Description

Managed SRX devices are unable to retrieve the IDP signature package through SD Cloud. When the device relies on a routing instance for outbound connectivity, the signature download initiated by SD Cloud fails. The SD Cloud UI reports a download failure, and device-side NETCONF trace options show errors during the curl execution of the sigpack download command.

Symptoms

  • IDP signature download fails on SRX devices managed by SD Cloud, where SDC UI shows the below error:
    “Download and install of sigpack files from Storage Failed”

  • NETCONF traceoptions on SRX show the SD Cloud–initiated curl command failing with:

Error snippet from SRX device netconf traceoption for the reference: 

May  2 04:51:48 [NETCONF] - [98853] Outgoing: <output>
May  2 04:51:48 [NETCONF] - [98853] Outgoing: ld-elf32.so.1: /usr/lib32/nss_vrf.so.1: Undefined symbol "rtslib_open"

  • Note: Failure occurs specifically when devices must use a routing-instance for internet access

Solution

SD Cloud currently does not support the use of routing-instances when delivering IPS/IDP signature packages to managed devices.
Because the SDC-initiated file download is not VRF-aware, the device cannot complete the signature retrieval when a routing-instance is required for external connectivity. Support for routing-instances in SD Cloud signature delivery is targeted for SDC 25.3 (Q4 release Tentively  ).


Until routing-instance support is available natively, use the following workaround:

Workaround: Configure signature updates directly on each SRX

For each affected SRX device that uses a routing-instance for internet access:

 

  1. Configure the routing instance under the IDP security package:
    set security idp security-package routing-instance <routing-instance-name>

  2. Apply this either:
    • Globally, via Devices → Configuration Template, or
    • Individually, via Devices → Device Configuration

  3. Enable Auto Update on the SRX, allowing the device to fetch signatures directly from:


This ensures the SRX keeps its signature database updated automatically, bypassing the need for SD Cloud to install signatures manually.
