Description
Packets with Bogon IP source addresses should never be allowed to traverse the IP core. Bogon IP networks are RFC1918 addresses or address blocks that have never been assigned by the IANA or have been reserved.

Review the switch configuration to verify that an ingress ACL applied to all external interfaces is blocking packets with Bogon source addresses. Step 1: Verify an ACL has been configured containing the current Bogon prefixes as shown in the example below: ip access-list extended FILTER_PERIMETER deny ip 0.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input deny ip 100.64.0.0 0.63.255.255 any log-input deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input deny ip 169.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 any log-input deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any log-input deny ip 192.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input deny ip 192.0.2.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any log-input deny ip 198.18.0.0 0.1.255.255 any log-input deny ip 198.51.100.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input deny ip 203.0.113.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input deny ip 224.0.0.0 31.255.255.255 any log-input deny ip 240.0.0.0 15.255.255.255 any log-input permit tcp any any established permit tcp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 eq bgp permit tcp host x.12.1.9 eq bgp host x.12.1.10 permit icmp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 echo permit icmp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 echo-reply … … … deny ip any any log-input Step 2: Verify that the inbound ACL applied to all external interfaces will block all traffic from Bogon source addresses. interface GigabitEthernet0/1 description Link to DISN ip address x.12.1.10 255.255.255.254 ip access-group FILTER_PERIMETER in If the switch is not configured to block inbound packets with source Bogon IP address prefixes, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-22714r863262_fix)

Configure the perimeter to block inbound packets with Bogon source addresses. Step 1: Configure an ACL containing the current Bogon prefixes as shown below: SW1(config)#ip access-list extended FILTER_PERIMETER SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 0.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 100.64.0.0 0.63.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 127.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 169.254.0.0 0.0.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 192.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 192.0.2.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 198.18.0.0 0.1.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 198.51.100.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 203.0.113.0 0.0.0.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 224.0.0.0 31.255.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip 240.0.0.0 15.255.255.255 any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp any any established SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 eq bgp SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host x.12.1.9 eq bgp host x.12.1.10 SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit icmp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 echo SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit icmp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.10 echo-reply … … … SW1(config-ext-nacl)#deny ip any any log-input SW1(config-ext-nacl)#end Step 2: Apply the ACL inbound on all external interfaces.
