Note: Appropriate verification procedures should be taken after each configuration task to ensure
that it has been properly implemented.
Step 1: Configure Basic Device Hardening for the CORP Router.
a. Configure the CORP router to only accept passwords with a minimum length of 10 characters.
CORP(config)# security password min-length 10
b. Configure an encrypted privileged level password of ciscoclass.
CORP(config)# enable secret ciscoclass
c. Enable password encryption for all clear text passwords in the configuration file.
CORP(config)# service password-encryption
d. Configure the console port and all vty lines with the following requirements:
Note: CORP is already configured with the username CORPADMIN and the secret password
ciscoccnas.

use the local database for login

disconnect after being idle for 20 minutes.

CORP(config)# line consol 0

CORP(config-line)# login local
CORP(config-line)# exec-timeout 20 0
CORP(config-line)# line vty 0 4
CORP(config-line)# login local
CORP(config-line)# exec-timeout 20 0
CORP(config-line)# line vty 5 15
CORP(config-line)# login local
CORP(config-line)# exec-timeout 20 0
e. Disable the CDP protocol only on the link to the Internet router.
CORP(config)# interface s0/0/0
CORP(config-if)# no cdp enable

Step 2: Configure Secure Network Management for the CORP Router.

a. Enable the CORP router:

as an NTP client to the NTP/Syslog server

to update the router calendar (hardware clock) from the NTP time source

to timestamp log messages

to send logging messages to the NTP/Syslog server

CORP(config)# ntp server 172.16.25.2 key 0

CORP(config)# ntp update-calendar
CORP(config)# service timestamps log datetime msec
CORP(config)# logging host 172.16.25.2
b. Configure the CORP router to accept SSH connections. Use the following guidelines:

Note: CORP is already configured with the username SSHAccess and the secret
password ciscosshaccess.
domain name is theccnas.com

RSA encryption key pair using a modulus of 1024

SSH version 2, timeout of 90 seconds, and 2 authentication retries

all vty lines accept only SSH connections

CORP(config)# ip domain-name theccnas.com

CORP(config)# crypto key generate rsa
How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024
CORP(config)# ip ssh version 2
CORP(config)# ip ssh time-out 90
CORP(config)# ip ssh authentication-retries 2
CORP(config)# line vty 0 4
CORP(config-line)# transport input ssh
CORP(config)# line vty 5 15
CORP(config-line)# transport input ssh
CORP(config-line)# exit
c. Configure the CORP router with AAA authentication and verify its functionality:

AAA authentication using the local database as the default for console line and vty lines
access

CORP(config)# aaa new model

CORP(config)# aaa authentication login default local
CORP(config)# aaa authorization exec default local
CORP(config)# line vty 0 4
CORP(config-line)# login authentication default
CORP(config-line)# line vty 5 15
CORP(config-line)# login authentication default
CORP(config-line)# line con 0
CORP(config-line)# login authentication default

Step 3: Configure Device Hardening for Switch1.

a. Access Switch1 with username CORPADMIN, password ciscoccnas, and the enable secret
password of ciscoclass.
b. Enable storm control for broadcasts on FastEthernet 0/24 with a 50 percent rising suppression
level.
SW1(config)# interface fa0/24
SW1(config)# storm-control broadcast level 50
c. Configure Switch1 to protect against STP attacks.

Configure PortFast on FastEthernet ports 0/1 to 0/23.

Enable BPDU guard on FastEthernet ports 0/1 to 0/23.

SW1(config)# interface range fa0/1-23

SW1(config-if-range)# spanning-tree portfast
SW1(config-if-range)# spanning-tree bpduguard enable
d. Configure port security and disable unused ports.

Set the maximum number of learned MAC addresses to 2 on FastEthernet ports 0/1 to
0/23. Allow the MAC address to be learned dynamically and to shutdown the port if a
violation occurs.

SW1(config)# interface range fa0/1-23

SW1(config-if-range)# switchport port-security
SW1(config-if-range)# switchport port-security maximum 2
SW1(config-if-range)# switchport port-security violation shutdown
SW1(config-if-range)# switchport port-security mac-address sticky

Disable unused ports (Fa0/2-5, Fa0/7-10, Fa0/13-23).

SW1(config)# interface range fa0/2-5

SW1(config-if-range)# shutdown
SW1(config)# interface range fa0/7-10
SW1(config-if-range)# shutdown
SW1(config)# interface range fa0/13-23
SW1(config-if-range)# shutdown
SW1(config-if-range)# end
SW1# copy running-config startup-config
Step 4: Configure an IOS IPS on the CORP Router.
a. On the CORP router, create a directory in flash named ipsdir.
CORP# mkdir ipsdir
b. Configure the IPS signature storage location to be flash:ipsdir.

CORP(config)# ip ips config location flash:ipsdir/ retries 1

c. Create an IPS rule named corpips.
CORP(config)# ip ips name corpips
d. Configure the IOS IPS to use the signature categories. Retire the all signature category and
unretire the ios_ips basic category.
CORP(config)# ip ips signature-category
CORP(config-ips-category)# category all
CORP(config-ips-category-action)# retired true
CORP(config-ips-category-action)# exit
CORP(config-ips-category)# category ios_ips basic
CORP(config-ips-category-action)# retired false
CORP(config-ips-category-action)# exit
CORP(config-ips-category)# exit
Do you want to accept these changes? [confirm] [Enter]
e. Apply the IPS rule to the Fa0/0 interface.
CORP(config)# interface fa0/0
CORP(config-if)# ip ips corpips out
f. Modify the ios_ips basic category. Unretire the echo request signature (signature 2004, subsig
0); enable the signature; modify the signature event-action to produce an alert and to deny
packets that match the signature.
CORP(config)#ip ips signature-definition
CORP(config-sigdef)# signature 2004 0
CORP(config-sigdef-sig)# status
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-status)# retired false
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-status)# enable true
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-status)# exit
CORP(config-sigdef-sig)# engine
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-engine)# event-action produce-alert
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-engine)# event-action deny-packet-inline
CORP(config-sigdef-sig-engine)# exit
CORP(config-sigdef-sig)# exit
CORP(config-sigdef)# exit
CORP(config)# exit
Do you want to accept these changes? [confirm] [Enter]
g. Verify that IPS is working properly. Net Admin in the internal network cannot ping DMZ Web
Svr. DMZ Web Svr, however, can ping Net Admin.
Step 5: Configure ACLs and CBAC on the CORP Router to Implement the Security Policy.
a. Create ACL 12 to implement the security policy regarding the access to the vty lines:

Only users connecting from Net Admin and Admin PC are allowed access to the vty
lines.

CORP(config)# access-list 12 permit host 172.16.25.5

CORP(config)# access-list 12 permit host 198.133.219.35
CORP(config)# line vty 0 4
CORP(config-line)# access-class 12 in
CORP(config-line)# line vty 5 15
CORP(config-line)# access-class 12 in
b. Create, apply, and verify an extended named ACL (named DMZFIREWALL) to filter
incoming traffic to the DMZ. The ACL should be created in the order specified in the following
guidelines (Please note, the order of ACL statements is significant only because of the scoring
need in Packet Tracer.):
1. HTTP traffic is allowed to DMZ Web Svr.
2. DNS traffic (both TCP and UDP) is allowed to DMZ DNS Svr.
3. All traffic from 172.16.25.0/24 is allowed to enter the DMZ.
4. FTP traffic from the Branch administrator workstation is allowed to DMZ Web Svr.
CORP(config)# ip access-list extended DMZFIREWALL
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp any host 10.1.1.2 eq www
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp any host 10.1.1.5 eq domain
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit udp any host 10.1.1.5 eq domain
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip 172.16.25.0 0.0.0.255 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp host 198.133.219.35 host 10.1.1.2 eq ftp
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# exit
CORP(config)# interface fa0/0
CORP(config-if)# ip access-group DMZFIREWALL out
c. To verify the DMZFIREWALL ACL, complete the following tests:

Admin PC in the branch office can access the URL http://www.theccnas.com;

Admin PC can open an FTP session to the DMZ Web Svr with the username cisco and
the password cisco;

PCB1 cannot open an FTP session to the DMZ Web Svr.

Net Admin can open an FTP session to the DMZ Web Svr with the username cisco and
the password cisco; and

PC1 cannot open an FTP session to the DMZ Web Svr.

d. Create, apply, and verify an extended named ACL (named INCORP) to control access from
the Internet into the CORP router. The ACL should be created in the order specified in the
following guidelines (Please note, the order of ACL statements is significant only because of the
scoring need in Packet Tracer.):
1. Allow HTTP traffic to the DMZ Web Svr.
2. Allow DNS traffic (both TCP and UDP) to the DMZ DNS Svr.
3. Allow SSH traffic from the Branch Office administrator workstation to the Serial 0/0/0
interface on the CORP router.
4. Allow IP traffic from the Branch router serial interface into the CORP router serial interface.
5. Allow IP traffic from the Branch Office LAN to the public IP address range that is assigned to
the CORP site (209.165.200.240/28).

CORP(config)# ip access-list extended INCORP

CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp any host 209.165.200.241 eq www
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp any host 209.165.200.242 eq domain
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit udp any host 209.165.200.242 eq domain
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp host 198.133.219.35 host 209.165.200.226 eq 22
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip host 198.133.219.2 host 209.165.200.226
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip 198.133.219.32 0.0.0.31 209.165.200.240 0.0.0.15
CORP(config-ext-nacl)# exit
CORP(config)# interface s0/0/0
CORP(config-ifl)# ip access-group INCORP in
e. To verify the INCORP ACL, complete the following tests:

Admin PC in the branch office can access the URL http://www.theccnas.com;

Admin PC can establish an SSH connection to the CORP router (209.165.200.226) with
the usernameSSHAccess and password ciscosshaccess;

PCB1 cannot establish an SSH connection to the CORP router (209.165.200.226); and

External PC cannot establish an SSH connection to the CORP router (209.165.200.226).

f. Create and apply a CBAC inspection rule (named INTOCORP) to inspect ICMP, TCP, and
UDP traffic between the CORP internal network and any other network.
CORP(config)# ip inspect name INTOCORP icmp
CORP(config)# ip inspect name INTOCORP tcp
CORP(config)# ip inspect name INTOCORP udp
g. Enable CBAC audit messages to be sent to the syslog server.
CORP(config)# ip inspect audit-trail
CORP(config)# interface s0/0/0
CORP(config-if)# ip inspect INTOCORP out
h. Verify the CBAC firewall configuration.

PC1 can access the External Web Svr (www.externalone.com).

PC1 can establish an SSH connection to the External router with username SSHadmin
and passwordciscosshpa55.

Admin PC in the Branch office can establish an SSH connection to the CORP router with
the usernameSSHAccess and password ciscosshaccess.

Step 6: Configure a Zone-Based Policy Firewall on the Branch Router.

a. Access the Branch router with username CORPADMIN, password ciscoccnas and the enable
secret password of ciscoclass.
b. On the Branch router, create the firewall zones.

Create an internal zone named BR-IN-ZONE.

Create an external zone named BR-OUT-ZONE.

Branch(config)# zone security BR-IN-ZONE

Branch(config-sec-zone)# exit
Branch(config)# zone security BR-OUT-ZONE
Branch(config-sec-zone)# exit
c. Define a traffic class and access list.

Create an ACL (ACL 110) to permit all protocols from the 198.133.219.32/27 network to
any destination.

Branch(config)# access-list 110 permit ip 198.133.219.32 0.0.0.31 any

Create a class map using the option of class map type inspect with the match-all keyword.
Match the ACL 110 and name the class map BR-IN-CLASS-MAP.

Branch(config)# class-map type inspect match-all BR-IN-CLASS-MAP

Branch(config-cmap)# match access-group 110
d. Specify firewall policies.

Create a policy map named BR-IN-OUT-PMAP.

Use the BR-IN-CLASS-MAP class map.

Specify the action of inspect for this policy map.

Branch(config)# policy-map type inspect BR-IN-OUT-PMAP

Branch(config-pmap)# class type inspect BR-IN-CLASS-MAP
Branch(config-pmap-c)# inspect
e. Apply the firewall.

Create a pair of zones named IN-OUT-ZPAIR with the source as BR-IN-ZONE and
destination as BR-OUT-ZONE.

Branch(config)# zone-pair security IN-OUT-ZPAIR source BR-IN-ZONE destination BR-OUTZONE

Specify the policy map BR-IN-OUT-PMAP for handling the traffic between the two
zones.

Branch(config-sec-zone-pair)# service-policy type inspect BR-IN-OUT-PMAP

Assign interfaces to the appropriate security zones.

Branch(config)# interface fa0/0

Branch(config-if)# zone-member security BR-IN-ZONE
Branch(config-if)# interface s0/0/0
Branch(config-if)# zone-member security BR-OUT-ZONE
f. Verify the ZPF configuration.

The Admin PC in the Branch office can access the URLs http://www.theccnas.com and
http://www.externalone.com.
The Admin PC in the Branch office can ping the External PC (192.31.7.33).

External PC cannot ping the Admin PC in the Branch office (198.133.219.35).

The Admin PC in Branch office can establish an SSH connection to the CORP router
with the usernameSSHAccess and password ciscosshaccess. If you get the Corp> prompt,
then your configuration is correct.

Step 7: Configure a Site-to-Site IPsec VPN between the CORP router and the Branch
Router.

a. Configure an ACL (ACL 120) on the CORP router to identify the interesting traffic. The
interesting traffic is all IP traffic between the two LANs (209.165.200.240/28 and
198.133.219.32/27).
CORP(config)# access-list 120 permit ip 209.165.200.240 0.0.0.15 198.133.219.32 0.0.0.31
b. Configure the ISAKMP Phase 1 properties on the CORP router. The crypto ISAKMP policy is
10. Refer to the ISAKMP Phase 1 Policy Parameters Table for the specific details needed.
CORP(config)# crypto isakmp policy 10
CORP(config-isakmp)# encryption aes 256
CORP(config-isakmp)# authentication pre-share
CORP(config-isakmp)#group 2
CORP(config-isakmp)# lifetime 86400
CORP(config-isakmp)# hash sha
CORP(config-isakmp)# exit
CORP(config)# crypto isakmp key Vpnpass101 address 198.133.219.2
c. Configure the ISAKMP Phase 2 properties on the CORP router. Refer to the ISAKMP Phase 2
Policy Parameters Table for the specific details needed.

CORP(config)# crypto ipsec transform-set VPN-SET esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

CORP(config-crypto-map)# set peer 198.133.219.2
CORP(config-crypto-map)# set transform-set VPN-SET
CORP(config-crypto-map)# match address 120
d. Bind the VPN-MAP crypto map to the outgoing interface.
CORP(config)# interface s0/0/0
CORP(config-if)# crypto map VPN-MAP
CORP(config-if)# end
e. Configure IPsec parameters on the Branch router using the same parameters as on the CORP
router. Note that interesting traffic is defined as the IP traffic from the two LANs.
Branch(config)# access-list 120 permit ip 198.133.219.32 0.0.0.31 209.165.200.240 0.0.0.15

Branch(config-crypto-map)# match address 120
Branch(config-crypto-map)# exit
Branch(config)# interface s0/0/0
Branch(config-if)# crypto map VPN-MAP
Branch(config-if)# end
f. Save the running-config, then reload both CORP and Branch routers.
CORP# copy running-config startup-config
Branch# copy running-config startup-config
g. Verify the VPN configuration by conducting an FTP session with the username cisco and the
password cisco from the Admin PC to the DMZ Web Svr. On the Branch router, check that the
packets are encrypted. To exit the FTP session, type quit.
Thats all. Im not sure which version it this Packet Tracer Activity since its not mine. This
CCNA Security SBA contributed by Viktorcsn. Either its version 1.0 or version 1.1. However i
noticed that this SBA practice has been published and shared in some website. Im not sure if this
practice will be helpful to all of you guys, but i just try to spread it so that maybe someone that in
need may get this resource much easier.
So finally, thank you to Viktorcsn for the contribution. If you guys have latest version of CCNA
Security or anything to share that will benefits all of us, please do not hesitate to drop me an
email. Hope it will bring success to all of us.
Thank You
