Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-NET-000018-RTR-000001

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information within the network based on organization-defined information flow control policies.

    Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. The flow of all network traffic must be monitored and controlled so i...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000230-RTR-000001

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to implement message authentication for all control plane protocols.

    A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect or even a rogue destination. This diverted traffic could be analyzed to l...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000230-RTR-000003

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to use keys with a duration not exceeding 180 days for authenticating routing protocol messages.

    If the keys used for routing protocol authentication are guessed, the malicious user could create havoc within the network by advertising incorrect routes and redirecting traffic. Some routing prot...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000168-RTR-000077

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to use encryption for routing protocol authentication.

    A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect or even a rogue destination. This diverted traffic could be analyzed to l...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000168-RTR-000078

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to authenticate all routing protocol messages using NIST-validated FIPS 140-2 message authentication code algorithm.

    A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect or even a rogue destination. This diverted traffic could be analyzed to l...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000019-RTR-000007

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to have all inactive interfaces disabled.

    An inactive interface is rarely monitored or controlled and may expose a network to an undetected attack on that interface. Unauthorized personnel with access to the communication facility could ga...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000131-RTR-000035

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to have all non-essential capabilities disabled.

    A compromised router introduces risk to the entire network infrastructure, as well as data resources that are accessible via the network. The perimeter defense has no oversight or control of attack...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-NET-000362-RTR-000110

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to protect against or limit the effects of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing control plane protection.

    The Routing Engine (RE) is critical to all network operations because it is the component used to build all forwarding paths for the data plane via control plane processes. It is also instrumental ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000205-RTR-000001

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to restrict traffic destined to itself.

    The Routing Engine handles traffic destined to the router—the key component used to build forwarding paths and is instrumental with all network management functions. Hence, any disruption or DoS at...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000205-RTR-000002

    Group
  • The Juniper router must be configured to drop all fragmented Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packets destined to itself.

    Fragmented ICMP packets can be generated by hackers for DoS attacks such as Ping O' Death and Teardrop. It is imperative that all fragmented ICMP packets are dropped.
    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.
