The HP FlexFabric Switch must configure the maximum hop limit value to at least 32.

Description
The Neighbor Discovery protocol allows a hop limit value to be advertised by routers in a Router Advertisement message to be used by hosts instead of the standardized default value. If a very small value was configured and advertised to hosts on the LAN segment, communications would fail due to the hop limit reaching zero before the packets sent by a host reached their destination.

Who does this work

15 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-80615r2_chk)

Review the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to determine if the maximum hop limit has been configured. If the maximum hop limit is not configured, this is a finding. If it has been configured, then it must be set to at least 32; otherwise this is a finding. [5900CP]display current-configuration | i hop-limit ipv6 hop-limit 255 Note: The default value for the maximum hop limit is 64.

Fix Text (F-72201r1_fix)

If the max hop set is not configured then use the following command to configure it: [HP] ipv6 hop-limit 255
