Vulnerability discussion

If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to a NIPRNet gateway, this could make traffic on NIPRNet flow to that particular router and not to the Internet Access Point routers. This could not only wreak havoc with traffic flows on NIPRNet, but it could overwhelm the connection from the router to the NIPRNet gateway(s) and also cause traffic destined for outside of NIPRNet to bypass the defenses of the Internet Access Points.

Check content

This requirement applies only to DoDIN enclaves. Review the configuration of the route connecting to the Alternate Gateway. Verify redistribution of static routes to the Alternate Gateway is not occurring by reviewing the running configuration via the "show running-config" command. In the appropriate routing protocol configuration, there must not be a "redistribute static" statement. If there is a redistribute static statement, there must be an accompanying route map to prevent redistribution of routes to the alternate gateway. If the static routes to the Alternate Gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to a NIPRNet gateway, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the router so that static routes are not redistributed to an Alternate Gateway into either an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to the NIPRNet or to other Autonomous System. Enter "no redistribute static" into the routing process configuration to fulfill this requirement. To configure a Route Map to allow for redistribution of some static routes, refer to Chapter 18.3 of the Arista Configuration Manual.

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.
