<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured to have each Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance with the appropriate Route Target (RT).
<VulnDiscussion>The primary security model for an MPLS L3VPN as well as a VRF-lite infrastructure is traffic separation. Each interface can o...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000007
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured to have each VRF with the appropriate Route Distinguisher (RD).
<VulnDiscussion>An RD provides uniqueness to the customer address spaces within the MPLS L3VPN infrastructure. The concept of the VPN-IPv4 an...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000343-RTR-000001
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router providing MPLS Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) services must be configured to authenticate targeted Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) sessions used to exchange virtual circuit (VC) information using a FIPS-approved message authentication code algorithm.
<VulnDiscussion>LDP provides the signaling required for setting up and tearing down pseudowires (virtual circuits used to transport Layer 2 f...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000008
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router providing MPLS Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS) must be configured to have the appropriate virtual circuit identification (VC ID) for each attachment circuit.
<VulnDiscussion>VPWS is an L2VPN technology that provides a virtual circuit between two PE routers to forward Layer 2 frames between two cust...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000205-RTR-000007
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured to block any traffic that is destined to IP core infrastructure.
<VulnDiscussion>IP/MPLS networks providing VPN and transit services must provide, at the least, the same level of protection against denial-o...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000205-RTR-000008
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured with Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) loose mode enabled on all CE-facing interfaces.
<VulnDiscussion>The uRPF feature is a defense against spoofing and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by verifying if the source address of any ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000193-RTR-000113
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured to enforce a Quality-of-Service (QoS) policy to provide preferred treatment for mission-critical applications.
<VulnDiscussion>Different applications have unique requirements and toleration levels for delay, jitter, bandwidth, packet loss, and availabi...Rule Low Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco P router must be configured to enforce a Quality-of-Service (QoS) policy to provide preferred treatment for mission-critical applications.
<VulnDiscussion>Different applications have unique requirements and toleration levels for delay, jitter, bandwidth, packet loss, and availabi...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000193-RTR-000112
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco PE router must be configured to enforce a Quality-of-Service (QoS) policy to limit the effects of packet flooding denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
<VulnDiscussion>DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. Packet flooding distributed denial-of-service (DDoS...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000003
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco multicast router must be configured to disable Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on all interfaces that are not required to support multicast routing.
<VulnDiscussion>If multicast traffic is forwarded beyond the intended boundary, it is possible that it can be intercepted by unauthorized or ...Rule Medium Severity

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.
