|
|
<div><p>This topic discusses security considerations for using
|
|
the Route Daemon (RouteD) server. RouteD, provides support for the Routing
|
|
Information Protocol on the system.</p>
|
|
<p>The Route Daemon (RouteD) server provides support for the Routing Information
|
|
Protocol (RIP) on IBM<sup>®</sup> Systems. RIP is the most widely used of routing protocols.
|
|
It is an Interior Gateway Protocol that assists TCP/IP in the routing of IP
|
|
packets within an autonomous system. </p>
|
|
<div class="p">RouteD is intended to increase the efficiency of network traffic by allowing
|
|
systems within a trusted network to update each other with current route information.
|
|
When you run RouteD, your system can receive updates from other participating
|
|
systems about how transmissions (packets) should be routed. Therefore, if
|
|
your RouteD server is accessible to a hacker, the hacker might use it to reroute
|
|
your packets through a system that can sniff or modify those packets. Following
|
|
are suggestions for RouteD security:<ul><li>IBM Systems
|
|
use RIPv1, which does not provide any method for authenticating routers. It
|
|
is intended for use within a trusted network. If your system is in a network
|
|
with other systems that you do not <span class="q">"trust,"</span> you should not run the RouteD
|
|
server. To ensure that the RouteD server does not start automatically, type
|
|
the following: <kbd class="userinput">CHGRTDA AUTOSTART(*NO)</kbd></li>
|
|
<li>Make sure that you control who can change the RouteD configuration, which
|
|
requires *IOSYSCFG special authority. </li>
|
|
<li>If your system participates in more than one network (for example, an
|
|
intranet and the Internet), you can configure the RouteD server to send and
|
|
accept updates only with the secure network.</li>
