Check Text ( C-37168r3_chk )
Check for any running routing protocol daemons. If the system is a VM host and acts as a router solely for the benefits of its client systems, then this rule is not applicable. # chkconfig --list |grep :on|egrep '(ospf|route|bgp|zebra|quagga)' If any routing protocol daemons are listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-32420r1_fix)
Disable any routing protocol daemons.
