Fix Recommendation

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Configure the router to use an inbound ACL on all external interfaces as shown in the example below to restrict traffic in accordance with the guidelines contained in DOD Instruction 8551.1.

R1(config)#ip access-list extended EXTERNAL_ACL_INBOUND
R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp any any established
R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host x.11.1.1 eq bgp host x.11.1.2
R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 eq bgp
R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo
R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo-reply
…
… < must be in accordance with DoD Instruction 8551.1>
…
R1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip any any log-input
R1(config-ext-nacl)#exit
R1(config)#int g0/2
R1(config-if)#ip access-group EXTERNAL_ACL_INBOUND in

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the router configuration to verify that the ingress ACL is in accordance with DoD 8551.1.

Step 1: Verify that an inbound ACL is configured on all external interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/2
ip address x.11.1.2 255.255.255.254
ip access-group EXTERNAL_ACL_INBOUND in

Step 2. Review the inbound ACL to verify that it is filtering traffic in accordance with DoD 8551.1.

ip access-list extended EXTERNAL_ACL_INBOUND
permit tcp any any established
permit tcp host x.11.1.1 eq bgp host x.11.1.2
permit tcp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 eq bgp
permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo
permit icmp host x.11.1.1 host x.11.1.2 echo-reply
…
… < must be in accordance with DoD Instruction 8551.1>
…
deny ip any any log-input

If the router does not filter traffic in accordance with the guidelines contained in DoD 8551.1, this is a finding.
