What We Monitor
Juniper ScreenOS is the operating system that runs on Juniper routers. In addition to directing network traffic between networks, routers often perform certain security functions as well. The behavior and functionality of the router is determined by the configuration stored at the router. CimTrak for Network Devices monitors the device configuration for changes, logs the changes, and then notifies the responsible parties of them
How CimTrak for Juniper ScreenOS Works
When CimTrak locks a Juniper device for monitoring, it reads the configuration of the device. It calculates a digital signature for the configuration, and stores it in CimTrak’s master repository along with a copy of the configuration. At user-configured intervals, CimTrak reads the configuration, calculates the digital signature, and compares it to the signature stored in CimTrak’s master repository.
When CimTrak detects a change in the configuration, the configuration and its digital signature
