Arista MLS EOS 4.2x NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-APP-000164-NDM-000252

    Group
  • The Arista network device must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265

    Group
  • The Arista network device must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    Unapproved mechanisms used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromi...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000329-NDM-000287

    Group
  • If the Arista network device uses role-based access control, the network device must enforce organization-defined role-based access control policies over defined subjects and objects.

    Organizations can create specific roles based on job functions and the authorizations (i.e., privileges) to perform needed operations on organizational information systems associated with the organ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to authenticate SNMP messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).

    Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.

    This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryp...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000095-NDM-000225

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to capture all DOD auditable events.

    Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000336

    Group
  • The network device must be configured to use an authentication server to authenticate users prior to granting administrative access.

    Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With ro...

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.
