Background / Scenario

The router is a critical component in any network. It controls the movement of data into and out of the network and between devices within the network. It is particularly important to protect network routers because the failure of a routing device could make sections of the network, or the entire network, inaccessible. Controlling access to routers and enabling reporting on routers is critical to network security and should be part of a comprehensive security policy.

In this lab, you will build a multi-router network and configure the routers and hosts. Use various CLI tools to secure local and remote access to the routers, analyze potential vulnerabilities, and take steps to mitigate them. Enable management reporting to monitor router configuration changes.

The router commands and output in this lab are from a Cisco 1941 router using Cisco IOS software, release 15.4(3)M2 (with a Security Technology Package license). Other routers and Cisco IOS versions can be used. See the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of the lab to determine which interface identifiers to use based on the equipment in the lab. Depending on the model of the router, the commands available and output produced may vary from what is shown in this lab.

Note: Before you begin, ensure that the routers and the switches have been erased and have no startup configurations.

Instructor Note: Instructions for erasing switches and routers are provided in Lab 0.0.0.0.

Required Resources

  • 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)M2 image with a Security Technology Package license)
  • 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 or comparable) (Not Required)
  • 2 PCs (Windows 7 or 8.1, SSH Client, syslog server)
  • Serial and Ethernet cables as shown in the topology
  • Console cables to configure Cisco networking devices

Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings

In Part 1, set up the network topology and configure basic settings, such as interface IP addresses.

Step 1: Cable the network.

Attach the devices, as shown in the topology diagram, and cable as necessary.

Step 2: Configure basic settings for each router.

a. Configure host names as shown in the topology.

b. Configure interface IP addresses as shown in the IP Addressing Table.

c. Configure a clock rate for routers with a DCE serial cable attached to their serial interface. R1 is shown here as an example.

R1(config)# interface S0/0/0
R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000

d. To prevent the router from attempting to translate incorrectly entered commands as though they were host names, disable DNS lookup. R1 is shown here as an example.

R1(config)# no ip domain-lookup

Step 3: Configure OSPF routing on the routers.

a. Use the router ospf command in global configuration mode to enable OSPF on R1.

R1(config)# router ospf 1

b. Configure the network statements for the networks on R1. Use an area ID of 0.

R1(config-router)# network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R1(config-router)# network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

c. Configure OSPF on R2 and R3.

d. Issue the passive-interface command to change the G0/1 interface on R1 and R3 to passive.

R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# passive-interface g0/1

R3(config)# router ospf 1
R3(config-router)# passive-interface g0/1

Step 4: Verify OSPF neighbors and routing information.

a. Issue the show ip ospf neighbor command to verify that each router lists the other routers in the network as neighbors.

R1# show ip ospf neighbor

Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface
10.2.2.2          0   FULL/  -        00:00:31    10.1.1.2        Serial0/0/0

b. Issue the show ip route command to verify that all networks display in the routing table on all routers.

R1# show ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area 
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
       a - application route
       + - replicated route, % - next hop override

Gateway of last resort is not set

      10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks
C        10.1.1.0/30 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
L        10.1.1.1/32 is directly connected, Serial0/0/0
O        10.2.2.0/30 [110/128] via 10.1.1.2, 00:03:03, Serial0/0/0
      192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C        192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
L        192.168.1.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
O     192.168.3.0/24 [110/129] via 10.1.1.2, 00:02:36, Serial0/0/0

Step 5: Configure PC host IP settings.

Configure a static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for PC-A and PC-C as shown in the IP Addressing Table.

Step 6: Verify connectivity between PC-A and PC-C.

a. Ping from R1 to R3.

If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

b. Ping from PC-A, on the R1 LAN, to PC-C, on the R3 LAN.

If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot the basic device configurations before continuing.

Note: If you can ping from PC-A to PC-C you have demonstrated that OSPF routing is configured and functioning correctly. If you cannot ping but the device interfaces are up and IP addresses are correct, use the show run, show ip ospf neighbor, and show ip route commands to help identify routing protocol-related problems.

Step 7: Save the basic running configuration for each router.

Save the basic running configuration for the routers as text files on your PC. These text files can be used to restore configurations later in the lab.

Part 2: Control Administrative Access for Routers

In Part 2, you will:

  • Configure and encrypt passwords.
  • Configure a login warning banner.
  • Configure enhanced username password security.
  • Configure enhanced virtual login security.
  • Configure an SSH server on R1.
  • Research terminal emulation client software and configure the SSH client.
  • Configure an SCP server on R1.

Note: Perform all tasks on both R1 and R3. The procedures and output for R1 are shown here.

Task 1: Configure and Encrypt Passwords on Routers R1 and R3.

Step 1: Configure a minimum password length for all router passwords.

Use the security passwords command to set a minimum password length of 10 characters.

R1(config)# security passwords min-length 10
Step 2: Configure the enable secret password.

Configure the enable secret encrypted password on both routers. Use the type 9 (SCRYPT) hashing algorithm.

R1(config)# enable algorithm-type scrypt secret cisco12345

How does configuring an enable secret password help protect a router from being compromised by an attack?
The goal is to always prevent unauthorized users from accessing a device using Telnet, SSH, or via the console. If attackers are able to penetrate this first layer of defense, using an enable secret password prevents them from being able to alter the configuration of the device. Unless the enable secret password is known, a user cannot go into privileged EXEC mode where they can display the running config and enter various configuration commands to make changes to the router. This provides an additional layer of security.

Step 3: Configure basic console, auxiliary port, and virtual access lines.

Note: Passwords in this task are set to a minimum of 10 characters but are relatively simple for the benefit of performing the lab. More complex passwords are recommended in a production network.

a. Configure a console password and enable login for routers. For additional security, the exec-timeout command causes the line to log out after 5 minutes of inactivity. The logging synchronous command prevents console messages from interrupting command entry.

Note: To avoid repetitive logins during this lab, the exec-timeout command can be set to 0 0, which prevents it from expiring. However, this is not considered a good security practice.

R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# password ciscocon
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# login
R1(config-line)# logging synchronous

When you configured the password for the console line, what message was displayed?
% Invalid Password length – must contain 10 to 25 characters. Password configuration failed.

b. Configure a new password of ciscoconpass for the console.

c. Configure a password for the AUX port for router R1.

R1(config)# line aux 0
R1(config-line)# password ciscoauxpass
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# login

d. Telnet from R2 to R1.

R2> telnet 10.1.1.1

Were you able to login? Explain.
No. The transport input none command is set by default on the vty lines. A password would also need to be set before Telnet would be allowed.

What messages were displayed?
Trying 10.1.1.1 …
% Connection refused by remote host

e. Configure the password on the vty lines for router R1.

R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# password ciscovtypass
R1(config-line)# exec-timeout 5 0
R1(config-line)# transport input telnet
R1(config-line)# login

Note: The default for vty lines is now transport input none.

Telnet from R2 to R1 again. Were you able to login this time?
Yes. The vty lines have been configured to accept Telnet and a password has been set.

f. Enter privileged EXEC mode and issue the show run command. Can you read the enable secret password? Explain.
No. The enable secret password has been encrypted with the SCRYPT hash algorithm.

Can you read the console, aux, and vty passwords? Explain.
Yes. They are all in clear text.

g. Repeat the configuration portion of steps 3a through 3g on router R3.

Step 4: Encrypt clear text passwords.

a. Use the service password-encryption command to encrypt the console, aux, and vty passwords.

R1(config)# service password-encryption

b. Issue the show run command. Can you read the console, aux, and vty passwords? Explain.
No. The passwords are now encrypted.

At what level (number) is the default enable secret password encrypted?
9

At what level (number) are the other passwords encrypted?
7

Which level of encryption is harder to crack and why?
9, because the algorithm is stronger than 7. Type 9 (SCRYPT) is currently the strongest algorithm.

Task 2: Configure a Login Warning Banner on Routers R1 and R3.

Step 1: Configure a warning message to display prior to login.

a. Configure a warning to unauthorized users with a message-of-the-day (MOTD) banner using the banner motd command. When a user connects to one of the routers, the MOTD banner appears before the login prompt. In this example, the dollar sign ($) is used to start and end the message.

R1(config)# banner motd $Unauthorized access strictly prohibited!$
R1(config)# exit

b. Issue the show run command. What does the $ convert to in the output?
The $ is converted to ^C when the running-config is displayed.

Task 3: Configure Enhanced Username Password Security on Routers R1 and R3.

Step 1: Investigate the options for the username command.

In global configuration mode, enter the following command:

R1(config)# username user01 algorithm-type ?

What options are available?

md5 Encode the password using the MD5 algorithm
scrypt Encode the password using the SCRYPT hashing algorithm
sha256 Encode the password using the PBKDF2 hashing algorithm
Step 2: Create a new user account with a secret password.

a. Create a new user account with SCRYPT hashing to encrypt the password.

R1(config)# username user01 algorithm-type scrypt secret user01pass

b. Exit global configuration mode and save your configuration.

c. Display the running configuration. Which hashing method is used for the password?
Type 9 (SCRYPT) hashing algorithm.

Step 3: Test the new account by logging in to the console.

a. Set the console line to use the locally defined login accounts.

R1(config)# line console 0
R1(config-line)# login local
R1(config-line)# end
R1# exit

b. Exit to the initial router screen which displays: R1 con0 is now available, Press RETURN to get started.

c. Log in using the previously defined username user01 and the password user01pass.

What is the difference between logging in at the console now and previously?
You are prompted to enter a username as well as a password.

d. After logging in, issue the show run command. Were you able to issue the command? Explain.
No. It requires privileged EXEC level.

e. Enter privileged EXEC mode using the enable command. Were you prompted for a password? Explain.
Yes. Any new users that are created will still be required to enter the enable secret password to enter privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4: Test the new account by logging in from a Telnet session.

a. From PC-A, establish a Telnet session with R1. Telnet is disabled by default in Windows 7. If necessary, search online for the steps to enable Telnet in Windows 7.

PC-A> telnet 192.168.1.1

Were you prompted for a user account? Explain.
No. The vty lines were not set to use the locally defined accounts as the line 0 console was.

b. Set the vty lines to use the locally defined login accounts.

R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# login local

c. From PC-A, telnet to R1 again.

PC-A> telnet 192.168.1.1

Were you prompted for a user account? Explain.
Yes. The vty lines are now set to use the locally defined accounts.

d. Log in as user01 with a password of user01pass.

e. During the Telnet session to R1, access privileged EXEC mode with the enable command.

What password did you use?
The enable secret password, cisco12345.

f. For added security, set the AUX port to use the locally defined login accounts.

R1(config)# line aux 0
R1(config-line)# login local

g. End the Telnet session with the exit command.

Task 4: Configure the SSH Server on Router R1 and R3.

In this task, use the CLI to configure the router to be managed securely using SSH instead of Telnet. Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol that establishes a secure terminal emulation connection to a router or other networking device. SSH encrypts all information that passes over the network link and provides authentication of the remote computer. SSH is rapidly replacing Telnet as the remote login tool of choice for network professionals.

Note: For a router to support SSH, it must be configured with local authentication, (AAA services, or username) or password authentication. In this task, you configure an SSH username and local authentication.

Step 1: Configure a domain name.

Enter global configuration mode and set the domain name.

R1# conf t
R1(config)# ip domain-name ccnasecurity.com
Step 2: Configure a privileged user for login from the SSH client.

a. Use the username command to create the user ID with the highest possible privilege level and a secret password.

R1(config)# username admin privilege 15 algorithm-type scrypt secret cisco12345

Note: Usernames are not case sensitive by default. You will learn how to make usernames case sensitive in Chapter 3.

b. Exit to the initial router login screen. Log in with the username admin and the associated password. What was the router prompt after you entered the password?
The privileged EXEC (enable) prompt #. With a privilege level of 15, the login defaults to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 3: Configure the incoming vty lines.

Specify a privilege level of 15 so that a user with the highest privilege level (15) will default to privileged EXEC mode when accessing the vty lines. Other users will default to user EXEC mode. Use the local user accounts for mandatory login and validation and accept only SSH connections.

R1(config)# line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)# privilege level 15
R1(config-line)# login local
R1(config-line)# transport input ssh
R1(config-line)# exit

Note: The login local command should have been configured in a previous step. It is included here to provide all commands, if you are doing this for the first time.

Note: If you add the keyword telnet to the transport input command, users can log in using Telnet as well as SSH, however, the router will be less secure. If only SSH is specified, the connecting host must have an SSH client installed.

Step 4: Erase existing key pairs on the router.
R1(config)# crypto key zeroize rsa

Note: If no keys exist, you might receive this message: % No Signature RSA Keys found in configuration.

Step 5: Generate the RSA encryption key pair for the router.

The router uses the RSA key pair for authentication and encryption of transmitted SSH data.

a. Configure the RSA keys with 1024 for the number of modulus bits. The default is 512, and the range is from 360 to 2048.

R1(config)# crypto key generate rsa general-keys modulus 1024
The name for the keys will be: R1.ccnasecurity.com

% The key modulus size is 1024 bits
% Generating 1024 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK]

R1(config)#
*Dec 16 21:24:16.175: %SSH-5-ENABLED: SSH 1.99 has been enabled

b. Issue the ip ssh version 2 command to force the use of SSH version 2.

R1(config)# ip ssh version 2
R1(config)# exit

Note: The details of encryption methods are covered in Chapter 7.

Step 6: Verify the SSH configuration.

a. Use the show ip ssh command to see the current settings.

R1# show ip ssh

b. Fill in the following information based on the output of the show ip ssh command.

SSH version enabled: Version 2.0
Authentication timeout: Default is 120 seconds
Authentication retries: Default is 3 tries

Step 7: Configure SSH timeouts and authentication parameters.

The default SSH timeouts and authentication parameters can be altered to be more restrictive using the following commands.

R1(config)# ip ssh time-out 90
R1(config)# ip ssh authentication-retries 2
Step 8: Save the running-config to the startup-config.
R1# copy running-config startup-config

Task 5: Research Terminal Emulation Client Software and Configure the SSH Client.

Step 1: Research terminal emulation client software.

Conduct a web search for freeware terminal emulation client software, such as TeraTerm or PuTTy. What are some capabilities of each?

TeraTerm: This Telnet client provides VT100 emulation, selected VT200/300 emulation, TEK4010 emulation and Kermit, XMODEM, ZMODEM, B-PLUS, and Quick-VAN file transfer protocols. It also offers the ability to connect to SSH2 hosts, a built-in Web server for HTTP pass-through commands, and macro language abilities, including ODBC support, recurring commands, and directory-independent operation.
PuTTy: A free and open-source terminal emulator, serial console, and network file transfer application. It supports several network protocols, including SCP, SSH, Telnet and rlogin.

Step 2: Install an SSH client on PC-A and PC-C.

a. If the SSH client is not already installed, download either TeraTerm or PuTTY.

b. Save the application to the desktop.

Note: The procedure described here is for PuTTY and pertains to PC-A.

Step 3: Verify SSH connectivity to R1 from PC-A.

a. Launch PuTTY by double-clicking the putty.exe icon.

b. Input the R1 F0/1 IP address 192.168.1.1 in the Host Name (or IP address) field.

c. Verify that the SSH radio button is selected.

d. Click Open.

e. In the PuTTY Security Alert window, click Yes.

f. Enter the admin username and password cisco12345 in the PuTTY window.

2.6.1.2 Lab - Securing the Router for Administrative Access Answers 6

g. At the R1 privileged EXEC prompt, enter the show users command.

R1# show users

What users are connected to router R1 at this time?
You should see at least two users, one for your console connection and another for the SSH interface.

    Line       User       Host(s)            Idle       Location
   0 con 0                idle               00:00:00
*132 vty 0     admin      idle               00:00:33   192.168.1.3

h. Close the PuTTY SSH session window.

i. Try to open a Telnet session to your router from PC-A. Were you able to open the Telnet session? Explain.
No. The Telnet session fails because only SSH is enabled for the vty lines.

j. Open a PuTTY SSH session to the router from PC-A. Enter the user01 username and password user01pass in the PuTTY window to try connecting for a user who does not have privilege level of 15.

If you were able to login, what was the prompt?
Because user01 was not created with a privilege level of 15 (the default is level 1), the prompt is user EXEC (>).

k. Use the enable command to enter privilege EXEC mode and enter the enable secret password cisco12345.

Task 6: Configure an SCP server on R1.

Now that SSH is configured on the router, configure the R1 router as a secure copy (SCP) server.

Step 1: Use the AAA authentication and authorization defaults on R1.

Set the AAA authentication and authorization defaults on R1 to use the local database for logins.

Note: SCP requires the user to have privilege level 15 access.

a. Enable AAA on the router.

R1(config)# aaa new-model

b. Use the aaa authentication command to use the local database as the default login authentication method.

R1(config)# aaa authentication login default local

c. Use the aaa authorization command to use the local database as the default command authorization.

R1(config)# aaa authorization exec default local

d. Enable SCP server on R1.

R1(config)# ip scp server enable

Note: AAA is covered in Chapter 3.

Step 2: Copy the running config on R1 to flash.

SCP server allows files to be copied to and from a router’s flash. In this step, you will create a copy of the running-config on R1 to flash. You will then use SCP to copy that file to R3.

a. Save the running configuration on R1 to a file on flash called R1-Config.

R1# copy running-config R1-Config

b. Verify that the new R1-Config file is on flash.

R1# show flash
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path

181047296 bytes available (75563008 bytes used)
Step 3: Use SCP command on R3 to pull the configuration file from R1.

a. Use SCP to copy the configuration file that you created in Step2a to R3.

R3# copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.1
Source username [R3]? admin
Source filename []? R1-Config
Destination filename [R1-Config]? [Enter]
Password: cisco12345
!
2007 bytes copied in 9.056 secs (222 bytes/sec)

b. Verify that the file has been copied to R3’s flash.

R3# show flash

end
Step 4: Save the configuration.

Save the running configuration to the startup configuration from the privileged EXEC prompt.

R1# copy running-config startup-config

Part 3: Configure Administrative Roles

In Part 3 of this lab, you will:

  • Create multiple administrative roles, or views, on routers R1 and R3.
  • Grant each view varying privileges.
  • Verify and contrast the views.

The role-based CLI access feature allows the network administrator to define views, which are a set of operational commands and configuration capabilities that provide selective or partial access to Cisco IOS EXEC and configuration (config) mode commands. Views restrict user access to the Cisco IOS CLI and configuration information. A view can define which commands are accepted and what configuration information is visible.

Note: Perform all tasks on both R1 and R3. The procedures and output for R1 are shown here.

Task 1: Enable Root View on R1 and R3.

If an administrator wants to configure another view to the system, the system must be in root view. When a system is in root view, the user has the same access privileges as a user who has level-15 privileges, but the root view user can also configure a new view and add or remove commands from the view. When you are in a CLI view, you have access only to the commands that have been added to that view by the root view user.

Step 1: Enable AAA on router R1.

To define views, be sure that AAA was enabled with the aaa new-model command in Part 2.

Step 2: Enable the root view.

Use the command enable view to enable the root view. Use the enable secret password cisco12345. If the router does not have an enable secret password, create one now.

R1# enable view
Password: cisco12345

Task 2: Create New Views for the Admin1, Admin2, and Tech Roles on R1 and R3.

Step 1: Create the admin1 view, establish a password, and assign privileges.

l. Issue the show run command to see the views you created. For tech view, why are the show and show ip commands listed as well as show ip interface and show ip interface brief?
All parts of the command must be listed for the more specific parameters to work.

Step 4: Save the configuration on routers R1 and R3.

Save the running configuration to the startup configuration from the privileged EXEC prompt.

Part 4: Configure IOS Resilience and Management Reporting

In Part 4 of this lab, you will:

  • Secure the Cisco IOS image and configuration files.
  • Configure SNMPv3 security using an ACL.
  • Using NTP, configure a router as a synchronized time source for other devices.
  • Configure syslog support on a router.
  • Install a syslog server on a PC and enable it.
  • Configure the logging trap level on a router.
  • Make changes to the router and monitor syslog results on the PC.

Note: Perform all tasks on both R1 and R3. The procedure and output for R1 is shown here.

Task 1: Secure Cisco IOS Image and Configuration Files on R1 and R3.

The Cisco IOS resilient configuration feature enables a router to secure the running image and maintain a working copy of the configuration. This ensures that those files can withstand malicious attempts to erase the contents of persistent storage (NVRAM and flash). This feature secures the smallest working set of files to preserve persistent storage space. No extra space is required to secure the primary Cisco IOS image file. In this task, you configure the Cisco IOS Resilient Configuration feature.

Note: Cisco IOS resilient configuration feature is not available on the Cisco 1921 router.

Note: The output of the commands in this Task are for example purposes only. Your output will be different.

Step 1: Display the files in flash memory for R1.

The show flash: command displays the contents of sub-directories. The dir command only displays contents of the current directory.

R1# show flash:
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path

256487424 bytes total (180221889 bytes free)
Step 2: Secure the Cisco IOS image and archive a copy of the running configuration.

a. The secure boot-image command enables Cisco IOS image resilience, which hides the file from the dir command and show The file cannot be viewed, copied, modified, or removed using EXEC mode commands. (It can be viewed in ROMMON mode.) When turned on for the first time, the running image is secured.

R1(config)# secure boot-image
.Feb 11 25:40:13.170: %IOS_RESILIENCE-5-IMAGE_RESIL_ACTIVE: Successfully secured running image

b. The secure boot-config command takes a snapshot of the router running configuration and securely archives it in persistent storage (flash).

R1(config)# secure boot-config
.Feb 11 25:42:18.691: %IOS_RESILIENCE-5-CONFIG_RESIL_ACTIVE: Successfully secured config archive [flash:.runcfg-20150211-224218.ar]
Step 3: Verify that your image and configuration are secured.

You can use only the show secure bootset command to display the archived filename. Display the status of configuration resilience and the primary bootset filename.

R1# show secure bootset
IOS resilience router id FTX1111W0QF

IOS image resilience version 15.4 activated at 25:40:13 UTC Wed Feb 11 2015

Secure archive flash:.runcfg-20150211-224218.ar type is config
configuration archive size 3293 bytes

What is the name of the archived running config file and on what is the name based?
Answers will vary but will in the following format: runcfg-20150211-254218.ar. It is based on the date and time archived by the secure boot-config command.

Step 4: Display the files in flash memory for R1.

a. Display the contents of flash using the show flash command.

R1# show flash:
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path

9         1410 Oct 26 2014 04:44:08 +00:00 pre_autosec.cfg

76265535 bytes available (180221889 bytes used)

Is the Cisco IOS image or the archived running config file listed?
No. They are hidden.

b. How can you tell that the Cisco IOS image is still there?
The bytes available and bytes used are approximately the same as before (minus the space taken by the archived running config file).

Step 5: Disable the IOS Resilient Configuration feature.

a. Disable the Resilient Configuration feature for the Cisco IOS image.

R1# config t
R1(config)# no secure boot-image
.Feb 11 25:48:23.009: %IOS_RESILIENCE-5-IMAGE_RESIL_INACTIVE: Disabled secure image archival

b. Disable the Resilient Configuration feature for the running config file.

R1(config)# no secure boot-config
.Feb 11 25:48:47.972: %IOS_RESILIENCE-5-CONFIG_RESIL_INACTIVE: Disabled secure config archival [removed flash:.runcfg-20150211-224218.ar]
Step 6: Verify that the Cisco IOS image is now visible in flash.

Use the show flash: command to display the files in flash.

R1# show flash:
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path
1     75551300 Feb 5 2015 16:53:34 +00:00 c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M2.bin

9         1410 Oct 26 2014 04:44:08 +00:00 pre_autosec.cfg

76265535 bytes available (180221889 bytes used)
Step 7: Save the configuration on both routers.

Save the running configuration to the startup configuration from the privileged EXEC prompt.

Task 2: Configure SNMPv3 Security using an ACL.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables network administrators to monitor network performance, mange network devices, and troubleshoot network problems. SNMPv3 provides secure access by authenticating and encrypting SNMP management packets over the network. You will configure SNMPv3 using an ACL on R1.

Step 1: Configure an ACL on R1 that will restrict access to SNMP on the 192.168.1.0 LAN.

a. Create a standard access-list named PERMIT-SNMP.

R1(config)# ip access-list standard PERMIT-SNMP

b. Add a permit statement to allow only packets on R1’s LAN.

R1(config-std-nacl)# permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
R1(config-std-nacl)# exit
Step 2: Configure the SNMP view.

Configure a SNMP view called SNMP-RO to include the ISO MIB family.

R1(config)# snmp-server view SNMP-RO iso included
Step 3: Configure the SNMP group.

Call the group name SNMP-G1, and configure the group to use SNMPv3 and require both authentication and encryption by using the priv keyword. Associate the view you created in Step 2 to the group, giving it read only access with the read parameter. Finally specify the ACL PERMIT-SNMP, configured in Step 1, to restrict SNMP access to the local LAN.

R1(config)# snmp-server group SNMP-G1 v3 priv read SNMP-RO access PERMIT-SNMP
Step 4: Configure the SNMP user.

Configure an SNMP-Admin user and associate the user to the SNMP-G1 group you configured in Step 3. Set the authentication method to SHA and the authentication password to Authpass. Use AES-128 for encryption with a password of Encrypass.

R1(config)# snmp-server user SNMP-Admin SNMP-G1 v3 auth sha Authpass priv aes 128 Encrypass
R1(config)# end
Step 5: Verify your SNMP configuration.

a. Use the show snmp group command in privilege EXEC mode to view the SNMP group configuration. Verify that your group is configured correctly.

Note: If you need to make changes to the group, use the command no snmp group to remove the group from the configuration and then re-add it with the correct parameters.

R1# show snmp group
groupname: ILMI                             security model:v1 
contextname: <no context specified>         storage-type: permanent
readview : *ilmi                            writeview: *ilmi                           
notifyview: <no notifyview specified>       
row status: active

groupname: ILMI                             security model:v2c 
contextname: <no context specified>         storage-type: permanent
readview : *ilmi                            writeview: *ilmi                           
notifyview: <no notifyview specified>       
row status: active

groupname: SNMP-G1                          security model:v3 priv 
contextname: <no context specified>         storage-type: nonvolatile
readview : SNMP-RO                          writeview: <no writeview specified>        
notifyview: <no notifyview specified>       
row status: active	access-list: PERMIT-SNMP

b. Use the command show snmp user to view the SNMP user information.

Note: The snmp-server user command is hidden from view in the configuration for security reasons. However, if you need to make changes to a SNMP user, you can issue the command no snmp-server user to remove the user from the configuration, and then re-add the user with the new parameters.

R1# show snmp user

User name: SNMP-Admin
Engine ID: 80000009030030F70DA30DA0
storage-type: nonvolatile active
Authentication Protocol: SHA
Privacy Protocol: AES128
Group-name: SNMP-G1

Task 3: Configure a Synchronized Time Source Using NTP.

R2 will be the master NTP clock source for routers R1 and R3.

Note: R2 could also be the master clock source for switches S1 and S3, but it is not necessary to configure them for this lab.

Step 1: Set Up the NTP Master using Cisco IOS commands.

R2 is the master NTP server in this lab. All other routers and switches learn the time from it, either directly or indirectly. For this reason, you must ensure that R2 has the correct Coordinated Universal Time set.

a. Use the show clock command to display the current time set on the router.

R2# show clock
*19:48:38.858 UTC Wed Feb 18 2015

b. To set the time on the router, use the clock set time command.

R2# clock set 20:12:00 Dec 17 2014
R2#
*Dec 17 20:12:18.000: %SYS-6-CLOCKUPDATE: System clock has been updated from 01:20:26 UTC Mon Dec 15 2014 to 20:12:00 UTC Wed Dec 17 2014, configured from console by admin on console.

c. Configure NTP authentication by defining the authentication key number, hashing type, and password that will be used for authentication. The password is case sensitive.

R2# config t
R2(config)# ntp authentication-key 1 md5 NTPpassword

d. Configure the trusted key that will be used for authentication on R2.

R2(config)# ntp trusted-key 1

e. Enable the NTP authentication feature on R2.

R2(config)# ntp authenticate

f. Configure R2 as the NTP master using the ntp master stratum-number command in global configuration mode. The stratum number indicates the distance from the original source. For this lab, use a stratum number of 3 on R2. When a device learns the time from an NTP source, its stratum number becomes one greater than the stratum number of its source.

R2(config)# ntp master 3
Step 2: Configure R1 and R3 as NTP clients using the CLI.

a. Configure NTP authentication by defining the authentication key number, hashing type, and password that will be used for authentication.

R1# config t
R1(config)# ntp authentication-key 1 md5 NTPpassword

b. Configure the trusted key that will be used for authentication. This command provides protection against accidentally synchronizing the device to a time source that is not trusted.

R1(config)# ntp trusted-key 1

c. Enable the NTP authentication feature.

R1(config)# ntp authenticate

d. R1 and R3 will become NTP clients of R2. Use the command ntp server hostname. The host name can also be an IP address. The command ntp update-calendar periodically updates the calendar with the NTP time.

R1(config)# ntp server 10.1.1.2
R1(config)# ntp update-calendar

e. Verify that R1 has made an association with R2 with the show ntp associations You can also use the more verbose version of the command by adding the detail argument. It might take some time for the NTP association to form.

R1# show ntp associations

address    ref clock    st  when  poll reach  delay  offset   disp

g. Issue the undebug all or the no debug ntp all command to turn off debugging.

R1# undebug all

h. Verify the time on R1 after it has made an association with R2.

R1# show clock
*20:12:24.859 UTC Wed Dec 17 2014

Task 4: Configure syslog Support on R1 and PC-A.

Step 1: Install the syslog server.

Free or trial versions of syslog server can be downloaded from the Internet. Use a web browser to search for “free windows syslog server” and refer to the software documentation for more information. Your instructor may also recommend a suitable syslog server for classroom use.

If a syslog server is not currently installed on the host, download a syslog server and install it on PC-A. If it is already installed, go to Step 2.

Step 2: Configure R1 to log messages to the syslog server using the CLI.

a. Start the syslog server.

b. Verify that you have connectivity between R1 and PC-A by pinging the R1 G0/1 interface IP address 192.168.1.1. If it is not successful, troubleshoot as necessary before continuing.

c. NTP was configured in Task 2 to synchronize the time on the network. Displaying the correct time and date in syslog messages is vital when using syslog to monitor a network. If the correct time and date of a message is not known, it can be difficult to determine what network event caused the message.

Verify that the timestamp service for logging is enabled on the router using the show run command. Use the following command if the timestamp service is not enabled.

R1(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec

d. Configure the syslog service on the router to send syslog messages to the syslog server.

R1(config)# logging host 192.168.1.3
Step 3: Configure the logging severity level on R1.

Logging traps can be set to support the logging function. A trap is a threshold that when reached, triggers a log message. The level of logging messages can be adjusted to allow the administrator to determine what kinds of messages are sent to the syslog server. Routers support different levels of logging. The eight levels range from 0 (emergencies), indicating that the system is unstable, to 7 (debugging), which sends messages that include router information.

Note: The default level for syslog is 6, informational logging. The default for console and monitor logging is 7, debugging.

a. Use the logging trap command to determine the options for the command and the various trap levels available.

R1(config)# logging trap ?
<0-7>          Logging severity level
alerts         Immediate action needed           (severity=1)
critical       Critical conditions               (severity=2)
debugging      Debugging messages                (severity=7)
emergencies    System is unusable                (severity=0)
errors         Error conditions                  (severity=3)
informational  Informational messages            (severity=6)
notifications  Normal but significant conditions (severity=5)
warnings       Warning conditions                (severity=4)
<cr>

b. Define the level of severity for messages sent to the syslog server. To configure the severity levels, use either the keyword or the severity level number (0–7).

Severity Level Keyword Meaning
0 emergencies System is unusable
1 alerts Immediate action   required
2 critical Critical   conditions
3 errors Error conditions
4 warnings Warning   conditions
5 notifications Normal but   significant condition
6 informational Informational   messages
7 debugging Debugging   messages

Note: The severity level includes the level specified and anything with a lower severity number. For example, if you set the level to 4, or use the keyword warnings, you capture messages with severity level 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0.

c. Use the logging trap command to set the severity level for R1.

R1(config)# logging trap warnings

d. What is the problem with setting the level of severity too high or too low?
Setting it too high (lowest level number) could generate logs that missed some very useful but not critical messages. Setting it too low (highest level number) could generate a large number of messages and fill up the logs with unnecessary information.

e. If the command logging trap critical were issued, which severity levels of messages would be logged?
Emergencies, alerts, and critical messages.

Step 4: Display the current status of logging for R1.

Use the show logging command to see the type and level of logging enabled.

R1# show logging

Part 5: Securing the Control Plane

In Part 5 of this lab, you will do as follows:

  • Configure OSPF routing protocol authentication using SHA256.
  • Verify that OSPF routing protocol authentication is working.

Task 1: Configure OSPF Routing Protocol Authentication using SHA256 Hashing.

Step 1: Configure a key chain on all three routers.

a. Assign a key chain name and number.

R1(config)# key chain NetAcad
R1(config-keychain)# key 1

b. Assign the authentication key string.

R1(config-keychain-key)# key-string CCNASkeystring

c. Configure the encryption algorithm to be used for authentication, use SHA256 encryption.

R1(config-keychain-key)#cryptographic-algorithm hmac-sha-256
Step 2: Configure the serial interfaces to use OSPF authentication.

a. Use the ip ospf authentication command to assign the key-chain to the serial interface on R1 and R3.

R1(config)# interface s0/0/0
R1(config-if)# ip ospf authentication key-chain NetAcad
R1(config)#
Feb 17 21:24:45.309: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.2.2.2 on Serial0/0/0 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired

*Feb 17 21:23:14.078: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 10.2.2.2 on Serial0/0/1 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired

b. Use the ip ospf authentication command to assign the key-chain to both serial interfaces on R2.

R2(config)# interface s0/0/0
R2(config-if)# ip ospf authentication key-chain NetAcad
R2(config)# interface serial 0/0/1
R2(config-if)# ip ospf authentication key-chain NetAcad
R2(config-if)#
Feb 17 21:36:25.114: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.1.1 on Serial0/0/0 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done
Feb 17 21:36:30.686: %OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 192.168.3.1 on Serial0/0/1 from LOADING to FULL, Loading Done
Step 3: Verify OSPF Routing and Authentication is Correct.

a. Issue the show ip ospf interface command to verify that Authentication Key has been assigned to the serial interfaces on all routers.

R1# show ip ospf interface s0/0/0

d. Use the ping command to verify connectivity between PC-A and PC-C.

If the pings are not successful, troubleshoot before continuing.

Part 6: Configure Automated Security Features

In Part 6 of this lab, you will do as follows:

  • Use AutoSecure to secure R3.
  • Review router security configurations with CLI.

Task 1: Use AutoSecure to Secure R3.

By using a single command in CLI mode, the AutoSecure feature allows you to disable common IP services that can be exploited for network attacks. It can also enable IP services and features that can aid in the defense of a network when under attack. AutoSecure simplifies the security configuration of a router and hardens the router configuration.

Step 1: Use the AutoSecure Cisco IOS feature.

a. Enter privileged EXEC mode using the enable command.

b. Issue the auto secure command on R3 to lock down the router. R2 represents an ISP router, so assume that R3 S0/0/1 is connected to the Internet when prompted by the AutoSecure questions. Respond to the AutoSecure questions as shown in the following output. The responses are bolded.

R3# auto secure
                 --- AutoSecure Configuration ---

*** AutoSecure configuration enhances the security of
the router, but it will not make it absolutely resistant
to all security attacks ***

AutoSecure will modify the configuration of your device.
All configuration changes will be shown. For a detailed
explanation of how the configuration changes enhance security
and any possible side effects, please refer to Cisco.com for
Autosecure documentation.

Note: The questions asked and the output may vary depend on the features on the IOS image and device.

Step 2: Establish an SSH connection from PC-C to R3.

a. Start PuTTy or another SSH client, and log in with the admin account and password cisco12345 created when AutoSecure was run. Enter the IP address of the R3 G0/1 interface 168.3.1.

b. Because SSH was configured using AutoSecure on R3, you will receive a PuTTY security warning. Click Yes to connect anyway.

c. Enter privileged EXEC mode, and verify the R3 configuration using the show run

d. Issue the show flash Is there a file that might be related to AutoSecure, and if so what is its name and when was it created?
Yes. The filename is pre_autosec.cfg. It is a backup file that was created when AutoSecure ran.

e. Issue the command more flash:pre_autosec.cfg. What are the contents of this file, and what is its purpose?

This file is a saved file that contains the R3 configuration before AutoSecure ran.

f. How would you restore this file if AutoSecure did not produce the desired results?Copy this file from flash to startup-config using the command copy flash:pre_autosec.cfg start and issue the reload command to restart the router.

Step 3: Contrast the AutoSecure-generated configuration of R3 with the manual configuration of R1.

a. What security-related configuration changes were performed on R3 by AutoSecure that were not performed in previous sections of the lab on R1?
Answers will vary but could include: AutoSecure enables AAA and creates a named authentication list (local_auth). Console, AUX, and vty logins are set up for local authentication. The security authentication failure rate 10 log command was added. The tcp intercept feature was enabled, ip http server was disabled, cdp was disabled, security passwords min-length was changed from 8 to 6. Logging trap debugging was enabled. Other minor but potentially exploitable services were disabled. An enable password was created. Logging buffered and logging console critical were enabled.

b. What security-related configuration changes were performed in previous sections of the lab that were not performed by AutoSecure?
Answers will vary but could include: Telnet access was excluded from vty transport input. Additional accounts were created.

c. Identify at least five unneeded services that were locked down by AutoSecure and at least three security measures applied to each interface.

Note: Some of the services listed as being disabled in the AutoSecure output above might not appear in the show running-config output because they are already disabled by default for this router and Cisco IOS version.

Services disabled include:

no service finger
no service pad
no service udp-small-servers
no service tcp-small-servers
no cdp run
no ip bootp server
no ip http server
no ip finger
no ip source-route
no ip gratuitous-arps
no ip identd

For each interface, the following were disabled:

no ip redirects
no ip proxy-arp
no ip unreachables
no ip directed-broadcast
no ip mask-reply
Step 4: Test connectivity.

Ping from PC-A on the R1 LAN to PC-C on the router R3 LAN. If pings from PC-A to PC-C are not successful, troubleshoot before continuing.

Reflection

1. Explain the importance of securing router access and monitoring network devices.
Answers will vary but it should be clear after this lab that there are many potential vulnerabilities for routers that can be exploited. Securing these devices is a very important part of a network administrator’s job and the security policy of an organization.

2. What advantages does SSH have over Telnet?
SSH encrypts all data and is much more secure than Telnet. Telnet data is transmitted in clear text, so password information can easily be compromised.

3. How scalable is setting up usernames and using the local database for authentication?
Because usernames would need to be set up on each device, using the local router database for authentication does not scale well. AAA with an external centralized server is a much more scalable solution. AAA is covered in detail in Chapter 3.

4. Why it is better to have centralized logging servers rather than to have the routers only log locally?
It is better to use centralized logging servers because it is much easier to manage and track events. In larger organizations it is almost impossible to keep track of the events of every individual router without having a centralized way to view information.

5. What are some advantages to using AutoSecure?
This tool can catch security vulnerabilities that many network administrators might overlook or be unaware of. It can lock down a router much faster than entering one command at a time and the tools result in less potential for entry errors. Also, the tool avoids the need to use complex Cisco IOS commands and procedures.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
