Overview
Welcome to Cyberoam’s on-Cloud Management Service guide.

Cyberoam’s on-Cloud Management service (CCMS) is a cloud-based management service for


Cyberoam Network Security Appliances. It allows you to configure and manage multiple Cyberoam
Network Security Appliances across various geographical locations without the need of additional
hardware or software overheads.

Intended audience of this guide are partners who want to become MSSP using Cyberoam’s on-Cloud
Management Service and the customers who want their Cyberoam Network Security Appliance to be
managed by Cyberoam enabled MSSPs.

CCMS provide centralized security management across distributed Cyberoam Network Security
Appliances, enabling high levels of security for MSSPs and large enterprises. With Layer 8 Identity-
based policies and centralized reports and alerts, CCMS provides granular security and visibility into
remote and branch offices across the globe.

managed Cyberoam appliances at a single glance.
Click given on the button bar. These graphs display top 20 (twenty) appliances with highest
number of security, resource and license alerts. These graphs are refreshed in interval of 5 minutes.

Log out procedure


To avoid un-authorized users from accessing Cyberoam’s on-Cloud Management Service, log off
after you have finished working. This will end the session and exit from CCMS.

Navigating through Web Admin console


The three parts of the Web Admin Console:
 Main Menu tree
 Content Pane
 Button bar

Use the menus, lists, and configuration pages to configure most settings. Configuration made through
Web Admin Console take effect after some time as it takes time to copy the entire configuration on to
the appliance.

Main Menu
On the left side of the Web Admin Console is a tree, which allows navigation to the various
functionalities.

The Main menu consists of two menu items: Policy Configuration and Management Console. Policy
Configuration menu tree allows you to navigate through pages through which you can manage
appliances while Management console menu tree allows you to navigate through pages through
which you can manage CCMS itself.

On clicking menu item, related management functions are displayed as submenu items in the menu
tree itself. On clicking submenu item, all the associated tabs are displayed as the horizontal menu bar
on the top of the page. To view page associated with the tab, click the required tab.

39 OF 123
The Main menu tree expands and contracts dynamically when clicked on without navigating to a
submenu. When you click on a top-level heading, it automatically expands that heading and contracts
the heading for the current page. To navigate to a new page, first click on the heading, and then click
on the submenu you want navigate to. Breadcrumbs on the top of the Content Pane displays the

better visibility and permits enforcement of global policies for security features like Firewall, VPN,
Intrusion Prevention System, Application filter, Anti-spam and Anti-virus on them. It also allows the
administrator to create and implement multiple QoS policies to stop bandwidth abuse in organization
to ensure productivity of the employees.

As soon as appliances are added to CCMS, CCMS connects to the Appliance and starts
synchronization process and the status of the appliance changes to . In the synchronization
process, CCMS updates its local copy as per the information provided by the Appliance. Once the
synchronization is successful, status changes to . CCMS maintains the mirror or duplicate copy of
the Appliance configuration. However, the appliance copy is always considered as the master copy. If
due to any reason, synchronization process fails, appliance status changes to .

Once the appliances is added and synchronized, appliance sends the information like appliance
health, network information, various attacks and threats identified by the appliance to CCMS through
heartbeat at the regular interval.

Policy Configuration has following management tabs:


 Appliance Group : To view and manage added appliances based on firmware, models etc
 Template: To create and export various configuration templates on selected appliance(s) or
appliance group(s)
 Policy : To create and enforce various policies on selected appliance(s)

Change Control
Change Control Change Control page allows the administrator to view and manage list of revisions for
the managed appliances. Revisions are the configuration changes synchronized by CCMS and stored
in CCMS repository. Each revision has a unique Change List ID. Additionally, Export Configuration
can be used to export configuration and the change list of appliances or appliance groups.

Change Control
Change Control page allows the administrator to view and manage list of revisions for the
managed appliances. Revisions are the configuration changes synchronized by CCMS and stored
in CCMS repository. Each revision has a unique Changed List ID.

This page also allows the administrator to view list of affected configuration settings, compare
different versions of configurations and roll back to previous configurations.

Given below is the description of Policy Version Control terminology for your understanding:
 Revision – Number of changes made to an entity (an entity can be an object, policy, rule etc.)
 Change List – Operation ID which results into revision of one or more entities. For example,
Change List 10009 results into Revision 6 of Entity A and Revision 2 of Entity B.
 System Snapshot – Entire configuration which is considered as base version.

Please note that:


 System Snapshots are automatically generated in following cases:
o If the managed appliance is in unsynchronized state and any configuration change is
pending, CCMS tries to synchronize the appliance and generates System Snapshot
o After a factory reset

79 OF 123
o After a firmware upgrade
Alternatively, the administrator can take system snapshot(s) manually.
 There can be maximum three snapshots for an appliance.
 Configuration roll back is possible up to the last snapshot only.
 If an appliance is no longer managed by CCMS, the revision history for the appliance will
remain in CCMS until not purged manually.

This page in CCMS is named as Change Control and allows the administrator to
 view change list of affected configuration settings
 view details of configuration changes
 compare different versions of configurations
 take configuration snapshot
 restore system configuration snapshot
 roll back to previous configuration

Group Level Configuration - Dynamic Objects


Dynamic objects – Host, Zone, Interface and Gateway are the network objects whose configurations
vary from one Cyberoam appliance to another. Administrator can configure these objects in CCMS
and map them to individual appliances. Administrator can use these objects while creating Firewall
rule and various policies.

All of the dynamic objects are created using a similar method - create object and then specify the
dynamic object-appliance mappings.

With dynamic objects, configuration of common objects like mail server, radius servers becomes easy
as they need to be configured only once and then can be mapped.

 Host
 Zone
 Interface
 Gateway

Host
Host is a logical building block used in defining firewall rules, virtual host and NAT policy. By default,
the number of hosts equal to the ports in the Cyberoam appliance are already created.

Host represents various types of addresses, including IP addresses, networks and Ethernet MAC
addresses.
Hosts allow entities to be defined once and then be re-used in multiple referential instances
throughout the configuration. For example, an internal Mail Server with an IP address as
192.168.1.15. Rather than repeated use of the IP address while constructing firewall rules or NAT
Policies, it allows creating a single entity called “Internal Mail Server” as a Host name with an IP
address as 192.168.1.15. This host, “Internal Mail Server” can then be easily selected in any
configuration screen that uses Hosts as a defining criterion.

By using hosts instead of numerical addresses, you only need to make changes in a single location,
rather than in each configuration where the IP address appears. Using Hosts reduces the error of

86 OF 123
entering incorrect IP addresses, makes it easier to change addresses and increases readability.

Go to Management Console > Appliance Management > Dynamic Objects > Host
to:
 Add
 View
 Edit – Click the Edit icon in the Manage column against the Host to be modified. Edit Host
pop-up window is displayed which has the same parameters as the Add Host window.

 Search – Click the Search icon in the Address Detail column to search for specific IP
address. IP address can be searched on the following criteria: is equal to, starts with and
contains. Click OK to get the search results and Clear button to clear the results.

Search Criteria Search Results

is All the appliance names that exactly match with the


string specified in the criteria.

For example, if the search string is “CRmailserver”,


only that host will be displayed whose name exactly
matches with the search string - “CRmailserver”.

is not All the appliances that do not match with the string
specified in the criteria.

For example, if the search string is “CRmailserver”,


all the hosts except with the appliance whose name
exactly matches with the search string -
“CRmailserver”.

contains All the appliances that contain the string specified in


the criteria.

For example, if the search string is “CRmailserver”,


all the hosts containing the string “CRmailserver” are
displayed.

box is displayed asking you to confirm the deletion. Click OK to delete the Host. To delete

Zone
A Zone is a logical grouping of ports/physical interfaces and/or virtual subinterfaces if defined.

Zones provide a flexible layer of security for the firewall. With the zone-based security, the
administrator can group similar ports and apply the same policies to them, instead of having to write
the same policy for each interface.

Default Zone Types

LAN – Depending on the appliance in use and network design, one can group one to six physical
ports in this zone. Group multiple interfaces with different network subnets to manage them as a
single entity. Group all the LAN networks under this zone.

By default the traffic to and from this zone is blocked and hence the highest secured zone. However,
traffic between ports belonging to the same zone will be allowed.

DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) - This zone is normally used for publicly accessible servers. Depending on
the appliance in use and network design, one can group one to five physical ports in this zone.

WAN - This zone is used for Internet services. It can also be referred as Internet zone.

VPN - This zone is used for simplifying secure, remote connectivity. It is the only zone that does not
have an assigned physical port/interface. Whenever the VPN connection is established, port/interface

89 OF 123
used by the connection is automatically added to this zone and on disconnection; port is automatically
removed from the zone. Like all other default zones, scanning and access policies can be applied on
the traffic for this zone.

Local – Entire set of physical ports available on your appliance including their configured aliases are
grouped in LOCAL zone. In other words, IP addresses assigned to all the ports fall under the LOCAL
zone.

To manage zones, go to Management Console > Appliance Management > Dynamic


Objects > Zone. You can:

Gateway
Cyberoam supports multiple gateways to cope with gateway failure problems. However, simply adding
one more gateway is not an end to the problem. Optimal utilization of all the gateways is also
necessary. Cyberoam Multi Link Manger provides link failure protection by detecting the dead
gateway and switching over to the active link and provides a mechanism to balance traffic between
various links.

You can configure:
 System
 Objects
 Network
 Identity
 Firewall
 VPN
 IPS
 Web Filter
 Application Filter
 WAF

 QoS

95 OF 123
 Anti Virus
 Anti Spam
 Logs and Reports

System
System allows configuration and administration of Cyberoam appliance for secure and remote
management as well as administrative privilege that you can assign to admin users. It also provides
the basic system settings and language settings of the Web Admin console. Configure several non-
network features, such as SNMP, custom messages and portal setting through System.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Objects
Objects are the logical building blocks of various policies and rules, which include:
 Host – IP, network and MAC addresses. They are used in defining firewall rules, virtual host,
NAT policy, IPSec, L2TP and VPN policies
 Services which represent specific protocol and port combination for example, DNS service for
TCP protocol on 53 port. Access to services are allowed or denied through firewall rules.
 Schedule to control when the firewall rule, Access time policy, Web filter policy, Application filter
policy, or QoS policy will be in effect for example, All Days, Work Hours
 File types – defining web filter policy, SMTP scanning rules

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Network
Network establishes how Cyberoam connects and interacts with your network and allows configuring
network specific settings.

Basic network settings include configuring Cyberoam interfaces and DNS settings. It also describes
how to use DHCP to provide convenient automatic network configuration for your clients.

This menu covers how to configure your Cyberoam to operate in your network. Basic network settings
include configuring Cyberoam interfaces and DNS settings. More advanced configuration includes
adding VLAN subinterfaces and custom zones to the Cyberoam network configuration. It also
describes how to use DHCP to provide convenient automatic network configuration for your clients.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Identity
Once you have deployed Cyberoam, default access policy is automatically applied which will allow
complete network traffic to pass through Cyberoam. This will allow you to monitor user activity in your
Network based on default policy.

As Cyberoam monitors and logs user activity based on IP address, all the reports are also generated
based on IP address. To monitor and log user activities based on User names or logon names, you
have to configure Cyberoam for integrating user information and authentication process. Integration
will identify access request based on User names and generate reports based on Usernames.

When the user attempts to access Cyberoam, Cyberoam requests a user name and password and
authenticates the user’s credentials before giving access. User level authentication can be performed

96 OF 123
using the local user database on the Cyberoam, an External ADS server, LDAP or RADIUS server.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Firewall
A firewall protects the network from unauthorized access and typically guards the LAN and DMZ
networks against malicious access; however, firewalls may also be configured to limit the access to
harmful sites for LAN users.

The responsibility of firewall is to grant access from Internet to DMZ or Service Network according to
the Rules and Policies configured. It also keeps watch on state of connection and denies any traffic
that is out of connection state.

Firewall rule provides centralized management of security policies. From a single firewall rule, you can
define and manage entire set of Cyberoam security policies.

From the firewall rule, you can:


 Monitor and scan VPN traffic
 Define inbound and outbound access based on source and destination hosts/network
 Enable scanning for HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3 or IMAP traffic - for email spam filtering
and virus security and also get spyware, malware and phishing protection. To apply antivirus
protection and spam filtering, you need to subscribe for Gateway Anti Virus and Gateway Anti
Spam modules individually.
 Define IPS policy - for protection against threats and attacks originating from external world and
internal network. To apply IPS policy you need to subscribe for Intrusion Prevention System
module..
 Attach Gateway routing policy - for loading balancing and gateway failover protection incase of
multiple gateways
 Define Web filtering policy - for web access control and block access to inappropriate web
sites. To control access based on custom web categories, you need to subscribe for Web and
Application Filter module..
 Define Applications filtering policy – for controlling access to application like IM and P2P, VOIP.
To control access based on custom web categories, you need to subscribe for Web and
Application Filter module.
 Schedule access
 Attach QoS policy - to control and schedule bandwidth usage per user, group or prioritize
bandwidth usage for particular application.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

VPN
Cyberoam VPN automatically encrypts the data and sends it to the remote site over the Internet,
where it is automatically decrypted and forwarded to the intended destination. By encrypting, the
integrity and confidentiality of data is protected even when transmitted over the untrusted public
network. Cyberoam uses IPSec standard i.e. IPSec protocol to protect traffic. In IPSec, the identity of
communicating users is checked with the user authentication based on digital certificates, public keys
or preshared keys.
Cyberoam ensures that all the VPN traffic passing through the VPN tunnels is threat free. All the
firewall rules and policies are applicable to the traffic going into the VPN tunnels and coming out of
the VPN tunnels. Cyberoam inspects all the traffic going into the VPN tunnels and coming out of the
tunnels and makes sure that there are no viruses, worms, spam, and inappropriate content or
intrusion attempts in the VPN traffic. As VPN traffic is, by default subjected to the DoS
inspection,Cyberoam provides a facility by which one can bypass scanning of traffic coming from

97 OF 123
certain hosts from VPN zone. The above functionality is achieved by adding one additional zone
called VPN zone. VPN traffic passes through VPN zone and firewall rule can be applied to VPN zone.

Cyberoam can be used to establish VPN connection between sites, LAN-to-LAN and Client-to-LAN
connection. VPN is the bridge between Local & Remote networks/subnets.
Cyberoam supports following protocols to authenticate and encrypt traffic:
 Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)
 Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
 Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

Please refer to Cyberoam VPN Management Guide for further details.

IPS
Cyberoam IPS uses Signatures to identify the malicious activity on the network but instead of
providing only one policy (global) for managing multiple networks/hosts, allows to tailor the policy per
network/host i.e. allows to defining multiple policies for managing multiple networks/hosts.

Cyberoam IPS consists of a signature engine with a predefined database of signatures. Predefined
signatures are not editable.
As per your network requirements, Cyberoam allows you to define multiple policies instead of one
global policy, to decrease packet latency and reduce false positives.

Policy allows you to view Cyberoam predefined signatures and customize the intrusion prevention
configuration at the category as well as individual signature level. Categories are signatures grouped
together based on the application and protocol vulnerabilities.

Each IPS policy contains a set of signatures that the Cyberoam searches for, and log and block and
allows to:
 Enable or disable category from IPS protection
 Enable or disable individual signature in a category to tailor IPS protection based on your
 network environment
 Define the action to be taken when the matching traffic pattern is found. Cyberoam can
 either detect or drop the connection. In either of the case, Cyberoam generates the log and
alerts the Network Administrator.

To enable the Intrusion Prevention System functionality, apply the policy using firewall rule. You can
create rule to apply:
 Single policy for all the user/networks
 Different policies for different users/networks or hosts

As firewall rules control all traffic passing through the Cyberoam and decide whether to allow or drop
the connection, IPS policy will be applied to only that traffic/packet which firewall passes.

Please refer to Cyberoam IPS Implementation Guide for further details.

Web Filter
Web Filter menu allows to configure and manage Web Filtering in Cyberoam. The traffic coming from
the web is filtered by various policies and categories.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

98 OF 123
Application Filter
Application Filter menu in Cyberoam allows configuring and managing filtering on various
applications. The traffic coming from the web is filtered by various policies and categories.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

WAF
A WAF (Web Application Firewall) protects applications accessed via HTTP and HTTPS against the
attacks on Web server at the application layer.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

IM
IM (Instant Messaging) allows configuring and managing restrictions on instant messaging services
provided by the Yahoo and MSN messengers. The traffic coming from the web in form of files and
chat is filtered by various rules and content filtering strategies. You can add an IM contact or IM
contact group for configuring rules.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

QoS
Bandwidth is the amount of data passing through a media over a period of time and is measured in
terms of kilobytes per second (kbps) or kilobits per second (kbits) (1 Byte = 8 bits).

The primary objective of QoS (Quality of Service) policy is to manage and distribute total bandwidth
on certain parameters and user attributes. QoS policy allocates & limits the maximum bandwidth
usage of the user and controls web and network traffic.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Anti Virus
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Virus provides you with powerful tools for scanning and detecting infection
and spam in the incoming e-mail traffic. For detecting virus, Cyberoam uses its built-in signature
database.
Cyberoam Anti Virus scans the following traffic as it passes through the Cyberoam:
 HTTP
 HTTPS
 FTP
 SMTP
 POP3
 IMAP

For extra protection, you can configure to block specified file types from passing through the
Cyberoam. You can use this feature to stop files that might contain new viruses. Additional filtration of
messages from configured IP address and URL decreases the load on the server when scanning
email traffic for viruses.

Cyberoam Anti Virus allows to:


 Scan email messages for viruses
 Detect infected, suspicious, and password-protected attachments and message

99 OF 123
 Stop users from sending/receiving messages with any type of attachments
 Perform anti-virus processing of infection revealed in email messages by scanning
 Define policies to take appropriate action based on the protocol i.e. define action policy on how
to handle for SMTP, POP3, FTP traffic and HTTP and HTTPS traffic if infection is detected
 Limit HTTP and FTP download file size
 Notify senders, recipients, and the administrator about messages containing infected,
suspicious, or password-protected attachments
 Quarantine messages - Quarantine feature allows to isolate and move infected and suspicious
mails in a quarantine directory defined by a network administrator.
 Customize the anti virus protection of incoming and outgoing e-mail messages by defining scan
policies.
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Virus is fully compatible with all the mail systems and therefore can be easily
integrated into the existing network.

Please refer to Cyberoam Anti Virus Implementation Guide for further details.

Anti Spam
Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam provides a powerful tool for scanning and detecting infection.
Cyberoam Anti Spam as a part of unified solution along with Anti Virus and IPS (Intrusion Prevention
System), provides real time virus scanning that protects all network nodes – workstations, files
servers, mail system from known and unknown attacks by worms and viruses,
Trojans, spyware, adware, spam, hackers and all other cyber threats.

Cyberoam detects spam mails based on:


 RBL (Realtime Blackhole List)
 Mass distribution pattern using RPD (Recurrent Pattern Detection) technology for which
Gateway Anti Spam module subscription is required. RPD technology responsible for
proactively probing the Internet to gather information about massive spam outbreaks from the
time they are launched. This technology is used to identify recurrent patterns that characterize
massive spam outbreaks.

Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam provides powerful tools for scanning and detecting spam in the
incoming e-mail traffic. Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam inspects all incoming emails - SMTP, POP3
and IMAP traffic - before the messages are delivered to the receiver's mailbox. If spam is detected,
depending on the policy and rules set, emails are processed and delivered to the recipient unaltered,
reject and generate a notification on the message rejection, add or change subject or change the
receiver.

Cyberoam Gateway Anti Spam is fully compatible with all the mail systems and therefore can be
easily integrated into the existing network.

Cyberoam Anti Spam allows to:


 Scan email messages for spamming by protocols namely SMTP, POP3, IMAP
 Monitor and proactively detect recurrent patterns in spam mails and combat multi-format –text,
images, HTML etc. and multi-language threats
 Monitor mails received from Domain/IP address
 Detect spam mails using RBLs. If Anti Spam module is not subscribed, Cyberoam will detect
spam mails based on RBL only and not on recurrent patterns in mails.
 Accept/Reject messages based on message size and message header
 Customize protection of incoming and outgoing e-mail messages by defining scan policies
 Set different actions for SMTP, POP and IMAP spam mails

100 OF 123
 Configure action for individual email address
 Notify receivers about spam messages

Please refer to Cyberoam Anti Spam Implementation Guide for further details.

Logs & Reports


Cyberoam provides extensive logging capabilities for traffic, system and network protection functions.
Detailed log information and reports provide historical as well as current analysis of network activity to
help identify security issues and reduce network abuse.

Cyberoam can either store logs locally or send logs to external syslog servers for storage and archival
purposes.

Cyberoam can log many different network activities and traffic including:
 Firewall log
 Anti-virus infection and blocking
 Web filtering, URL and HTTP content blocking
 Signature and anomaly attack and prevention
 Spam filtering
 IM logs
 Administrator logs
 User Authentication logs

Cyberoam supports multiple syslog servers for remote logging. When configuring logging to a Syslog
server, one needs to configure the facility, severity and log file format. One can also specify logging
location if multiple syslog servers are defined.

Maximum five syslog servers can be defined from Logging page of Web Admin Console.

Cyberoam can either store logs locally or send to the syslog servers. Traffic Discovery logs can be
stored locally only.

Please refer to Cyberoam User Guide for further details.

Ping
Ping is the most common network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an
Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the
originating host to a destination computer.

102 OF 123
Ping sends ICMP echo request/replies to test connectivity to other hosts. Use standard ICMP ping to
confirm that the server is responding. Ping confirms that the server can respond to an ICMP ping
request.

Use Ping diagnostically to

Event Viewer
Audit and System logs are an important part of any secure system that provides an invaluable view
into the current and past state of almost any type of complex system, and they need to be carefully
designed in order to give a faithful representation of system activity.

They can identify what action was taken by whom and when. The existence of such logs can be used
to enforce correct user behavior, by holding users accountable for their actions as recorded in the
audit log.

They are the simplest, yet also one of the most effective forms of tracking temporal information. The
idea is that any time something significant happens you write some record indicating what happened
and when it happened.

Event Viewer

To view logs of any of the managed appliance, go to Management Console > Appliance
Monitoring > Event Viewer > Event Viewer, select log date and time, appliance and log
type and click Go. Page will display list of all archived logs for the selected appliance.
