OS10-RTR-000140 - The Dell OS10 multicast router must be configured to bind a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) neighbor filter to interfaces that have PIM enabled.

Information

PIM is a routing protocol used to build multicast distribution trees for forwarding multicast traffic across the network infrastructure. PIM traffic must be limited to only known PIM neighbors by configuring and binding a PIM neighbor filter to those interfaces that have PIM enabled. If a PIM neighbor filter is not applied to those interfaces that have PIM enabled, unauthorized routers can join the PIM domain, discover and use the rendezvous points, and also advertise their rendezvous points into the domain. This can result in a denial of service by traffic flooding or result in the unauthorized transfer of data.

Solution

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Configure neighbor filters to only accept PIM control plane traffic from documented PIM neighbors. Bind neighbor filters to all PIM enabled interfaces.

Step 1: Configure an ACL that only permits documented neighbors.

OS10(config)# ip access-list PIM_NBR_FILTER
OS10(config-ipv4-acl)# permit ip 10.10.10.2/32 any

Step 2: Apply the ACL to the PIM interfaces.

OS10(config)# interface vlan 100
OS10(conf-if-vl-100)# ip pim neighbor-filter PIM_NBR_FILTER
