Device Information

Collection Method

Port Requirements

To facilitate secure communication and align with our best practice, we strongly encourage the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) between your security devices and our Adaptive MxDR platform for event forwarding.

While we understand that TLS support may not be available on all devices, if your devices do support TLS communication, we recommend utilizing port 6514 for seamless integration.

In some cases, the upgraded version of the device might incorporate TLS support without prior notice. If you come across such a scenario or for further assistance in configuring TLS, we kindly ask you to reach out to your dedicated Adaptive MxDR Service Delivery Lead.

Device Configuration

To configure Juniper SRX 220 to log event data in Structured Format

Structured log format represents the syslog data in a key-value pair. Specifying structured-data format can make it easier for applications to extract information from log messages. Structured-data format complies with the internet draft, the Syslog protocol, which can currently be found at the following link:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-23  

To configure Juniper SRX device for forwarding syslog events

In order to configure the Juniper SRX (for structured event format), please follow below steps:

1. Connect to the Juniper SRX CLI by establishing SSH to its management IP address.

2. Once logged in, then type CLI at the shell prompt and press enter.

3. Type configure and press enter to get into the configuration mode of the device.

4. Type the below commands 

   • set system syslog host <host-IP-address> any any

   • set system syslog host<host-IP-address> structured-data
     Here <host-IP-address> represents the IP of the CyberHub.

5. Then type the below commands to enable the structured logging for security logs:

   • set security log mode stream

   • set security log source-address <a.b.c.d>

   • set security log stream <Syslog_Stream_Name> host <host-IP-address>

   • set security log stream <Syslog_Stream_Name> format sd-syslog
     Here <a.b.c.d> represents the IP of the Juniper SRX device, <Syslog_Stream_Name> represents the name which can be assigned to CyberHub and <host-ip-address> represents the IP of the CyberHub

6. Make sure that logging is enabled on the security policies configured on the device. If it is not enabled, enable it using the following commands:

   • set security policies from-zone <zone-name1> to-zone <zone-name2> policy <policy-name> then log session-close

   • set security policies from-zone <zone-name1> to-zone <zone-name2> policy <policy-name> then log session-init

7. Configure host name on the device using the below command:
   set system host-name <hostname>
   Here <hostname> represents the hostname assigned to Juniper SRX device.

8. Then enter the command commit to save the above executed commands on the device configuration.
