SRG-NET-000078-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco router must be configured to log all packets that have been dropped at interfaces via ACL.
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done or attempted to be done, and by whom, to compile an accurate ...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000076-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco router must be configured to produce audit records containing information to establish where the events occurred.
Without establishing where events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000077-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco router must be configured to produce audit records containing information to establish the source of the events.
Without establishing the source of the event, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessmen...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco router must be configured to disable the auxiliary port unless it is connected to a secured modem providing encryption and authentication.
The use of POTS lines to modems connecting to network devices provides clear text of authentication traffic over commercial circuits that could be captured and used to compromise the network. Addit...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000202-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to deny network traffic by default and allow network traffic by exception.
A deny-all, permit-by-exception network communications traffic policy ensures that only connections that are essential and approved are allowed. This requirement applies to both inbound and outbou...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000002
Group -
The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks in accordance with applicable policy.
Information flow control regulates authorized information to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Controlling the flow of network traffic is critical so it does not introduc...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-RTR-000109
Group -
The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to only allow incoming communications from authorized sources to be routed to authorized destinations.
Unrestricted traffic may contain malicious traffic that poses a threat to an enclave or to other connected networks. Additionally, unrestricted traffic may transit a network, which uses bandwidth a...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-RTR-000110
Group -
The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to block inbound packets with source Bogon IP address prefixes.
Packets with Bogon IP source addresses should never be allowed to traverse the IP core. Bogon IP networks are RFC1918 addresses or address blocks that have never been assigned by the IANA or have b...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000008
Group -
The Cisco 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 Cisco 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

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.
