The Juniper router must be configured to have Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirects disabled on all external interfaces.

Description
The ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. Routers automatically send ICMP messages under a wide variety of conditions. Redirect ICMP messages are commonly used by attackers for network mapping and diagnosis.

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-254036r844141_chk)

Review the device configuration to determine if controls have been defined to ensure the router does not send ICMP Redirect messages out to any external interfaces. Verify the global "no-redirects" statement is enabled under [edit system] or that individual interface "no-redirects" statements are configured on external interfaces. [edit system] no-redirects; [edit interfaces] <external interface name> { unit <number> { family inet { no-redirects; address <IPv4 address>.<mask>; } family inet6 { no-redirects; address <IPv6 address>.<prefix>; } } } If ICMP Redirect messages are enabled on any external interfaces, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-57439r844140_fix)

Disable ICMP redirects on all external interfaces. set system no-redirects set interfaces <external interface name> unit <number> family inet no-redirects set interfaces <external interface name> unit <number> family inet6 no-redirects
