Title

The Juniper perimeter router must be configured to suppress Router Advertisements on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Many of the known attacks in stateless autoconfiguration are defined in RFC 3756 were present in IPv4 ARP attacks. To mitigate these vulnerabilities, links that have no hosts connected such as the interface connecting to external gateways must be configured to suppress router advertisements.

Check Content

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to verify that Router Advertisements are suppressed on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces as shown in the example below. By default, router advertisements are disabled by Junos. Verify that there are no external-facing interfaces defined under the protocols router-advertisement hierarchy as shown in the example below. protocols { router-advertisement { interface fe-0/1/0.0 { prefix 2001:1:123::/64; } } } If the router is not configured to suppress Router Advertisements on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Remove any external IPv6-enabled interfaces from the protocols router-advertisement hierarchy.
