Title
The system must not be running any routing protocol daemons, unless the system is a router. (Cat II impact)
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. # ps -ef | egrep '(ospf|route|bgp|zebra|quagga)' If any routing protocol daemons are listed, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Disable any routing protocol daemons.
