    Group
  • The Cisco multicast Designated Router (DR) must be configured to filter the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) Report messages to allow hosts to join only multicast groups that have been approved by the organization.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Real-time multicast traffic can entail multiple large flows of data. Large unicast flows tend to be fairly isolated (i.e., so...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco 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-RTR-000123

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco multicast Designated Router (DR) must be configured to set the shortest-path tree (SPT) threshold 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...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering with customer network routers presents additional risks to the DISN Core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured ...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to authenticate all received MSDP packets.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;MSDP peering with customer network routers presents additional risks to the core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP-...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to filter received source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The interoperability of BGP extensions for interdomain multicast routing and MSDP enables seamless connectivity of multicast ...

  • SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000008

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to filter source-active multicast advertisements to external MSDP peers to avoid global visibility of local-only multicast sources and groups.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To avoid global visibility of local information, there are a number of source-group (S, G) states in a PIM-SM domain that mus...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to limit the amount of source-active messages it accepts on a per-peer basis.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;To reduce any risk of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP router, the router must be configur...

  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000011

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) router must be configured to use a loopback address as the source address when originating MSDP traffic.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Using a loopback address as the source address offers a multitude of uses for security, access, management, and scalability o...

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.
