Discussion

If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or IGP to a NIPRNet gateway, this could make traffic on NIPRNet flow to that particular router and not to the Internet Access Point routers. This could not only wreak havoc with traffic flows on NIPRNet, but it could overwhelm the connection from the router to the NIPRNet gateway(s) and also cause traffic destined for outside of NIPRNet to bypass the defenses of the Internet Access Points. This requirement also applies to Zero Trust initiatives.

Check Content

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. 

Review the configuration of the router connecting to the alternate gateway and verify that redistribution of static routes to the alternate gateway is not occurring. 

If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into BGP or any IGP peering with a NIPRNet gateway or another autonomous system, this is a finding.

Fix Text

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Configure the router so that static routes are not redistributed to an alternate gateway into either an Exterior Gateway Protocol or IGP to the NIPRNet or to other autonomous systems.
