Juniper Router RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Juniper multicast edge router must be configured to establish boundaries for administratively scoped multicast traffic.

    <VulnDiscussion>If multicast traffic is forwarded beyond the intended boundary, it is possible that it can be intercepted by unauthorized or ...

  • The Juniper multicast Rendezvous Point (RP) router must be configured to limit the multicast forwarding cache so that its resources are not saturated by managing an overwhelming number of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) source-active entries.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering between networks enables sharing of multicast source information. Enclaves with an existing multicast topology u...

  • The Juniper multicast Rendezvous Point (RP) router must be configured to filter Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Register messages received from the Designated Router (DR) for any undesirable multicast groups and sources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Real-time multicast traffic can entail multiple large flows of data. An attacker can flood a network segment with multicast p...

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.
