Assessment Title
Rule Text
Switch Administration terminals do not connect directly to the switch administration port or connect via a controlled, dedicated, out of band network used for switch administration support.
Description
Discussion Text
Requirement: The IAO will ensure that switch/device administration terminals are connected directly to the administration port of the switch/device or are connected via an out-of-band network used only for administration support.
> Switch administration terminals must connect to the switch by using either a direct connection to the administration port or through a dedicated, out of band network. Connections other than these, for example through a non-dedicated network connection, will introduce security risks.
> The requirement to dedicate OAM&P / NM and CTI networks or LANS is to protect the particular solution from threats from sources external to the solution. Connecting these dedicated LANs to another LAN negates this protection.
