Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-NET-000362

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The PE router must be configured to implement Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping for each Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) bridge domain.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;IGMP snooping provides a way to constrain multicast traffic at Layer 2. By monitoring the IGMP membership reports sent by hos...

  • SRG-NET-000362

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The multicast Rendezvous Point (RP) router must be configured to limit the multicast forwarding cache so that its resources are not saturated by managing an overwhelming number of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) source-active entries.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering between networks enables sharing of multicast source information. Enclaves with an existing multicast topology u...

    Group
  • The multicast Rendezvous Point (RP) must be configured to rate limit the number of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Register messages.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;When a new source starts transmitting in a PIM Sparse Mode network, the DR will encapsulate the multicast packets into regist...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The multicast Designated Router (DR) must be configured to limit the number of mroute states resulting from Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Host Membership Reports.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The current multicast paradigm can let any host join any multicast group at any time by sending an IGMP or MLD membership rep...

  • SRG-NET-000362

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The multicast Designated Router (DR) must be configured to increase the shortest-path tree (SPT) threshold or set it to infinity to minimalize source-group (S, G) state within the multicast topology where Any Source Multicast (ASM) is deployed.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;ASM can have many sources for the same groups (many-to-many). For many receivers, the path via the RP may not be ideal compar...

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.
