Network Routing
A router is a very desirable target for a potential adversary because they fulfill a variety of infrastructure networking roles such as access to network segments, gateways to other networks, filtering, etc. Therefore, if one is required, the system acting as a router should be dedicated to that purpose alone and be stored in a physically secure location. The system's default routing software is Quagga, and provided in an RPM package of the same name.
Disable Quagga if Possible
If Quagga was installed and activated, but the system does not need to act as a router, then it should be disabled and removed.
