| This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone. Review the router configuration to verify that Router Advertisements are suppressed on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces as shown in the example below. By default, router advertisements are disabled by Junos. Verify that there are no external-facing interfaces defined under the protocols router-advertisement hierarchy as shown in the example below. protocols { router-advertisement { interface fe-0/1/0.0 { prefix 2001:1:123::/64; } } } If the router is not configured to suppress Router Advertisements on all external IPv6-enabled interfaces, this is a finding. |
