Internet Traffic, Intrusion Detection, and Failed Login authorization attempts. Each system policy must be defined, enabled, and configured to allow syslog reporting.
- Internet Traffic. (Inet-access policy)
The firewall has a default Inet-access policy. To view and modify the policy:
>edit security policies from-zone Users to-zone Internet policy Inet-access
show
match {
source-address any;
destination-address any;
application any;
}
then {
permit
}
Enable Inet-access events to syslog
>set then log session-init
>commit - Intrusion Detection (IDP policy rule base)
A default policy exists which allows an admin to customize by specifying which intrusion events will be detected. We recommend the following configuration of events:
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options icmp ip-sweep
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options icmp ping-death
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options ip bad-option
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options ip spoofing
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options ip tear-drop
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp syn-fin
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp tcp-no-flag
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp syn-frag
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp port-scan.
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp syn-ack-ack-proxy
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp land
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp winnuke
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options tcp tcp-sweep
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options udp flood
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options udp udp-sweep
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options udp port-scan
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options limit-session source-ip-based 1000
>set security screen ids-option internet-screen-options limit-session destination-ip-based 1000
The IDP policy can be reviewed using the following command.
>show security idp active-policy
active-policy Recommended;
then {
action {
recommended;
}
notification {
log-attacks;
}
}
Ensure IDP policy is enabled.
>set security policy from-zone sec-zone-source to-zone sec-zone-destination policy name-of-sec-policy then permit application-services idp
Form a routing rule to forward IDP/IDS events to syslog
>set system syslog host 10.5.5.100 match "RT_IDP|RT_IDS"
>commit - Failed Login Authorization Attempts This is accomplished monitoring interactive commands interface. To route these
messages to the syslog;
>set system syslog host 10.5.5.100 interactive-commands any
>commit
