Juniper Router RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use the maximum prefixes feature to protect against route table flooding and prefix de-aggregation attacks.

    <VulnDiscussion>The effects of prefix de-aggregation can degrade router performance due to the size of routing tables and also result in blac...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000118

  • The Juniper Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to limit the amount of source-active messages it accepts on per-peer basis.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To reduce any risk of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP router, the router must be configur...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to limit the prefix size on any inbound route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The effects of prefix de-aggregation can degrade router performance due to the size of routing tables and also result in blac...

  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use its loopback address as the source address for iBGP peering sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Using a loopback address as the source address offers a multitude of uses for security, access, management, and scalability o...

    Group
  • The Juniper MPLS router must be configured to synchronize IGP and LDP to minimize packet loss when an IGP adjacency is established prior to LDP peers completing label exchange.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Packet loss can occur when an IGP adjacency is established and the router begins forwarding packets using the new adjacency b...

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.
