| Determine if the system is configured to forward source-routed IP packets. When correctly configured, if ip_forward_src_routed is disabled, the system is also configured to disable reverse source routing to TCP responses to source-routed packets. # ndd -get /dev/ip ip_forward_src_routed If the returned value is not '0', this feature is enabled and this is a finding. |

| Disable the IP source-routed forwarding feature. # ndd -set /dev/ip ip_forward_src_routed 0 Edit /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf and add/set: TRANSPORT_NAME[x] = ip NDD_NAME[x] = ip_forward_src_routed NDD_VALUE[x] = 0 |
