CISC-ND-001470 - The Cisco router must be running an IOS release that is currently supported by Cisco Systems.

Information

Network devices running an unsupported operating system lack current security fixes required to mitigate the risks associated with recent vulnerabilities. Running a supported release also enables operations to maintain a stable and reliable network provided by improved quality of service and security features.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Upgrade the router to a supported release.
