SRG-APP-000357-NDM-000293
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.
To ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record st...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000374-NDM-000299
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Tim...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000378-NDM-000302
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to prohibit installation of software without explicit privileged status.
Allowing anyone to install software, without explicit privileges, creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. This requirement applies to code ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000380-NDM-000304
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to enforce access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration.
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restric...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to authenticate SNMP messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).
Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must use an an NTP service that is hosted by a trusted source or a DOD-compliant enterprise or local NTP server.
If a trusted time source is not used, an attacker can introduce a rogue NTP server. This rogue server can then be used to send incorrect time information to network devices, which will make log tim...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000400-NDM-000313
Group -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.
Some authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators. If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be quest...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330
Group -
The Juniper EX switches must be configured to use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.
Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be ...Rule High Severity

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
