  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use a unique key for each autonomous system (AS) that it peers with.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the same keys are used between eBGP neighbors, the chance of a hacker compromising any of the BGP sessions increases. It i...

    Group
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to reject inbound route advertisements from a customer edge (CE) Juniper router for prefixes that are not allocated to that customer.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;As a best practice, a service provider should only accept customer prefixes that have been assigned to that customer and any ...

    Group
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to reject outbound route advertisements for any prefixes that do not belong to any customers or the local autonomous system (AS).

  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to reject route advertisements from BGP peers that do not list their autonomous system (AS) number as the first AS in the AS_PATH attribute.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Verifying the path a route has traversed will ensure the IP core is not used as a transit network for unauthorized or possibl...

    Group
  • The Juniper BGP router must be configured to use the maximum prefixes feature to protect against route table flooding and prefix de-aggregation attacks.
