Scenario

The network administrator has asked you to prepare RTA for deployment. Before it can be connected to the network, security measures must be enabled.

Requirements

  • Configure IP addressing on PCA according to the Addressing Table.
  • Console into RTA from the Terminal on PC-A.
  • Configure IP addressing on RTA and enable the interface.
  • Configure the hostname as RTA.
  • Encrypt all plaintext passwords.
    RTA(config)# service password-encryption
  • Set a strong secret password of your choosing.
  • Set the domain name to RTA.com (case-sensitive for scoring in PT).
    RTA(config)# ip domain-name RTA.com
  • Create a user of your choosing with a strong password.
    RTA(config)# username any_user password any_password
  • Generate 1024-bit RSA keys.
    Note: In Packet Tracer, enter the crypto key generate rsa command and press Enter to continue.

    RTA(config)# crypto key generate rsa
  • Block anyone for three minutes who fails to log in after four attempts within a two-minute period.
    RTA(config)# login block-for 180 attempts 4 within 120
  • Configure the VTY lines for SSH access and use the local user profiles for authentication.
    RTA(config)# line vty 0 4
    RTA(config-line)# transport input ssh
    RTA(config-line)# login local
  • Save the configuration to NVRAM.
  • Be prepared to demonstrate to your instructor that you have established SSH access from PCA to RTA.
