a. NAS Device Intra-Facility, Inter-facility Telecommunications and WAN IP Communications within the NAS Domain.
(1) Information System Owners (ISO) must use approved NAS IP addresses from the FAA pool as assigned by the CINP Group (includes public, private, and multicast IP addresses).
This applies to all system devices that exist within the NAS Domain and communicate via IP over any Local Area Network or WAN that are not physically isolated from all NAS shared IP Networking services [e.g., Telecommunications Infrastructure (FTI) Operational IP (OPIP) Network or NESG Demilitarized Zones (DMZ) environment]. Each NAS system device must use a unique NAS IP address from the assigned subnet(s) at the device location.
(2) ISOs for all existing NAS systems that contain devices that exist within the NAS Domain and currently use IP addresses that do not conform to this order, must migrate their system(s) to the approved IP addresses from the FAA pool as assigned by the CINP Group within one (1) year of the signature date on this order. NAS systems that do not comply with this order will have a Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) generated as part of their System Authorization package.
b. NAS Device IP Connectivity to Non-NAS Networks and Non-NAS Systems.
(1) For NAS Domain devices with IP connections to non-NAS Networks or non-NAS systems, ISOs must utilize approved internal and external NAS IP addresses from the FAA pool as assigned by the CINP Group (includes public, private, and multicast IP addresses).
(2) For NAS Domain devices with IP connections to non-NAS Networks or non-NAS Systems that do not conform to 5.b.(l), ISOs must migrate their device(s) to approved internal and external NAS IP addresses from the FAA pool as assigned by the CINP Group within one (1) year of the signature date on this order. ISOs must document via a POA&M how they will migrate their system to comply with this order. Systems that are not able to comply with this order within one (1) year must have an Authorizing Official Designated Representative (AODR) approved migration plan within one year of the signature date on this order.
c. NAS Systems with Devices Outside of the NAS Domain.
(1) ISOs for all NAS systems with devices that reside outside of the NAS Domain, such as the Mission Support Domain, must clearly identify those devices in the System Characterization Document (SCD) of the System Authorization/Annual Assessment Package.
The SCD must include, at a minimum, the following information for each device: (a) Device Locations(s); (b) IP Address (if Static) or Subnet Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol at each location; and (c) Statement indicating which FAA organization manages their IP addresses.
01/21/2014 JO 1370.117 d. IP Address Management Via a Centralized Enterprise NAS IP Address Management/Tracking System.
(1) NAS ISOs must perform an analysis of the current NAS IP address allocations as a baseline, and coordinate the baseline with the CINP group at 9-AJW-NAS IPAddressRequest@FAA.GOV.
(2) NAS ISOs needing IP addresses assigned must contact the CINP Group at 9-AJW NAS-IPAddressReqTjest@FAA.GOV.
(3) NAS ISOs who no longer need IP addresses must contact the CINP Group at 9-AJW NAS-IPAddressRequest@FAA.GOV so that the addresses can be placed back in the free pool of addresses.
(4) The CINP Group reserves the right to inventory/audit and continuously monitor the use of IP addresses via the OPIP network. NAS Information System Owners are required to allow these audits.
(5) The CINP Group reserves the right to reclaim unused NAS EP addresses in coordination with ISOs.
e. General NAS IP Addressing.
(1) The only public IP addresses permitted within the NAS Domain are from the FAA pool specifically assigned by the CINP Group.
(2) Use of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) reserved IP address ranges as specified in Requests For Comment (RFC) is not permitted. This order does not preclude use of special use IP addresses as defined in IETF RFC 5735.
(3) Use of Network Address Translation, Port Address Translation, and Port Forwarding by any programs in the NAS other than the FTI program, is not permitted without approval of the NAS AODR.
(4) Use of embedded IP Addresses in any NAS system software that prohibits migration of the system to NAS managed IP Addresses is not permitted.
