Disable Quagga Service

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The zebra service can be disabled with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl mask --now zebra.service

Rationale

Routing protocol daemons are typically used on routers to exchange network topology information with other routers. If routing daemons are used when not required, system network information may be unnecessarily transmitted across the network.
