New Software Features and Enhancements Introduced in 6.3.0

The following sections describe the new features introduced in the ScreenOS 6.3.0
release.
Authentication
User AuthenticationBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the Juniper Networks security

device supports authentication redirection for HTTP traffic that is directed to a
nonstandard destination port.
Antivirus (AV) and Web Filtering
Sophos Anti-Spam to replace Symantec Anti-SpamBeginning mid-September

2009, Sophos Anti-Spam service will be made available to the ScreenOS-based
products; SSG, and ISG. The Sophos Anti-Spam service will replace the Symantec
Anti-Spam.
There will be no impact to customers running any version of ScreenOS. No configuration
changes are required. The redirection to Sophos servers will be automatic and
transparent to the end-user. The security devices will be pointed to the Sophos servers.
AntispamBeginning with ScreenOS 6.2.0, Antispam enhancement inspects the

parameters in the received email header.
Juniper Full Antivirus DatabaseBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, Kaspersky Lab

supports only a single antivirus database known as Juniper Full Antivirus Database.
The existing databases such as extended, itw and standard are removed.
Virus Description and Alert MessageIf the data sent in FTP or HTTP Traffic contains
a virus, the security device replaces the data with a warning message or drops the data.
In both cases, a message with a URL link that describes the virus is logged.
For SMTP, IMAP and POP3 Traffic, the security device in addition to the above, changes
the content type to text/plain, replaces the body of the message with a notice and a
URL link that describes the virus, sends it to the appropriate recipient, and notifies the
sender.
Web Filtering Whitelists and Blacklists Without a LicenseWeb filtering supports

the following features even if the license key is not installed or has expired:
Define Web-filtering profiles and bind them to policies
Retrieve category information for HTTP requests
Define static whitelist and blacklist categories
Check cache for categories
NOTE: The device does not support checking the cache for categories
if the key is not installed, but it does support this check if the key is
expired.
10
Integrated Web Filtering Based on Group MembershipIn the previous release, the
URL filter profile was bound to policy. Beginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0 release, the
administrator can bind the profile to user group. The Web Filtering (WF) Manager
extracts the URL from the request and identifies the username and user group
associated with the IP address. If the user belongs to multiple user groups, the WF
Manager binds the profile with the user group that has highest priority. Then, the WF
Manager identifies the category of the URL and permits or blocks the request
accordingly. User groups can be prioritized.
Increased Number of Web-Filtering Profiles on SSG 500seriesFor integrated Web

filtering, the number of customer-defined profiles for SSG 550 and SSG 520 devices
is increased to 300 profiles from 50 (SSG 550) and 25 (SSG 520).
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Redistributing Routes in BGPFor each virtual router (VR), BGP can support up to
17000 redistributable routes. The increase in redistributable routes in BGP to 17000
applies to the NetScreen-5000 platforms only.
Display Format of BGP Community ListsBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the

configuration file displays the BGP community lists in a new AA NN format, where AA
identifies autonomous system and NN identifies community. This new format is in
compliance with RFC-1997.
CLI
x-in-ip
set envar x-in-ip
x-in-ip
In [ISG-1000 and ISG-2000] devices, Protocol 97 forwards traffic through

CPU and not hardware, causing high CPU. To allow the unknown protocols
like Protocol 97, use the following command: set envar x-in-ip=yes
Use unset command to disable envar.
Example: The following command allows the unknown protocols like Protocol 97 on
the device:
set envar x-in-ip=yes
reset
Device Management
Enabling Syslog on Backup DevicesBackup devices in an Active/Passive NSRP

configuration can now send all syslog messages to the syslog server, allowing an
administrator to effectively monitor the backup devices. By default, this feature is
disabled.
Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) ScreenOS 6.3.0

supports SNMPv3 framework. System status data can be collected securely from the
device without the data being tampered with and corrupted. The SNMPv3 USM allows
ScreenOS to encrypt the confidential information to prevent the contents from being
exposed on the network. The SNMPv3 VACM provides a configurable access control
model for easy administration.
11
Interface Administrative StatusScreenOS 6.3.0 supports a command for setting

an interface administrative status to the down state. By default, the administrative
status of an interface is set as up. The administrator can disable the administrative
status of an interface with the CLI:
set interface xx disable
Increased Number of Hosts per SNMP CommunityBeginning with the ScreenOS

6.3.0 release, you can configure 64 hosts per SNMP community. In earlier releases of
ScreenOS, this value was limited to no more than 40 hosts per SNMP community.
Include Device Serial Number in Log MessagesBeginning with the ScreenOS 6.3.0
release, for system logs, the device serial number is used as a unique device identifier
within the logs.
VLAN1 Interface to Support DHCP and AUTO ConfigurationBeginning with the

ScreenOS 6.3.0 release, the VLAN1 interface of a device in transparent mode supports
the DHCP client and AUTO CONFIG features.
Loading Configuration from USBWhen the SSG device initializes, and if the
administrator has configured envar properly, then ScreenOS can check if the USB
device is connected to the port and loads the configuration file usb: auto_config.txt (if
the file is stored in the USB device).
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP supportThe maximum number of DHCP relay agents supported is enhanced

from 3 to 4.
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
12
AC VPN EnhancementsScreenOS 6.3.0 supports dual-hub Auto Connect virtual

private network (AC-VPN) where one hub remains active, passing the traffic from one
spoke to another spoke until a dynamic VPN tunnel is established. The hub with the
highest routing instance priority becomes the active one. The spokes use the VPN
monitoring feature to check the status of the hubs. When the hub acting as a primary
fails, the dynamic tunnel and its associated NHRP routing instance are removed at
both the spokes. Traffic begins to pass through the other hub, which creates a new
dynamic tunnel. If the failed hub comes back, the spokes choose this hub again because
of the priority setting. However, the traffic continues to flow through the newly created
dynamic tunnel until the other fails.
Support for Multiple Proxy IDs Over Route-Based VPNScreenOS 6.3.0 supports
multiple proxy IDs on a route-based VPN. If multiple tunnels exist between peers, the
security device uses proxy IDs to route the traffic through a particular tunnel. For each
proxy ID, a specific tunnel and Phase 2 SA are associated. When traffic matching a
proxy ID arrives, the security device does a proxy-ID check to route that traffic. If multiple
proxy IDs are defined for a route-based VPN, a proxy ID check is always performed,
even if it is disabled. In a hub-and-spoke topology, proxy IDs should be defined for both
hub-to-spoke and spoke-to-spoke configurations.
DPD EnhancementScreenOS 6.3.0 provides a DPD enhancement that allows the

dead peer to failover the tunnel to another VPN group member with the second highest
weight. It uses the DPD reconnect parameter to renegotiate the tunnel with the dead
peer at specific intervals. If the tunnel is successfully renegotiated, the tunnel fails back
to the first member.
Elliptical Curve Diffie-Hellman Key ArrangementScreenOS 6.3.0 supports elliptical

curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) groups 19 and 20 for Internet Key Exchange version 1
(IKEv1) key exchange. ECDH uses elliptical curve cryptography to generate public-private
key pair. The module sizes of DH groups 19 and 20 are 256 bits and 384 bits ECDH
prime curves, respectively.
Support Authentication Header Transport Mode[ISG 1000/2000, NS 5200/5400

M2/SPM2 , NS 5200/5400 M3/SPM3] ScreenOS 6.3.0 supports authentication header
(AH) transport mode on high-end systems for IPv4 packets only. This feature does not
work if IPv6 is enabled in the system environment.
IKEv2 Configuration Payload (CP) and Dial-up SupportSupport for IKEv2

configuration payload (CP) for dynamic end points and IKEv2 dial-up group user VPN
is available in this release. For details on the implementation, refer to the Concepts &
Examples ScreenOS 6.3.0 Reference Guide.
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
Support OSPFv3 for IPv6 Beginning ScreenOS 6.3.0, Juniper Networks security
device supports OSPFv3 for IPv6. Most configuration and operational commands
function essentially the same as in OSPFv2.
OSPFv3 does not support the following features:
NBMA link and neighbor authentication
Demand Circuit and NSSA
Multiple instances per link.
OSPFv3 is supported across all platforms. However, advanced mode license is required
to run it on the following devices:
ISG1000
ISG1000 with SM
ISG2000
ISG2000 with SM
Command to Inhibit AAAA Requests over IPv4ScreenOS 6.3.0 provides an option

to enable or disable the Network Address Translation-Port Translation Domain Name
System Application Layer Gateway (NAT-PT DNS ALG) to modify DNS requests
received from the IPv6 domain. Besides translating the addresses for transmitted DNS
requests, the NAT-PT DNS ALG also modifies the DNS request before forwarding it to
another domain that has only IPv4 addresses. By default, this option is disabled.
IPv6 Prefix and DNS Information UpdateScreenOS 6.3.0 supports dynamic IPv6
prefix and DNS information update from the upstream DHCPv6 server. A CPE router
acting as a DHCPv6 and PPPoE client negotiates IPv6 prefixes and DNS information
for the downstream DHCPv6 server on the other interface of the same CPE router. If
13
the connection between the CPE router and the upstream DHCPv6 server is
disconnected and then re-established, the CPE router updates the newly learned IPv6
prefix and DNS information dynamically on the downstream DHCPv6 server without
waiting for the delegated prefix to expire.
SIBR IPv6 SupportBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0r13, the Source Interface-Based

Routing (SIBR) feature supports IPv6 SIBR tables. When SIBR is enabled in a virtual
router (VR), the security device performs route lookup in an SIBR routing table. The
configuration of this feature remains the same, except for the fact that the interface
gateway cannot be used as a next-hop if the IPv6 gateway parameter is not specified.
The CLI command is updated as:set vrouter <vr_name> route source in-interface
<interface_name> <IPVX_addr1/mask> interface <interface_name> gateway
<IPVX_addr2>
Client-to-Site IPv6 VPN SupportBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0r13, configuring IPv6

addresses from a server to a client is now supported with IPv6 IP pools. A new command
has been introduced:set ippool [ippool name]<ipv6 address> <ipv6 address>.
ISG-IDP Diagnostic Improvements
IPv6 Full Support on ISG-IDPBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, ISG Security Module
provides IPv6 support for the following features: packet capture and packet logs for
IPV6 traffic; configure header match information for IPv6 traffic and ICMPv6 messages;
IPv6 traceroute anomaly; IPv6 log messages in the NSM log viewer.
ISG-IDP Means to Identify the Secure Module (SM) Used by a SessionBeginning

with ScreenOS 6.3.0, users can identify which SM card and CPU a session is using. It
is possible to filter the session table output with the CLI command get session sm-slot
slot-id sm-cpu cpu-no.
Command for Displaying CPU Usage on SMBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, users
can enable the security device to calculate the CPU usage of the ISG Security Module
for the last 60 seconds, last 60 minutes, and last 24 hours by using the
sc_enable_cpu_usage parameter.
Transfer Core Dump to the Management Module Flash or Compact FlashBeginning

with ScreenOS 6.3.0, users can transfer the core dump files from the RAM disk of the
ISG Security Module to the flash memory of the management module using the CLI
command set sm-ctx coresave.
SNMP Trap and Event Log Entries for ISG with IDPFrom ScreenOS 6.3.0, ISG Security
Module supports generating log messages and SNMP Traps when CPU usage, memory
usage, and session count per IDP security module exceeds the user-defined threshold.
The device also generates messages when it detects an IDP security module failure.
NOTE: The user-defined threshold value is not stored in NSM. The value
is reset to the default once the system reboots.
14
Inspection of Multicast traffic by IDP Security ModuleBeginning with ScreenOS

6.3.0, users can enable ISG Security Module to inspect multicast traffic by using the
CLI command set flow multicast idp.
NOTE: For multicast traffic inspection, all outgoing interfaces should belong
to the same zone.
UAC Integration with Role-Based IDP PolicyFrom ScreenOS 6.3.0, ISG Security
Module can support role-based IDP policy. Administrators can configure the security
device to inspect traffic using either user roles or source IPs. When user-role-based
IDP inspection is selected, the security device starts checking user-role-based policies
first; if a match is not found, only then the security device searches for IP-based rules.
This feature requires UAC deployment and role information is provided by Infranet
Controller.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Enhancement to IKE and ESP Passthrough TrafficBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0,

Network Address Translation (NAT) supports both NAT-Traversal and
Non-NAT-Traversal IKE and IPsec passthrough traffic. The Application Layer Gateway
(ALG) is enabled to support interface NAT and IKE DIP pool NAT.
Support for More Than 62946 Sessions per IP in a DIP Pool When the security
device performs NAT-src with a DIP pool containing an IP address range with PAT
enabled, each DIP:DPort pair can only be assigned to one session. Beginning with
ScreenOS 6.3.0, you can enable DIP to support multiple sessions per DIP:DPort. The
DIP pool supports multiple session per DIP:DPort only if two packets have different
destination IP addresses. After configuring the DIP pool scale size, every IP address
contains multiple port pools that consist of all available ports for an IP address. Every
IP can support up to scale-size* 62463 sessions.
The maximum scale size for an interface cannot exceed the DIP scale size value
specified in the vsys profile.
TCP Session Close NotificationScreenOS sends a TCP session close notification

ACK message to both the client and the server when a session is being closed.
To enable a policy to send TCP session close notification, complete the following
prerequisites:
You must enable TCP SYN checking and TCP reset options in both the client and
the server zones.
You must enable TCP sequence check only for ISG 1000/2000 and NS 5200/5400.
Creating a Session Cache to Accelerate HTTP TrafficBeginning with ScreenOS

6.3.0, you can create a session cache for HTTP-based protocols to minimize CPU
utilization and to enhance performance. A session cache is a special structure that
caches all the reusable information of both software and hardware sessions created
by the first connection of an HTTP session bundle.
A session cache supports other traffic but does not ensure performance enhancement.
You cannot create a session cache for the following conditions:
When the session is synched from another security device.
15
When the session is created by an Application Layer Gateway (ALG).
Importing Traffic to the Correct VSI by Proxy ARPThe administrator can enable
importation of traffic to the correct VSI by setting the proxy ARP entry. Upon adding a
proxy ARP entry on an interface, ScreenOS imports the traffic that is destined to the
IP range using this interface.
You can use the CLI command proxy-arp-entry or WebUI Network > Interface > Edit>
Proxy ARP Entries to set the proxy ARP entry.
NAT-Dst Port Shift using VIPUsing the port-range VIP entry, a range of ports can be
mapped between Virtual IP and Real Server IP.
NetScreen Redundancy Protocol (NSRP)
Add More Detail to the Output of get nsrpThe output of the get nsrp vsd-group
command includes a new column; the uptime column for VSD group or myself uptime
column for current security device denotes the duration in the primary or backup state.
Other
Hot Patch ManagementBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the hot patch enables
injecting the customer service patch into the running image without rebooting the
security device. The hot patch as debug patch provides for easier debugging.
The ScreenOS hot patch management component runs on the security device and
performs the following functions:
16
Loads the hot patch file from TFTP to flash memory
Removes the hot patch file from flash memory
Maintains the patch finite state machine (FSM)
Cache Recently Used Route and ARP EntriesBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, Juniper
Networks security device allows the user to cache recently used route and ARP entries
for destination routes by using the set flow route-cache command. This feature does
not work if ECMP is enabled.
Ability to Add exec and save Commands to Scripting ToolBeginning with ScreenOS
6.3.0 release, the ScreenOS scripting tool supports the exec and save commands.
These commands are visible in the script context record. The parser identifies these
commands in the script record context and saves them into the script. This
enhancement enables the user to execute commands that facilitate troubleshooting.
Timeout for Track IPBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the user can set the maximum
timeout value for track IP.
Boot with Default Gateway IPThe new ScreenOS boot loader allows you to define
a default gateway IP, then user can download image from a remote TFTP server.
Identifying Gigabit InterfaceBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, users can identify the
type of gigabit interface using the CLI command get interface interface-name.
Boot Loader for SSG and Boot ROM Version for ISG or NetScreen5000 series
Displayed in CLIBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, you can view the boot loader for an
SSG device and boot ROM version for ISG or NetScreen5000 device using the get
system command.
Example 1:
ssg20-> get system
BOOT Loader Version: 1.3.2
Example 2:
nsisg2000-> get system
BOOT ROM Version: 1.1.0
WELF Log Format EnhancementBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, enhancements

have been made to the event log, traffic log and IDP log formats to follow the WELF
log regulation. If backup for the logs is enabled, logs can be sent to a maximum of four
Webtrends servers. TCP or UDP transport protocol can be used for communication.
IP connections can be manually reset. The following log types must be sent along with
the appropriate heading prefix:
Configuration log [Config Change]
URL Filter Detection [URL filtering]
AntiVirus Detection [AntiVirus]
Antispam Detection [AntiSpam]
IPS/DI Detection [IPS/DI]
Screen Attack [Attack]
SCTP Protocol FilteringBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the existing Stream Control
Transmission Protocol (SCTP) stateful firewall supports protocol filtering. You can
configure the security device to permit or deny traffic based on the SCTP Payload
Protocol and M3UA Service Indicator. The Payload Protocol identifies the type of data
being carried out by the SCTP data chunk, the M3UA Service Indicator identifies the
type of data being carried out by the M3UA data message. Based on the Payload
Protocol, you can create an SCTP profile and bind it to a policy.
NOTE: ScreenOS supports SCTP protocol filtering on NetScreen-5000

and ISG series devices only.
Converting join-group igmp Commands to exec join-groupBeginning with ScreenOS

6.3.0, the exec join-group and exec leave-group commands replace the set igmp
join-group and unset igmp join-group commands. The exec join-group command replaces
the set join-group command. The exec leave-group command replaces the unset
join-group command. There is no impact on the functionality of the commands. The
set and unset commands are deprecated.
Boot Loader for SSG-140A new boot loader version Loadssg140v326.d has been
released for SSG-140 platform. For more information, see the JTAC knowledge base
number KB 23407 located at http://kb.juniper.net/KB23407
17
Policies
Policy Installation Enhancement Beginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, the policy

installation process has been enhanced.
The new process provides the following advantages:
Avoids frequent policy re-installation caused by dynamic DNS address changes.
Eliminates traffic drops while installing the policy.
Allows the user to configure the hold-interval option of policy installation using the
following CLI command:
set policy install hold-interval seconds
The default value is 5 seconds. The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 10. This
command specifies the maximum time interval between when policy configuration
occurs and actual policy installation begins. When the user creates a new policy or
modifies an existing policy, the policy installation is delayed by up to the value of
hold-interval value specified. This allows the system to more efficiently process the
session table by handling several updates at once or by reducing the thrashing caused
by extremely rapid updates.
unset policy install hold-interval
The unset command resets the default value of hold-interval.

Example: To configure hold-interval option to 2 seconds:
set policy install hold-interval 2
DSCP Marking for Self-Initiated TrafficBeginning in ScreenOS 6.3.0r12, you can

configure IKE packets with DSCP values for self-initiated packets. During IKE module
process negotiation, the configured IKE packets marked with the values can be used.
To mark the IKE packets with the specified value, enable the service using the command
set ip service ike dscp <dscp-value>.
DSCP Marking Based on Policy ConfigurationIn ScreenOS 6.3.0r12, when a session

matches a policy with DSCP enabled, the bidirectional traffic performs the DSCP
marking.
The DSCP feature is now enhanced to prevent DSCP re-marking packets that already
have a DSCP value. This feature enables a DSCP group to have more than one DSCP
value for a packet.
The DSCP marking for each packet is checked to determine whether the DSCP value
belongs to a DSCP group before the packet does the DSCP marking. If the DSCP value
does not belong to a DSCP group, the device retains the packet's DSCP value.
Low-End PlatformsFor CPU-based platforms, all packets in the first path or fast
path are checked for DSCP value and DSCP marking based on policy configuration.
The configuration is effective in all conditions irrespective of whether the first packet
matches the policy configuration or not.
High-End PlatformsFor high-end platforms, the DSCP marking for fast path is
processed by the ASIC according to the session installed by the first path. Only the first
18
path is checked for the DSCP value to determine the DSCP marking based on policy
configuration.
If the first packet arrives with an existing DSCP value and if the DSCP value does not
belong to the DSCP group in the policy configuration, then the session will not perform
DSCP marking for that packet. Subsequent packets in the session will also not have
the DSCP marking done even if the DSCP value matches the DSCP group in the policy
configuration.
NOTE: If the policy has been configured as no-hw-sess in high-end

platforms, then the implementation is same as in low-end platforms, as
all the packets are processed by the CPU.
The DSCP group is used to classify traffic within the device and to classify a number
of DCSP values having the same behavior as the configured DSCP group. The DSCP
group allows you :
To create a DSCP group and to define the DSCP group type. The maximum number
of DSCP groups allowed per VSYS is 64. The DSCP group types are:
IncludeSpecifies adding or including the DSCP values to the configured DSCP
group . By default, the DSCP value for a group is zero.

set dscp-group name <group name> include
ExcludeSpecifies to removing or excluding the DSCP values from the configured
DSCP group. By default, the group contains 64 DSCP values.

set dscp-group name <group name> exclude
To configure a DSCP value for a policy. If a DSCP value is not configured for any
policy, then you can insert a DSCP value into a DSCP group, or you can delete a DSCP
value from a DSCP group.
set dscp-group <group name> dscp-value <low number>-<high number>
To display the DSCP group information.

get dscp-group <group name>
To bind a DSCP group to a policy for low-end platforms:

Set policy from <zone_name> to <zone_name> <src_addr_name> <dst_addr_name>
<service name> <action> traffic dscp enable <value> group-dscp <group name>
<service name> <action> traffic dscp enable group-dscp <group name>
<service name> <action> traffic dscp enable value <value> group-dscp <group name>
<service name> <action> traffic dscp enable group-dscp <group name>
To bind a DSCP group to a policy for high-end platforms:
19

<service name> <action> traffic priority <value> dscp value <value> group-dscp <group
name>
<service name> <action> traffic dscp value <value> group-dscp <group name>
<service name> <action> traffic priority <value> group-dscp <group name>
Routing
IRDP Support for All PlatformsBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0 release, ICMP Router
Discover Protocol (IRDP) support is available on all platforms; however, IRDP support
is available only on an Ethernet interface with an IP address.
DSCP Marking for Self-Initiated TrafficThe administrator can configure the DSCP
value for traffic initiated by the security device. The DSCP value can be configured for
11 services: BGP, OSPF, RIP, RIPNG, TELNET, SSH, WEB, TFTP, SNMP, SYSLOG, and
WEBTRENDS. You can use both the CLI and the WebUI to configure DSCP marking.
QoS Classification Based on Incoming MarkingsIn ScreenOS 6.3.0, traffic-shaping

policies are enhanced to support quality of service (QoS) based on the IP precedence
and Differentiated Services code point (DSCP) marking of incoming packets. The QoS
classification feature for incoming traffic works only if the traffic-shaping mode is set
to Auto or On.
Adding Routes to BGPIn ScreenOS 6.3.0r11, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
conditional advertisement feature supports route advertisement using different address
family checks. By default, a BGP advertises the best routes in its routing table to its
peers. You can use the BGP conditional advertisement feature by using the check option
in set vr <virtual-router-name> protocol bgp command to configure conditional
advertisement of BGP routes to a peer or a peer group in a different address family.
BGP conditional advertisement is supported in IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
To configure and to advertise one IPv4 network route to peer and check the
reachability of one IPv4 subnet or IPv6 subnet:
set vr vr-1 protocol bgp ipv4 network <ipv4_addr/mask>
check<ipv4_addr/mask|pv6_add /prefix_length>
To configure and to advertise one IPv6 network route to peer and check the
reachability of one IPv4 subnet or IPv6 subnet:
set vr vr-1 protocol bgp ipv6 network <ipv6_addr/prefix_length >
check<ipv6_addr/prefix_length | ipv4_addr/mask>
The conditional advertisement feature has been enhanced to include the following
new configuration option and parameters to check the subnet of different address
family:
ipv4_addr/mask The IP address and subnet mask of the network. The subnet mask
value indicates which bits of the address are significant. The mask does not have to
be the same as the subnet mask used in the network. For example, 10.0.0.0/8 is a
20
valid network to be advertised by BGP. When the check option is used,

ip4_addr1/mask1 can be a MIP address range.
ipv6_addr/prefix_length The IP address and prefix length of the network. The
address is specified in hexadecimal format, using 16-bit values between colons. The
prefix length is a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous
bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address).
check Directs the device to check network reachability before advertising BGP
peers.
Security
Denial of Service Attack DefensesScreenOS 6.3.0 supports the feature of strict

TCP-SYN-check wherein a strict syn check is applied to all the packets in a TCP
three-way-handshake before the three-way handshake completes. Users can enable
this feature by using the set flow tcp-syn-check strict command.
Verification of IP address in ASIC WhitelistBeginning with ScreenOS 6.3.0, users

can verify if a specific IP-address is in the ASIC whitelist by using the get asic ppu
whitelist ip-address command.
Support for SecureID Server ClusterRSA supports a primary server and up to 10

replica servers to process authentication requests. At least one of primary or slave
servers must be configured with static IP. RSA SecureID Server Cluster supports the
name locking, load balancing, and failover functions.
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Enhancement to VPN support in VSYS The system can only support up to 16K static
VPN tunnels in a VSYS. An enhancement was made to enlarge per-VSYS static tunnel
capacity to the system max (25K) by preempting VPN group tunnels via environment
variable "no-vpn-grp=yes".
Automatically Configuring a Local IPv6 Address for an IPv6 IKE Gateway In

ScreenOS 6.3.0r11, you can automatically configure a local address for IPv6 IKE gateway.
In order to configure an IPv6 IPsec tunnel, you must define the local IPv6 address in
the IKE tunnel configuration. When you are configuring large number of devices, defining
a local IPv6 address can be difficult. This enhancement enables you to automatically
configure a local IPv6 address through DHCPv6 or IPv6 Stateless Address Auto
Configuration (SLAAC) into the IKE tunnel configuration.
To automatically configure a local address for an IPv6 IKE gateway, set the IPv6 address
0::0 as the local address in the following command:
For IKEv1
set ike gateway <name> address <peer-ipv6-addr> aggressive outgoing-interface
<out-if-name>local-address 0::0 preshare <secret> sec-level standard

Changes to Default Behavior

This section lists changes to default behavior in ScreenOS 6.3.0 from earlier ScreenOS
firmware releases.
Changes to Default Behavior Introduced in 6.3.0
BGP Configuration After you upgrade from ScreenOS 6.1 to ScreenOS 6.3, only the
connected route will be displayed in the routing table. However, the BGP route export
will fail, because the firewall is not configured to the connected routes.
To force the route export:
set vrouter "trust-vr"
set protocol bgp <protocol>
[...]
set ipv4 network <ip address> no-check
[...]
Changes to Default Behavior Introduced in 6.3.0r17
SNMP Configuration An ipaddr has been configured in v1/v2 mode." error was
displayed when an SNMPv3 was being configured after SNMPv2 was configured. An
ipaddr has been configured in v3 mode." error was displayed when an SNMPv2 was
being configured after SNMPv3 was configured.
NSRP ConfigurationThe backup interface status (ifOperStatus) displays the state

as testing when the physical interface status is UP and as down when the physical
interface status is DOWN in an NSRP passive cluster member.
Public Key Infrastructure A new command is introduced to support manual certificate

renewal process by using the same distinguished name without modifying the
configuration but by updating the existing certificate in use by removing it.
set pki x509 manual-renew
To work on this feature, perform the following:
22
Generate a key-pair: If the key-pair with the DN is supported in PKI-store, then add
a pad to PKI-store using CN=NSMANAULRENEW command to generate a new
key-pair. As a result, there are two key-pairs in PKI-store.
Generate a PKI request: If there is a pad CN=NSMANAULRENEW already available

in the DN for the key-pair, then remove the pad to generate PKI request. This is to
ensure that the new certificate will have the same DN as the old certificate.
Load the certificate: The new certificate with the same DN replaces the old certificate.
Changes to Default Behavior
Recording event log messages in the right VSYS In a multiple VSYS configuration
on the firewall, an event that occurred in a specific custom VSYS-A was incorrectly
recorded as an event log message in the root VSYS or in a different custom VSYS-B.
This behavior is corrected and fixed. As per the behavior change we now log the event
log messages under the right VSYS specified for and will avoid logging incorrect event
log messages in different VSYS.
IGMP packets compatibility A command was introduced to permit IGMP packets

with TTL greater than one and to provide compatibility with other interoperability
devices:
set interface <interface name>protocol igmp no-check-ttl
Firewall can block packets with a Routing headerFirewall has the ability to block
packets with a routing header type 0. To avoid blocking all the routing headers, the
firewall supports the routing header type filters using the following command:
set service < name>protocol routing-ext-hdr type<value>
HMAC SHA-256 RFC 4868 complianceThe previous implementation of HMAC

SHA-256, incorrectly truncated the message digest at 96 bits. It now uses 128 bits, in
accordance with RFC 4868.
IPv6 packet extension headerTo filter or deny the extension header with user-defined
service, define the src-port and dst-port as wildcard 0-65535.
NSRP ConfigurationNSRP configuration is out of synchronization due to set tftp

source-interface <interface name> command.
Increase in the capacity of number of service objects and address groupsFor ISG
Series, the capacity of number of service objects and address groups is increased to
4096. For NS 5000, only the capacity of number of service objects is increased to
4096.
Maximum timeout value of ipsec-nat algThe maximum value of ipsec-nat alg timeout
has been changed from 180 to 3600 seconds.
VPN tunnel capacity for advanced license keyOn SSG550, the VPN tunnel capacity
has been changed from 1000 to 2048 for advanced license key.
Unexpected Low VPN ThroughputWhen VPN monitor is configured for VPNs on

NetScreen-5200 or NetScreen-5400, the device can define sub-optimal ASIC mapping
for processing VPN traffic in the hardware which causes unexpected low VPN
23
throughput. A new command set flow ipsec-distr-asic is introduced to include the

enhancement that VPN encryption will be distributed into different chips based on the
tunnel's SA index per round robin. By default, it is disabled. This is applicable for
NetScreen-5000 series only. For NetScreen-5000 series with VPN on IPv6 environment,
enabling this command is not recommended as it would yield less than optimal
performance.
The set igmp join-group and unset igmp join-group commands for the interface are
deprecated. If you execute the set/unset igmp join-group commands, the following
warning appears:
WARNING: This command is a deprecated command and cannot be saved to
configuration. Please use the following new preferred syntax:
exec igmp interface if_name join-group group_addr [{ include | exclude| to_include
|to_exclude} sources_ip ]
The CLI command set interface interface nameproxy-arp-entry ip_min ip_max takes
precedence over the existing set arp nat-dst command. This means that when the
proxy ARP entry is defined and matched, then the system does not respond to the ARP
request via the physical interface.
Because the set interface interface nameproxy-arp-entry ip_min ip_max command allows
the customer to have better control of the device, the command set arp nat-dst is not
recommended.
The SNMP changes might affect the management software as follows:
Logical interfaces are added to the interface table.
Several new SNMP traps are introduced in the ScreenOS 6.3.0. For details on the
new SNMP traps, see the change history of published ScreenOS 6.3.0 MIB
NS-TRAPS.mib.
You can consider modifications as required.

update fails.
426280The attack db rollback command did not work on some platforms. For the
other platforms, the result of the command was logged as either successful or failed

Domain Name System (DNS)
439044If syslog server is referenced using DNS hostname, syslog messages are still
sent to the original IP address even after the IP address of the hostname is changed.
Flow
235781Using transparent mode, under high traffic conditions, sometimes a small

number of sessions cannot be cleared. The sessions appear to be "time 0" but continue
to remain in the session table. Running set sat session-clean clears these sessions from
the table after one round of session cleaning.
239631If you configure the initial session timeout below the valid range (20300
seconds), the system interprets these values as minutes instead of seconds.
422979When GTP inspection was enabled, ICMP Destination Unreachable packets

of the GTP session were dropped.
426075When GTP inspection was enabled, occasionally a DeletePdpResponse or

EchoResponse dropped and the message non-existent gsn appeared in the log.

High Availability and NetScreen Redundancy Protocol (HA and NSRP)
235303Delay in the peripheral devices updating the forwarding table when a failover
occurs in an NSRP cluster in transparent mode. When the devices have no gratuitous
ARP mechanism as in NAT or Route mode, peripheral devices update the forwarding
table only when the active physical interface is restarted. The update happens after
five seconds by default.
236275In transparent mode, if the VSD group is not bound to a VLAN group, the
security device incorrectly reports the VSD as being in Active-Passive mode.
236634In an Active-Passive configuration, if the active security device handles a

large number of FTP connections, the CPU utilization of the backup device remains
high even when the rate of the FTP connections per second on the backup is low.
253467If a device's SIP traffic is very heavy in an NSRP deployment, although the
master box works well, there are delays when resources on the backup box are removed.
Operational impact on the cluster is minimal, and the backup box recovers
automatically.
303714For NSRP cluster deployments, when upgrading from ScreenOS 5.4 (or any
earlier release), the following ALGs do not sync correctly until both devices in the pair
are upgraded: SIP, SCCP, MGCP, RTSP, SQL, PPTP, P2P, AppleiChat, and H.323.
422747In the Active/Active mode, FIN packet in the NSRP data path is not processed
correctly when SYN-CHECK is enabled.
424242When performing an NSRP failover, the route pointed to a different tunnel

interface. However, the synchronized session continued to point to the old SA tunnel.
437661The RIP and OSPF MD5 authentication results in the NSRP configuration are
not in synchronization.
438794Backup NSRP firewall lost synchronized OSPF routes.
74
305128If only a destination port (dst-port) is specified in IDP flow filter, the filter
does not capture traffic in both directions.
305295If an IDP rule is configured with the attack value NONE, then diffserv does
not work. Also, when the IDP rule attack value is NONE, if a TCP packet that matches
the drop packet action passes through the device, IDP is unable to escalate the response
and drop the connection.
410393When updating offline from the Local Server, the automatic DI signature
update fails.
426280The attack db rollback command did not work on some platforms. For the
other platforms, the result of the command was logged as either successful or failed
in event log.
Addressed Issues
Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)
227934SSG platforms incorrectly process the ICMPv6 error packet that they receive
in response to a non-first fragment packet that exceeds the outgoing interface MTU.
236085In transparent mode, you cannot manage a zone that is on a vsys using the
zone nsrp manage CLI command, because it is a global setting based on vlan1 interface.
In root mode, you can manage only the related vsys.
236087On SSG 320/350 devices, a 4-byte PVE tag is used to identify which interface
the packet came from, limiting the maximum supported packet length to 1514 bytes.
236549When deployed in transparent mode, some high-end platforms such as ISG

1000-IDP do not support more than 20 reassembled segments. If you try to ping another
device with data that requires more than 20 reassembled segments (for example,
30,000 bytes), the ping request fails.
239285ScreenOS does not verify the IP address that you enter when you configure
the security device.
239598On some high-end platforms, after you have enabled IPv6, the CLI incorrectly
allows you to enable parameters such as DSCP marking, IDP, and NSRP Data
Forwarding that are not supported in IPv6 mode.
267239When modifying an IPv6 or a wildcard policy through the WebUI, all existing
sessions for the policy are removed. However, existing sessions are not removed if you
only modify some minor featuressuch as session-limit or alarm-without-dropof
an ordinary IPv4 policy through the WebUI.
Management
218168The incorrect range in integrated URL filtering SC-CPA cache is causing NSM
validation error.
272925When the console timeout is set to 0, telnet client applications have no way
to determine when a session has timed out. If the telnet client has not sent data for a
significant length of time and the session should timeout, the TCP socket for the telnet
session might not be correctly released.

255774The debug command unset console dbuf might make the box unstable,
especially under heavy traffic. Administrators are advised to use care when running
this command.
258931Due to a memory limitation, NS 5000 devices are currently unable to support

500 vsys when an advanced license keysuch as for virtual router or Layer 2
Active-Active supportis part of the deployment.
263480When a small second packet follows a jumbo frame (more than 8500 bytes)
on 10G card within a minute, then it might be dropped.
263512ScreenOS 6.1.0 includes a new SSHv2 secondary login banner feature.

However, unless the feature is enabled, if the secondary banner is displayed before a
login prompt on a console or via a Telnet connection, no positive acknowledgment to
the secondary banner is required (applicable to console, Telnet, SSHv1, and SSHv2
connections).
263585In certain situations, Network Address Translation (NAT) traffic using H.323
ALG resets the device.
266022Because the NS 5400 supports 2 million sessions by default in 6.1 (and

6.0.0r2 and later), you must ensure that the device has a minimum of 450MB of free
memory when upgrading from 5.4 or 6.0.0r1 to 6.1.0 or 6.0.0r2. One million sessions
require approximately 340MB of memory.
274425The drop of to-self IKE packets is not logged when no IKE is configured.
312046On some devices, an attempt to negotiate the maximum transmission unit

(MTU) using the ICMP "packet too big" packet might fail. Failure to negotiate the MTU
might, for example, cause an FTP session failure. The failure is caused in part because
the ICMP packet is sent only once.
387143The alarm LED is cleared automatically without issuing the clear led alarm
command.
391304The duration of time reported by policy traffic logs is shorter than the actual
time duration.

Known Issues
Flow
456996The syn-cookie does not function for IPv6 SYN packet with fragment header.
This packet type is generated when IPV4 translates to IPV6 and the DF bit is not set
in original V4 packet.
This does not impact the IPv4 only deployment in any way. The syn-cookie feature can
be used in IPv4 deployment. For IPv6 deployment, syn-proxy option can be used.
440783[ISG] The CPU does the GTP packet check only for the first GTP-DROP
UserGtPdu and drops it correctly.
Hardware
440062On executing the set interface X/X phy link-down command on the
JXU-1SFP-S card, the interface link status is erroneous. This is because the TX of fiber
transceiver cannot be disabled on the JXU-1SFP-S card.
313252On the ISG series device, when the Security Module is functioning in the TAP
mode, then ScreenOS only transfers the first fragment of packets to Security Module.
436544The Security Module of the ISG series cannot detect certain DNS compound
attack. This is because of the detector functionality.
Other
416822 If you execute the CLI command save many times, there is no FBTL available
to extend the flash life. Because this conflict with the FAT cluster allocation process,
it leads to logic flash block leakage. This will be fixed in the subsequent ScreenOS

continued and repetitive execution of the get file command.
454916 On a Jupiter chip, when clearing the ARP table several times with heavy VPN
encryption traffic poured out, all of the VPN encrypted packets are sent to CPU for l2

The following information is missing in the Dialup Virtual Private Networks chapter in
the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide:
When creating a VPN policy with address group and service group, the proxy ID is

and service group using the same VPN tunnel, the following error message appears:
The new policy id <#> has identical IKE id as that of policy id <#>.. vpn invalid or not exist.
To resolve this error, create a new VPN tunnel using a different IKE gateway with
different dialup user and IKE ID. The new VPN tunnel creates a new VPN ID. Create the
second policy with a different address group and a service group using the new VPN
tunnel. Therefore, the proxy ID check refers to the new tunnel.

The following information in the Denial of Service Attack Defenses chapter in the
ScreenOS 6.3.0 Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide Teardrop Attack
section is correct when the firewall expects 548 (Including IP header) but contains
528 (excluding IP header).
When the sum of the offset and size of one fragmented packet differ from that of the
next fragmented packet, the packets overlap, and the server attempting to reassemble
the packet can crash, especially if it is running an older operating system that has this
vulnerability. After you enable the Teardrop Attack SCREEN option, and when the
device detects this discrepancy in a fragmented packet. The packets are dropped.
The following information is updated in Denial of Service Attack Defenses Chapter in

the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide:
In the Attack threshold, Alarm Threshold, Source Threshold, and Destination Threshold
sections the statement same destination address and port number must be updated
as same destination address and ingress interface port (physical port or logical port
like sub interface) in all the occurrences.
The following is the list of updated thresholds:
Attack ThresholdAttack threshold is triggered based on same destination IP plus

same Ingress Interface Port (physical port or logical port like sub interface) per sec
required to activate the SYN proxying mechanism.
NOTE: Threshold is not triggered based on Transport Layer ports (TCP

ports or UDP ports).
For example, if Attack threshold is 20, so if there are 20 PPS to same destination IP
and on same Ingress interface, then the ATTACK threshold will be triggered. However,
if there are 20 PPS to the same destination, but distributed among multiple incoming
interfaces, then ATTACK threshold will not be triggered.
Alarm ThresholdThe value you set for an alarm threshold triggers an alarm when
the number of proxied, half-completed connection requests to the same destination
address and ingress interface port (physical port or logical port like sub interface)
per second exceeds that value. For example, if you set the SYN attack threshold at
97
2000 SYN segments per second and the alarm at 1000, then a total of 3001 SYN
segments to the same destination address and ingress interface port (physical port
or logical port like sub interface) per second is required to trigger an alarm entry in
the log.
For each SYN segment to the same destination address and ingress interface port
(physical port or logical port like sub interface) in excess of the alarm threshold, the
attack detection module generates a message. At the end of the second, the logging
module compresses all similar messages into a single log entry that indicates how
many SYN segments to the same destination address and ingress interface port
(physical port or logical port like sub interface) arrived after exceeding the alarm
threshold. If the attack persists beyond the first second, the event log enters an alarm
every second until the attack stops.
Source ThresholdThis option allows you to specify the number of SYN segments
received per second from a single source IP addressregardless of the destination
address and ingress interface port (physical port or logical port like sub
interface)before the security device begins dropping connection requests from
that source.
Tracking a SYN flood by source address uses different detection parameters from
tracking a SYN flood by destination address and ingress interface port (physical port
or logical port like sub interface). When you set a SYN attack threshold and a source
threshold, you put both the basic SYN flood protection mechanism and the
source-based SYN flood tracking mechanism in effect.
Destination ThresholdThis option allows you to specify the number of SYN

segments received per second for a single destination IP address before the security
device begins dropping connection requests to that destination. If a protected host
can be reached through multiple ingress interfaces, you might want to set a threshold
based on destination IP address onlyregardless of ingress interface
Tracking a SYN flood by destination address uses different detection parameters
from tracking a SYN flood(Attack Threshold) where destination address plus ingress
interface port (physical port or logical port like sub interface) is used. Consider the
following case where SYN Flood Attack threshold is 20, and Interface 1 as well as
Interface 2 are the ingress interfaces to reach the same server. An attacker sends 19
PPS to Interface 1 and 19 PPS to Interface 2; neither set of packets (where a set is
defined as having the same destination address and same ingress interface) activates
the SYN proxying mechanism. The basic SYN flood attack mechanism (ATTACK
Threshold) tracks destination address and ingress interface (physical or logical like
sub interface), and neither set exceeds the attack threshold of 20 pps. However, if
the destination threshold is 20 pps, the device treats traffic with same destination
address to both the ingress interfaces as members of a single set and rejects the
21st packeton Ingress Interface 1 or Ingress interface 2 to that destination.
In Setting a Service Timeout section of Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference

Guide, the behavior of timeout value function is as follows:
98
For 5.3.0r2 and earlier releases, when a policy is configured with multiple services or
groups and if the matched service has an overlapped service timeout then the option
is to select the last service timeout configured.
Errata
From 5.3.0r3 and later releases, when a policy is configured with multiple services
or groups and if the matched service has an overlapped service timeout then the
option is to select the first matching service in the policy in alphabetical order.
For more information see the JTAC Knowledge base number KB11970 located at
http://kb.juniper.net/KB11970 .
The following information in Service Timeout Configuration and Lookup section in the
Building Blocks for Policies chapter is incorrect:
Services with multiple rule entries share the same timeout value. If multiple services
share the same protocol and destination port range, all services share the last timeout
value configured.
Services with multiple rule entries share the same timeout value. When we set multiple
services in a policy, and if these services share the same protocol and destination port
range, then the service entries are arranged in alphabetical order. The first service
timeout value is selected when processing the timeout lookup.

The following information in the ntp Through RIPng chapter of the 6.2.0 and 6.3.0
ScreenOS IPv6 CLI Reference Guide: Command Descriptions is incorrect and redundant:
av
set policy { } av name_str
set av name_str
unset policy { pol_num | id pol_num } av name_str
unset av name_str
av name_str
Sends HTTP or SMTP traffic to which the policy applies to the specified
antivirus (AV) scanner, which examines the data for viruses. If it finds a virus,
the AV scanner quarantines the infected data for further study and returns
the SMTP or HTTP filewithout the infected datato the security device,
which then forwards the file to the intended recipient
Example: The following command instructs the security device to forward SMTP traffic
originating from the remote mail server r-mail in the Untrust zone and destined for the
local mail server mail1 in the DMZ zone to an AV scanner named av1:
set policy id 1 from untrust to dmz r-mail1 mail1 smtp permit av av1
ScreenOS 6.2.0 and ScreenOS 6.3.0 IPv6 policies do not support av.

The correct URL is: https://services.netscreen.com/restricted/signupdates.
Hardware Installation and Configuration Guide
In the installation and configuration guides for devices, Hardware Overview chapter,
Device Status LEDs section, Table 2: Device Status LED Descriptions, the following
information is incorrect:
ALARM - Amber - On steadily - HA status changed or redundant group member not
found.
ALARM - Amber - On steadily - HA peer device status changed or redundant group
member not found.
In the installation and configuration guides for SSG 140, SSG 300M Series and SSG
500M Series devices, Table 2: Device Status LED Descriptions, the following information
is incorrect:
ALARM - Amber - On steadily - Low memory (less than 10% remaining) and high CPU
utilization (more than 90% in use).
ALARM - Red - On steadily - Either the memory or CPU usage reached alarm threshold.
ScreenOS Upgrade Guide
The following note has to be added in the ScreenOS Upgrade Procedures chapter in
the Figure 1: Firmware Upgrade Path
NOTE: For the SSG 500 device, it is strongly recommend to update the
upgrade path with the boot loader 6.0 before proceeding to the ScreenOS
latest version.
106
Limitations and Compatibility
The following note has to be added in the ScreenOS Upgrade Procedures chapter
Upgrading Security Devices in an NSRP Active/Passive Configuration section in the From
CLI heading after point e.
NOTE: If the command save soft from tftp ip_addr screenos_filename to

flash is executed while the device is still NSRP Master, then an NSRP failover
would be automatically performed when executing this command.
In the ScreenOS Upgrade Procedures chapter, in Table 1: Upgrade Paths to ScreenOS

6.3.0, the upgrade recommendation (boot-loader filename) for SSG520, SSG550,
SSG520M, and SSG550M is incorrect.
The correct upgrade recommendation (boot-loader filename) for SSG520, SSG550,
SSG520M, and SSG550M is Loadssg500v107.

This section describes limitations and compatibility issues with the current release.
Limitations of Features in ScreenOS 6.3.0

This section describes the limitations of some features in the ScreenOS 6.3.0 release.
They apply to all platforms unless otherwise noted.
NOTE: Transceiver CompatibilityJuniper Networks strongly recommends

that only Juniperprovided transceivers be used on interface modules.
Different transceiver types (long-range, short-range, copper and so on) can
be used together on multi-port SFP interface modules as long as they are
Juniper-provided transceivers.
Juniper Networks cannot guarantee that the interface module will operate
correctly if third-party transceivers are used.
Please contact Juniper Networks for the correct transceiver part number for
your device.
Admin login sessions not cleared automaticallyIf the admin timeout value is set to
zero using the set console time 0 command, any accidental network disconnection
(For example, a cable is unplugged or the client is not closed normally) leaves the
associated sessions open and leave an active entry in the admin table. The entries are
not cleared until the device is reset. [281310].
Telnet client not available from a Virtual System (Vsys)The new telnet client from
the CLI interface enhancement is not available at the Vsys level. [307763]
Fast Ethernet port trunking on ISG 1000/2000 requires consecutively numbered

portsFast Ethernet port trunking on ISG 1000 and ISG 2000 devices has a limitation.
If an aggregate interface has more than two ports defined, the ports must be numbered
consecutively without interruption when they are added to the interface.
107
For example, ethernet2/2, ethernet2/1, and ethernet2/3 ports can be configured even
in the order given because they are numbered consecutively. If ports ethernet2/1,
ethernet2/2, and ethernet2/4 are configured, however, then sessions on this interface
experience load balancing issues. This second example is not a supported or
recommended configuration.
Use of DIPs and SCTP multi-homingThere are several Stream Control Transmission
Protocol (SCTP) limitations when the ScreenOS devices uses DIPs.
When SCTP multi-homing is used with DIPs, there is source port translation error
that results in erroneous source port translation and ultimately dropped traffic.
When DIPs are used in an SCTP multi-homing deployment, sessions cannot be

immediately cleared when a shutdown message is received. Sessions are freed after
a timeout.
When SCTP multi-homing is employed on a device using DIPs, not all sessions are
synched by devices in an NSRP cluster.
When DIPs are used with SCTP multi-homing, SCTP heartbeat traffic is dropped by
the device, thus the SCTP heartbeat function is not supported.
ScreenOS 6.3.0 does not support SCTP multi-homing when DIPs are used by the
ScreenOS device. [285236, 285672, 285722, 285988]
8G2-G4 card throughput stabilityRunning repetitive maximum throughput tests at

certain small frame sizes, can cause a variance of up to about 14% difference in
throughput between two test cycles. The behavior is restricted to the 8 port G4 card.
This does not jeopardize customer traffic in any way.
NetScreen 5000 series throughput stabilityFor NetScreen5000 8G2-G4, a

hardware limitation might result in degraded throughput stability. This limitation is
also present in ScreenOS 6.0.0 and 6.1.0. [287811]
TCP and UDP sweep screen attack monitoringThe TCP and UDP sweep screen
check is insufficiently accurate. Under extended testing, the TCP and UDP sweep screen
sometimes reports benign traffic or below-threshold attacks as valid sweep attacks.
[293313]
Virtual MAC Address duplicationBecause ScreenOS derives VMACs based on

information taken from cluster ID, interface ID, and VSD, it is not permitted to use the
same clusters and VSDs on the same broadcast domain. If cluster IDs and VSDs are
duplicated on a broadcast domain, it might result in the same VMAC being assigned
to more than one interface or device. [300933]
PIM Power and Thermal RequirementsIf you install either 8-port or 16-port uPIMs
in your SSG 140, SSG 500-series, or SSG 500M-series device, you must observe the
power and thermal guidelines. Please refer to the PIM and Mini-PIM Installation and
Configuration Guide for the power and thermal guidelines for all supported platforms,
available at:
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/pim_guide/pim_guide.pdf .
108
WARNING: Exceeding the power or heat capacity of your device might

cause the device to overheat, resulting in equipment damage and network
outage.
NSRPNSRP is not supported on WAN interfaces. Devices with WAN interfaces can
use NSRP, but the WAN ports do not automatically failover as the Ethernet ports do.
Flood ScreensOn ISG 1000, ISG 2000, NetScreen-5000 Series devices, the UDP
and ICMP flood screens apply to the physical interface and therefore require that the
zone be bound to a physical interface. The following limitations apply:
When zones are bound to a sub-interface, the ICMP and UDP flood screens are not
enforced unless the zone is also bound to a physical interface.
When ICMP and UDP flood screen options are configured for different zones and on
the same physical interface, the flood threshold is applied based on the last
configured zone threshold.
When ICMP and UDP flood screen options are applied to a zone tied to multiple
physical interfaces, the entire threshold value is applied to each of the physical
interfaces.
For reference, the High Availability (HA) zone does not allow any screen features to
be configured.
UDP and ICMP Flood ScreeningScreenOS 6.3.0 does not support UDP and ICMP
flood screening for aggregate interfaces in ISG and NetScreen 5000 series. [428057]
Configuration file downloads through WebUI without authenticationUsing the

WebUI, the firewall downloads the configuration file without authentication. For more
information, see the JTAC knowledge base number KB 12943 located at
http://kb.juniper.net.
Call unhold failsAccording to RFC 3261, a calling party shall use a=sendonly to hold
a call and a=sendrecv to unhold it. The observed behavior of the SIP phone used in our
testing is that it does not include the a=sendrecv command when it tries to unhold a
call. This lack causes the SIP server to return a "500 internal error" response because
it is unable to determine the state of the transaction. This problem is a telephony
system issue that cannot be resolved by ALG. Hence, there is no work around for this
issue available through a firewall. [300723].
Maximum number of OSPF Redistributed RoutesFor the SSG 320M/350M , the

supported maximum number of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) redistributed routes
is 4096, but it might be possible to exceed the maximum. OSPF redistributed routes
are handled in two parts: route task and OSPF task. The route task adds redistributed
routes to OSPF continuously during one CPU time slice. The redistributed routes counter
are not, however, updated until the OSPF task is processed by the CPU, so more routes
might be added in OSPF when the routes are added using an automated script. Routes
entered or redistributed manually should not be able to exceed 4096. [258979]
ISG and NetScreen 5000 series Multicast Hardware SupportMulticast sessions

can be handled by the ASIC only if there is a single output interface per virtual router.
109
The mcast group address can be pushed to ASIC so frames are forwarded in hardware.
To use this feature run the set/unset flow multicast install-hw-session command.
[309007, 427260]
HA pair on ISG2000 devicesCurrently ScreenOS does not support redundant or

aggregate interfaces in an active-active HA pair on ISG2000 devices. Packets received
on the backup device cannot pass through the cluster in an active-active ISG2000
pair.
ASIC Hardware SupportICMP-flood and UDP-flood detections are done by ASIC on

high-end platforms such as ISGs and NS-5000. There is no detection method to let
the ASIC know if the alarm-without-drop is configured. Therefore, the ASIC drops the
attack packets. On SSG series, the flow CPU detects and determines if the
alarm-without-drop is configured or not and takes appropriate actions.
PoliciesPolicy Verification exec policy verify command is not supported for IPv6
policies. It is only supported for IPv4 policies.
ICSA ScreenOS captures raw IP packets of types 0, 6, 17, 43, 44, and 60 to the packet
log when the set flow log-dropped-packet and set firewall log-illegal-packet commands
are configured. The packet log may be accessed through the command get log packet.
However, the packet log is available only on the device. It may not be transmitted to
an external syslog server.
Client-to-Site IPv6 VPN SupportIPv6 IP pools are supported in the IKEv1 protocol,
but they are not supported in the L2TP, PPP, and IKEv2 protocols.
Documentation Changes
Starting with the ScreenOS 6.3.0 documentation, the content presentation of the
following guides is standardized to align with Juniper Technical Publications Standards:
Concepts & Examples ScreenOS 6.3.0 Reference Guide
