SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000112
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to have IP directed broadcast disabled on all interfaces.
An IP directed broadcast is a datagram sent to the broadcast address of a subnet that is not directly attached to the sending machine. The directed broadcast is routed through the network as a unic...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000113
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to have Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) unreachable messages disabled on all external interfaces.
The ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. Switches automatically send ICMP messages under a wide variety of conditions. Host unreachable ICMP...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000115
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to have Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirect messages disabled on all external interfaces.
The ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. Switches automatically send ICMP messages under a wide variety of conditions. Redirect ICMP message...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000078-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco switch must be configured to log all packets that have been dropped at interfaces via an 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-000202-RTR-000001
Group -
The Cisco perimeter switch 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 switch 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 switch 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 switch 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-000205-RTR-000014
Group -
The Cisco perimeter switch must be configured to restrict it from accepting outbound IP packets that contain an illegitimate address in the source address field via egress filter or by enabling Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF).
A compromised host in an enclave can be used by a malicious platform to launch cyberattacks on third parties. This is a common practice in "botnets", which are a collection of compromised computers...Rule High Severity -
SRG-NET-000205-RTR-000003
Group -
The Cisco perimeter switch must be configured to filter traffic destined to the enclave in accordance with the guidelines contained in DoD Instruction 8551.1.
Vulnerability assessments must be reviewed by the System Administrator, and protocols must be approved by the Information Assurance (IA) staff before entering the enclave. ACLs are the first line ...Rule Medium Severity
