STIGViewer Support

The Remote Access VPN Gateway must be configured to prohibit Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F).

Description
PPTP and L2F are obsolete methods for implementing virtual private networks. Both protocols may be easy to use and readily available, but they have many well-known security issues and exploits. Encryption and authentication are both weak.

Who does this work

5 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-266998r1040760_chk)

Verify the AOS configuration with the following commands: show ip access-list vpnlogon show firewall-cp If PPTP or TCP 1723 are permitted, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-70825r1040759_fix)

Configure AOS with the following commands: configure terminal cd /mm ip access-list session vpnlogon any any svc-pptp deny exit write memory cd /mynode firewall cp ipv4 deny any proto 6 ports 1723 1723 ipv6 deny any proto 6 ports 1723 1723 exit write memory
