SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000123
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco multicast Designated switch (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.
<VulnDiscussion>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...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-RTR-000116
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers.
<VulnDiscussion>MSDP peering with customer network switches presents additional risks to the DISN Core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured...Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to authenticate all received MSDP packets.
<VulnDiscussion>MSDP peering with customer network switches presents additional risks to the core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000007
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to filter received source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources.
<VulnDiscussion>The interoperability of BGP extensions for interdomain multicast routing and MSDP enables seamless connectivity of multicast ...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000008
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to filter source-active multicast advertisements to external MSDP peers to avoid global visibility of local-only multicast sources and groups.
<VulnDiscussion>To avoid global visibility of local information, there are a number of source-group (S, G) states in a PIM-SM domain that mus...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000009
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to limit the amount of source-active messages it accepts on a per-peer basis.
<VulnDiscussion>To reduce any risk of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP switch, the switch must be configur...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000011
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) switch must be configured to use a loopback address as the source address when originating MSDP traffic.
<VulnDiscussion>Using a loopback address as the source address offers a multitude of uses for security, access, management, and scalability o...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000100
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to have Cisco Express Forwarding enabled.
<VulnDiscussion>The Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switching mode replaces the traditional Cisco routing cache with a data structure that mir...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000012
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to advertise a hop limit of at least 32 in Switch Advertisement messages for IPv6 stateless auto-configuration deployments.
<VulnDiscussion>The Neighbor Discovery protocol allows a hop limit value to be advertised by routers in a Router Advertisement message being ...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000013
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Cisco switch must not be configured to use IPv6 Site Local Unicast addresses.
<VulnDiscussion>As currently defined, site local addresses are ambiguous and can be present in multiple sites. The address itself does not co...Rule Medium Severity

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.
