III - Administrative Public

Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000003

    Group
  • The Arista multicast router must be configured to disable Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on all interfaces that are not required to support multicast routing.

    If multicast traffic is forwarded beyond the intended boundary, it is possible that it can be intercepted by unauthorized or unintended personnel. Limiting where, within the network, a given multic...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000004

    Group
  • The Arista multicast router must be configured to bind a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) neighbor filter to interfaces that have PIM enabled.

    PIM is a routing protocol used to build multicast distribution trees for forwarding multicast traffic across the network infrastructure. PIM traffic must be limited to only known PIM neighbors by c...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000005

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

    If multicast traffic is forwarded beyond the intended boundary, it is possible that it can be intercepted by unauthorized or unintended personnel. Administrative scoped multicast addresses are loc...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000007

    Group
  • The Arista router must be configured to have all inactive interfaces disabled.

    An inactive interface is rarely monitored or controlled and may expose a network to an undetected attack on that interface. Unauthorized personnel with access to the communication facility could ga...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000008

    Group
  • The Arista perimeter router must be configured to protect an enclave connected to an alternate gateway by using an inbound filter that only permits packets with destination addresses within the sites address space.

    Enclaves with alternate gateway connections must take additional steps to ensure there is no compromise on the enclave network or NIPRNet. Without verifying the destination address of traffic comin...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000009

    Group
  • The Arista perimeter router must be configured to not be a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer to an alternate gateway service provider.

    ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems (i.e., other ISPs and corporate networks). If the perimeter router was configured to BGP peer with an ISP, NIPRNet routes could...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000010

    Group
  • The Arista perimeter router must be configured to not redistribute static routes to an alternate gateway service provider into BGP or an IGP peering with the NIPRNet or to other autonomous systems.

    If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to a NIPRNet gateway, this could make traffic on NIPRNet flow to...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000011

    Group
  • The out-of-band management (OOBM) Arista gateway router must be configured to have separate IGP instances for the managed network and management network.

    If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the OOBM network, implementation of several safeguards for containment of management and production traffic boundaries must occur. Since the mana...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000012

    Group
  • The out-of-band management (OOBM) Arista gateway router must be configured to not redistribute routes between the management network routing domain and the managed network routing domain.

    If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the OOBM network, several safeguards must be implemented for containment of management and production traffic boundaries; otherwise, it is possib...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000013

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

    Real-time multicast traffic can entail multiple large flows of data. An attacker can flood a network segment with multicast packets, over-using the available bandwidth and thereby creating a denial...

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.
