The network device must drop all inbound and outbound IPv4 and IPv6 packets being tunneled with outdated protocols.

Overview

Description
There are a number of outdated tunneling schemes that should be blocked to avoid importing IPv6 packets. DoD IPv6 IA Guidance for MO3 (S0-C7-2) has identified the following to be blocked at the perimeter: Source Demand Routing Protocol (SDRP) AX.25 IP-within-IP Encapsulation Protocol EtherIP protocol Encapsulation Header Protocol PPTP

Review the network device configuration and determine if filters are bound to the applicable interfaces to drop all inbound and outbound IPv4 or IPv6 packets with any of the following tunneling protocols: Source Demand Routing Protocol (SDRP) - protocol field value of 0x2A (42) AX.25 - protocol field value of 0x5D (93) IP-within-IP Encapsulation Protocol - protocol field value of 0x5E (94) EtherIP protocol - protocol field value of 0x61 (97) Encapsulation Header Protocol - protocol field value of 0x62 (98) PPTP - TCP or UDP destination port (0x06BB) 1723 The following example will block any IPv6 inbound packet using any of the outdated tunneling protocols as previously discussed: interface FastEthernet0/1 description DISN CORE facing ipv6 address 2001:1:0:146::4/64 ipv6 traffic-filter IPV6_INGRESS_ACL in ! … ! ip access-list IPV6_INGRESS_ACL deny 42 any any deny 93 any any deny 94 any any deny 97 any any deny 98 any any deny tcp any any eq 1723 deny udp any any eq 1723

Review the network device configuration and determine if filters are bound to the applicable interfaces to drop all inbound and outbound IPv4 or IPv6 packets with any of the following tunneling protocols:

Source Demand Routing Protocol (SDRP) - protocol field value of 0x2A (42)
AX.25 - protocol field value of 0x5D (93)
IP-within-IP Encapsulation Protocol - protocol field value of 0x5E (94)
EtherIP protocol - protocol field value of 0x61 (97)
Encapsulation Header Protocol - protocol field value of 0x62 (98)
PPTP - TCP or UDP destination port (0x06BB) 1723

The following example will block any IPv6 inbound packet using any of the outdated tunneling protocols as previously discussed:

interface FastEthernet0/1
