Security recommendations 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.
3.1 Security recommendations

To prevent unauthorized access to the device and/or network, observe the following security
recommendations.
General
• Check the device regularly to ensure that these recommendations and/or other internal
security policies are complied with.
• Evaluate the security of your location and use a cell protection concept with suitable products
(https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
• 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.
• No product liability will be accepted for operation in a non-secure infrastructure.
• Use VPN to encrypt and authenticate communication from and to the devices.
• For data transmission via a non-secure network, use an encrypted VPN tunnel (IPsec,
OpenVPN).
• Separate connections correctly (WBM, SSH etc.).
• Check the user documentation of other Siemens products that are used together with the
device for additional security recommendations.
• Using remote logging, ensure that the system protocols are forwarded to a central logging
server. Make sure that the server is within the protected network and check the protocols
regularly for potential security violations or vulnerabilities.
SCALANCE XC-400
Security recommendations
Authentication
Note
Accessibility risk - Risk of data loss
Do not lose the passwords for the device. Access to the device can only be restored by resetting
the device to factory settings which completely removes all configuration data.
• Replace the default passwords for all user accounts, access modes and applications (if
applicable) before you use the device.
• Define rules for the assignment of passwords.
• Use passwords with a high password strength. Avoid weak passwords, (e.g. password1,
123456789, abcdefgh) or recurring characters (e.g. abcabc).
This recommendation also applies to symmetrical passwords/keys configured on the device.
• Make sure that passwords are protected and only disclosed to authorized personnel.
• Do not use the same passwords for multiple user names and systems.
• Store the passwords in a safe location (not online) to have them available if they are lost.
• Regularly change your passwords to increase security.
• A password must be changed if it is known or suspected to be known by unauthorized
persons.
• When user authentication is performed via RADIUS, make sure that all communication takes
place within the security environment or is protected by a secure channel.
• Watch out for link layer protocols that do not offer their own authentication between
endpoints, such as ARP or IPv4. An attacker could use vulnerabilities in these protocols to
attack hosts, switches and routers connected to your layer 2 network, for example, through
manipulation (poisoning) of the ARP caches of systems in the subnet and subsequent
interception of the data traffic. Appropriate security measures must be taken for non-secure
layer 2 protocols to prevent unauthorized access to the network. Physical access to the local
network can be secured or secure, higher layer protocols can be used, among other things.
Certificates and keys

• There is a preset SSL/TLS (RSA) certificate with 4096 bit key length in the device. Replace this
certificate with a user-generated, high-quality certificate with key. Use a certificate signed by
a reliable external or internal certification authority. You can install the certificate via the
WBM ("System > Load and Save").
• Use certificates with a key length of 4096 bits.
• Use the certification authority including key revocation and management to sign the
certificates.
• Make sure that user-defined private keys are protected and inaccessible to unauthorized
persons.
• If there is a suspected security violation, change all certificates and keys immediately.
• Use password-protected certificates in the format "PKCS #12".
SCALANCE XC-400
• Verify certificates based on the fingerprint on the server and client side to prevent "man in the
middle" attacks. Use a second, secure transmission path for this.
• Before sending the device to Siemens for repair, replace the current certificates and keys with
temporary disposable certificates and keys, which can be destroyed when the device is
returned.
Physical/remote access
• Operate the devices only within a protected network area. Attackers cannot access internal
data from the outside when the internal and the external network are separate from each
other.
• Limit physical access to the device exclusively to trusted personnel.
The memory card or the PLUG (C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG, CLP) contains sensitive data such as
certificates and keys that can be read out and modified. An attacker with control of the
device's removable media could extract critical information such as certificates, keys, etc. or
reprogram the media.
• Lock unused physical ports on the device. Unused ports can be used to gain forbidden access
to the plant.
• We highly recommend that you keep the protection from brute force attacks (BFA) activated
to prevent third parties from gaining access to the device. For more information, see the
configuration manuals, section "Brute Force Prevention (Page 8)".
• For communication via non-secure networks, use additional devices with VPN functionality
to encrypt and authenticate communication.
• When you establish a secure connection to a server (e.g. for an upgrade), make sure that
strong encryption methods and protocols are configured for the server.
• Terminate the management connections (e.g. HTTP, HTTPS, SSH) properly.
• Make sure that the device has been powered down completely before you decommission it.
For more information, refer to "Decommissioning (Page 10)".
• We recommend formatting a PLUG that is not being used.
Hardware / Software
• Use VLANs whenever possible as protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and
unauthorized access.
• Restrict access to the device by setting firewall rules or rules in an access control list (ACL).
• Selected services are enabled by default in the firmware. It is recommended to enable only
the services that are absolutely necessary for your installation.
For more information on available services, see "List of available services (Page 20)".
• To ensure you are using the most secure encryption methods available, use the latest web
browser version compatible with the product. Also, the latest web browser versions of
Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Microsoft Edge have 1/n-1 record splitting enabled,
which reduces the risk of attacks such as SSL/TLS Protocol Initialization Vector
Implementation Information Disclosure Vulnerability (for example, BEAST).
SCALANCE XC-400
• Ensure that the latest firmware version is installed, including all security-related patches.
You can find the latest information on security patches for Siemens products at the Industrial
Security (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity) or ProductCERT Security Advisories
(https://www.siemens.com/cert/en/cert-security-advisories.htm) website.
For updates on Siemens product security advisories, subscribe to the RSS feed on the
ProductCERT Security Advisories website or follow @ProductCert on Twitter.
• Enable only those services that are used on the device, including physical ports. Free physical
ports can potentially be used to gain access to the network behind the device.
• Use the authentication and encryption mechanisms of SNMPv3 if possible. Use strong
passwords.
• Configuration files can be downloaded from the device. Ensure that configuration files are
adequately protected.
Configuration files can be password protected during download. You enter passwords on the
WBM page "System > Load & Save > Passwords".
• When using SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol):
– Configure SNMP to generate a notification when authentication errors occur.
For more information, see WBM "System > SNMP > Notifications".
– Ensure that the default community strings are changed to unique values.
– Use SNMPv3 whenever possible. SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c are considered non-secure and
should only be used when absolutely necessary.
– If possible, prevent write access.
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 configuration options of the interfaces, e.g. the "Edge Type".
• Configure the receive ports so that they discard all untagged frames ("Tagged Frames Only").
SCALANCE XC-400
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
– HTTP
– Telnet
– SNMPv1/v2c
– NTP
– MRP, HRP, STP, RSTP and MSTP
– IGMP snooping
– LLDP
– DCP
– Syslog
– 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 classified 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.
– TFTP → SFTP
– NTP → NTPsecure
• 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.
• If you use RADIUS for management access to the device, activate secure protocols and
services.

The CLP slot is located on the top of the device.
Figure 4-7 Position of the CLP slot
SCALANCE XC-400
4.9.2 Function
Devices with a CLP slot support the following operating modes:
• Without CLP
The device saves the configuration data in the internal memory. This mode is active when no
CLP is inserted.
• With CLP
In the startup phase:
– When an CLP with no data (default setting) is plugged into a device, the device
automatically saves its configuration data on the CLP during the startup phase. After that,
it behaves like a CLP with data.
– If a CLP with data is plugged into a device, the device automatically adopts the
configuration of the CLP during the startup phase.
During operation:
– During operation, changes to the configuration are saved on the CLP and in the internal
memory.
– The configuration data of the device is stored in a secured memory area of the CLP. This
secured memory area can only be accessed via the authentication of the Siemens device.
– The device checks whether a CLP is inserted at one second intervals. If the device detects
that the CLP has been removed, it restarts automatically.
NOTICE
Operating risk - Danger of data loss
Only pull and plug the CLP when the device is de-energized.
– The device signals deviations from normal operation of the CLP (e.g. incompatible data,
incorrect operation or malfunctions) via the existing diagnostics mechanisms (e.g. LEDs
or user interfaces).
The procedure for pulling and plugging the PLUG can be found in the section "Replacing a CLP
(Page 67)".

CAUTION
Damage to the device due to overvoltage
The connector of the external power supply is not protected against strong electromagnetic
pulses that can, for example, result from lightning strikes or switching large loads.
One of the tests used to attest the immunity of the device to electromagnetic interference is the
"surge immunity test" according to EN 61000-4-5. This test requires overvoltage protection for
the power supply lines. A suitable device is, for example, the Dehn Blitzductor BVT AVD 24,
article number 918 422 or a comparable protective element.
Manufacturer: DEHN+SOEHNE GmbH+Co. KG, Hans-Dehn-Str.1, Postfach 1640, D92306
Neumarkt, Germany
Operate the device with suitable overvoltage protection.
Note
The device can be disconnected from the power supply by pulling off the terminal block.
Information on the power supply

• The "L1" and "L2" LEDs indicate the current range of the power supply, see the section "LEDs
"L1" and "L2" (Page 35)".
• You can use two 2-pin terminal blocks or one 4-pin terminal block (spring-loaded terminal)
to connect the power supply.
If you use two 2-pin terminal blocks, you can disconnect only the affected power supply from
the device to perform repairs.
Two 2-pin terminal blocks are included in the scope of delivery of the device. You can order
2- and 4-pin terminal blocks as spare parts, see section "Spare parts".
• The power supply can be connected redundantly. Both inputs are isolated. There is no
distribution of load. When a redundant power supply is used, the power supply unit with the
higher output voltage supplies the device alone.
• The power supply is connected over a high resistance with the enclosure to allow an
ungrounded set up. The two power inputs are non-floating.
• Note the wiring rules (Page 58).
• The power supply must meet the requirements in relation to RF radiation according to IEC
61000-4-3/NAMUR NE21 so that the overall system meets these requirements; see also "RF

EMC disturbances are diverted to ground via the functional ground. This ensures the immunity
of the data transmission.
The functional ground must be implemented with low impedance. The connection of the
functional ground must be established directly on the mounting plate or the DIN rail terminal.
The IE switch has a grounding screw (fillister head screw with clamping washer und disk) for
functional ground, refer to the section "Device views (Page 25)".

2. Put the grounding terminal and grounding screw together.
3. Tighten the grounding screw with a maximum torque of 0.75 Nm.
Protective/functional ground
The connection of the reference potential surface with the protective ground system is normally
in the cabinet close to the power feed-in. This ground conducts fault currents to ground safely
and according DIN/VDE 0100 is a protective ground to protect people, animals and property from
too high contact voltages.
Apart from the protective ground, there is functional grounding in the cabinet. According
to EN60204-1 (DIN/VDE 0113 T1) electrical circuits must be grounded. The chassis (0 V) is
grounded at one defined point. Here, once again the grounding is implemented with the
lowest leakage resistance to ground in the vicinity of the power feed-in.
With automation components, functional ground also ensures interference-free operation of
a controller. Via the functional ground, interference currents coupled in via the connecting
cables are discharged to ground.

MDI / MDI-X autocrossover

With the MPI/MDI-X autocrossover function, the send and receive contacts of an Ethernet port
are assigned automatically. The assignment depends on the cable with which the
communications partner is connected. This means that it does not matter whether the port is
connected using a patch cable or crossover cable. This prevents malfunctions resulting from
mismatching send and receive wires. This makes installation much easier for the user.
Note
Formation of loops
Please note that the direct connection of two ports on the IE switch or accidental connection
over several IE switches causes an illegal loop. Such a loop can lead to network overload and
network failures.
SCALANCE XC-400
Connecting up
Autonegotiation
Autonegotiation means the automatic detection/negotiation of the transmission rate and the
operating mode of ports at the opposite end. This makes it possible to configure different devices
automatically.
Two components connected to a link segment can exchange information about the transfer
and can adapt their settings to each other. The mode with the highest possible speed is set.
Note
• If a port is set permanently to full duplex, the connected partner port must also be set to full
duplex.
• If a port operating in the "Auto negotiation" mode is connected to a partner port that is not
operating in the"Auto negotiation" mode, the partner port setting must be fixed at 100 Mbps
or 10 Mbps half duplex mode.
• If you disable the "Auto negotiation" function, the "MDI/MDI-X autocrossover" function is also
turned off. Then use a crossover cable.
Fast Retrain
The devices support the Fast Retrain function in accordance with standard IEEE 802.3. The Fast
Retrain function ensures that no link interruptions occur in the case of electromagnetic
interferences (EMI) on the connection cable to the partner.
If a Fast Retrain event occurs, the device tries to reestablish the communication to the
partner device for a duration of up to 30 ms. Only if this is unsuccessful, is the link
disconnected.
During the Fast Retrain procedure no telegrams are transferred via the affected connection.
Note
The function is always enabled and cannot be deactivated.
The function is relevant only for 10 Gbps ports.
There are no Fast Retrain events for port speeds ≤ 1 Gbps.

To reset the device to the factory defaults during the startup phase, follow the steps below:
2. Now press the "SELECT/SET" button and reconnect the power to the device while holding
down the button.
3. Hold down the button until the red error LED F stops flashing and is permanently lit.
4. Now release the button and wait until the fault LED F goes off again.
5. The device starts automatically with the factory defaults.
8.2 Resetting the device to default settings with the button (during
operation)
NOTICE
Connection hazard - risk of communication failure
Depending on the configuration of your network, a reset device can cause circular frames and
thus the loss of data traffic.
NOTICE
Configuration hazard - risk of data loss
If a CLP is inserted in the device, the CLP is also reset to default settings.
Note
When you reset the device to the default settings, all configurations are deleted, including:
• The IP address
• The created user
• The passwords
• The user-defined keys and certificates
Following this, the device can only be reached via the serial interface.
If you assign an IP address to the device via DHCP or DCP (e.g. SINEC PNI), you can access the CLI
and WBM of the device via a network connection with a preset user profile.
Requirement
• The device is in operation.
• The "Reset to factory defaults" button function is enabled.
You can enable or disable this button function. For more information, refer to "Additional
documentation (Page 8)".

Troubleshooting
8.3 Loading a firmware file via TFTP
Resetting the device to factory defaults

To reset the device to default settings during operation, do the following:
1. Switch the device to display mode A.
Display mode A is active if the LEDs DM1 and DM2 are unlit.
If the DM1 and DM2 LEDs are lit or flashing, press the button briefly several times until the
LEDs are off.
If you do not press the button for longer than 1 minute, the device automatically changes to
display mode A.
2. Hold down the button for 12 seconds.
Note
If you release the button before the 12 seconds have elapsed, the operation is canceled.
3. Release the button after 12 seconds.

The device restarts with default settings.
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens can
be downloaded to the device.
Procedure with Microsoft Windows

You can download new firmware to the device using TFTP. To do this, the device does not need
to be reachable either using Web Based Management (WBM) or using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). This can be the case if there was a power failure during a firmware update.
When pressing the button, observe the information in the section "SELECT/SET button
(Page 38)".
Follow the steps below to load new firmware using TFTP:
2. Press the SELECT/SET button and reconnect the device to the power supply with the button
pressed.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to flash.
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still flashing..
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader of the device waits in this status for a new firmware file that you can
download by TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to an Ethernet port of the device with an Ethernet cable.
SCALANCE XC-400
Troubleshooting
6. Assign an IP address to the device using DHCP or SINEC PNI.

7. In a Windows command prompt, go to the directory where the file with the new firmware is
located and use the following command:
tftp -i <IP address> put <firmware file>.
Note
You can enable TFTP in Microsoft Windows as follows:
"Control Panel" > "Programs and Features" > "Turn Windows features on or off" > "TFTP Client".
Once the firmware has been transferred completely to the device and validated, the device
restarts. This may take a few minutes.

The number of devices connected in a line, which are named in the scope of validity, influences
the frame delay. When a frame passes through an IE switch, it is delayed by the store-and-
forward function of the device:
• With a 64-byte frame length by about 10 microseconds (at 100 Mbps)
• With a 1500-byte frame length by about 130 microseconds (at 100 Mbps)
This means that the more devices the frame passes through, the higher the frame run time.
