Lab 14
◦ Project due

Brief
overview

Your network is 152.8.0.0/16.

Everyone has the same IP address range


Any address that starts with 152.8 is
considered local.


A local network
Anything else is “outside”
Rules specify source and destination IP
addresses


Rules are for many types of interface
2 styles for IP
◦ Basic (in bound only from a source)
◦ Extended (in and out bound)

We’ll concentrate on the extended IP style

access-list number
{permit | deny}
[protocol]
{any | ipaddr mask | host ipaddr}
{any | ipaddr mask | host ipaddr}
[operator port | established]
[log]
◦
◦
◦
◦
Bold items are entered verbatim
[…] items are optional
{…} must be entered
| denotes “or”
◦ The command must be all on one line
access-list 111 permit tcp any host 152.8.1.10 eq 80

access-list
◦ All firewall configuration ACL commands start with this keyword

number
◦ A number typically between
 E.g. IP is 0-99 or 1300-1999, IPX is 100-199 or 2000-2699
 Think of it as the name of the list
 Number range implies type of protocol involved

permit or deny
◦ Whether to permit or deny this packet of information if
conditions match

protocol (optional)
◦ Type of protocol for this packet: IP, ICMP, SNMP, UDP or TCP
 If omitted, then this command pertains to all network traffic
regardless of protocol

Source Address
◦ Internet address of the sender of the packet
◦ Can be:
 any - This access command applies to packets from any source
 host ipaddr - Command applies to one particular computer
 IP address of the computer
 Dotted decimal format (i.e. 152.8.1.2)
 ipaddr mask – “sub-net” range affected
 IP network address of the packet's source
 Dotted-decimal format
 Followed by a mask (dotted-decimal format)
 When comparing the packet's source address, any address bit whose
mask bit is one is ignored
 152.8.12.47 0.0.255.255
 represents all IP addresses whose first 16 bits match

Destination Address
◦ Internet address of the network packet's destination
 Specified in the same three formats as the source address

Operator (optional)
◦ Applies to TCP or UDP ports only
◦ Indicates how the port number in the packet should be
compared
◦ If omitted, command applies for all ports





eq
lt
gt
neq
range
equal
less than
greater than
not equal
a range of ports
 Must specify two different port numbers
 est
established connections
 Allows packets to pass through the firewall from the
Internet if they are the response to a connection
established from within the intranet

Port (optional)
◦ TCP/UDP destination port number
◦ If omitted, command applies for all port numbers
◦ Port number must be specified if an operator is given

Log (optional)
◦ Whether to log this entry to the console

Commands are case insensitive
◦ Note: all access-list commands must fit on one line
◦ Comments can be included configuration
 Comments start with an exclamation point ( ! )

Examples:
◦ access-list 111 permit tcp any host 152.8.1.10 eq 80
 Permits any computer on the Internet to connect to the
computer whose
 IP host address is 152.8.1.1
 uses the TCP protocol
 port 80
◦ access-list 123 deny any 178.22.8.9 0.0.255.255
 This will prohibit any computer from accessing a computer on
the 178.22 domain using any protocol

When a packet arrives at your firewall
◦ it will be compared with each access-list statement
in the order they appear


The first statement that applies to that
packet determines if it is permitted or denied
For incoming traffic
◦ Implicit deny everything else at the end of the
access-lists

For outgoing traffic
◦ Implicit permit everything else at the end of the
access-lists

IP address format:

any


host 152.8.1.10


matches one IP address
152.8.1.1 0.0.255.255


matches anything
matches a (sub)network
Note: the Cisco netmask is backwards from what you're used to!


Called an inverse mask
0's mean "don't care"
access-list 101 deny tcp any 152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 80

Block all incoming TCP traffic to port 80


“any” is the source address
“152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255” is the destination.


In this case, it refers to any IP address that starts
with 152.8.
This blocks packets from entering your
network from outside

Protects your internal or rogue Web servers
access-list 101 deny tcp 152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 any eq 80
Block all outgoing TCP traffic to port 80
 “152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255” is the source
 “any” is the destination.
 block all packets from the local network to
the everything on port 80 outside

access-list 101 allow tcp any host 152.8.1.10 eq 80
access-list 101 deny tcp any 152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255 eq 80

Block all incoming port 80 traffic EXCEPT traffic to
our Web server




152.8.1.10

152.8.0.0 0.0.255.255
Second rule blocks packets from outside to all inside
A packet going to the Web server



First rule permits packets to the Web server
Matches the first rule and stops being processed
Packet allowed to go to the Web server
A packet going anywhere else


Doesn't match the first rule, so it gets caught by the second
rule
It is denied, or blocked

We don't want employees in a certain subnet
reading Reddit while at work. Block packets
from 152.8.100.0/24 to www.reddit.com
(72.246.25.35)
access-list 101 deny tcp 152.8.100.0 0.0.0.255 host 72.246.25.35

Note: we're only interested in IP addresses starting with
152.8.100, so the netmask is 0.0.0.255

The ACLs are for an interface
◦ E.g for a specific Ethernet port (plug)

For extended IP rules need ACLs:
◦ For the outward facing ports (the internet)
◦ For the internal ones

Each rule needs source and destination
addresses

The protocol for a service isn't always TCP



The number after “access-list” isn't important




DNS, for example, uses UDP
You can leave out the protocol entirely to operate on
all protocols.
Can use the same number for every rule
Should use a number for the type of rule
Any incoming packets not covered by a rule
are blocked by default
Any outgoing packets not covered by a rule are
allowed by default

•These Cisco IOS command modes are hierarchical.
•When you begin a router session, you are in user EXEC mode.
•You can see a list of available commands for a particular mode by entering a question
mark (?) at the prompt.

When the 850 is reset:
◦ Get a default UID of “cisco” and PW of “cisco”
◦ One time use only!
◦ Must create a new user for use next time
restart/login
 Otherwise will need to reset the router and start all
over again!

Minicom
◦ Don’t forget to turn line wrap on!


When first started or reset the Cisco 850
router does absolutely nothing
Must turn on and configure services
◦ Enable NAT
◦ Enable and configure DHCP
◦ Set up ACLs (Access Control Lists)

This lab will use Minicom to configure the
router through the serial port

Answer the questions and the items marked **
Work in pairs
When “fresh from the box” or reset:
◦ The router is a brick
 Does nothing
◦ Needs to be configured
 Includes new ID and PW

Optional:
◦ Turn in copy of lab with comments
 Only if errors or incomplete instructions
