Foreword
The Netherlands Scheme for Certification in the Area of IT Security (NSCIB) provides a third-party
evaluation and certification service for determining the trustworthiness of Information Technology (IT)
security products. Under this NSCIB, TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. has the task of issuing
certificates for IT security products, as well as for protection profiles and sites.
Part of the procedure is the technical examination (evaluation) of the product, protection profile or site
according to the Common Criteria assessment guidelines published by the NSCIB. Evaluations are
performed by an IT Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF) under the oversight of the NSCIB Certification
Body, which is operated by TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. in cooperation with the Ministry of the
Interior and Kingdom Relations.
An ITSEF in the Netherlands is a commercial facility that has been licensed by TÜV Rheinland
Nederland B.V. to perform Common Criteria evaluations; a significant requirement for such a license is
accreditation to the requirements of ISO Standard 17025 “General requirements for the accreditation
of calibration and testing laboratories”.
By awarding a Common Criteria certificate, TÜV Rheinland Nederland B.V. asserts that the product or
site complies with the security requirements specified in the associated (site) security target, or that
the protection profile (PP) complies with the requirements for PP evaluation specified in the Common
Criteria for Information Security Evaluation. A (site) security target is a requirements specification
document that defines the scope of the evaluation activities.
The consumer should review the (site) security target or protection profile, in addition to this
certification report, in order to gain an understanding of any assumptions made during the evaluation,
the IT product's intended environment, its security requirements, and the level of confidence (i.e., the
evaluation assurance level) that the product or site satisfies the security requirements stated in the
(site) security target.

Recognition of the certificate
Presence of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement and SOG-IS logos on the certificate
indicates that this certificate is issued in accordance with the provisions of the CCRA and the SOG-IS
agreement and will be recognised by the participating nations.
International recognition
The CCRA has been signed by the Netherlands in May 2000 and provides mutual recognition of
certificates based on the CC. Starting September 2014 the CCRA has been updated to provide mutual
recognition of certificates based on cPPs (exact use) or STs with evaluation assurance components
up to and including EAL2+ALC_FLR. The current list of signatory nations and approved certification
schemes can be found on: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
European recognition
The European SOGIS-Mutual Recognition Agreement (SOGIS-MRA) version 3 effective from April
2010 provides mutual recognition of Common Criteria and ITSEC certificates at a basic evaluation
level for all products. A higher recognition level for evaluation levels beyond EAL4 (resp. E3-basic) is
provided for products related to specific technical domains. This agreement was initially signed by
Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Italy
joined the SOGIS-MRA in December 2010. The current list of signatory nations, approved certification
schemes and the list of technical domains for which the higher recognition applies can be found on:

2.2 Security Policy
The major security features provided by the TE are summarised as follows:
1. Authentication: The TOE authenticates administrative users based on the user name and
password. The TOE supports local authentication and remote authentication via RADIUS or
TACACS+ server.
2. Access Control: The TOE supports multiple user access levels. By default there are 4 different
user levels. The user levels can be refined and extended to 16 levels.
3. Traffic Forwarding: The TOE forwards network packets based on static routing tables or
dynamic routing tables.
4. Auditing: The TOE logs all security management events and provides functionality to the
administrators to review the audit logs.
5. Communication Security: The TOE provides SSHv2 for the administrators to connect to the
TOE and manage the TOE.
6. IP-based ACL: The TOE offers a feature Access Control List (ACL) for filtering incoming and
outgoing information flow to and from interfaces on Interface boards. The administrator can
create, delete, and modify rules for ACL configuration to filter, prioritize, rate-limit the
information flow destined to TOE through interfaces on Interface boards by matching
information contained in the headers of IP packets against ACL rules specified.
7. Security functionality management: Security functionality management includes not only
authentication, access level, but also managing security related data consisting of
configuration profile and runtime parameters.
8. Cryptographic functions: The TOE provides the following cryptographic functions: AES
encryption for SSHv2, RSA used for SSH authentication, HMAC-SHA256/HMAC-SHA512 for
SSH verification algorithm, and HMAC-SHA256 as verification algorithm for the OSPF, BGP,
and ISIS protocols.

9. SNMP Trap: The TOE provides SNMP trap to notify a fault occurs or the system does not
operate properly.
2.3 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
2.3.1 Assumptions
The assumptions defined in the Security Target are not covered by the TOE itself. These aspects lead
to specific Security Objectives to be fulfilled by the TOE-Environment. Detailed information on these
security objectives that must be fulfilled by the TOE environment can be found in section 4.2 of the
[ST].
2.3.2 Clarification of scope
The evaluation did not reveal any threats to the TOE that are not countered by the evaluated security
functions of the product.
The TOE is advertised that it has VXLAN and SDN capability in its general advertisement. However
the user should be aware that in the certified configuration, both VXLAN and the SDN are excluded
from the certified configuration and should not be used in the certified configuration. See [AGD]
section 10 for more details and all other non-evaluated options.
2.4 Architectural Information
The subsystems of the TOE are represented in the three functional groups, each group corresponding
with one major security functionality:
 Management Plane Subsystem: Management plane subsystem provides maintenance and
management functions, and is responsible for handling commands from the Device Manager,
such as command, Net-manager, schema, etc.
 Control Plane Subsystem: Control plane subsystem is responsible for controlling protocol
interaction between devices, and issues hardware forwarding table according to Control plane
calculation results.
 Forwarding Subsystem: Forwarding plane subsystem is responsible for querying forwarding
table, processing and forwarding the packet. Considering forwarding performance, it is mostly
for hardware forwarding (forwarding engine) and a few may use software forwarding (soft
forwarding).

2.6 IT Product Testing
Testing (depth, coverage, functional tests, independent testing): The evaluators examined the
developer’s testing activities documentation and verified that the developer has met their testing
responsibilities.
2.6.1 Testing approach and depth
The developer test plan consists of 12 different categories of tests of 84 tests. The categories are
based on groupings of major security functionalities, and, in combination with all SFRs and TSFIs. In
addition, the developer also performed a number of penetration tests to demonstrate the TOE is
resistant against common attacks of the switch/router TOE type. The evaluator repeated 9 of the
developer test cases.
In addition the evaluator derived and executed 12 functional test cases focused on verifying router
core functionalities, Scanning and fingerprinting for libraries/services, verifying TOE specific security
mechanisms (e.g. plane separation) and extending the test coverage across TSFI.
2.6.2 Independent Penetration Testing
The evaluator performed a total of 16 penetration tests; 8 test cases related to the Management Plane
and 8 related to the data plane. These were derived from a vulnerability analysis including:
 SFR design analysis: Based on the information obtained in the evaluation evidence, the SFR
implementation details were examined. The aspects described in CEM annex B were
considered. During this examination several potential vulnerabilities were identified.
 Additional security analysis: When the implementation of the SFR was understood, a
coverage check was performed on the relevant aspects of all SFRs. This expanded the list of
potential vulnerabilities.
 Scanning the TOE using the applicable vulnerability scanning tools (e.g., NMAP, NESSUS,
NEXPOSE) to collect information about the TOE and identify potential vulnerabilities.
 Public vulnerability search: The evaluator performed public domain vulnerability search based
on the TOE name, TOE type, and identified 3rd party security relevant libraries and/or
services. Several additional potential vulnerabilities were identified during a search in the
public domain.
 The potential vulnerabilities identified were analysed, and some of the potential vulnerabilities
were concluded not exploit within in the Basic attack potential, or covered by guidance. For
remaining potential vulnerabilities, penetration tests were devised.
2.6.3 Test Configuration
The developer testing was performed using:
 CE16804 device running V200R005C20SPC800, with:
o CE-MPUD-HALF

o CE-SFU16G-G
o 36 ports 40GE line card
o 48 ports 10GE line card
 CE6881 device running V200R005C20SPC800
The following TOE devices were used to perform the evaluator independent functional and penetration
tests:
 CE16808, with
o CE-MPUD-HALF
o CE-SFU16G-G
o 18 ports 100GE line card
o 36 ports 40GE line card
o 48 ports 10GE line card
 CE6863
These devices were used for the execution of all except two test cases, which were executed using
CE16804 and CE6881.
2.6.4 Testing Results
The testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed
results are summarised in the [ETR], with references to the documents containing the full details.
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests produced the expected results, giving
assurance that the TOE behaves as specified in its [ST] and functional specification.
No exploitable vulnerabilities were found with the independent penetration tests.
2.7 Re-used evaluation results
There is no re-se of evaluation results in this certification.
2.8 Evaluated Configuration
The TOE is defined uniquely by its name and version number HUAWEI CE16800 series Switches and
CE6800 series Switches V200R005C20SPC800.
The digital signature for the TOE software should be verified using the signature details provided in
[ST] section 1.4.2.
2.9 Results of the Evaluation
The evaluation lab documented their evaluation results in the [ETR] which references an ASE
Intermediate Report and other evaluator documents.
The verdict of each claimed assurance requirement is “Pass”.
Based on the above evaluation results the evaluation lab concluded the HUAWEI CE16800 series
Switches and CE6800 series Switches V200R005C20SPC800, to be CC Part 2 conformant, CC Part
3 conformant, and to meet the requirements of EAL 2 augmented with ALC_FLR.2. This implies
that the product satisfies the security requirements specified in Security Target [ST].
2.10 Comments/Recommendations
The user guidance as outlined in section 2.5 contains necessary information about the usage of the
TOE. Certain aspects of the TOE’s security functionality, in particular the countermeasures against
attacks, depend on accurate conformance to the user guidance of both the software and the hardware
part of the TOE.
