The IAO/NSO will ensure IPv6 6-to-4 addresses with a prefix of 2002::/16 are dropped at the enclave perimeter by the ingress and egress filters.

Description
“6-to-4” is a tunneling IPv6 transition mechanism [RFC 3056]. The guidance is the default case, which assumes that 6-to-4 is not being used as an IPv6 transition mechanism. If 6-to-4 is implemented, reference addition 6-to-4 guidance defined in the STIG. Drop all inbound IPv6 packets containing a source address of type 2002::/16. This assumes the 6-to-4 transition mechanism is not being used. Drop all inbound IPv6 packets containing a destination address of type 2002::/16. This assumes the 6-to-4 transition mechanism is not being used.

Check Text ( C-22275r2_chk )
Review the device configuration to ensure filters are in place to restrict the IP addresses explicitly or implicitly. Verify that ingress and egress ACLs for IPv6 have been defined to deny 6-to-4 tunnel addresses and log all violations. source type: 2002::/16 If filters are not in place to deny 6-to-4 tunnel addresses, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-19237r2_fix)
Configure the device using filters to restrict IP addresses that contain any 6-to-4 addresses.
