Topology Diagram Requirements
Network Topology Diagram – this diagram depicts the network topology and security posture of the partner IS or network enclave that will be connecting to the DISN. The Network Topology Diagram should:
- Be dated
- Clearly delineate accreditation boundaries
- Identify the CCSDs of all connections to the DISN
- Identify equipment inventory (to include the most recent configuration including any enclave boundary firewalls, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), premise router, routers, switches, backside connections, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, encryption devices, Cross Domain Solutions (CDS).
- Other SIPRNet connections (access points) must be shown; the flow of information to, from, and through all connections, host IP addresses, and CCSD number, if known must be shown
- Identify any other IA or IA-enabled products deployed in the enclave
- Identify any connections to other systems/networks
- Identification of other connected IS/enclaves must include:
- The name of the organization that owns the IS/enclave
- The connection type (e.g., wireless, dedicated point-to-point, etc.)
- IP addresses for all devices within the enclave
- The organization type (e.g., DoD, federal agency, contractor, etc.)
- Identify Internetworking Operating System (IOS) version
- Include the model number(s) and IP's of the devices on the diagram; diagram must show actual and planned interfaces to internal and external LANs or WANs (including backside connections)
NOTE: It is important to note that in accordance with DoD and DISA guidance, firewalls, IDSs and Wireless-IDSs (where applicable) are required on all partner enclaves. Private IP addresses (non-routable) are not permitted on SIPRNet enclaves. Indicate and label all of the devices, features, or information; minimum diagram size: 8.5" x 11."
The IA and IA-enabled products must be in the DoD UC Approved Products List and can be found at the DISA APLITS web page: https://aplits.disa.mil.
NOTE: All topologies MUST include IP addresses and ranges. Click here to view an example of the NIPR/SIPR Enterprise Connection Division Topology.
