V-253992

CAT II (Medium)

The Juniper out-of-band management (OOBM) gateway router must be configured to have separate IGP instances for the managed network and management network.

Discussion

If the gateway router is not a dedicated device for the OOBM network, implementation of several safeguards for containment of management and production traffic boundaries must occur. Since the managed and management network are separate routing domains, configuration of separate Interior Gateway Protocol routing instances is critical on the router to segregate traffic from each network.

Check Content

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Verify that the OOBM interface is an adjacency in the Interior Gateway Protocol routing domain for the management network. Interfaces can only be assigned to one routing instance. 

[edit protocols ospf]
interface <interface name>.<logical unit>; << Cannot be assigned to a virtual routing instance.

[edit routing-instances]
<name> {
    instance-type virtual-router;
    protocols {
        ospf {
            area <area number> {
                interface <interface name>.<logical unit>; << Cannot be assigned to the default routing instance at [edit protocols].
            }
        }
    }
}

Note: If the same interface is assigned to the default routing instance and to a virtual routing instance, commit fails.

Some platforms support a routing-instance using the reserved name "mgmt_junos". On these platforms, configure the "mgmt_junos" instance and apply at the [edit system] hierarchy.
[edit system]
management-instance;

[edit routing-instances]
mgmt_junos {
    routing-options {
        static {
            route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop <next-hop address>;
        }
    }
}
Note: Not all platforms support routing instances.

If the router does not enforce that Interior Gateway Protocol instances configured on the OOBM gateway router peer only with their own routing domain, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the router to enforce that Interior Gateway Protocol instances configured on the OOBM gateway router peer only with their own routing domain.
