| Description |
|---|
| Access lists are used to separate data traffic into that which it will route (permitted packets) and that which it will not route (denied packets). Secure configuration of routers makes use of access lists for restricting access to services on the router itself as well as for filtering traffic passing through the router. Inbound versus Outbound: It should be noted that some operating systems default access lists are applied to the outbound queue. The more secure solution is to apply the access list to the inbound queue for three reasons: - The router can protect itself before damage is inflicted. - The input port is still known and can be filtered upon. - It is more efficient to filter packets before routing them. |

| This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN backbone. Review the Arista router configuration to verify the egress ACL is bound to the internal interface in an inbound direction. Step 1: To verify the egress ACL is bound to the internal interface in an inbound direction, execute the command "sh ip access-list". ip access-list WAN_OUT 10 permit tcp any host 180.20.10.1 eq ssh telnet 20 permit ip any 190.16.10.0/24 30 permit udp any 67.56.10.2 eq bootps snmp 40 deny tcp any 208.73.210.0 0.0.1.255 50 deny udp any 208.73.210.0 0.0.1.255 60 deny icmp any any 70 permit ip any any Step 2: To verify the ACL is applied inbound on all external interfaces, execute the command "sh run int Eth YY". interface ethernet 8 ip access-group WAN_OUT in If the Arista router is not configured to filter traffic leaving the network at the internal interface in an inbound direction, this is a finding. |
