The ISSO/NSO will ensure the premise router does not have a routing protocol session with a peer router belonging to an AS (Autonomous System) of the AG service provider. A static route is the only acceptable route to an AG.

Description
The premise router will not use a routing protocol to advertise NIPRNet addresses to the AG. Most ISPs use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to share route information with other autonomous systems (AS), that is, any network under a different administrative control and policy than that of the local site. If BGP is configured on the premise router, no BGP neighbors will be defined as peer routers from an AS belonging to any AG. The only method to be used to reach the AG will be through a static route.

Review the configuration of the router connecting to the AG and verify that there are no BGP neighbors whose remote AS belongs to the AG service provider. Note: An Approved Gateway (AG) is any external connection from a DoD NIPRNet enclave to an Internet Service Provider, or network owned by a contractor, or non-DoD federal agency that has been approved by either the DoD CIO or the DoD Component CIO. This AG requirement does not apply to commercial cloud connections when the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) network is connected via the NIPRNet Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP).
