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

Review the configuration to verify the management interface belongs to a different OSPF instance (process) than the production network. If the management interface does not belong to a different OSPF instance, this is a finding.

Fix text

If OSPF is used for the management network, configure the management interface to belong to a different OSPF instance than the production network.

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.
