Information About Boot Integrity Visibility

Boot Iintegrity Visibility allows Cisco's platform identity and software integrity information to be visible and actionable. Platform identity provides the platform’s manufacturing installed identity. Software integrity exposes boot integrity measurements that can be used to assess whether the platform has booted trusted code.

During the boot process, the software creates a checksum record of each stage of the bootloader activities.

You can retrieve this record and compare it with a Cisco-certified record to verify if your software image is genuine. If the checksum values do not match, you may be running a software image that is either not certified by Cisco or has been altered by an unauthorized party.


Note

Boot Integrity Visibility is supported only on the active supervisor. It does not support high availability scenarios.

Verifying the Software Image and Hardware

This task describes how to retrieve the checksum record that was created during a router bootup. Enter the following commands in privileged EXEC mode.


Note

On executing the following commands, you might see the message % Please Try After Few Seconds displayed on the CLI. This does not indicate a CLI failure, but indicates setting up of underlying infrastructure required to get the required output. We recommend waiting for a few minutes and then try the command again.

The messages % Error retrieving SUDI certificate and % Error retrieving integrity data signify a real CLI failure.

  1. show platform sudi certificate [ sign [ nonce nonce]]

  2. show platform integrity [ sign [ nonce nonce]]

Verifying Software Integrity

The following example displays the checksum record for the boot stages. The hash measurements are displayed for each of the three stages of software successively booted. These hashes can be compared against Cisco-provided reference values. An option to sign the output gives a verifier the ability to ensure the output is genuine and is not altered. A nonce can be provided to protect against replay attacks.
