Vulnerability discussion

If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the out-of-band management network, implementation of several safeguards for containment of management and production traffic boundaries must occur. Since the managed and management network are separate routing domains, configuration of separate Interior Gateway Protocol routing instances is critical on the router to segregate traffic from each network.

Check content

Verify that the OOBM interface is an adjacency only in the IGP routing domain for the management network. The following would be an example where EIGRP is run on the management network 10.0.0.0 and OSPF in the managed network 172.20.0.0. The network 10.1.20.0/24 is the OOBM backbone and 10.1.1.0 is the local management LAN connecting to the OOBM interfaces of the managed network (i.e., the private and service network) elements. interface Serial0/0 description to_OOBM_Backbone ip address 10.1.20.3 255.255.255.0 ! interface FastEthernet 0/0 description Enclave_Management_LAN ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 ! interface FastEthernet 0/1 description to_our_PrivateNet ip address 172.20.4.2 255.255.255.0 ! interface FastEthernet 0/2 description to_our_ServiceNet ip address 172.20.5.2 255.255.255.0 ! router ospf 1 network 172.20.0.0 ! router eigrp 12 network 10.0.0.0 If the OOBM interface is not an adjacency only in the IGP routing domain for the management network, this is a finding.

Fix text

Ensure that multiple IGP instances configured on the OOBM gateway router peer only with their appropriate routing domain. Verify that the all interfaces are configured for the appropriate IGP instance.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
