    You can write match rules to prevent certain logs like this from writing to file or sending to syslog.  This kb outlines the process.

    Hi Thomas,

     

    I'd suggest you to create a firewall filter and bind this to the lo0 interface. This is also called a control plane protection filter. You can find some help inside this Juniper day one book:

     

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/day-one-books/TW_HardeningJunosDevices_2ndEd.zip

     

    The whole book is important, but if you just want to protect the Routing Engine, then you can start directly at page 111.

    However, I'd really suggest you to read the whole book and make appropriate changes.

    This example is just for securing SNMP. Please note that this single filter is not enough, as it would discard ALL other traffic (SSH, RADIUS, Routing Protocols, ...) and make you device dead, so you need to adapt your RE protection with the help of the mentioned book.

     

    set snmp community "<your SNMP community>" authorization read-only

    set snmp community "<your SNMP community>" clients <the IP address which is allowed to query your Router>

     

    set policy-options prefix-list snmp-servers apply-path "snmp community <*> clients <*>"

     

    set firewall family inet filter protect-re term allow-snmp from source-prefix-list snmp-servers

    set firewall family inet filter protect-re term allow-snmp from protocol udp

    set firewall family inet filter protect-re term allow-snmp from destination-port snmp

    set firewall family inet filter protect-re term allow-snmp then accept

     

    set firewall family inet filter protect-re term default-deny then discard

    Good morning guys,

     

    I have read the book and it is very good for my company.

    In chapter 2 I want to set set my system port console log-out-on-disconnect.

     

    By my MX960 I can do it.

    By  my other MX 80 and Mx 104 i can only disable the ports and not by disconnect, why.

    The Version is 17.R4

    Hello Thomas,

     

    Some platforms do not support this "log-out-on-disconnect" command, as the internal chip which handles this behavior is on some platforms too old or not designed for this.

    At least for MX80 this is true:

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/configuration-statement/console-edit-system-ports.html

     

    "The log-out-on-disconnect option is not operational on MX80 routers. On MX80 routers you must manually log out from the console with the request system logout u0 command."
