Discussion

To reduce any risk of a denial-of-service (DoS) attack from a rogue or misconfigured MSDP router, the router must be configured to limit the number of source-active messages it accepts from each peer.

Check Content

Check for SA filter on MSDP peer:

ICX#  show msdp peer x.x.x.x | include Input

        Input SA Filter:Applicable
        Input (S,G) route-map:MSDP_SA_filter
        Input RP route-map:None

If any configured MSDP peer is not configured to limit source-active messages using an inbound filter, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Create access-list to filter source-active multicast advertisements for any undesirable multicast groups and sources:

ip access-list extended in_MSDP_SA_filter
 sequence 10 deny ip any host 224.0.1.3
 sequence 20 deny ip any host 224.0.1.24
 sequence 30 deny ip any host 224.0.1.22
 sequence 40 deny ip any host 224.0.1.2
 sequence 50 deny ip any host 224.0.1.35
 sequence 60 deny ip any host 224.0.1.60
 sequence 70 deny ip any host 224.0.1.39
 sequence 80 deny ip any host 224.0.1.40
 sequence 90 deny ip any 232.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
 sequence 100 deny ip any 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
 sequence 110 deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any
