Title
The system must be configured with a default gateway for IPv6 if the system uses IPv6, unless the system is a router. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If a system has no default gateway defined, the system is at increased risk of man-in-the-middle, monitoring, and Denial of Service attacks.
Check Content
If the system is a router, this is not applicable. If the system does not use IPv6, this is not applicable. Determine if the system has a default route configured for IPv6. # netstat -r | grep default If a default route is not defined, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure an IPv6 default route on the system. # smitty route
