| V-65961 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must be configured to disable non-essential capabilities. | A compromised switch introduces risk to the entire network infrastructure as well as data resources that are accessible via the network. The perimeter... |
| V-66057 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must manage excess bandwidth to limit the effects of packet flooding types of denial of service (DoS) attacks. | Denial of service is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. Packet flooding DDoS attacks are referred to as volumetric att... |
| V-66059 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must provide the capability for authorized users to select a user session to capture. | Without the capability to select a user session to capture/record or view/hear, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by ... |
| V-66061 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must provide the capability for authorized users to remotely view, in real time, all content related to an established user session from a component separate from the HP FlexFabric Switch. | Without the capability to remotely view/hear all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. Re... |
| V-66063 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have Root Guard enabled on all ports where the root bridge should not appear. | Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) does not provide any means for the network administrator to securely enforce the topology of the switched network. Any sw... |
| V-66065 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have BPDU Guard enabled on all user-facing access ports. | If a rogue switch is introduced into the topology and transmits a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) with a lower bridge priority than the existing root... |
| V-66067 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have STP Loop Protection enabled all non-designated STP switch ports. | The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) loop Protection feature provides additional protection against STP loops. An STP loop is created when an STP blocking... |
| V-66069 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have unknown storm-constrain enabled. | Access layer switches use the Content Addressable Memory (CAM) table to direct traffic to specific ports based on the VLAN number and the destination ... |
| V-66071 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have DHCP snooping for all user VLANs to validate DHCP messages from untrusted sources as well as rate-limit DHCP traffic. | In an enterprise network, devices under administrative control are trusted sources. These devices include the switches, routers, and servers in the ne... |
| V-66073 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have IP Source Guard enabled on all user-facing or untrusted access switch ports. | IP Source Guard provides source IP address filtering on a Layer 2 port to prevent a malicious host from impersonating a legitimate host by assuming th... |
| V-66075 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) enabled on all user VLANs. | DAI intercepts Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests and verifies that each of these packets has a valid IP-to-MAC address binding before updatin... |
| V-66077 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must implement Rapid STP where VLANs span multiple switches with redundant links. | Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is implemented on bridges and switches to prevent layer 2 loops when a broadcast domain spans multiple bridges and switch... |
| V-66079 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must enable Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) to protect against one-way connections. | In topologies where fiber optic interconnections are used, physical misconnections can occur that allow a link to appear to be up when there is a mism... |
| V-66081 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have all trunk links enabled statically. | When trunk negotiation is enabled via Dynamic Trunk Protocol (DTP), considerable time can be spent negotiating trunk settings (802.1q or ISL) when a n... |
| V-66085 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have all disabled switch ports assigned an unused VLAN. | It is possible that a disabled port that is assigned to a user or management VLAN becomes enabled by accident or by an attacker and as a result gains ... |
| V-66087 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must not have the default VLAN assigned to any host-facing switch ports. | In a VLAN-based network, switches use the default VLAN (i.e., VLAN 1) for in-band management and to communicate with other networking devices using Sp... |
| V-66089 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have the default VLAN pruned from all trunk ports that do not require it. | The default VLAN (i.e., VLAN 1) is a special VLAN used for control plane traffic such as Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP)... |
| V-66091 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must not use the default VLAN for management traffic. | Switches use the default VLAN (i.e., VLAN 1) for in-band management and to communicate with directly connected switches using Spanning-Tree Protocol (... |
| V-66093 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have all user-facing or untrusted ports configured as access switch ports. | Double encapsulation can be initiated by an attacker who has access to a switch port belonging to the native VLAN of the trunk port. Knowing the victi... |
| V-66095 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must have the native VLAN assigned to a VLAN ID other than the default VLAN ID for all 802.1q trunk links. | VLAN hopping can be initiated by an attacker who has access to a switch port belonging to the same VLAN as the native VLAN of the trunk link connectin... |
| V-66097 | | The HP FlexFabric Switch must not have any access switch ports assigned to the native VLAN. | Double encapsulation can be initiated by an attacker who has access to a switch port belonging to the native VLAN of the trunk port. Knowing the victi... |
| V-66051 | | HP FlexFabric Switch must authenticate all network-connected endpoint devices before establishing any connection. | Controlling LAN access via 802.1x authentication or MAC authentication can assist in preventing a malicious user from connecting an unauthorized PC to... |
