Cisco NX OS Switch RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Cisco multicast Designated switch (DR) must be configured to set the shortest-path tree (SPT) threshold to infinity to minimalize source-group (S, G) state within the multicast topology where Any Source Multicast (ASM) is deployed.

    <VulnDiscussion>ASM can have many sources for the same groups (many-to-many). For many receivers, the path via the RP may not be ideal compar...

  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering with customer network switches presents additional risks to the DISN Core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured...

  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to filter received source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The interoperability of BGP extensions for interdomain multicast routing and MSDP enables seamless connectivity of multicast ...

  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to filter source-active multicast advertisements to external MSDP peers to avoid global visibility of local-only multicast sources and groups.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To avoid global visibility of local information, there are a number of source-group (S, G) states in a PIM-SM domain that mus...

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.
