Discussion

MSDP peering with customer network routers presents additional risks to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) Core, whether from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP-enabled router. To guard against an attack from malicious MSDP traffic, the receive path or interface filter for all MSDP-enabled Rendezvous Point (RP) routers must be configured to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers.

Check Content

Review the router configuration to determine if there is a receive path or interface filter to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers.

Verify the filter is applied on the interface using the command below:

- show router interface "TO-PE2" detail | match "Ingress Filter"
Egress Filter    : none                 Ingress Filter    : 10

If the router is not configured to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure MSDP routers to only accept MSDP packets from known MSDP peers, as shown in the example below: 

Create an IPv4 filter:

- configure filter ip-filter 10 create
- config>filter>ip-filter# entry 10
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry# match protocol "tcp"
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry>match# src-port 639 eq
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry>match# src-ip 2.2.2.2/32
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry>match# dst-ip 1.1.1.1/32
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry>match# exit
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry# action accept
- config>filter>ip-filter>entry# exit all

Apply the IPv4 filter on the interface:

- configure router interface "TO-PE2" ingress filter ip 10
