Description
Accepting route advertisements for bogon prefixes can result in the local autonomous system (AS) becoming a transit for malicious traffic as it will in turn advertise these prefixes to neighbor autonomous systems.

Who does this work

18 NICE work roles and 10 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.

Review the Arista router configuration to verify it will reject routes of any Bogon prefixes. The prefix filter must be referenced inbound on the appropriate BGP neighbor statements. Step 1: Review the BGP Bogon Prefix Lists configured. To verify IP prefix lists are configured, execute the command "show ip prefix-list". ip prefix-list BOGON_v4 seq 1 deny 0.0.0.0/8 le 32 seq 2 deny 10.0.0.0/8 le 32 seq 3 deny 100.64.0.0/10 le 32 seq 4 deny 127.0.0.0/8 le 32 seq 5 deny 169.254.0.0/16 le 32 seq 6 deny 172.16.0.0/12 le 32 seq 100 permit 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 Step 2: Review the prefix lists inbound to the appropriate BGP neighbor to verify the BGP config and verify the prefix is applied. Execute the command "show ip bgp nei X.2.1.1". router bgp 65001 neighbor 100.2.1.1 prefix-list BOGON_v4 in If the Arista router is not configured to reject or permit inbound route advertisements for any bogon prefixes, this is a finding.
