Discussion

One of the fragmentation weaknesses known in IPv6 is the undetermined transport packet. This packet contains an undetermined protocol due to fragmentation. Depending on the length of the IPv6 extension header chain, the initial fragment may not contain the layer four port information of the packet.

Check Content

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review configuration for the command below:

ipv6 deny-undetermined-transport any any

If the router is not configured to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets, this is a finding.

Fix Text

ICX(config)#ipv6 deny-undetermined-transport any any
