Configure the router to drop IPv6 packets containing an option type values of 0x8A (Endpoint Identification) regardless of whether it appears in a Hop-by-Hop or Destination Option header as shown in the example below.

R1(config)#ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#deny any any dest-option-type 138 log
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#permit ipv6 …



R1(config-ipv6-acl)# deny ipv6 any any log
R1(config-ipv6-acl)#exit
R1(config)#int g1/0
R1(config-if)#ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6
R1(config-if)#end

Check Contents

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the router configuration to determine if it is compliant with this requirement.

Step 1: Verify that an inbound IPv6 ACL has been configured on the external interface.

interface gigabitethernet1/0
ipv6 address 2001::1:0:22/64
ipv6 traffic-filter FILTER_IPV6 in

Step 2: Verify that the ACL drops IPv6 packets containing an extension header with the Endpoint Identification option as shown in the example below.

ipv6 access-list FILTER_IPV6
deny any any dest-option-type 138 log
permit ipv6 …



deny ipv6 any any log

If the router is not configured to drop IPv6 packets containing an extension header with the Endpoint Identification option, this is a finding.
