Fix Recommendation

Configure the switch to allow only incoming communications from authorized sources to be routed to authorized destinations.

SW1(config)#ip access-list extended FILTER_PERIMETER
SW1(config-ext-nacl)#permit udp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.21 eq ntp
SW1(config-ext-nacl)#end

Check Contents

Review the switch configuration to determine if the switch allows only incoming communications from authorized sources to be routed to authorized destinations. The hypothetical example below allows inbound NTP from server x.1.12.9 only to host x.12.1.21.

ip access-list extended FILTER_PERIMETER
permit tcp any any established
…
…
…
permit udp host x.12.1.9 host x.12.1.21 eq ntp
deny ip any any log-input

If the switch does not restrict incoming communications to allow only authorized sources and destinations, this is a finding.
