Discussion

ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems (i.e., other ISPs and corporate networks). If the perimeter router was configured to BGP peer with an ISP, NIPRnet routes could be advertised to the ISP; thereby creating a backdoor connection from the internet to the NIPRnet.

Check Content

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the configuration of the router connecting to the alternate gateway.

Verify there are no BGP neighbors configured to the remote AS that belongs to the alternate gateway service provider.

OS10# show running-configuration bgp

If there are BGP neighbors connecting the remote AS of the alternate gateway service provider, this is a finding.

Fix Text

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Configure the router such that there are no BGP neighbors configured to the remote AS that belongs to the alternate gateway service provider.

OS10(config)# router bgp 10
OS10(config-router-bgp-10)# no neighbor 120.100.5.2
