Security Policies for Tenant Systems
Security policies can be configured with tenant systems. For more information see the following topics:
Understanding Security Policies for Tenant Systems
Security policies enforce rules for what traffic can pass through the firewall and actions that need to take place on the traffic as it passes through the firewall. Through the creation of security policies, the administrator for the tenant system can control the traffic flow from zone to zone by defining the kinds of traffic permitted to pass from sources to destinations. From the perspective of the security policies, traffic enters one security zone and exits through another security zone. By default, the tenant system denies all traffic in all directions, including intra-zone and inter-zone directions.
Starting in Junos OS Release 18.3R1, the security policies feature supported on logical systems is now extended to tenant systems.
Security policies can be configured in the tenant systems. Tenant
security policies are configured the same way as logical system security
policies and firewall-wide security policies.
Any security policies, policy rules, address books, applications and
application sets, and schedulers created within a tenant system are
only applicable to that tenant system. Only predefined applications
and application sets, such as junos-ftp, are shared between
the tenant systems.
The administrator for the tenant system can configure and view all attributes for security policies in a tenant system.
Starting in Junos OS Release 18.4R1, the tenant system administrator
can create dynamic address within a tenant system. A dynamic address
entry contains IP addresses and prefixes extracted from external sources.
The security policies use the dynamic address in the source-address
field or destination-address field. You can view the dynamic-address
information including the name, feeds, and properties for tenant systems
by using the command show security dynamic-address.
A dynamic address entry (DAE) is a group of IP addresses that can be entered manually or imported from external sources within tenant systems. The DAE feature allows feed-based IP objects to be used in security policies to either deny or allow traffic based on either source or destination IP criteria.
The maximum number of DAE for a given tenant system equals the system-wide scaling number. Furthermore, the sum of DAE for all the tenant systems must be less than or equal to the system-wide scaling number for DAE. If one tenant system uses maximum number of IP entries, other tenant system will fail to get IP entries into their DAE.
Starting in Junos 18.4R1, the set security dynamic-address
feed-server command can be configured under the tenant systems.
Application Timeouts
The application timeout value set for an application determines the session timeout. Application timeout behavior is the same for a tenant system as it is at the root level. Although the administrators of the tenant system can use predefined applications in security policies, the administrators cannot modify the timeout value for these predefined applications. Application timeout values are stored in the application entry database and in the corresponding tenant system TCP and UDP port-based timeout tables.
Security Policy Allocation
The primary administrator creates a security profile
to allocate the maximum number of policies that can be configured
for each tenant system. The administrator of the tenant system is
then restricted by the security profile to create no more than the
number of policies described in the security profile. The administrator
of the tenant system use the show system security-profile policy command to view the number of security policies allocated to the
tenant system.
user@host> show system security-profile policy
logical-system tenant name security profile name usage reserved maximum root-logical-system Default-Profile 1 0 16000
Example: Configuring Security Policies in the Tenant System
This example shows how to configure the security policies for the tenant system.
Requirements
Before you begin the configuration:
Configure zones. See Example: Configuring Security Zones in the Tenant System.
Use the
show system security-profiles policycommand to see the security policy resources allocated to the tenant system.
Overview
In this example, you can configure a security policy for the
tenant system. The administrator for the tenant system user can use [edit tenants tenant-name security policies] hierarchy level
to configure the security policies. This example configures the security
policies described in Table 1.

Procedure
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the
following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks,
change any details necessary to match your network configuration,
copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy
level, and then enter commit from configuration mode.
set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy p1 match source-address any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy p1 match destination-address any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy p1 match application any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy p1 then permit set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy p2 match source-address any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy p2 match destination-address any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy p2 match application any set tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust policy p2 then permit
Step-by-Step Procedure
The following example requires you to navigate various levels in the configuration hierarchy. For instructions on how to do that, see Using the CLI Editor in Configuration Mode in the Junos OS CLI User Guide.
To configure the security policies in the tenant system:
Log in to the tenant system and define the tenant system name as TSYS1.
[edit] user@host# set tenants TSYS1
Create a security policy as p1 that permits traffic from zone trust to zone untrust and configure the match condition.
[edit tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust] user@host# set policy p1 match source-address any user@host# set policy p1 match destination-address any user@host# set policy p1 match application any user@host# set policy p1 then permit
Create a security policy as p2 that permits traffic from zone untrust to zone trust and configure the match condition.
[edit tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone untrust to-zone trust] user@host# set policy p2 match source-address any user@host# set policy p2 match destination-address any user@host# set policy p2 match application any user@host# set policy p2 then permit
Results
From configuration mode, confirm your configuration
by entering the show tenants tenant-name security policies command. If the output does not display the intended configuration,
repeat the configuration instructions in this example to correct it.
user@host# show tenants TSYS1 security policies
from-zone trust to-zone untrust {
policy p1 {
match {
source-address any;
destination-address any;
application any;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
}
from-zone untrust to-zone trust {
policy p2 {
match {
source-address any;
destination-address any;
application any;
}
then {
permit;
}
}
}
Verification
Verifying Policy Configuration
Purpose
Verify the information about security policies.
Action
To verify the configuration is working properly, enter
the show security policies detail tenant TSYS1 command
from operational mode.
user@host> show security policies detail tenant TSYS1

Meaning
The output displays the information about the security policies configured on the tenant system.
Configuring Dynamic Address for Tenant Systems
A dynamic address entry in the tenant system provides dynamic IP address information to security policies. To use dynamic address, you must specify basic information of dynamic address including their names, feeds and properties for a tenant system.
Read the Example: Configuring Security Policies in the Tenant System to understand how and where this procedure fits in the overall tenant support for security policy.
To configure the dynamic address in IPv4 networks within a tenant system:
To configure the security policies in the tenant system:
Define the tenant system name as TSYS1.
[edit] user@host# set tenants TSYS1
Create a security policy as p1 that permits traffic from zone trust to zone untrust and configure the match condition.
[edit tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust] user@host# set policy p1 match source-address any user@host# set policy p1 match destination-address any user@host# set policy p1 match application any user@host# set policy p1 then permit
Confirm your configuration by entering the
show tenants tenant-name security policiescommand[edit] user@host# show tenants TSYS1 security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust { policy p1 { match { source-address any; destination-address any; application any; } then { permit; } } }
