STIGQter: STIG Summary: Cisco IOS Router RTR Security Technical Implementation Guide Version: 3 Release: 4 Benchmark Date: 01 Oct 2025:

The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to not redistribute static routes to an approved gateway service provider into BGP, an IGP peering with the NIPRNet, or other autonomous systems.

Fix Recommendation

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN backbone.

Configure the router so that static routes are not redistributed to an approved gateway into either a BGP or any IGP peering with the NIPRNet or to any other autonomous systems. This can be done by excluding that route in the route-map as shown in the example below.

Step 1: Configure a prefix list for any static routes with the approved gateway as the next-hop address.

R5(config)#ip prefix-list ISP_PREFIX permit x.x.x.0/24

Step 2: Configure a route map that will deny the state routes to the ISP.

R5(config)#route-map FILTER_ISP_STATIC deny 10
R5(config-route-map)#match ip address prefix-list ISP_PREFIX
R5(config-route-map)#exit
R5(config)#route-map FILTER_ISP_STATIC permit 20
R5(config-route-map)#exit

Step 3: Apply the route-map to the IGP and BGP redistribute static commands as shown in the EIGRP example.

R5(config)#router eigrp 1
R5(config-router)#redistribute static route-map FILTER_ISP_STATIC

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN backbone.

Step 1: Review the IGP and BGP configurations. If there are redistribute static statements configured as shown in the examples below, proceed to step 2.

OSPF Example

router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
redistribute static subnets
network 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 area 0

EIGRP example

router eigrp 1
network 10.1.15.0 0.0.0.255
redistribute static

RIP example

router rip
version 2
redistribute static
network 10.0.0.0

BGP example

router bgp nn
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
redistribute static
neighbor x.11.1.7 remote-as nn
neighbor x.11.1.7 password xxxxxxx
no auto-summary

Step 2: Review the static routes that have been configured to determine if any contain the next hop address of the approved gateway.

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

Step 1: Review the IGP and BGP configurations. If there are redistribute static statements configured as shown in the examples below, proceed to step 2.

OSPF Example

RIP example

BGP example

router bgp nn

Step 2: Review the static routes that have been configured to determine if any contain the next hop address of the approved gateway.

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