The Cisco BGP router must be configured to limit the prefix size on any inbound route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer.

Description
The effects of prefix de-aggregation can degrade router performance due to the size of routing tables and also result in black-holing legitimate traffic. Initiated by an attacker or a misconfigured router, prefix de-aggregation occurs when the announcement of a large prefix is fragmented into a collection of smaller prefix announcements.

Who does this work

12 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-216785r856446_chk)

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to determine if it is compliant with this requirement. Step 1: Verify that an inbound route policy has been configured for each CE router as shown in the example below. router bgp xx address-family ipv4 unicast ! neighbor x.12.4.14 remote-as 64514 address-family ipv4 unicast route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES in ! ! neighbor x.12.4.16 remote-as 64516 address-family ipv4 unicast route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES in ! Step 2: Verify that the route policy permits only routes from each CE router with a prefix length of 24 or shorter or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer as shown in the example below. route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES if destination in PREFIX_LENGTH then pass else drop endif end-policy Note: The inbound route policy to filter customer prefixes can be nested with the above route policy as shown in the example below. route-policy CUST1_INBOUND_FILTER apply CUST1_FILTER apply FILTER_64514_ROUTES apply FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES end-policy Step 3: Review the prefix set referenced in the route policy above to determine if it only allows a prefix length 24 or shorter. prefix-set PREFIX_LENGTH 0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 le 24 end-set If the router is not configured to limit the prefix size on any inbound route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer, this is a finding.

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Configure the router to limit the prefix size on any route advertisement to /24 or the least significant prefixes issued to the customer. Step 1: Configure a prefix set to not include prefixes are longer than /24. RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config)#prefix-set PREFIX_LENGTH RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-pfx)#0.0.0.0/0 ge 8 le 24 RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-pfx)#end-set Step 2: Configure a route policy to only accept prefixes that are /24 or shorter as shown in the example below. RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config)#route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl)#if destination in PREFIX_LENGTH then RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl-if)#pass RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl-if)#else RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl-else)#drop RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl-else)#endif RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-rpl)#end-policy Step 3: Apply the route policy above inbound with each peering CE router as shown in the example below. RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config)#router bgp xx RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp)#neighbor x.12.4.14 RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ipv4 unicast RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp-nbr-af)#route-policy route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES in RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp)#neighbor x.12.4.16 RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp-nbr)#address-family ipv4 unicast RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp-nbr-af)#route-policy FILTER_LONG_PREFIXES in RP/0/0/CPU0:R2(config-bgp-nbr-af)#end
