Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000038-NDM-000213

    Group
  • The Arista network device must enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of management information within the network device based on information flow control policies.

    A mechanism to detect and prevent unauthorized communication flow must be configured or provided as part of the system design. If management information flow is not enforced based on approved autho...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000065-NDM-000214

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts, after which time it must block any login attempt for 15 minutes.

    By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000068-NDM-000215

    Group
  • The Arista network device must display the Standard Mandatory DOD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the device.

    Display of the DOD-approved use notification before granting access to the network device ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executi...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000026-NDM-000208

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to audit all administrator activity.

    This requirement supports non-repudiation of actions taken by an administrator and is required in order to maintain the integrity of the configuration management process. All configuration changes ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000142-NDM-000245

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured to prohibit the use of all unnecessary and/or nonsecure functions, ports, protocols, and/or services.

    To prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable unused o...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000148-NDM-000346

    Group
  • The Arista network device must be configured with only one local account to be used as the account of last resort in the event the authentication server is unavailable.

    Authentication for administrative (privileged level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server i...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000164-NDM-000252

    Group
  • The Arista network device must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265

    Group
  • The Arista network device must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    Unapproved mechanisms used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromi...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267

    Group
  • The Arista network device must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000329-NDM-000287

    Group
  • If the Arista network device uses role-based access control, the network device must enforce organization-defined role-based access control policies over defined subjects and objects.

    Organizations can create specific roles based on job functions and the authorizations (i.e., privileges) to perform needed operations on organizational information systems associated with the organ...

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.
