Executive Summary
Juniper Networks M,T, MX and PTX Routers and EX9200 Switches running Junos OS
13.3R1.8 and Juniper QFX and EX Switches Running Junos OS 13.2X50-D19 and 13.2X51-
D20 (hereafter referred to as Junos OS 13), from Juniper Networks, is the Target of
Evaluation. The results of this evaluation demonstrate that Junos OS 13 is conformant with
the Protection Profile for Network Devices, v1.1, June 8, 2012 (hereafter referred to as the
NDPP).
Junos OS 13 is a complete routing system that supports a variety of high speed interfaces
(only Ethernet is within scope of this evaluation) for medium to large networks and network
applications.
The hardware has two components: the router itself and the PICs/DPC (Interface Cards) that
have been installed in the router. The various PICs/DPC that have been installed in the router
allow it to communicate with the different types of networks that may be required within the
environment where the router will be used.
The router architecture of each platform separates routing and control functions from packet
forwarding operations, thereby reducing bottlenecks and permitting the router to maintain a
higher level of performance.
Each router consists of two major architectural components:
 The Routing Engine, which provides Layer 3 routing services and network
management and control; and
 The Packet Forwarding Engine, which provides all operations necessary for transit
packet forwarding.
The Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding Engine perform their primary tasks
independently, while constantly communicating through a high-speed internal link. This
arrangement provides streamlined forwarding and routing control and the capability to run
Internet-scale networks at high speeds.
CGI IT Security Evaluation & Test Facility is the CCEF that conducted the evaluation. This
evaluation was completed on 15 July 2014 and was carried out in accordance with the rules
of the Canadian Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme (CCS).
The scope of the evaluation is defined by the security target, which identifies assumptions
made during the evaluation, the intended environment for Junos OS 13, and the security
functional/assurance requirements. Consumers are advised to verify that their operating
environment is consistent with that specified in the security target, and to give due
consideration to the comments, observations and recommendations in this certification
report.
Communications Security Establishment, as the CCS Certification Body, declares that the
Junos OS 13 evaluation meets all the conditions of the Arrangement on the Recognition of
Common Criteria Certificates and that the product will be listed on the CCS Certified
Products list (CPL) and the Common Criteria portal (the official website of the Common
Criteria Project).

CCS Certification Report Juniper Networks
Junos OS 13
___________________________________________________________________________
Version 1.0 3 September 2014
- Page 7 of 9 -
Development: The evaluators analyzed the Junos OS 13 functional specification and
determined that the functional specification describes the purpose and method of use for each
TSF interface and that the Junos OS 13 functional specification is an accurate and complete
instantiation of the SFRs.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the Junos OS 13 preparative user guidance
and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously
describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use
and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and
operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to
result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the Junos OS 13 configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the Junos OS 13
configuration items were clearly marked.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
10 ITS Product Testing
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
10.1 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of test goals:
a. NDPP required assurance activities: The objective of this test goal is to perform the
assurance activities mandated by the NDPP to which the TOE is claiming conformance.
10.2 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. NDPP required assurance activities. The evaluator performed the assurance activities
mandated by the protection profile to which the TOE is claiming conformance; and
b. Use of automated vulnerability scanning tools to discover potential network, platform and
application layer vulnerabilities.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.

10.3 Conduct of Testing
Junos OS 13 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent
functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the information Technology
Security Evalaution and Test Facility. The CCS Certification Body witnessed a portion of the
independent testing. The detailed testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test
cases, expected results and observed results are documented in a separate Test Results
document.
10.4 Testing Results
The independent tests yielded the expected results, providing assurance that Junos OS 13
behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification.
11 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for a NDPP conformance claim as claimed in Section
5. The overall verdict for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in
the ETR.
12 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
The end user is reminded that guidance given in the Common Criteria Configuration Guide
must be strictly followed in order to meet the security level attested to in this evaluation. For
example, the root account will remain available during continued operation but, as per the
configuration guidance, that account must not be used beyond the installation phase of device
deployment.
End users must also recognize that only the Security Functional Requirements listed in the
Security Target have been assessed during this evaluation. Any functionality of the TOE
which is beyond this scope has not been evaluated. This includes packet filtering, routing
protocols, and items listed in the “Summary of Out-of-Scope Items” section of the Security
Target.
The evaluator recommends that administrators of the TOE regularly review the Junos
Security Advisories to stay aware of security issues that might arise subsequent to the date
this evaluation is concluded.
