The NSX-T Tier-1 Gateway Firewall must configure SpoofGuard to block outbound IP packets that contain illegitimate packet attributes.

Rule version T1FW-3X-000036 · STIG v1 · 2023-06-22

Discussion

If outbound communications traffic is not filtered, hostile activity intended to harm other networks may not be detected and prevented.

Check

From the NSX-T Manager web interface, go to Networking >> Segments, and for each Segment, view Segment Profiles >> SpoofGuard.

If a Segment is not configured with a SpoofGuard profile that has Port Binding enabled, this is a finding.

Fix

To create a segment profile with SpoofGuard enabled do the following:

From the NSX-T Manager web interface, go to Networking >> Segments >> Segment Profiles >> Add Segment Profile >> SpoofGuard.

Enter a profile name and enable port bindings, then click "Save".

To update a Segment's SpoofGuard profile, do the following:

From the NSX-T Manager web interface, go to the Networking >> Segments, then click "Edit" from the drop-down menu next to the target Segment.

Expand Segment Profiles, choose the new SpoofGuard profile from the drop-down list, and then click "Save".
