Information

When the production network is managed in-band, the management network could be housed at a NOC that is located remotely at single or multiple interconnected sites. NOC interconnectivity, as well as connectivity between the NOC and the managed network, must be enabled using IPsec tunnels to provide the separation and integrity of the managed traffic.

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

Solution

This requirement is not applicable for the DoDIN Backbone.

Ensure that all traffic from the managed network to the management network is secured via IPsec tunnel as shown in the configuration examples below.

Configure an IPsec tunnel to be used to transport the management traffic.

set policy IPSEC_POLICY proposals xxxxx
set ipsec security-association IPSEC_SA_MGMT mode tunnel
set ipsec security-association IPSEC_SA_MGMT dynamic ipsec-policy IPSEC_POLICY

Configure a filter that will select which traffic to be forwarded via the IPsec tunnel by specifying the security association bound to the tunnel.
