VVoIP core components use random address assignment via DHCP and are not statically addressed


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-19629 VVoIP 5230 (LAN) SV-21770r1_rule ECSC-1 Medium
Description
Assigning static addresses to core VVoIP devices permits tighter control using ACLs on firewalls and routers to help in the protection of these devices. NOTE: In the event DHCP is used for address assignment, ensure the DHCP server assigns the same address to the core VVoIP device each time one is requested.
