Discussion

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.

If an interface is no longer used, the configuration must be deleted and the interface disabled. For sub-interfaces, delete sub-interfaces that are on inactive interfaces and delete sub-interfaces that are themselves inactive. If the sub-interface is no longer necessary for authorized communications, it must be deleted.

Check

Review the router configuration and verify inactive interfaces are disabled:

interface ethernet 1/1/11 disable !

If inactive interfaces are not disabled, this is a finding.

Fix

Disable inactive interfaces:

interface ethernet 1/1/11 disable !
