3 Architectural Information
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the
Security Target.
The TOE is the CommScope Technologies LLC, Ruckus FastIron ICX Series
Switch/Router 08.0.70 family of products.
The TOE is composed of a hardware appliance with embedded software installed on a
management processor. Optionally, a number of co-located appliances can be connected
in order to work as a unit with a common security policy. The embedded software is a
version of CommScope’s proprietary FastIron software. 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
(using the Ruckus FastIron FIPS and Common Criteria Configuration Guide) 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 SSH. This remote management interface
is protected using encryption as explained later in this ST.
The hardware platforms that support the TOE have a number of common hardware
characteristics:
 Central processor that supports all system operations, i.e. PowerPC etc.
 Dynamic memory, used by the central processor for all system operations
 Flash memory, used to store the operating system image
 Non-volatile memory, which stores configuration parameters used to initialize the
system at system startup
 Multiple physical network interfaces either fixed in configuration or removable as
in a chassis-based product
3.1 TOE Evaluated Platforms
The TOE is the CommScope Technologies LLC, Ruckus FastIron ICX Series
Switch/Router 08.0.70 including the following series and models:
a. ICX-7150 (ICX 7150-24, ICX 7150-24P, ICX 7150-48, ICX 7150-48P,
ICX 7150-48PF, ICX 7150-48F, ICX 7150-C10ZP, ICX 7150-48ZP)
b. ICX-7250 (ICX 7250-24, ICX 7250-24P, ICX 7250-48, ICX 7250-48P)
c. ICX 7450 (ICX 7450-24, ICX 7450-24P, ICX 7450-48, ICX 7450-48P, ICX
7450-48F)
d. ICX 7650 (ICX 7650-48P, ICX 7650-48ZP, ICX 7650-48F)
e. ICX 7750 (ICX 7750-48F, ICX 7750-48C, ICX 7750-26Q)
CommScope Technologies LLC,

While there are different models in the ICX 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 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 the security target.
The different series have differing CPUs as described below:
 The ICX 7150 Series utilizes a Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1GHz
 The ICX 7250 Series utilizes a Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1GHz
 The ICX 7450 Series utilizes a Dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1GHz
 The ICX 7650 Series utilizes a Quad-core ARM Cortex A57 1.6GHz
 The ICX 7750 Series utilizes a Freescale P2041, 1.5 GHz CPU
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 IOS is designed to
control and enable access to the available hardware functions (e.g., program execution,
device access, facilitate basic routing and switching functions). IOS enforces applicable
security policies on network information flowing through the hardware appliance.
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 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.
3.3 Physical Boundaries
Each TOE appliance runs a version of the CommScope software 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 an 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 use a RADIUS authentication server is included the evaluated configuration with
communication occurring over a protected channel.

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. Protection of the TSF
6. TOE access
7. 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 be configured to send the logs to a designated log server using TLS 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 SSH and
TLS. The TOE supports SHA1 message digest authentication for NTP servers.
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.

4.5 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 such that they
are not accessible, even by an administrator. It also provides its own timing mechanism to
ensure that reliable time information is available (e.g., for log accountability).
Note that the TOE is a single appliance or 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.
4.6 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.
4.7 Trusted path/channels
The TOE protects interactive communication with administrators using SSH 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 TLS
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:
 collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices, Version 2.1, 24 September

The scope of this evaluation was limited to the functionality and assurances covered in the
NDcPP21 as described for this TOE in the Security Target. Other functionality included in
the product was not assessed as part of this evaluation. All other functionality provided by
the devices needs to be assessed separately, and no further conclusions can be drawn about
their effectiveness.
6 Clarification of Scope
All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that
need clarification. This text covers some of the more important limitations and
clarifications of this evaluation. Note that:
