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.
This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to determine if it is configured to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets. Step 1: Verify that an inbound IPv6 ACL has been configured on the external interface. interface gigabitethernet1/0 ipv6 address 2001::1:0:22/64 ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6 in Step 2: Verify that the ACL drops undetermined transport packets as shown in the example below. ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6 deny ipv6 any any log undetermined-transport permit ipv6 … … … … deny ipv6 any any log If the router is not configured to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets, this is a finding.
Configure the router to drop IPv6 undetermined transport packets as shown in the example below. R1(config)#ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6 R1(config-ipv6-acl)#deny ipv6 any any undetermined-transport log R1(config-ipv6-acl)#permit ipv6 … … … … R1(config-ipv6-acl)#deny ipv6 any any log R1(config-ipv6-acl)#exit R1(config)#int g1/0 R1(config-if)#ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6 in
