Cisco IOS XR Router RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to block inbound packets with source Bogon IP address prefixes.

    Packets with Bogon IP source addresses should never be allowed to traverse the IP core. Bogon IP networks are RFC1918 addresses or address blocks that have never been assigned by the IANA or have b...

    Enclaves with alternate gateway connections must take additional steps to ensure there is no compromise on the enclave network or NIPRNet. Without verifying the destination address of traffic comin...
    Rule High Severity
  • The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to have Proxy ARP disabled on all external interfaces.

  • The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to filter ingress traffic at the external interface on an inbound direction.

    Access lists are used to separate data traffic into that which it will route (permitted packets) and that which it will not route (denied packets). Secure configuration of routers makes use of acce...
