Product presentation and installation guide.
Recommendations on the operating environment
DEFINITION
The common criteria evaluate (on an Evaluation Assurance Level or EAL scale of 1 to 7) a
product’s capacity to provide security functions for which it had been designed, as wellas the
quality of its life cycle (development, production, delivery, putting into service, updates).
Introduction
The installation of a Firewalloften comes within the scope of setting up a global security policy. To
ensure optimal protection of your assets, resources or information, it is not only a matter of
installing a Firewall between your network and the Internet. This is namely because the majority
of attacks come from the inside (accidents, disgruntled employees, dismissed employee having
retained internal access, etc.). And one would also agree that installing a steel security door
defeats its purpose when the walls are made of paper.
Backed by the Common Criteria, Stormshield Network advises taking into consideration the
recommendations of use for the Administration Suite and Firewallproduct stated below. These
recommendations set out the usage requirements by which to abide in order to ensure that your
Firewall operates within the context of the common criteria certification.
For further information on Common Criteria compliance, please go to:
Please regularly check Stormshield security advisories published on
https://advisories.stomshield.eu.
Always update your firewall if it allows fixing a security flaw. Updates are available here:
https://mystormshield.eu.
Physical security measures
Stormshield Network Firewall-VPN appliances must be installed and stored in compliance with
the state of the art regarding sensitive security devices: secured access to the premises,
Shielded cables with twisted pairs, labeled cables, etc.
Organizational security measures
The default password of the “admin” user (super administrator) must be changed the very first
time the product is used. In the web administration interface, this password can be changed in
the Administrator module (System menu), under the Administrator account tab.
FOREWORD
The definition of this password must observe the best practices described in the User Guide, in
the section Welcome, sub-section User awareness, paragraph User password management,
availableat: https://documentation.stormshield.eu/
A particular administrative role– that of the super-administrator – has the following
characteristics:
l Only the super-administrator is permitted to connect via the local console on firewall-VPN
appliances, and only when installing the Firewall or for maintenance operations, apart from
actual use of the equipment.
l He is in charge of defining the profiles of other administrators,
l All access to the premises where the appliances are stored has to be under his supervision,
regardless of whether the access is due to an intervention on the appliance or on other
equipment. He is responsible for all interventions carried out on appliances.
IT security environment
Stormshield Network firewall-VPN appliances must be installed in accordance with the current
network interconnection policy and are the only passageways between the different networks on
which the controlpolicy for traffic has to be applied. They are scaled according to the capacities
of the adjacent devices or these devices restrict the number of packets per second, positioned
slightly below the maximum treatment capacities of each firewall-VPN appliance installed in the
network architecture.

FOREWORD
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive
All Stormshield Network products that are subject to the WEEE directive will
be marked with the mandated "crossed-out wheelie bin" symbol. This
symbol means that the product meets the requirements laid down by the
WEEE directive with regards to the destruction and reuse of waste electrical
and electronic equipment.
Thank you for choosing Stormshield Network. Designed to protect networks of all sizes,
Stormshield Network - SN range appliances are pre-configured: no hardware or software
installation is needed and no UNIX knowledge is necessary, just a user-friendly configuration via
a graphical interface.
The Stormshield Network (SN) range consists of twelve products:
The architecture of the new-generation SN range was specifically designed to maximize the
performance of the Stormshield Network protection engine. Complex application traffic is therefore
inspected at high speed at the heart of the network and without discernible latency (less than 1
millisecond).
Hardware acceleration for data encryption also anticipates the multiplication of high-speed VPN
access.
INTRODUCTION
The SN Firewall allows the definition of incoming or outgoing access control rules. Its concept is
simple: any incoming or outgoing transmission passing through the Firewall is monitored,
authorized or denied according to the rules, packet by packet.
The SN Firewall is based on a sophisticated packet filtering mechanism that provides a high level
of security. All Firewalls integrate the ASQ (Active Security Qualification) technology developed by
Stormshield Network Security. This technology allows detecting and blocking hacking attempts
in realtime illegal packets, denial of service attempts, anomalies in a connection, port scans,
buffer overflows, etc.
In the event of an intrusion attempt, depending on the instructions given in the security policy,
the SN Firewall blocks the transmission, generates an alarmand stores the information linked to
the packet which had set off the alarm. As such, you would be able to analyze the attack and
trace its source.
The SN Firewall not only allows preventing, or restricting to just certain services, incoming
connections on your network, but also allows monitoring the use of the Internet by your internal
users (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc.). You may also monitor your users by authenticating them via an
internal or external authentication database.
The SN Firewall also manages port and address translation mechanisms. These mechanisms
provide security (by masking your internal address range) and flexibility (by enabling the use of
any private internal addressing range) and reduce costs (by enabling the provision of several
servers on the Internet with a single public IP address).
Stormshield Network Vulnerability Manager, the risk management solution, is based on the
detection of applications and the associated vulnerabilities. It allows you to quickly zero in on the
most vulnerable hosts, identify affected applications and know which bug fixes to apply.
Lastly, the SN Firewall includes VPN gateway functions allowing you to establish encrypted
tunnels with other VPN equipment. In this way, your communications between sites or with your
mobile users may be secured even while using an insecure communication infrastructure like
the Internet.
Administration tools
Thanks to the web administration interface, you can administer your Stormshield Network
Firewall from the operating system of your choice. The new Firewallconfiguration interface,
accessible froma web browser, benefits from the latest breakthroughs in user friendliness and
simplicity of use.
INTRODUCTION
The dashboard gives an overview of information relating to the Firewall’s activity and its
configuration.
Through SN Activity Reports, available from a dedicated portal, you can view how Internet access
is used, the various attacks that your Firewallhas blocked and the vulnerable hosts in your
network. Furthermore, numerous interactions allow you to directly take action on the
configuration of your Firewall.
SN REAL-TIME MONITOR
SN REAL-TIME MONITOR is the application that analyzes security events in real time and allows
you to view your Firewall’s activity simply. The dashboard in particular allows you to monitor all
your SN Firewalls. This application is an excellent tool for the security of your network thanks to
the wide array of information displayed.
Several security mechanisms have been implemented to guarantee the integrity of the product
that you receive. They also validate the fact that your product has not been tampered with. Check
them carefully in order to avoid disputes later regarding the application of the warranty.
Any abnormality must be reported within 48 hours from receipt of the product, to your reseller if

the presence of rubber feet below the appliance as well as antennae on Wi-Fi products. The
procedure is as follows:
l
Using screws and caged nuts (not provided with the appliance), fasten the shelf to the vertical rails
located at the front of the cabinet.
l
Once the shelf has been installed, you can place one or two appliances on it (no additional fastening is
needed).
WARNING
If you are installing two Firewalls on the same rack mount shelf, you willneed to leave
enough space between the Firewalls to avoid obstructing the flow of air from the sides.

The Ethernet(Gigabit or 10 Gigabit) ports of
the Stormshield Network SN range are
configured in auto-sense mode, meaning
that they adapt to the configuration of the
Ethernet port on the appliance to which
they are connected. These ports are
therefore compatible with straight or
crossover RJ45 Ethernet cables.
On SN710, SN910, SN2100, SN3100 and
SN6100 models, Ethernet RJ45 ports can
be added by inserting extension modules.
WARNING
Keep data cables some distance away from
any source of electromagnetic interference
such as mains cables, radio transmitters,
fluorescent tubes, etc.
IN / OUT definition
The OUT 1 or "External" network port is
reserved for the modem or Internet router.
Access to this interface is blocked by
default, you will therefore not be able to
access the configuration interface from this
port.
To access your Firewall froma client
workstation, you will need to connect on
the IN 2 or “Internal” port, or on another
port (except port 1).

Extension modules (SN710 and upwards)
The procedure for removing or inserting an extension module on SN710, SN910, SN2100,
SN3100 or SN6100 Firewalls takes place in three main steps:
Step 1 Shut down firewall.
Step 2 Remove or insert the module.
Step 3 Shut down firewall.
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers for fiber extension modules have to be ordered separately.
SFP/SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers are hot-swappable (they can be inserted and removed while the
appliance is powered on).
Procedure for inserting or removing extension modules
No specific licenses are required for adding extension modules.
IMPORTANT
Extension modules must only be removed or inserted on appliances that have fully shut
down and which are necessarily unplugged from any electrical power supply.
NETWORK CONNECTORS
On SN6100 models, spreading out network modules between both areas is recommended in
order to enhance your product's performance. This makes it possible to balance the loads of both
CPUs. The first set of modules and the 2 network ports located on the front of the appliance are
managed as a priority by the first CPU and the second set by the second CPU.
IMPORTANT
The theoretical bandwidth availablefor each network slot is:

SNS - PRODUCT PRESENTATION AND INSTALLATION 2019
INITIAL CONNECTION TO THE PRODUCT
SN510 and SN710 modelsSN160, SN160W, SN210, S N210W and SN310 models
When you first receive your Firewall, it will run in transparent (bridge) mode and will have the IP
address 10.0.0.254 with a subnetwork mask 255.0.0.0. These parameters might not match your
network configuration, but they are however necessary for the pre-configuration phase.
To connect to the Firewall, you will need to use a workstation on which DHCP has been enabled,
or its IP address has to be in the same address range as your Firewall (10.0.0.0/8). DHCP is
enabled by default on Windows platforms If this is not the case, refer to the section Network
configuration of your client workstation. If you do not know what these parameters mean, we
strongly advise you to read up on TCP/IP as it would be very difficult for you to configure your
Stormshield Network Firewall without at least this knowledge.
NOTE
For a manual configuration, we suggest that you use the IP address 10.0.0.1 and the
subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
Network configuration of your client workstation
If DHCP has not been enabled on your client workstation, or for manual configurations, modify the
Network connection parameters of your operating system.
In Windows, you generally need to select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” from the list, then
“Properties”, and select the option Obtain an IP address automatically.
To manually configure this network, enter the necessary address information. During the initial
connection, the IP address of this workstation willneed to belong to the same address range as
the Firewall, 10.0.0.0/8 by default.

Initial connection to the appliance
A security procedure must be followed if the initial connection to the appliance takes place
through an untrusted network. This operation is not necessary if the administration workstation is
plugged in directly to the product.
Access to the administration portal is secured through the SSL/TLS protocol. This protection
allows authenticating the portalvia a certificate, thereby assuring the administrator that he is
indeed logged in to the desired appliance. This certificatecan either be the appliance’s default
certificate or the certificate entered during the configuration of the appliance (Authentication >
Captive portal). Depending on the model, it is signed by default by the authority with the name:
l NETASQ: CN=serialnumber of the appliance, O=Secure Internet Connectivity, OU=NETASQ
Firewall Certification Authority.
l Stormshield: CN=Stormshield Products Root CA, O=Stormshield, OU=Cloud Services, C=FR,
L=Issy-Les-Moulineaux.
To confirma secure access, the browser must trust the certificate authority that signed the
certificate used, which must belong to the browser’s list of trusted certificate authorities. Therefore
to confirm the integrity of an appliance, the certificate authority must be added to the browser’s
list of trusted certificate authorities before the initial connection. Depending on the model, the
corresponding authority is available on these links:
http://pki.stormshieldcs.eu/netasq/root.crt
http://pki.stormshieldcs.eu/products/root.crt
If a certificate signed by another authority has been configured on the appliance, this authority
will need to be added instead of the default authority.
As a result, the initial connection to the appliance will no longer raise an alertin the browser
regarding the trusted authority. However, a message will continue to warn the user that the
certificate is not valid. This is because the certificate defines the Firewall by its serialnumber
instead of its IP address. To stop this warning from appearing, you will need to indicate to the DNS
server that the serial number is associated with the IP address of the Firewall.
From your client workstation, type the following address in your browser:
https://10.0.0.254/admin
Enter "admin" as the login and password.
IMPORTANT
If you have connected your client workstation on port 1, you will no longer be able to
access the web administration interface You will need to connect your computer to port 2
(oron another port), and rebootyour Firewall.
NOTE
The default password of the “admin” user (super administrator) must be changed the very
first time the product is used. In the web administration interface, this password can be
changed in the Administrator module (System menu), under the Administrator account
tab.
The definition of this password must observe the best practices described in the User
Guide, in the section Welcome, sub-section User awareness, paragraph User passwordmanagement, available at: https://documentation.stormshield.eu

It is possible to restore the default factory settings of a Stormshield Network Firewall. This
operation will bring the product back to its initial configuration. This reinitialization does not
modify the firmware version and only affects the active partition.
WARNING
Resetting a Firewall will completely remove the configuration made on the product. This
operation is irreversible, so do not apply this procedure unless absolutely needed. You are
therefore advised to make a prior backup.
WARNING
You must not unplug the product while is it reinitializing.
After a few minutes the initial settings will be recovered and the Firewallwill reboot. This reset
operation may take up to 10 minutes, so do wait until the end of the reboot procedure before

For models equipped with a hard disk or SSD, the log storage service is enabled by default,
except on SNi4O models. To enable it, please refer to the section Enable log storage below.
On SN160, SN160W, SN210, SN210W and SN310 models, you can subscribe to the External
storage option allowing you to store logs externally on an SD card.
External storage option - storing logs externally on an SD card
NOTE
Storing logs on an external medium can only be done on an SD card. This service is not
compatible with other media such as a USB key or an external hard disk.
The recommended type of SD card is at least Class 10 (C10) UHS Class 1 (U1) or App Performance
1 (A1),SDHC standard. The memory card must be in a full-size physical SD format, in SDHC or
SDXC standard. Only adapters provided with the card must be used. The maximum memory size
supported is 2 TB.
Stormshield recommends the use of high-endurance/industrial cards or preferably, those that
have a built-in MLC flash chip developed by major brands (e.g., SanDisk, Western Digital,
Innodisk, Transcend, etc.) and with at least 32 GB of memory.
Insert the SD card, as described in the diagram to
the right, with the connector facing downwards.
When you insert the SD card for the first time, the
Hardware component (widget) on the Dashboard
will display the following information:
You willthen need to enable and format the SD card - please referto the following section.
Enable log storage
To enable the service, go to the Notifications menu, then to the Logs – Syslog module. In the
Local storage tab, select the Enable log storage option.
If you wish to save logs on an SD card, hard disk or SSD, select Enable log storage, then select
your medium from the list of storage media. A message willprompt you to format it.
After this operation, your SD card, hard disk or SSD will be ready to receive all logs.
Loading the SD card
IMPORTANT
Before ejecting the SD card fromthe drive (to change media, for example), you must first
shut down the service by unselecting the option to enable log storage, in the Logs - Syslog
module.
To eject the SD card, press lightly and horizontally on it, then let go.
Log consultation
These logs can be read in the SN Activity Reports web interface in the form of reports.
In SN Activity Reports, 5 reports are enabled by default. The number of reports enabled can be
increased on models that are equipped with hard disks or an SSD or with the help of an SD card
with the “External storage” option.
Referto the User Manual, under the Reports section, at: https://documentation.stormshield.eu
An SSD is installed by default on the SN2100 model. A second SSD can be added to it by
subscribing to the RAID option (RAID1).
By default on SN3100 and SN6100 models, both SSDs are installed in RAID (RAID 1). Both of
these SSDs are also hot-swappable.
NOTE
On SN2100 models without the RAID option, the replacement of the SSD would cause logs
and static reports saved on the log partition to be lost, as well as data memorized using the
HTTP Cache option if it has been enabled.
Detecting issues
The SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology system)status of SSDs may be
monitored. SMART technology monitors and informs about the status of certain reliability
indicators such as the temperature, number of sectors allocated, errors while locating sectors, etc.
It therefore helps to anticipate failures.
On SN910, SN2100 and SNi40 models without the RAID option, the SMART status of the SSD is
availablein the Hardware section of the Hardware widget.
On SN2100, SN3100 and SN6100 models with the RAID option, the RAID section in the Hardware
widget informs you about the SMART status of the SSDs, as well as the RAID status.
You may also log on to the appliance in console mode or via an SSH connection and obtain the
information with the following commands:
l SMART status of the SSDs: smartinfo
l If SSDs are installed in RAID: nraid -s
If an issue arises with the log partition, report it using the Properties widget either in console mode
or via an SSH connection, using the command: logdisk –c, the partition can be rebuilt using
the following command: logdisk –f
IMPORTANT
This command permanently erases data saved earlier on the log partition.
If the SMART status of an SSD shows errors, or if rebuilding your log partition fails, you can contact
your certified partner to replace your SSD.
Replacing an SSD
Depending on the model, the respective procedures are as follows:
l SN2100, without RAID option:
This procedure is to be carried out on an appliance that has been powered off. To remove the SSD,
unlock the rack with the lever, then pull out the canister with the defective SSD. Insert the new
canister with the replacement SSD obtained from your partner, until you hear a click. Once you
have inserted the new SSD, it will be detected the next timeyou start the appliance.
l SN2100 with RAID option, SN3100 and SN6100 (SSD in RAID 1):
This procedure is to be carried out on an appliance that is running. To remove the SSD, unlock the
rack with the lever, then pull out the canisterwith the defective SSD. Insert the new canister with
the replacement SSD obtained from your partner, until you hear a click. Once you have inserted
the new SSD, type the following command to scan this new SSD: nraid –z.
Next, type the command to rebuild the RAID: nraid -r
RAID option (SN2100)
On the SN2100 model, the RAID option can be subscribed in order to add a second SSD and build
a RAID1 on it.
This procedure is to be carried out on an appliance that is running:
l In console mode, type the following command to build the RAID: nraid -c
l Unlock the rack with the lever, then pull out the empty canister (lower canister, LEDs off).
Insert the new canister with the optional SSD obtained fromyour partner, until you hear a
click.
l Once you have inserted the new SSD, type the following command to scan this new SSD:
nraid –z
l Then type the following command in order to replicate the data on the RAID: nraid -r
Big Data option (SN2100, SN3100 and SN6100)
If you have subscribed the Big Data option(available on SN2100, SN3100 and SN61000
models), the originalSSDs will be replaced with SSDs of greater capacity.
After you have shut down the appliance, you will be able to extract the SSDs. Unlock the rack with
the levers, then pull out both SSD canisters. Insert the new canisters with the replacement SSDs
obtained from your partner, until you hear a click. They will be detected the next timeyou start
the appliance.
