JUEX-RT-000460 - The Juniper out-of-band management (OOBM) gateway must be configured to transport management traffic to the Network Operations Center (NOC) via dedicated circuit, MPLS/VPN service, or IPsec tunnel.

Information

Using dedicated paths, the OOBM backbone connects the OOBM gateway routers located at the edge of the managed network and at the NOC. Dedicated links can be deployed using provisioned circuits or MPLS layer 2 and layer 3 VPN services or implementing a secured path with gateway-to-gateway IPsec tunnels. The tunnel mode ensures that the management traffic will be logically separated from any other traffic traversing the same path.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

CE peering to CE (L2 VPN):
set interfaces <exterior interface> unit <number> family inet address <IPv4 address>/<mask>
set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address <IPv4 address>/32
set protocols ospf area <number> interface lo0.0
set protocols ospf area <number> interface <exterior interface>

CE peering to PE (L3 VPN):
set system host-name ce1
set interfaces <exterior interface>:<number> description 'Link from CE1 to PE1 for L3vpn'
set interfaces <exterior interface>:<number> unit <number> family inet address <IPv4 address>/<mask>
set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address <IPv4 address>/32
set routing-options router-id <ID>
set routing-options autonomous-system <AS #>
set protocols bgp group <name> type external
set protocols bgp group <name> export <policy name>
set protocols bgp group <name> peer-as <Peer AS #>
set protocols bgp group <name> neighbor <neighbor address>
set policy-options policy-statement <policy name> term 1 from protocol <protocol>
set policy-options policy-statement <policy name> term 1 from route-filter <subnet> <match criterion>
set policy-options policy-statement <policy name> term 1 then accept

Ensure that a dedicated circuit, MPLS/VPN service, or IPsec tunnel is deployed to transport management traffic between the managed network and the NOC.
