Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000002

    Group
  • The Cisco MPLS switch must be configured to use its loopback address as the source address for LDP peering sessions.

    Using a loopback address as the source address offers a multitude of uses for security, access, management, and scalability of backbone switches. It is easier to construct appropriate ingress filte...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000003

    Group
  • The Cisco MPLS switch must be configured to synchronize Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) and LDP to minimize packet loss when an IGP adjacency is established prior to LDP peers completing label exchange.

    Packet loss can occur when an IGP adjacency is established and the switch begins forwarding packets using the new adjacency before the LDP label exchange completes between the peers on that link. P...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000193-RTR-000001

    Group
  • The MPLS switch with RSVP-TE enabled must be configured with message pacing to adjust maximum burst and maximum number of RSVP messages to an output queue based on the link speed and input queue size of adjacent core switches.

    RSVP-TE can be used to perform constraint-based routing when building LSP tunnels within the network core that will support QoS and traffic engineering requirements. RSVP-TE is also used to enable ...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000004

    Group
  • The Cisco MPLS switch must be configured to have TTL Propagation disabled.

    The head end of the label-switched path (LSP), the label edge switch (LER) will decrement the IP packet's time-to-live (TTL) value by one and then copy the value to the MPLS TTL field. At each labe...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000512-RTR-000005

    Group
  • The Cisco PE switch must be configured to have each Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance bound to the appropriate physical or logical interfaces to maintain traffic separation between all MPLS L3VPNs.

    The primary security model for an MPLS L3VPN infrastructure is traffic separation. The service provider must guarantee the customer that traffic from one VPN does not leak into another VPN or into ...
    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.
