Cisco IOS XE Switch RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The MPLS switch with RSVP-TE enabled must be configured with message pacing to adjust maximum burst and maximum number of RSVP messages to an output queue based on the link speed and input queue size of adjacent core switches.

    <VulnDiscussion>RSVP-TE can be used to perform constraint-based routing when building LSP tunnels within the network core that will support Q...

  • The Cisco PE switch must be configured to have each Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance bound to the appropriate physical or logical interfaces to maintain traffic separation between all MPLS L3VPNs.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The primary security model for an MPLS L3VPN infrastructure is traffic separation. The service provider must guarantee the cu...

  • The Cisco PE switch must be configured to have each Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance with the appropriate Route Target (RT).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The primary security model for an MPLS L3VPN as well as a VRF-lite infrastructure is traffic separation. Each interface can o...
