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 that it will reject routes belonging to the local AS. The prefix filter must be referenced inbound on the appropriate BGP neighbor statements. Step 1: Review the prefix lists configured on the router to filter the local AS prefix (10.12.0.0/16). To verify IP prefix lists are configured, execute the command "show ip prefix-list". router#sh ip prefix-list router#ip prefix-list LOCAL_SCOPE_BOUNDARY seq 10 deny 10.12.0.0/16 seq 100 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le32 Step 2: Review the BGP configuration to verify the prefix filter is applied inbound to the BGP neighbor. To verify the BGP config and verify the prefix is applied, execute the command "show run | section router bgp". router bgp 65000 router-id 10.11.11.11 address-family ipv4 no neighbor 10.11.12.2 prefix-list out neighbor 10.12.0.0 prefix-list LOCAL_SCOPE_BOUNDARY in If the Arista router is not configured to reject inbound route advertisements belonging to the local AS, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-59608r882308_fix)

Configure Arista eBGP routers to reject inbound route advertisements for prefixes that are not allocated to that specific customer. Step 1: Configure the prefix-list to reject inbound route advertisements belonging to the local AS. router(config)#ip prefix-list LOCAL_SCOPE_BOUNDARY router(config-ip-pfx)#seq 10 deny 10.12.0.0/16 router(config-ip-pfx)#seq 100 permit 0.0.0.0/0 le32 Step 2: Configure a route-map to match the prefix-list. router(config)#route-map LOCAL_AS deny router(config-route-map-LOCAL_AS)#match IP address prefix-list LOCAL_SCOPE_BOUNDARY router(config-route-map-LOCAL_AS)#exit Step 3: Configure the route-map to be applied inbound to the appropriate BGP neighbor. router(config)#router bgp 65000 router(config-router-bgp)#neighbor 10.12.0.0 prefix-list LOCAL_SCOPE_BOUNDARY in
