Description
A rogue router could send a fictitious routing update to convince a site's perimeter router to send traffic to an incorrect or even a rogue destination. This diverted traffic could be analyzed to learn confidential information about the site's network, or merely used to disrupt the network's ability to communicate with other networks. This is known as a "traffic attraction attack" and is prevented by configuring neighbor router authentication for routing updates. However, using clear-text authentication provides little benefit since an attacker can intercept traffic and view the authentication key. This would allow the attacker to use the authentication key in an attack. This requirement applies to all IPv4 and IPv6 protocols that are used to exchange routing or packet forwarding information; this includes all Interior Gateway Protocols (such as OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS) and Exterior Gateway Protocols (such as BGP), MPLS-related protocols (such as LDP), and Multicast-related protocols.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 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-80601r1_chk)

Verify the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to ensure that it is using a NIST validated FIPS 140-2 cryptography encryption mechanism by implementing OSPFv3 with IPsec. [HP] display current-configuration interface interface GigabitEthernet0/0 port link-mode route description R1 ACTIVE combo enable copper ospfv3 200 area 0.0.0.0 ospfv3 ipsec-profile jitc ipv6 address 2115:B:1::3E/126 If the routing protocol authentication mechanism is not a validated FIPS 140-2 cryptography, this is a finding. Note: OSPFv3 requires IPsec to enable authentication using either the IPv6 Authentication Header (AH) or the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) header.
