The RUCKUS ICX Router must not be configured to use IPv6 Site Local Unicast addresses.

Rule version RCKS-RTR-001030 · STIG v1 · 2025-06-03

Discussion

As currently defined, site local addresses are ambiguous and can be present in multiple sites. The address itself does not contain any indication of the site to which it belongs. The use of site-local addresses has the potential to adversely affect network security through leaks, ambiguity, and potential misrouting as documented in section 2 of RFC3879. RFC3879 formally deprecates the IPv6 site-local unicast prefix FEC0::/10 as defined in RFC3513.

Check

Review configuration to verify site local unicast addresses (FEC0::/10) have not been defined.

If site local unicast addresses are defined, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the router to use only authorized IPv6 addresses.
