V-243215
|
Medium |
The network device must not be configured to have any feature enabled that calls home to the vendor. |
Call-home services will routinely send data such as configuration and diagnostic information to the vendor for routine or emergency analysis and troubleshooting. There is a risk that transmission of sensitive data sent to unauthorized persons could result in data loss or downtime due to an attack. (See SRG-NET-000131-RTR-000083.) |

V-243214
|
Medium |
The network device must be configured to only permit management traffic that ingresses and egresses the out-of-band management (OOBM) interface. |
The OOBM access switch will connect to the management interface of the managed network elements. The management interface can be a true OOBM interface or a standard interface functioning as the management interface. In either case, the management interface of the managed network element will be directly connected to the... |

DoD Components providing guest WLAN access (internet access only) must use separate WLAN or logical segmentation of the enterprise WLAN (e.g., separate service set identifier [SSID] and virtual LAN) or DoD network. |
The purpose of the Guest WLAN network is to provide WLAN services to authorized site guests. Guests, by definition, are not authorized access to the enterprise network. If the guest WLAN is not installed correctly, unauthorized access to the enterprise wireless and/or wired network could be obtained. |

V-243212
|
Medium |
The WLAN access point must be configured for Wi-Fi Alliance WPA2 or WPA3 security. |
The Wi-Fi Alliance's WPA2/WPA3 certification provides assurance that the device has adequate security functionality and can implement the IEEE 802.11i standard for robust security networks. The previous version of the Wi-Fi Alliance certification, WPA, did not require AES encryption, which must be supported for DoD WLAN implementations. Devices without any... |

V-243210
|
Medium |
WLAN components must be FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 certified and configured to operate in FIPS mode. |
If the DoD WLAN components (WLAN AP, controller, or client) are not NIST FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 (Cryptographic Module Validation Program, CMVP) certified, the WLAN system may not adequately protect sensitive unclassified DoD data from compromise during transmission. |
|
V-243209
|
Medium |
WLAN components must be Wi-Fi Alliance certified with WPA2 or WPA3. |
Wi-Fi Alliance certification ensures compliance with DoD interoperability requirements between various WLAN products. |
|
V-243208
|
Medium |
The WLAN inactive/idle session timeout must be set for 30 minutes or less. |
A WLAN session that never terminates due to inactivity may allow an opening for an adversary to highjack the session to obtain access to the network. |
|
V-243211
|
Low |
WLAN signals must not be intercepted outside areas authorized for WLAN access. |
Most commercially available WLAN equipment is preconfigured for signal power appropriate to most applications of the WLAN equipment. In some cases, this may permit the signals to be received outside the physical areas for which they are intended. This can occur when the intended area is relatively small, such as... |

V-243207
|
Low |
WLAN SSIDs must be changed from the manufacturer's default to a pseudo random word that does not identify the unit, base, organization, etc. |
An SSID identifying the unit, site, or purpose of the WLAN or that is set to the manufacturer default may cause an OPSEC vulnerability. |
