Description
If the static routes to the alternate gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to a NIPRNet gateway, this could make traffic on NIPRNet flow to that particular router and not to the Internet Access Point routers. This could not only wreak havoc with traffic flows on NIPRNet, but it could overwhelm the connection from the router to the NIPRNet gateway(s) and also cause traffic destined for outside of NIPRNet to bypass the defenses of the Internet Access Points.

Check Text ( C-56305r1_chk )
Review the configuration of the route connecting to the Alternate Gateway. Verify redistribution of static routes to the Alternate Gateway is not occurring. If the static routes to the Alternate Gateway are being redistributed into an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to a NIPRNet gateway, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-60609r1_fix)
Configure the router so that static routes are not redistributed to an Alternate Gateway into either an Exterior Gateway Protocol or Interior Gateway Protocol to the NIPRNet or to other Autonomous System.
