The HP FlexFabric Switch must be configured so inactive HP FlexFabric Switch interfaces are disabled.

An inactive interface is rarely monitored or controlled and may expose a network to an undetected attack on that interface. unauthorized personnel with access to the communication facility could gain access to a router by connecting to a configured interface that is not in use.

Review the network topology diagram and determine which HP FlexFabric Switch interfaces should be inactive.

If there are inactive HP FlexFabric Switch interfaces that are enabled, this is a finding.
