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

Review the External/internal gateway protocol database on the HP FlexFabric Switch to ensure no static routes are being redistributed via these protocols. If there are static routes being re-distributed, this is a finding.

Fix text

By default the HP FlexFabric switches do not redistribute static routes via External/Internak gateway protocols. If Static routes redistribution has been configure, use the command bellow to disable it. [HP] ospf 1 [HP-ospf-1] undo import-route static

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.
