Fix Recommendation

Configure the router to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets as shown in the example below.
R1(config)#ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#deny ipv6 any any undetermined-transport log
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#permit ipv6 …
…
…
…
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#deny ipv6 any any log
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#exit
R1(config)#int g1/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6 in

Check Contents

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the router configuration to determine if it is configured to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets.

Step 1: Verify that an inbound IPv6 ACL has been configured on the external interface.

interface gigabitethernet1/0
ipv6 address 2001::1:0:22/64
ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6 in


Step 2: Verify that the ACL drops undetermined transport packets as shown in the example below.

ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6
deny ipv6 any any log undetermined-transport
permit ipv6 …
…
…
…
deny ipv6 any any log


If the router is not configured to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets, this is a finding.
