Description
The management network must still have its own subnet in order to enforce control and access boundaries provided by Layer 3 network nodes such as routers and firewalls. Management traffic between the managed network elements and the management network is routed via the same links and nodes as that used for production or operational traffic. Safeguards must be implemented to ensure that the management traffic does not leak past the managed network’s premise equipment such as using egress ACLs.

The gateway router of the managed network must be configured with an ACL or filter on the egress interface to block all outbound management traffic. Review router configuration to verify that any traffic destined to the management network is blocked. The configuration example below is blocking all traffic with a destination address from the 10/8 prefix which is being used as the address block for the management network.
