WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.

Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary
to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security
concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to
an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only
when appropriate security measures (e.g. 󹪝rewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit
http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity)
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers’ exposure to cyber
threats.

Recommendations on network security 3
NOTICE
Information security
Connect to the device and change the standard password for the user set in the factory "admin"
and "" before you operate the device.
To prevent unauthorized access, note the following security recommendations.
General
• You should make regular checks to make sure that the device meets these recommendations
and/or other security guidelines.
• Evaluate your plant as a whole in terms of security. Use a cell protection concept with suitable
products (https://www.industry.siemens.com/topics/global/en/industrial-security/pages/
default.aspx).
• When the internal and external network are disconnected, an attacker cannot access internal
data from the outside. Therefore operate the device only within a protected network area.
• For communication via non-secure networks use additional devices with VPN functionality to
encrypt and authenticate the communication.
• No product liability will be accepted for operation in a non-secure infrastructure.
• Terminate management connections correctly (WBM. Telnet, SSH etc.).
Physical access
• Restrict physical access to the device to quali󹪝ed personnel.
• Lock unused physical ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to gain forbidden access
to the plant.
Software (security functions)
• Keep the 󹪝rmware up to date. Check regularly for security updates for the device. You can
󹪝nd information on this at the Industrial Security (https://www.siemens.com/
industrialsecurity) website.
• Inform yourself regularly about security recommendations published by Siemens
ProductCERT (https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm).
• Only activate protocols that you require to use the device.
• Restrict access to the management of the device with rules in an access control list (ACL).
SCALANCE XR-300WG
Operating Instructions, 03/2021, C79000-G8976-C454-07 11

• The option of VLAN structuring provides protection against DoS attacks and unauthorized
access. Check whether this is practical or useful in your environment.
• Use a central logging server to log changes and accesses. Operate your logging server within
the protected network area and check the logging information regularly.
Passwords
•De󹪝ne rules for the assignment of passwords.
• Regularly change your passwords to increase security.
• Use passwords with a high password strength.
• Make sure that all passwords are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
• A password must be changed if it is known or suspected to be known by unauthorized
persons.
• Do not use the same password for di󹪜erent users and systems.
Certi󹪝cates and keys
• The device contains a pre-installed certi󹪝cate with key. Replace this certi󹪝cate with a self-
made certi󹪝cate with key. We recommend that you use a certi󹪝cate signed either by a reliable
external or by an internal certi󹪝cation authority. You can install the certi󹪝cate via the WBM
(System > Load and Save).
• Use the certi󹪝cation authority including key revocation and management to sign the
certi󹪝cates.
• Make sure that user-de󹪝ned private keys are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized
persons.
• Verify certi󹪝cates and 󹪝ngerprints on the server and client to prevent "man in the middle"
attacks.
• It is recommended that you use password-protected certi󹪝cates in the PKCS#12 format.
• It is recommended that you use certi󹪝cates with a key length of at least 2048 bits.
• Change keys and certi󹪝cates immediately if there is a suspicion of compromise.

SCALANCE XR-300WG
12 Operating Instructions, 03/2021, C79000-G8976-C454-07

Secure/non-secure protocols and services
• Avoid or disable non-secure protocols and services, for example HTTP, Telnet and TFTP. For
historical reasons, these protocols are available, however not intended for secure
applications. Use non-secure protocols on the device with caution.
• Check whether use of the following protocols and services is necessary:
– Non authenticated and unencrypted ports
– MRP, HRP
– IGMP snooping
– LLDP
– Syslog
– RADIUS
– DHCP Options 66/67
– TFTP
– GMRP and GVRP
• The following protocols provide secure alternatives:
– HTTP → HTTPS
– Telnet → SSH
– SNMPv1/v2c → SNMPv3
Check whether use of SNMPv1/v2c. is necessary. SNMPv1/v2c is classi󹪝ed as non-secure.
Use the option of preventing write access. The device provides you with suitable setting
options.
If SNMP is enabled, change the community names. If no unrestricted access is necessary,
restrict access with SNMP.
Use the authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3.
• Use secure protocols when access to the device is not prevented by physical protection
measures.
• If you require non-secure protocols and services, operate the device only within a protected
network area.
• Restrict the services and protocols available to the outside to a minimum.
• For the DCP function, enable the "Read Only" mode after commissioning.
• If you use RADIUS for management access to the device, activate secure protocols and
services.
Interfaces security
• Disable unused interfaces.
• Use IEEE 802.1X for interface authentication.
• Use the function "Locked Ports" to block interfaces for unknown nodes.
• Use the con󹪝guration options of the interfaces, e.g. the "Edge Type".
•Con󹪝gure the receive ports so that they discard all untagged frames ("Tagged Frames Only").
