JUNI-RT-000290_rule The Juniper perimeter router must be configured to not be a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer to an alternate gateway service provider.

Vulnerability discussion

The perimeter router will not use a routing protocol to advertise NIPRNet addresses to alternate gateways. Most ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems, that is, any network under a different administrative control and policy than a local site. If BGP is configured on the perimeter router, no BGP neighbors will be defined to peer routers from an autonomous system (AS) belonging to any alternate gateway. The only allowable method is a static route to reach the alternate gateway.

This requirement is not applicable for the DoDIN Backbone. Review the protocols hierarchy in the router configuration (see example below) and verify there are no BGP neighbors configured to a peer AS that belongs to the alternate gateway service provider. protocols { bgp { group AS_2 { type external; peer-as 2; neighbor x.x.x.x { authentication-algorithm hmac-sha-1-96; authentication-key-chain BGP_KEY; } neighbor x.x.x.x { authentication-algorithm hmac-sha-1-96; authentication-key-chain BGP_KEY; } } } If there are BGP neighbors connecting to a peer AS of the alternate gateway service provider, this is a finding.

Fix text

This requirement is not applicable for the DoDIN Backbone. Configure a static route on the perimeter router to reach the AS of a router connecting to an alternate gateway as shown in the example below. [edit routing-options] set static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop x.x.x.x

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.
