Cisco NX OS Switch RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-NET-000343-RTR-000002

    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to authenticate all received MSDP packets.

    MSDP peering with customer network switches presents additional risks to the core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP-enabled switch. MSDP password authentication is used to validate each s...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000007

    Group
  • SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000008

    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to filter source-active multicast advertisements to external MSDP peers to avoid global visibility of local-only multicast sources and groups.

    To avoid global visibility of local information, there are a number of source-group (S, G) states in a PIM-SM domain that must not be leaked to another domain, such as multicast sources with privat...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000009

    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to limit the amount of source-active messages it accepts on a per-peer basis.

    To reduce any risk of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP switch, the switch must be configured to limit the number of source-active messages it accepts from each peer.
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000011

    Group
  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000012

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to advertise a hop limit of at least 32 in Switch Advertisement messages for IPv6 stateless auto-configuration deployments.

    The Neighbor Discovery protocol allows a hop limit value to be advertised by routers in a Router Advertisement message being used by hosts instead of the standardized default value. If a very small...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
