    Rule Medium Severity
  • The MPLS router with RSVP-TE enabled must be configured with message pacing or refresh reduction to adjust maximum number of RSVP messages to an output queue based on the link speed and input queue size of adjacent core routers.

    RSVP-TE can be used to perform constraint-based routing when building LSP tunnels within the network core that will support QoS and traffic engineering requirements. RSVP-TE is also used to enable ...
    Rule Low Severity

    Rule High Severity
  • The Arista router must be configured to only permit management traffic that ingresses and egresses the out-of-band management (OOBM) interface.
