HP FlexFabric Switch must authenticate all endpoint devices before establishing a network connection using bidirectional authentication that is cryptographically based.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-66053 HFFS-L2-000003 SV-80543r1_rule Medium
Description
Controlling LAN access via 802.1x authentication can assist in preventing a malicious user from connecting an unauthorized PC to a switch port to inject or receive data from the network without detection.

Details

Check Text ( C-66697r1_chk )
Verify all access switch ports connecting to LAN outlets are configured for 802.1x or MAC authentication as shown in this configuration example.

802.1x example:

interface Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/4
port link-mode bridge
port access vlan 200
dot1x

If all access switch ports connecting to LAN outlets are not configured for 802.1x, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-72129r1_fix)
Configure 802.1 x authentications on all host-facing access switch ports. To authenticate those devices that do not support 802.1x, MAC Authentication Bypass must be configured.
