Host must filter Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packets

SrednjaNivo 1Automatskavmware

Opis

To prevent cascading lockout of uplink interfaces from the ESXi host, the Net.BlockGuestBPDU parameter can be set to 1, enabling BPDU Filter to drop BPDU packets sent from virtual machines to the physical switch. This is crucial as ESXi's Standard and Distributed Virtual Switches do not support STP, making them prone to network loops if BPDUs are unfiltered. The audit reads Net.BlockGuestBPDU with esxcli and requires 1. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.

Kako se proverava

Metod provere: Komanda ljuske

shell

out=$(esxcli system settings advanced list -o /Net/BlockGuestBPDU 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
v=$(printf '%s\n' "$out" | awk '$1=="Int" && $2=="Value:" {print $3; exit}')
case "$v" in ''|*[!0-9-]*) echo '/Net/BlockGuestBPDU: no integer value'; exit 1 ;; esac
if [ "$v" -eq 1 ]; then echo compliant; else echo "/Net/BlockGuestBPDU = $v (expected 1)"; fi

Očekivani izlaz: compliant

Kako se ispravlja

Metod ispravke: Smernica ili zakrpa infrastrukture

From an administrative PowerCLI session: Execute - Get-VMHost | Get-AdvancedSetting -Name Net.BlockGuestBPDU | Set-AdvancedSetting - Value 1 -Confirm:$false. Validate network appliances/virtual switching workloads before enforcing this setting.
