  • The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to not redistribute static routes to an alternate gateway service provider into BGP or an IGP peering with the NIPRNet or to other autonomous systems.

    <VulnDiscussion>If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway P...
