3 Architectural Information
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the
Security Target.
The TOE is CommScope Technologies LLC., Ruckus FastIron ICX 7450 Series Router
8.0.70 with IPsec VPN. The TOE is being evaluated as a VPN Gateway and provides IPsec
services to its clients. The optional IPsec VPN Module must be included in the evaluated
configuration. The IPsec VPN Module is a FPGA module that is embedded when the
optional IPsec VPN Module is purchased.
The TOE is composed of a hardware appliance with embedded software installed on a
management processor. The software controls the switching and routing network frames
and packets among the connections available on the hardware appliances.
All TOE appliances are configured at the factory with default parameters to allow
immediate use of the system’s basic features through its Command Line Interface (CLI).
However, the product should be configured in accordance with the evaluated configuration
prior to being placed into operation. The CLI is a text based interface which is accessible
from a directly connected terminal or via a remote terminal using IPsec.
3.1 TOE Evaluated Platforms
The evaluated configuration consists of the following models: ICX 7450 (ICX 7450-24,
ICX 7450-24P, ICX 7450-48, ICX 7450-48P, ICX 7450-48F) with the IPsec VPN module
(FastIron Service Module FPGA version 2.09).
While there are different models in the series, they differ primarily in physical form factor,
number and types of connections and slots, and relative performance. The ICX Series
possesses between 24 and 80 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports, and the presence of “F” in
the model number indicates 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports instead of RJ-45 ports and the
CommScope Technologies LLC,
Ruckus FastIron ICX 7450 Series Validation Report Version 1.0, 8 September 2020
Router 08.0.70 with IPsec VPN

presence of “P” indicates that the RJ-45 ports are PoE+. While there are some functional
differences among the families, they each provide the same security characteristics as
claimed in this security target. The ICX 7450 Series utilizes a Quad-core ARM Cortex A9
1GHz.
3.2 TOE Architecture
The basic architecture of each TOE appliance begins with a hardware appliance with
physical network connections. Within the hardware appliance, the Ruckus FastIron is
designed to control and enable access to the available hardware functions (e.g., program
execution, device access, facilitate basic routing functions). FastIron enforces applicable
security policies on network information flowing through the hardware appliance.
The basic start-up operation of the TOE is as follows:
1. At system startup the operating system is transferred from flash memory to dynamic
memory using a built-in hardware bootstrap.
2. The operating system reads the configuration parameters from the configuration
file in non-volatile memory and then builds the necessary data structures in
dynamic memory and begins operation.
During normal operation, IP packets are sent to the management IP address or through the
appliance over one or more of its physical network interfaces, which processes them
according to the system’s configuration and the state information dynamically maintained
by the appliance. This processing typically results in the frames or packets being forwarded
out of the device over another interface. The TOE will process other packets destined for
itself (control path packets) based on the requirements of the given protocol (IPsec).
3.3 Physical Boundaries
Each TOE appliance runs a version of the Ruckus FastIron firmware and has physical
network connections to its environment to facilitate routing and switching of network
traffic. The TOE appliance can also be the destination of network traffic, where it provides
interfaces for its own management.
The TOE may be accessed and managed through a PC or terminal in the environment which
can be remote from or directly connected to the TOE.
The TOE can be configured to forward its audit records to an external syslog server in the
network environment. This is generally advisable given the limited audit log storage space
on the evaluated appliances.
The TOE can be configured to synchronize its internal clock using an NTP server in the
operational environment.
FastIron can utilize IPsec protected RADIUS authentication.

4 Security Policy
This section summaries the security functionality of the TOE:
1. Security audit
2. Cryptographic support
3. Identification and authentication
4. Security management
5. Packet Filtering
6. Protection of the TSF
7. TOE access
8. Trusted path/channels
4.1 Security audit
The TOE is able to generate logs for a wide range of security relevant events. The TOE
can be configured to store the logs locally so they can be accessed by an administrator and
also to send the logs to a designated log server using IPsec to protect the logs while in
transit on the network.
4.2 Cryptographic support
The TOE contains a CAVP-tested cryptographic module that provides key management,
random bit generation, encryption/decryption, digital signature and secure hashing and
key-hashing features in support of higher-level cryptographic protocols including IPsec.
4.3 Identification and authentication
The TOE requires users to be identified and authenticated before they can use functions
mediated by the TOE, with the exception of passing network traffic in accordance with its
configured switching/routing rules. It provides the ability to both assign attributes (user
names, passwords and privilege levels) and to authenticate users against these attributes.
4.4 Security management
The TOE provides Command Line Interface (CLI) commands to access the wide range of
security management functions to manage its security policies. All administrative activity
and functions including security management commands are limited to authorized users
(i.e., administrators) only after they have provided acceptable user identification and
authentication data to the TOE. The security management functions are controlled through
the use of privileges associated with roles that can be assigned to TOE users. Among the
available privileges, only the Super User can actually manage the security policies provided
by the TOE and the TOE offers a complete set of functions to facilitate effective
management since the Super User allows for complete read-and-write access to the system.

Ruckus FastIron ICX 7450 Series Validation Report Version 1.0, 8 September 2020
Router 08.0.70 with IPsec VPN

4.5 Packet Filtering
The TOE provides extensive packet filtering capabilities for IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP.
The authorized administrator can define packet filtering rules that apply to most every field
within the identified packet types. The authorized administrator can define each rule to
permit, deny, and log each decision.
4.6 Protection of the TSF
The TOE implements a number of features to protect itself to ensure the reliability and
integrity of its security features.
It protects sensitive data such as stored passwords and cryptographic keys so that they are
not accessible, even by an administrator. The TOE provides its own timing mechanism to
ensure that reliable time information is available (e.g., for log accountability).
Note that the TOE as evaluated, is a single appliance or optionally, a closely grouped (e.g.,
in the same rack) collection of appliances acting as a unit. As such, no intra-TOE
communication is subject to any risks that may require special protection (e.g.,
cryptographic mechanisms).
The TOE includes functions to perform self-tests so that it might detect when it is failing.
It also includes mechanisms (i.e., verification of the digital signature of each new image)
so that the TOE itself can be updated while ensuring that the updates will not introduce
malicious or other unexpected changes in the TOE.
4.7 TOE access
The TOE can be configured to display a message of the day banner when an administrator
establishes an interactive session and subsequently will enforce an administrator-defined
inactivity timeout value after which the inactive session (local or remote) will be
terminated.
4.8 Trusted path/channels
The TOE protects interactive communication with administrators using IPsec for CLI
access to ensure both integrity and disclosure protection. If the negotiation of an encrypted
session fails or if the user does not have authorization for remote administration, an
attempted connection will not be established.
The TOE protects communication with network peers, such as a log server, using IPsec
connections to prevent unintended disclosure or modification of logs.
5 Assumptions
The Security Problem Definition, including the assumptions, may be found in the following
documents:
