Discussion

Routing protocol daemons are typically used on routers to exchange network topology information with other routers. If this software is used when not required, system network information may be unnecessarily transmitted across the network.

Check Content

Check for any running routing protocol daemons. If the system is a VM host and acts as a router solely for the benefits of its client systems, then this rule is not applicable.

# ps ax | egrep '(ospf|route|bgp|zebra|quagga)'
If any routing protocol daemons are listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Disable any routing protocol daemons.
