Fix Recommendation

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Configure the perimeter router of the managed network with an outbound ACL on the egress interface to block all management traffic.

Step 1: Configure an ACL to block egress management traffic.

R5(config)#ip access-list extended EXTERNAL_ACL_OUTBOUND
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny tcp any any eq tacacs log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny tcp any any eq 22 log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny udp any any eq snmp log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny udp any any eq snmptrap log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny udp any any eq syslog log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp any any eq www
R5(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip any any log-input
R5(config-ext-nacl)#exit

Note: Permit commands would be configured to allow applicable outbound traffic. The example above is allowing web traffic.

Step 2: Configure the external interfaces with the outbound ACL.

R1(config)#int g0/2
R1(config-if)#ip access-group EXTERNAL_ACL_OUTBOUND out

Check Contents

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

The perimeter router of the managed network must be configured with an outbound ACL on the egress interface to block all management traffic as shown in the example below.

Step 1: Verify that all external interfaces have been configured with an outbound ACL as shown in the example below.

interface GigabitEthernet0/2
description link to DISN
ip address x.11.1.2 255.255.255.254
ip access-group EXTERNAL_ACL_OUTBOUND out

Step 2: Verify that the outbound ACL discards management traffic as shown in the example below.

ip access-list extended EXTERNAL_ACL_OUTBOUND
deny tcp any any eq tacacs log-input
deny tcp any any eq 22 log-input
deny udp any any eq snmp log-input
deny udp any any eq snmptrap log-input
deny udp any any eq syslog log-input
permit tcp any any eq www log-input
deny ip any any log-input

If management traffic is not blocked at the perimeter, this is a finding.
