    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must not redistribute static routes to alternate gateway service provider into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to the NIPRNet or to other Autonomous System.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway P...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must protect an enclave connected to an Alternate Gateway by using an inbound filter that only permits packets with destination addresses within the sites address space.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Enclaves with Alternate Gateway (AG) connections must take additional steps to ensure there is no compromise on the enclave n...

  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000010

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • If Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is enabled on the HP FlexFabric Switch, the HP FlexFabric Switch must not be a BGP peer with a HP FlexFabric Switch from an Autonomous System belonging to any Alternate Gateway (AG).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The perimeter router will not use a routing protocol to advertise NIPRNet addresses to Alternate Gateways. Most ISPs use Bord...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must be configured to disable non-essential capabilities.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A compromised router introduces risk to the entire network infrastructure as well as data resources that are accessible via t...

  • SRG-NET-000025-RTR-000020

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must enable neighbor authentication for all control plane protocols.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect o...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000168-RTR-000077

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must encrypt all methods of configured authentication for routing protocols.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect o...

  • SRG-NET-000168-RTR-000078

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must use NIST-validated FIPS 140-2 cryptography to implement authentication encryption mechanisms for routing protocols.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect o...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000012

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce that Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) instances configured on the out-of-band management gateway only peer with their own routing domain.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the out-of-band management network, implementation of several safeguards ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000013

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce that the managed network domain and the management network domain are separate routing domains and the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) instances are not redistributed or advertised to each other.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the out-of-band management network, several safeguards must be implemente...

  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000014

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce that any interface used for out-of-band management traffic is configured to be passive for the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) that is utilized on that management interface.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The out-of-band management access switch will connect to the management interface of the managed network elements. The manage...

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.
