The Arista MLS layer 2 switch must have all trunk links enabled statically.

Description
When trunk negotiation is enabled via Dynamic Trunk Protocol (DTP), considerable time can be spent negotiating trunk settings (802.1q or ISL) when a node or interface is restored. While this negotiation is happening, traffic is dropped because the link is up from a layer 2 perspective. Packet loss can be eliminated by setting the interface statically to trunk mode, thereby avoiding dynamic trunk protocol negotiation and significantly reducing any outage when restoring a failed link or switch.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-255979r882279_chk)

Review the Arista MLS switch configuration to verify that all Ethernet interfaces designated as trunk links are statically configured to specify only member tagged VLAN traffic is allowed and all nonmember VLAN traffic will be dropped unless untagged traffic is associated with the interface's native VLAN. switch#show run | section trunk ! interface Ethernet6 description STIG Static Trunk speed forced 10000full switchport trunk native vlan 2102 switchport trunk allowed vlan 2100-2102 switchport mode trunk ! If trunk negotiation is enabled on any interface, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-59598r882278_fix)

Configure static Ethernet interfaces for switchport trunk mode. Ensure required VLAN member tagged traffic is allowed and all other VLAN traffic will be dropped unless an associated untagged native VLAN for the Ethernet interface is allowed. switch#configure switch(config)#interface Ethernet6 description STIG Static Trunk speed forced 10000full switchport trunk native vlan 2102 switchport trunk allowed vlan 2100-2102 switchport mode trunk ! switch(config)#interface Ethernet7 description STIG Static Trunk speed forced 10000full switchport trunk native vlan 3102 switchport trunk allowed vlan 3100-3102 switchport mode trunk !
