This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to determine if ACLs are bound to the applicable interfaces to drop IPv6 packets containing a Hop-by-Hop header with option type values of 0x04 (Tunnel Encapsulation Limit), 0xC9 (Home Address Destination), or 0xC3 (NSAP Address). Step 1: Verify that all external IPv6-enabled interfaces have an IPv6 filter as shown in the example below. interfaces { ge-0/0/0 { unit 0 { family inet6 { filter { input IPV6-INGRESS-FILTER; } address 2001:1:0:146::1/64; } } } } Step 2: Verify that the IPV6 filter blocks all packets with a Hop-by-Hop header as shown in the example below. firewall { family inet6 { filter IPV6-INGRESS-FILTER { term HOP_BY_HOP_HEADER { from { next-header hop-by-hop; } then { syslog; discard; } } term ALLOW_TCP_ESTABLISHED { from { next-header tcp; tcp-established; } then accept; } term DENY_BY_DEFAULT { then { syslog; discard; } } } } } Note: Currently JUNOS has no method to filter option type within Hop-by-Hop header. Hence, all packets with the Hop-by-Hop header must be dropped. If the router is not configured to drop IPv6 packets containing a Hop-by-Hop header with invalid option type values, this is a finding.
