Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Encapsulation: PPPoE 4-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 If you are configuring an Ethernet interface, Cisco SDM inserts the description text $ETH-WAN$ in the configuration file so that it will recognize the interface as a WAN interface in the future. Encapsulation: PPPoE This window lets you enable Point-to-Point-Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) encapsulation. This is necessary if your service provider or network administrator requires remote routers to communicate using PPPoE. PPPoE is a protocol used by many asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) service providers. Ask your service provider if PPPoE is used over your connection. If you choose PPPoE encapsulation, Cisco SDM automatically adds a dialer interface to the configuration, and this is shown in the Summary window. Enable PPPoE Encapsulation If your service provider requires that the router use PPPoE, check this box to enable PPPoE encapsulation. Uncheck this box if your service provider does not use PPPoE. This check box will not be available if your router is running a version of Cisco IOS that does not support PPPoE encapsulation.

This password secures both incoming and outgoing access. Authentication Type Check the box for the type of authentication used by your service provider. If you do not know which type your service provider uses, you can check both boxes: the router will attempt both types of authentication, and one attempt will succeed. CHAP authentication is more secure than PAP authentication. Username The username is given to you by your Internet service provider or network administrator and is used as the username for CHAP or PAP authentication. Password Enter the password exactly as given to you by your service provider. Passwords are case sensitive. For example, the password cisco is not the same as Cisco. Confirm Password Reenter the same password that you entered in the previous box. Switch Type and SPIDs ISDN BRI connections require identification of the ISDN switch type, and in some cases, identification of the B channels using service profile ID (SPID) numbers. This information will be provided to you by your service provider.
Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Switch Type and SPIDs 4-10 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 ISDN Switch Type Choose the ISDN switch type. Contact your ISDN service provider for the switch type for your connection. Cisco SDM supports these BRI switch types: For North America: basic-5essLucent (AT&T) basic rate 5ESS switch basic-dms100Northern Telecom DMS-100 basic rate switch basic-niNational ISDN switches For Australia, Europe, and the UK: basic-1tr6German 1TR6 ISDN switch basic-net3NET3 ISDN BRI for Norway NET3, Australia NET3, and New Zealand NET3switch types; ETSI-compliant switch types for Euro-ISDN E-DSS1 signaling system vn3French ISDN BRI switches For Japan: nttJapanese NTT ISDN switches For voice or PBX systems: basic-qsigPINX (PBX) switches with QSIG signaling per Q.931 I Have SPIDs Check this check box if your service provider requires SPIDs. Some service providers use SPIDs to define the services that are subscribed to by an ISDN device that is accessing the ISDN service provider. The service provider assigns the ISDN device one or more SPIDs when you first subscribe to the service. If you are using a service provider that requires SPIDs, your ISDN device cannot place or receive calls until it sends a valid, assigned SPID to the service provider when the device accesses the switch to initialize the connection. Currently, only the DMS-100 and NI switch types require SPIDs. The AT&T 5ESS switch type may support a SPID, but we recommend that you set up the ISDN service without SPIDs. In addition, SPIDs have significance only at the local access ISDN interface. Remote routers never receive the SPID.
4-11 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Dial String A SPID is usually a 7-digit telephone number with some optional numbers. However, service providers may use different numbering schemes. For the DMS-100 switch type, two SPIDs are assigned, one for each B channel. SPID1 Enter the SPID for the first BRI B channel provided to you by your ISP. SPID2 Enter the SPID for the second BRI B channel provided to you by your ISP. Dial String Enter the phone number of the remote end of the ISDN BRI or analog modem connection. This is the phone number that the ISDN BRI or analog modem interface will dial whenever a connection is made. The dial string is provided to you by your service provider. Backup Configuration ISDN BRI and analog modem interfaces can be configured to work as backup interfaces to other, primary interfaces. In that case, an ISDN or analog modem connection will be made only if the primary interface goes down for some reason. If the primary interface and connection go down, the ISDN or analog modem interface will immediately dial out and try to establish a connection so that network services are not lost. Choose whether this ISDN BRI or analog modem connection should act as a backup connection. Note the following prerequisites: The primary interface must be configured for site-to-site VPN. The Cisco IOS image on your router must support the SAA ICMP Echo Enhancement feature.
Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Backup Configuration 4-12 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Backup Configuration: Primary Interface and Next Hop IP Addresses In order for the ISDN BRI or analog modem connection to act as a backup connection, it must be associated with another interface on the router that will act as the primary connection. The ISDN BRI or analog modem connection will be made only if the connection on the primary interface goes down. Primary Interface Choose the router interface that will maintain the primary connection. Primary Next Hop IP Address This field is optional. Enter the IP address to which the primary interface will connect when it is active, known as the next hop IP address. Backup Next Hop IP Address This field is optional. Enter the IP address to which the backup interface will connect when it is active, known as the next hop IP address. Backup Configuration: Hostname or IP Address to Be Tracked This screen lets you identify a specific host to which connectivity must be maintained. The router will track connectivity to that host, and if the router discovers that connectivity has been lost by the primary interface, a backup connection will be initiated over the ISDN BRI or analog modem interface. IP Address to be Tracked Enter the IP address or hostname of the destination host to which connectivity will be tracked. Please specify an infrequently contacted destination as the site to be tracked.
4-13 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Advanced Options Advanced Options There are two advanced options available, based on the routers configuration: Default static route, and Port Address Translation (PAT). If the Static Route option is not visible in the window, a static route has already been configured on the router. If the PAT option is not visible, PAT has already been configured on an interface. Default Static Route Check this box if you want to configure a static route to the outside interface to which outgoing traffic will be routed. If a static route has already been configured on this router, this box does not appear. Next Hop Address If your service provider has given you a next-hop IP address to use, enter the IP address in this field. If you leave this field blank, Cisco SDM will use the WAN interface that you are configuring as the next-hop interface. Port Address Translation If devices on the LAN have private addresses, you can allow them to share a single public IP address. You can ensure that traffic goes to its proper destination by using PAT, which represents hosts on a LAN with a single IP address and uses different port numbers to distinguish the hosts. If PAT has already been configured on an interface, the PAT option will not be visible. Inside Interface to be Translated Choose the inside interface connected to the network whose host IP addresses you want to be translated. Encapsulation In this window, choose the type of encapsulation that the WAN link will use. Ask your service provider or network administrator which type of encapsulation is used for this link. The interface type determines the types of encapsulation available.
Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Encapsulation 4-14 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Autodetect Click Autodetect to have Cisco SDM discover the encapsulation type. If Cisco SDM succeeds, it will automatically supply the encapsulation type and other configuration parameters it discovers.

4-15 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards PVC The encapsulations available if you have a serial interface are shown in the following table. PVC ATM routing uses a two-layer hierarchical scheme, virtual paths and virtual channels, denoted by the virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI), respectively. A particular virtual path may carry a number of different virtual channels corresponding to individual connections. When switching is performed based on the VPI, all cells on that particular virtual path are switched regardless of the VCI. An ATM switch may route according to VCI, VPI, or both VCI and VPI. VPI Enter the VPI value obtained from your service provider or system administrator. The virtual path identifier (VPI) is used in ATM switching and routing to identify the path used for a number of connections. Enter the VPI value given to you by your service provider. Encapsulation Description Frame Relay Provides Frame Relay encapsulation. This option is available when you have selected a serial interface. A serial subinterface will be created when you create a Frame Relay connection. This subinterfa will be visible in the Summary window. Note If a Frame Relay serial connection has been added to an interface, only Frame Relay encapsulation will be enabled this window when subsequent serial connections are configured on the same interface. Point-to-Point Protocol Provides PPP encapsulation. This option is available when you hav selected a serial interface. High Level Data Link Control Provides HDLC encapsulation.

This number must be unique among all DLCIs used on this interface. Use IETF Frame Relay Encapsulation Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) encapsulation. This option is used with connecting to non-Cisco routers. Check this box if you are connecting to a non-Cisco router on this interface. Configure Clock Settings The Clock Settings window is available when you are configuring a T1 or E1 link. The default Frame Relay clock settings are shown in this page. You should not change them unless you know you have different requirements. Clock Source Internal specifies that the clock be generated internally. Line specifies that the clock source be taken from the network. The clock synchronizes data transmission. The default is line. LMI Type Description ANSI Annex D defined by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard T1.617. Cisco LMI type defined jointly by Cisco Systems and three other companies. ITU-T Q.933 ITU-T Q.933 Annex A. Autosense The default. This setting allows the router to detect which LMI type is being used by communicating with the switch and to then use that type. If autosense fails, the router will use the Cisco LMI type.
Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Configure Clock Settings 4-18 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 T1 Framing This field configures the T1 or E1 link for operation with D4 Super Frame (sf) or Extended Superframe (esf). The default is esf. Line Code This field configures the router for operation on binary 8-zeros substitution (B8ZS) or alternate mark inversion (AMI) T1 lines. The b8zs setting ensures density on a T1 or E1 line by substituting intentional bipolar violations in bit positions 4 and 7 for a sequence of eight zero bits. When the router is configured with the AMI setting, you must use the data-coding inverted setting to ensure density on the T1 line. The default is b8zs. Data Coding Click inverted if you know that user data is inverted on this link, or if the Line Code field is set to AMI. Otherwise leave this set to the default value normal. Data inversion is used with bit-oriented protocols such as HDLC, PPP, and Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) to ensure density on a T1 line with AMI encoding. These bit-oriented protocols perform zero insertions after every five one bits in the data stream. This has the effect of ensuring at least one zero in every eight bits. If the data stream is then inverted, it ensures that at least one out of every eight bits is a one. Cisco SDM will set data coding to inverted if the line code is AMI and there are no time slots configured for 56 kbps. If you do not want to use inverted data coding with the AMI line code, you must use the CLI to configure all time slots to 56 kbps. Facilities Data Link (FDL) This field configures the router behavior on the Facilities Data Link (FDL) of the Extended Superframe. When configured with att, the router implements AT&T TR 54016. When configured with ansi, it implements ANSI T1.403. When you choose both, the router implements both att and ansi choices.When you choose none, the router ignores the FDL. The default is none. If T1 or E1 framing is set to sf, Cisco SDM will set FDL to none and make this field read-only.

The LBO decreases the transmit strength of the signal by 7.5 or 15 decibels. It is not likely to be needed on actual T1 or E1 lines. The default is none. Remote Loopback Requests This field specifies whether the router will go into loopback mode when a loopback code is received on the line. Choosing full causes the router to accept full loopbacks, while choosing payload-v54 will cause the router to choose payload loopbacks. Enable Generation/Detection of Remote Alarms Check this box if you want the router T1 link to generate remote alarms (yellow alarms) and to detect remote alarms being sent from the peer on the other end of the link. The remote alarm is transmitted by a router when it detects an alarm condition: either a red alarm (loss of signal) or a blue alarm (unframed 1s). The receiving channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU) then knows that there is an error condition on the line. This setting should only be used when T1 framing is set to esf. Delete Connection You can delete a WAN connection that appears in the Edit Interface/Connections window. This window appears when you are deleting an interface configuration, and when the connection you want to delete contains associations such as access rules that have been applied to this interface.

Test the connectivity after configuring Check this box if you want Cisco SDM to test the connection you have configured after it delivers the commands to the router. Cisco SDM will test the connection and report results in another window. To save this configuration to the routers running configuration and leave this wizard: Click Finish. Cisco SDM saves the configuration changes to the routers running configuration. The changes will take effect immediately, but will be lost if the router is turned off. If you checked Preview commands before delivering to router in the Cisco SDM Preferences window, the Deliver window appears. In this window, you can view the CLI commands that you are delivering to the router. Connectivity testing and troubleshooting This window allows you to test a configured connection by pinging a remote host. If the ping fails, Cisco SDM reports the probable cause and suggests actions you can take to correct the problem. Which connection types can be tested? Cisco SDM can troubleshoot ADSL, G.SHDSL V1 and G.SHDSL V2 connections, using PPPoE, AAL5SNAP or AAL5MUX encapsulation. Cisco SDM can troubleshoot Ethernet connections with PPPoE encapsulation. Cisco SDM cannot troubleshoot unencapsulated Ethernet connections, Serial and T1 or E1 connections, Analog connections, and ISDN connections. Cisco SDM provides basic ping testing for these connection types.
4-23 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Connectivity testing and troubleshooting What is Basic Ping Testing? When Cisco SDM performs basic ping testing, it does the following: 1. Checks the interface status to see if it is up or down. 2. Checks DNS Settings, whether they be Cisco SDM default options or user-specified hostnames. 3. Checks for DHCP and IPCP configurations on the interface. 4. Exits interface test. 5. Pings the destination. Cisco SDM reports the results of each of these checks in the Activity/Status columns. If the ping succeeds, then the connection will be reported as successful. Otherwise the connection is reported down, and the test that failed is noted. How does Cisco SDM Troubleshoot? When Cisco SDM troubleshoots a connection, it performs a more extensive check than the basic ping test. If the router fails a test, Cisco SDM performs additional checks so it can provide you with the possible reasons for failure. For example, if Layer 2 status is down, Cisco SDM attempts to determine the reason(s), reports them, and recommends actions you can take to rectify the problem. Cisco SDM performs the following tasks: 1. Checks interface status. If the Layer 2 protocol is up, Cisco SDM goes to step 2. If Layer 2 protocol status is down, Cisco SDM checks ATM PVC status for XDSL connections, or PPPoE status for encapsulated Ethernet connections. If the ATM PVC test fails, Cisco SDM displays possible reasons for the failure and actions you can take to correct the problem. If the PPPoE connection is down, there is a cabling problem, and Cisco SDM displays appropriate reasons and actions. After performing these checks, the test is terminated and Cisco SDM reports the results and suggests actions. 2. Checks DNS Settings, whether they be Cisco SDM default options or user-specified hostnames. 3. Checks DHCP or IPCP configuration and status. If the router has an IP address through either DHCP or IPCP Cisco SDM goes to step 4.
Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards Connectivity testing and troubleshooting 4-24 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 If the router is configured for DHCP or IPCP but has not received an IP address through either of these methods, Cisco SDM performs the checks in step 1. The test terminates and Cisco SDM reports the results and suggests actions. 4. Pings the destination. If the ping succeeds, Cisco SDM reports success. If the ping fails on an xDSL connection with PPPoE encapsulation, Cisco SDM checks: the ATM PVC status the PPPoE tunnel status the PPP authentication status After performing these checks, Cisco SDM reports the reason that the ping failed. If the ping fails on an Ethernet with PPPoE encapsulation connection, Cisco SDM checks: the PPPoE tunnel status the PPP authentication status After performing these checks, Cisco SDM reports the reason that the ping failed. If the ping fails on an xDSL connection with AAL5SNAP or AAL5MUX encapsulation, Cisco SDM checks the ATM PVC status and reports the reason the ping failed. IP Address/Hostname Specify the server name to ping to test WAN interface. Automatically determined by SDM Cisco SDM pings its default host to test WAN interface. Cisco SDM detects the router's statically configured DNS servers, and dynamically imported DNS servers. Cisco SDM pings these servers, and if successful pings exit through the interface under test, Cisco SDM reports success. If no pings succeeded, or successful pings were not found to exit the interface under test, Cisco SDM reports failure. User Specified Specify the IP address of hostname of your choice for testing WAN interface.

Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards How Do I... 4-30 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 How Do I Configure Dial-on-Demand Routing for My ISDN or Asynchronous Interface? ISDN BRI and asynchronous connections are dial-up connections, meaning that in order to establish a connection, the router must dial a preconfigured phone number. Because the cost of these types of connections is usually determined by the amount of time that a connection was established, and in the case of an asynchronous connection, that a phone line will be tied up, it is often desirable to configure Dial-on-Demand Routing (DDR) for these connection types. Cisco SDM can help you configure DDR by: Letting you associate a rule (or ACL) with the connection, which causes the router to establish the connection only when it recognizes network traffic that you have identified as interesting with the associated rule. Setting idle timeouts, which cause the router to end a connection after a specified amount of time when there is no activity on the connection. Enabling multilink PPP, which causes an ISDN BRI connection to use only one of the two B channels unless a specified percentage of bandwidth is exceeded on the first B channel. This has the advantage of saving costs when network traffic is low and the second B channel is not needed, but letting you utilize the full bandwidth of your ISDN BRI connection when needed. To configure DDR on an existing ISDN BRI or asynchronous connection: Step 1 Click Configure on the Cisco SDM toolbar. Step 2 Click Interfaces and Connections in the left frame. Step 3 Click the ISDN or asynchronous interface on which you want to configure DDR. Step 4 Click Edit. The Connection tab appears. Step 5 Click Options. The Edit Dialer Option dialog box appears. Step 6 If you want the router to establish the connection only when it recognizes specific IP traffic, click the Filter traffic based on selected ACL radio button, and either enter a rule (ACL) number that will identify which IP traffic should cause the router to dial out, or click the ... button to browse the list of rules and choose the rule that you want to use to identify IP traffic from that list.
4-31 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 4 Create Connection Wizards How Do I... Step 7 If you want to configure the router to end the connection when the connection is idle, i.e., no traffic passes across it, for a specified amount of time, in the Idle timeout field, enter the number of seconds the connection can remain idle before the router ends the connection. Step 8 If you are editing an ISDN connection, and you would like to use your second B channel only when the traffic on the first B channel exceeds a certain threshold, check the Enable MultiLink PPP check box, then in the Load Threshold field, enter a number between 1 and 255, where 255 equals 100% of bandwidth, that will determine the threshold on the first B channel. When traffic on that channel exceeds that threshold, it will cause the router to connect the second B channel. In addition, in the Data direction field, you can choose whether this threshold should apply to outbound or inbound traffic. Step 9 Click OK. How Do I Edit a Radio Interface Configuration? You must use the Wireless Application to edit an existing radio interface configuration. Step 1 Click Configure on the Cisco SDM toolbar. Step 2 Click Interfaces and Connections in the left frame, and then click the Edit Interface/Connection tab. Step 3 Choose the radio interface and click Edit. In the Connections tab, you can change the IP address or bridging information. If you want to change other wireless parameters, click Launch Wireless Application.

General This window displays general security settings and allows you to enable or disable them by checking or unchecking the check box next to the name and description. If you have allowed the Security Audit feature to disable certain properties and want to reenable them, you can reenable them in this window. The properties listed in this window follow. Description In this field you can enter a short description of the interface configuration. This description is visible in the Edit Interfaces and Connections window. A description, such as Accounting or Test Net 5, can help other Cisco SDM users understand the purpose of the configuration. IP Directed Broadcasts An IP directed broadcast is a datagram that is sent to the broadcast address of a subnet to which the sending machine is not directly attached. The directed broadcast is routed through the network as a unicast packet until it arrives at the target subnet, where it is converted into a link-layer broadcast. Because of the nature of the IP addressing architecture, only the last router in the chain, the one that is connected directly to the target subnet, can conclusively identify a directed broadcast. Directed broadcasts are occasionally used for legitimate purposes, but such use is not common outside the financial services industry. IP directed broadcasts are used in the extremely common and popular smurf denial of service attack, and they can also be used in related attacks. In a smurf attack, the attacker sends ICMP echo requests from a falsified source address to a directed broadcast address, causing all the hosts on the target subnet to send
Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection General 5-16 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 replies to the falsified source. By sending a continuous stream of such requests, the attacker can create a much larger reply stream, which can completely inundate the host whose address is being falsified. Disabling IP directed broadcasts drops directed broadcasts that would otherwise be exploded into link-layer broadcasts at that interface. IP Proxy ARP ARP is used by the network to convert IP addresses into MAC addresses. Normally ARP is confined to a single LAN, and a router can act as a proxy for ARP requests, making ARP queries available across multiple LAN segments. Because it breaks the LAN security barrier, proxy ARP should be used only between two LANs with an equal security level, and only when necessary. IP Route Cache-Flow This option enables the Cisco IOS Netflow feature. Using Netflow, you can determine packet distribution, protocol distribution, and current flows of data on the router. This information is useful for certain tasks, such as searching for the source of a spoofed IP address attack. Note The IP Route Cache-Flow option enables Netflow on both inbound and outbound traffic. To enable Netflow on either inbound traffic or outbound traffic, use the Netflow options available on the Application Service tab. IP Redirects ICMP redirect messages instruct an end node to use a specific router as a part of its path to a particular destination. In a properly functioning IP network, a router sends redirects only to hosts on its own local subnets, no end node will ever send a redirect, and no redirect will ever traverse more than one network hop. However, an attacker may violate these rules. Disabling ICMP redirects has no negative impact on the network and can eliminate redirect attacks.
5-17 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Select Ethernet Configuration Type IP Mask-Reply ICMP mask reply messages are sent when a network device must know the subnet mask for a particular subnetwork in the internetwork. ICMP mask reply messages are sent to the device requesting the information by devices that have the requested information. These messages can be used by an attacker to gain network mapping information. IP Unreachables ICMP host unreachable messages are sent if a router receives a nonbroadcast packet that uses an unknown protocol, or if the router receives a packet that it is unable to deliver to the ultimate destination because it knows of no route to the destination address. These messages can be used by an attacker to gain network mapping information. Select Ethernet Configuration Type This window is displayed when you click an interface in the Interfaces and Connections window and Cisco SDM cannot determine whether the interface is configured as a LAN interface or as a WAN interface. When you configure an interface using Cisco SDM, you designate it as an inside or outside interface, and Cisco SDM adds a descriptive comment to the configuration file based on your designation. If you configure an interface using the command-line interface (CLI), the configuration will not include this descriptive comment, and Cisco SDM will not have this information. To Indicate that the Interface is a LAN Interface: Click LAN, and then click OK. Cisco SDM adds the comment line $ETH-LAN$ to the interface configuration, and the interface appears in the LAN wizard window with the designation Inside in the Interfaces and Connections window. To Indicate that the Interface is a WAN Interface: Click WAN, and then click OK. Cisco SDM adds the comment line $ETH-WAN$ to the interface configuration, and the interface appears in the WAN wizard window with the designation Outside in the Interfaces and Connections window.

Line Rate Choose the DSL line rate for the G.SHDSL port. If you have chosen a 2-wire connection, you can choose either auto, which configures the interface to automatically negotiate the line rate between the G.SHDSL port and the DSLAM, or the actual DSL line rate. The supported line rates are 200, 264, 392, 520, 776, 1032, 1160, 1544, 2056, and 2312. If you have chosen a 4-wire connection, you must choose a fixed line rate. The supported line rates for a 4-wire connection are 384, 512, 640, 768, 896, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1408, 1664, 1792, 1920, 2048, 2176, 2304, 2432, 2688, 2816, 2944, 3072, 3200, 3328, 3456, 3584, 3712, 3840, 3968, 4096, 4224, 4352, 4480, and 4608 Note If different DSL line rates are configured at opposite ends of the DSL uplink, the actual DSL line rate is always the lower rate. Enable Sound to Noise Ratio Margin The sound-to-noise ratio margin provides a threshold for the DSL modem to determine whether it should reduce or increase its power output depending on the amount of noise on the connection. If you have set the line rate to auto, you can enable this feature to maximize the quality of the DSL connection. Note that you cannot use this feature if your line rate is fixed. To enable the sound-to-noise ratio margin, check this check box and choose the ratio margins in the Current and Snext fields. To disable this feature, uncheck this check box. Current Choose the sound-to-noise ratio margin in the form of decibels (dB) on the current connection. The lower the ratio chosen here, the more noise will be tolerated on the connection. A lower dB setting will cause the DSL modem to allow more noise on the line, potentially resulting in a connection of lower quality but higher throughput. A higher dB setting causes the modem to restrict noise, potentially resulting in a connection of higher quality but lower throughput.

5-49 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Connection: ISDN BRI Some service providers use SPIDs to define the services subscribed to by the ISDN device that is accessing the ISDN service provider. The service provider assigns the ISDN device one or more SPIDs when you first subscribe to the service. If you are using a service provider that requires SPIDs, your ISDN device cannot place or receive calls until it sends a valid, assigned SPID to the service provider when accessing the switch to initialize the connection. Only the DMS-100 and NI switch types require SPIDs. The Lucent (AT&T) 5ESS switch type may support a SPID, but we recommend that you set up that ISDN service without SPIDs. In addition, SPIDs have significance at the local-access ISDN interface only. Remote routers never receive the SPID. A SPID is usually a seven-digit telephone number with some optional numbers. However, service providers may use different numbering schemes. For the DMS-100 switch type, two SPIDs are assigned, one for each B channel.

If you are using a service provider that requires SPIDs, your ISDN device cannot place or receive calls until it sends a valid, assigned SPID to the service provider when accessing the switch to initialize the connection. Only the DMS-100 and NI switch types require SPIDs. The AT&T 5ESS switch type may support a SPID, and we recommend that you set up that ISDN service without SPIDs. In addition, SPIDs have significance at the local-access ISDN interface only. Remote routers never receive the SPID. A SPID is usually a seven-digit telephone number with some optional numbers. However, service providers may use different numbering schemes. For the DMS-100 switch type, two SPIDs are assigned, one for each B channel. SPID1 Enter the SPID to the first BRI B channel provided to you by your ISP. SPID2 Enter the SPID to the second BRI B channel provided to you by your ISP.
5-57 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Dialer Options Dialer Options Both ISDN BRI and analog modem interfaces can be configured for dial-on-demand routing (DDR), which causes the connection to dial out and become active only under specified circumstances, thus saving connection time and cost. This window lets you configure options specifying when ISDN BRI or analog modem connections should be initiated and ended. Dialer List Association The dialer list lets you associate the ISDN BRI or analog modem connection with an ACL to identify interesting traffic. Identifying interesting traffic will cause the interface to dial out and establish a connection only when the router detects data traffic that matches the ACL. Allow all IP traffic Choose this option to cause the interface to dial out and establish a connection whenever there is any IP traffic being sent over the interface. Filter traffic based on selected ACL Choose this option to associate an ACL, which must be created using the rules interface, with the interface. Only traffic that matches the traffic identified in the ACL will cause the interface to dial out and establish a connection. You can enter the ACL number you want to associate with the dialer interface to identify interesting traffic, or you can click the button next to the field to browse the list of ACLs or create a new ACL and choose it. Timer Settings Timer settings let you configure the maximum amount of time that a connection with no traffic stays active. By configuring timer settings, you can have connections that shut down automatically, saving you connection time and cost. Idle timeout Enter the number of seconds that are allowed to pass before an idle connection (one that has no traffic passing over it) is terminated.
Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Dialer Options 5-58 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Fast idle timeout The fast idle timeout is used when one connection is active while a competing connection is waiting to be made. The fast idle timeout sets the maximum number of seconds with no interesting traffic before the active connection is terminated and the competing connection is made. This occurs when the interface has an active connection to a next hop IP address and the interface receives interesting data with a different next hop IP destination. Because the dialer connection is point-to-point, the competing packet cannot be delivered until the current connection is ended. This timer sets the amount of time that must pass while the first connection is idle before that connection will be terminated and the competing connection made. Enable Multilink PPP Multilink PPP lets you load-balance data over multiple ISDN BRI B channels and asynchronous interfaces. With multilink PPP, when an ISDN connection is initially made, only one B channel is used for the connection. If the traffic load on the connection exceeds the specified threshold (entered as a percentage of total bandwidth), then a connection with a second B channel is made, and the data traffic is shared over both connections. This has the advantage of reducing connection time and cost when data traffic is low, and letting you use your full ISDN BRI bandwidth when it is needed. Check this check box if you want to enable multilink PPP. Uncheck it if you do not. Load Threshold Use this field to configure the percentage of bandwidth that must be used on a single ISDN BRI channel before another ISDN BRI channel connection will be made to load-balance traffic. Enter a number between 1 and 255, where 255 equals 100 percent of bandwidth on the first connection being utilized. Data Direction Cisco SDM supports Multilink PPP only for outbound network traffic.
5-59 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Backup Configuration Backup Configuration ISDN BRI and analog modem interfaces can be configured to work as backup interfaces to other, primary interfaces. In that case, an ISDN or analog modem connection will be made only if the primary interface goes down for some reason. If the primary interface and connection go down, the ISDN or analog modem interface will immediately dial out and try to establish a connection so that network services are not lost. Enable Backup Check if you want this ISDN BRI or analog modem interface to act as a backup connection. Uncheck this check box if you do not want the ISDN BRI or analog modem interface to be a backup interface. Primary Interface Choose the interface on the router that will maintain the primary connection. The ISDN BRI or analog modem connection will only be made should the connection on the chosen interface go down. Tracking Details Use this section to identify a specific host to which connectivity must be maintained. The router will track connectivity to that host, and if the router discovers that connectivity to the host specified was lost by the primary interface, this will initiate a backup connection over the ISDN BRI or analog modem interface. Hostname or IP Address to be Tracked Enter the hostname or IP address of the destination host to which connectivity will be tracked. Specify an infrequently contacted destination as the site to be tracked. Track Object Number This is a read-only field that displays an internal object number generated and used by Cisco SDM for tracking the connectivity to the remote host.
Chapter 5 Edit Interface/Connection Backup Configuration 5-60 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Next Hop Forwarding These fields are optional. You can enter the IP address to which the primary and backup interfaces will connect when they are active. This is known as the next hop IP address. If you do not enter next hop IP addresses, Cisco SDM will configure static routes using the interface name. Note that when you back up a multipoint WAN connection, such as an Ethernet connection, you must enter next hop IP addresses in order for routing to occur properly, but when backing up a point-to-point connection, this information is not necessary. Primary Next Hop IP Address Enter the next hop IP address of the primary interface. Backup Next Hop IP Address Enter the next hop IP address of the ISDN BRI or analog modem backup interface. 6-1 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 CH A P T E R
6 Create Firewall A firewall is a set of rules used to protect the resources of your LAN. These rules filter the packets arriving at the router.

9 Site-to-Site VPN The help topics in this section describe the Site-to-Site VPN configuration screens, and the VPN Design Guide screens. VPN Design Guide If you are an administrator setting up a VPN network, the VPN Design Guide helps you to determine which kind of VPN to configure. You provide information about what type of user you are, the type of equipment that the router establishes VPN connections with, the type of traffic that the VPN will carry, and other features that you need to configure. After you provide this information, the VPN Design Guide recommends a VPN type, and allows you to launch the wizard that will enable you to configure that type of VPN. Create Site to Site VPN A Virtual Private Network (VPN) lets you protect traffic that travels over lines that your organization may not own or control. VPNs can encrypt traffic sent over these lines and authenticate peers before any traffic is sent. You can let Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (Cisco SDM) guide you through a simple VPN configuration by clicking the VPN icon. When you use the Wizard in the Create Site-to-Site VPN tab, Cisco SDM provides default values for some configuration parameters in order to simplify the configuration process.

Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN 9-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 VPN Connection Information Use this window to identify the IP address or host name of the remote site that will terminate the VPN tunnel that you are configuring, to specify the router interface to use, and to enter the pre-shared key that both routers will use to authenticate each other. Select the interface for this VPN Connection Select the interface on this router that connects to the remote site.The router you are configuring is represented as the Local router in the Use Case Scenario diagram. Peer Identity Enter the IP address of the remote IP Security (IPSec) peer that will terminate the VPN tunnel you are configuring. The remote IPSec peer might be another router, a VPN concentrator, or any other gateway device that supports IPSec. Peer(s) with dynamic IP addresses Select this option if the peers the router connects to use a dynamically-assigned IP addresses. Peer with static IP address Select this option if the peer the router connects to uses a fixed IP address. Enter the IP Address of the remote peer (Enabled when Peer with static IP address is selected). Enter the IP address of the remote peer. Authentication Click this button if the VPN peers use a pre-shared key to authenticate connections from each other. This key must be the same on each side of the VPN connection.
9-7 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN Enter the pre-shared key, and then reenter it for confirmation. Exchange the pre-shared key with the administrator of the remote site through some secure and convenient method, such as an encrypted e-mail message. Question marks (?) and spaces must not be used in the pre-shared key. The pre-shared key can contain a maximum of 128 characters. Note The characters you enter for the pre-shared key are not displayed in the field as you enter them. You may find it helpful to write down the key before you enter it so that you can communicate it to the administrator of the remote system. Pre-shared keys must be exchanged between each pair of IPSec peers that need to establish secure tunnels. This authentication method is appropriate for a stable network with a limited number of IPSec peers. It may cause scalability problems in a network with a large or increasing number of IPSec peers. Digital Certificate Click this button if the VPN peers will use digital certificates for authentication. Note The router must have a digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority to authenticate itself. If you have not configured a digital certificate for the router, go to VPN components, and use the Digital Certificate wizard to enroll for a digital certificate. Traffic to Encrypt If you are configuring a Quick Setup site-to-site VPN connection, you need to specify the source and destination subnets in this window. Source Choose the interface on the router that will be the source of the traffic on this VPN connection. All traffic coming through this interface whose destination IP address is in the subnet specified in the Destination area will be encrypted.
Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN 9-8 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Details Click this button to obtain details about the interface you selected. The details window shows any access rules, IPSec policies, Network Address Translation (NAT) rules, or Inspection rules associated with the interface. To examine any of these rules in more detail, go to Additional Tasks/ACL Editor, and examine them in the Rules windows. Destination IP address and Subnet Mask. Enter the IP address and subnet mask of the destination for this traffic. For more information about how to enter values in these fields, see IP Addresses and Subnet Masks. The destination is depicted as the Remote router in the Use Case Scenario diagram in the main VPN wizard window. IKE Proposals This window lists all the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policies that have been configured on the router. If no user-defined policies have been configured, the windows lists the Cisco SDM default IKE policy. IKE policies govern the way that devices in a VPN authenticate themselves. The local router will use the IKE policies listed in this window to negotiate authentication with the remote router. The local router and the peer device must both use the same policy. The router that initiates the VPN connection offers the policy with the lowest priority number first. If the remote system rejects that policy, the local router offers the policy with the next lowest number, and continues in this fashion until the remote system accepts. You must coordinate closely with the administrator of the peer system so that you can configure identical policies on both routers. For Easy VPN connections, IKE policies are only configured on the Easy VPN server. The Easy VPN client sends proposals, and the server responds according to its configured IKE policies. Priority This is the order in which the policy will be offered during negotiation.
9-9 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN Encryption Cisco SDM supports a variety of encryption types, listed in order of security. The more secure an encryption type is, the more processing time it requires. Note Not all routers support all encryption types. Unsupported types will not appear in the screen. Not all IOS images support all the encryption types that Cisco SDM supports. Types unsupported by the IOS image will not appear in the screen. If hardware encryption is turned on, only those encryption types supported by hardware encryption will appear in the screen.

These transform sets will be available for use by the VPN or DMVPN. A transform set represents a certain combination of security protocols and algorithms. During the IPSec security association negotiation, the peers agree to use a particular transform set for protecting a particular data flow. A transform describes a particular security protocol with its corresponding algorithms. You can select only one transform set in this window, but you can associate additional transform sets to the VPN or DMVPN connection using the VPN or DMVPN Edit tabs. Select Transform Set Select the transform set that you want to use from this list. Details of the Selected Transform Set This area supplies details about the selected transform set. Not all types of encryption, authentication, and compression have to be configured; therefore, some columns may not contain values. To learn the possible values each column may contain, click Add or Edit Transform Set. Name The name given to this transform set. ESP Encryption The type of Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) encryption used. If ESP encryption is not configured for this transform set, this column will be empty.

Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN 9-12 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 AH Authentication The type of Authentication Header (AH) authentication used. If AH authentication is not configured for this transform set, this column will be empty. IP Compression If IP compression is configured for this transform set, this field contains the value COMP-LZS. Note IP compression is not supported on all routers. Mode This column contains one of the following: TransportEncrypt data only. Transport mode is used when both endpoints support IPsec. Transport mode places the authentication header or encapsulated security payload after the original IP header; thus, only the IP payload is encrypted. This method allows users to apply network services such as quality-of-service (QoS) controls to encrypted packets. TunnelEncrypt data and IP header. Tunnel mode provides stronger protection than transport mode. Because the entire IP packet is encapsulated within AH or ESP, a new IP header is attached, and the entire datagram can be encrypted. Tunnel mode allows network devices such as routers to act as an IPsec proxy for multiple VPN users. Type Either User Defined, or Cisco SDM Default. What Do You Want to Do? If you want to: Do this: Select a transform set for the VPN to use. Select a transform set, and click Next. Add a transform set to the routers configuration. Click Add, and create the transform set in the Add Transform Set window. Then click Next to continue VPN configuration.

Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN 9-16 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Secure GRE Tunnel (GRE-over-IPSec) Generic routing encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that can encapsulate a wide variety of protocol packet types inside IP tunnels, creating a virtual point-to-point link to Cisco routers at remote points over an IP internetwork. By connecting multiprotocol subnetworks in a single-protocol backbone environment, IP tunneling using GRE allows network expansion across a single-protocol backbone environment. This wizard enables you to create a GRE tunnel with IPSec encryption. When you create a GRE tunnel configuration, you also create an IPSec rule that describes the endpoints of the tunnel. GRE Tunnel Information General GRE tunnel information is provided in this screen. Tunnel Source Select the interface name or the IP address of the interface that the tunnel will use. The IP address of the interface must be reachable from the other end of the tunnel; therefore it must a a public, routable IP address. An error will be generated if you enter an IP address that is not associated with any configured interface. Note Cisco SDM lists interfaces with static IP addresses and interfaces configured as unnumbered in the Interface list. Loopback interfaces are not included in the list. Details Click to obtain details about the interface that you selected. The details window shows any access rules, IPSec policies, NAT rules, or Inspection rules associated with the interface. If a NAT rule has been applied to this interface that causes the address to be unroutable, the tunnel will not operate properly. To examine any of these rules in more detail, go to Additional Tasks/ACL Editor and examine the in the Rules window.

The ping command is available from the Tools menu. If the destination address cannot be reached, the tunnel will not be created properly. IP Address of the GRE tunnel Enter the IP address of the tunnel. The IP addresses of both ends of the tunnel must be in the same subnet. The tunnel is given a separate IP address so that it can be a private address, if necessary. IP Address Enter the IP address of the tunnel in dotted decimal format. For more information, see IP Addresses and Subnet Masks. Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask for the tunnel address in dotted decimal format. VPN Authentication Information VPN peers use a pre-shared key to authenticate connections from each other. This key must be the same on each side of the VPN connection. Pre-Shared Key Click this button if the VPN peers use a pre-shared key for authentication and then enter the pre-shared key, and then reenter it for confirmation. Exchange the pre-shared key with the administrator of the remote site through some secure and convenient method, such as an encrypted e-mail message. Question marks (?) and spaces must not be used in the pre-shared key.

You may find it helpful to write down the key before you enter it so that you can communicate it to the administrator of the remote system. Pre-shared keys must be exchanged between each pair of IPSec peers that need to establish secure tunnels. This authentication method is appropriate for a stable network with a limited number of IPSec peers. It may cause scalability problems in a network with a large or increasing number of IPSec peers. Digital Certificate Click this button if the VPN peers will use digital certificates for authentication. The router must have a digital certificate issued by a Certificate Authority to authenticate itself. If you have not configured a digital certificate for the router, go to VPN components, and use the Digital Certificate wizard to enroll for a digital certificate. Note If you are authenticating using digital certificates, the VPN tunnel might not be created if the CA server contacted during IKE negotiation is not configured to respond to Certificate Revocation List (CRL) requests. To correct this problem, go to the Digital Certificates page, select the configured trustpoint, and select None for Revocation. Backup GRE Tunnel Information You can configure a backup GRE-over-IPSec tunnel that the router can use when the primary tunnel fails. This tunnel will use the same interface that you configured for the primary tunnel, but it must be configured with the backup VPN router as the peer. If routing is configured for the primary GRE-over-IPSec tunnel, the keepalive packets that the routing protocol sends are used to verify that the tunnel is still active. If the router stops receiving keepalive packets on the primary tunnel, then traffic is sent through the backup tunnel.

9-21 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 9 Site-to-Site VPN Create Site to Site VPN Tunnel all trafficAll traffic will be routed through the tunnel interface and encrypted. Cisco SDM creates a default static route entry with the tunnel interface as the next hop. If a default route already exists, Cisco SDM modifies that route to use the tunnel interface as the next hop, replacing the interface that was originally there, and creates a new static entry to the tunnel destination network that specifies the interface in the original default route as the next hop. The following example assumes the network at the other end of the tunnel is 200.1.0.0, as specified in the destination network fields: ! Original entry ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FE0 ! Entry changed by SDM ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel0 ! Entry added by SDM ip route 200.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 FE0 If no default route exists, Cisco SDM simply creates one, using the tunnel interface as the next hop. For example: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel0 Do split tunnelingSplit tunneling allows traffic that is destined for the network specified in the IP Address and Network Mask fields to be encrypted and routed through the tunnel interface. All other traffic will not be encrypted. When this option is selected, Cisco SDM creates a static route to the network, using the IP address and network mask. The following example assumes that the network address 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 was entered in the destination address fields: The following example assumes that the network address 10.2.0.0/255.255.0.0 was entered in the destination address fields: ip route 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0 Tunnel0

Identical names for IPSec policies, IKE policies, and transform sets may be used on the remote router, but the policies and transform sets may be different. If the text file is simply copied into the remote configuration file, configuration errors are likely to result. Cisco SDM Warning: NAT Rules with ACL This window appears when you are configuring a VPN using interfaces with associated NAT rules that use Access rules. This type of NAT rule can change IP addresses in packets before the packets leave or enter the LAN, and a NAT rule will prevent VPN connections from functioning properly if it changes source IP addresses so that they dont match the IPSec rule configured for the VPN. To prevent this from happening, Cisco SDM can convert these to NAT rules that use route maps. Route maps specify subnets that should not be translated. The window shows the NAT rules that have to be changed to ensure the VPN connection functions properly. Original Address The IP address that NAT will translate. Translated Address The IP address that NAT will substitute for the original address.

Mode of Operation Choose either Client or Network Extension.
10-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 10 Easy VPN Remote Create Easy VPN Remote Choose Client if you want the PCs and other devices on the routers inside networks to form a private network with private IP addresses. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) will be used. Devices outside the LAN will not be able to ping devices on the LAN, or reach them directly. Choose Network Extension if you want the devices connected to the inside interfaces to have IP addresses that are routable and reachable by the destination network. The devices at both ends of the connection will form one logical network. PAT will be automatically disabled, allowing the PCs and hosts at both ends of the connection to have direct access to one another. Consult with the administrator of the Easy VPN server or concentrator before choosing this setting. If you choose Network Extension, you can enable remote management of the router by checking the box to request a server-assigned IP address for your router. This IP address can be used for connecting to your router for remote management and troubleshooting (ping, Telnet, and Secure Shell). This mode is known as Network Extension Plus. Note If the router is not running a Cisco IOS image that supports Easy VPN Remote Phase IV or later, you will not be able to set Network Extension Plus. Authentication Use this window to specify security for the Easy VPN Remote tunnel. Device Authentication Choose Digital Certificates or Preshared Key. Note The Digital Certificates option is available only if supported by the Cisco IOS image on your router. To use a preshared key, enter the IPSec group name. The group name must match the group name defined on the VPN concentrator or server. Obtain this information from your network administrator.
Chapter 10 Easy VPN Remote Create Easy VPN Remote 10-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Enter the IPSec group key. The group key must match the group key defined on the VPN concentrator or server. Obtain this information from your network administrator. Reenter the key to confirm its accuracy. User Authentication (XAuth) User authentication (XAuth) appears in this window if the Cisco IOS image on the router supports Easy VPN Remote Phase III. If user authentication does not appear, it must be set from the router command-line interface. Choose one of these ways to enter the XAuth username and password: Manually in a web browser window Note The web browser option appears only if supported by the Cisco IOS image on your router. Manually from the command line or Cisco SDM Automatically by saving the username and password on the router The Easy VPN server may use XAuth to authenticate the router. If the server allows the save password option, you can eliminate the need to enter the username and password each time the Easy VPN tunnel is established by this option. Enter the username and password provided by the Easy VPN server administrator, and then reenter the password to confirm its accuracy. The information is saved in the router configuration file and used each time the tunnel is established. Caution Storing the XAuth username and password in router memory creates a security risk, because anyone who has access to the router configuration can obtain this information. If you do not want this information stored on the router, do not enter it here. The Easy VPN server will simply challenge the router for the username and password each time the connection is established. Additionally, Cisco SDM cannot itself determine whether the Easy VPN server allows the save password option. You must determine whether the server allows this option. If the server does not allow this option, you should not create a security risk by entering the information here.

Chapter 12 Enhanced Easy VPN 12-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Authentication Select the method that Easy VPN clients are to use to authenticate themselves to the Easy VPN Server configured on the router. Pre-shared keys require that you communicate the key to administrators of Easy VPN clients. Digital certificates do not require this, but each client must enroll for and receive a digital certificate. RADIUS Servers Identify the RADIUS servers that the router will use for authorization and group policy lookup and the VPN groups configured on the RADIUS servers in the RADIUS Servers window. RADIUS Client Source Configuring the RADIUS source allows you to specify the source IP address to be sent in packets bound for the RADIUS server. To view the IP address and other information about an interface, select the interface and click the Details button. The source IP address in the RADIUS packets sent from the router must be configured as the NAD IP address in the Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) version 3.3 or later. If you choose Router chooses source, the source IP address in the RADIUS packets will be the address of the interface through which the RADIUS packets exit the router. If you choose a specific router interface, the source IP address in the RADIUS packets will be the address of that interface. Note Cisco IOS software allows a single RADIUS source interface to be configured on the router. If the router already has a configured RADIUS source and you choose a different source, the source IP address placed in the packets sent to the RADIUS server changes to the IP address of the new source, and may not match the NAD IP address configured on the Cisco ACS.
12-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 12 Enhanced Easy VPN Server IP, Parameters, and Select Columns These columns list the key information about the RADIUS servers the router uses.

13 DMVPN These help topics provide information about Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) configuration screens. Dynamic Multipoint VPN This wizard will help you to configure your router as a Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) hub or DMVPN spoke. A typical VPN connection is a point-to-point IPSec tunnel connecting two routers. DMVPN enables you to create a network with a central hub that connects other remote routers, referred to as spokes using a GRE over IPSec tunnel. IPSec traffic is routed through the hub to the spokes in the network. Cisco SDM allows you to configure your router as a primary or a secondary DMVPN hub, or as a spoke router in a DMVPN network. The following link contains more information about DMVPN (requires CCO login ID). Multipoint IPSec VPNs Cisco SDM supports the configuration of a hub-and-spoke DMVPN that uses IPSec profiles to define encryption. You can configure a fully-meshed DMVPN, and use crypto-maps to define encryption in the DMVPN using the CLI. Fully meshed DMVPNs and DMVPNs using crypto maps are managed and modified using the CLI. Cisco SDM supports the configuration of a DMVPN starting from IOS version 12.2(13)T. Cisco SDM supports the configuration of a single DMVPN on a router. In this screen, identify your router as a hub or as a spoke in the DMVPN network.
Chapter 13 DMVPN Dynamic Multipoint VPN 13-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 It is important to configure the hub first because spokes must be configured using information about the hub. If you are configuring a hub, you can use the SpokeConfiguration feature available in the Summary window to generate a procedure that you can send to spoke administrators so that they can configure the spokes with the correct hub information. If you are configuring a spoke, you must obtain the correct information about the hub before you begin. Create a spoke (client) in Dynamic Multipoint VPN Select if your router is a spoke in the DMVPN network. Spokes are the logical endpoints in the network. Before starting configuration, you should ping the hub to be sure you have connectivity to it, and have all the necessary information about the hub configuration that you need. This information is listed in Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Spoke Wizard. Create a hub (server or head-end) in Dynamic Multipoint VPN Select if your router is a hub in the DMVPN network. The hub is the logical center point in a DMVPN network, and is connected to each spoke router via a point-to-point IPSec connection. The hub can route IPSec traffic between the spoke routers in the network. Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Hub Wizard This wizard will help you configure your router as a DMVPN hub. The hub should be configured before the spokes so that you can provide the spoke administrators with the information they need to configure their spoke routers. The application window explains what you will be configuring. After you have finished, you will need to provide spoke administrators with the following information about the hub: The IP address of the hub routers physical interface. The IP address of the hubs mGRE tunnel interface. The dynamic routing protocol to use to send routing updates to the DMVPN, and the autonomous system (AS) number (for EIGRP), or process ID (for OSPF) that should be used.
13-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 13 DMVPN Dynamic Multipoint VPN Cisco SDMs Configure Spoke feature enables you to create a text file that contains the information that spoke administrators need about the hubs configuration. This feature is available from the Summary window of this wizard. You also need to tell the spoke administrators which subnet mask to use, and assign each spoke an IP address from the same subnet as the hub so that address conflicts do not occur. Type of Hub DMVPN networks can be configured with a single hub, or with a primary and a backup hub. Identify the type of hub you are configuring your router as. Primary Hub Check if the router is the primary hub in the DMVPN network. Backup Hub Check this button if the router is a backup hub in a full-mesh DMVPN network. Configure Pre-Shared Key DMVPN peers can use a pre-shared key or digital certificates to authenticate connections from each other. If pre-shared keys are used, each hub router and spoke router in the network must use the same pre-shared key. Pre-shared keys should be exchanged with the administrator of the remote site through some secure and convenient method, such as an encrypted e-mail message. Question marks (?) and spaces must not be used in the pre-shared key. The pre-shared key can contain a maximum of 128 characters. Pre-Shared Key Enter the pre-shared key used in the DMVPN network. Question marks (?) and spaces must not be used in the pre-shared key. The pre-shared key can contain a maximum of 128 characters.

Digital certificates are configured under VPN Components>Public Key Infrastructure. Confirm Pre-Shared Key Reenter the key for confirmation. If the values in this field and the Pre-Shared Key field do not match, Cisco SDM prompts you to reenter them. Hub GRE Tunnel Interface Configuration Multipoint Generic Routing Encapsulation (mGRE) is used in a DMVPN network to allow a single GRE interface on a hub to support an IPSec tunnel to each spoke router. This greatly simplifies DMVPN configuration. GRE allows routing updates to be sent over IPSec connections. Select the interface that connects to the Internet Select the router interface that connects to the Internet. The GRE tunnel originates from this interface. Selecting an interface that uses a dialup connection may cause the connection to be always up. You can examine supported interfaces in Interfaces and Connections to determine if a dialup connection. Typically, interfaces such as ISDN or Asynchronous Serial will be configured for a dialup connection. IP Address Enter the IP address for the mGRE interface. This must be a private address and be in the same subnet as the GRE interfaces of the other routers in the network. For example, the GRE interfaces might share the subnet 10.10.6.0, and be given IP addresses in the range 10.10.6.1 through 10.10.6.254. Subnet Mask Enter the mask for the subnet that the GRE interfaces are in. For example, the mask for the subnet 10.10.6.0 could be 255.255.255.0. For more information, see IP Addresses and Subnet Masks.

15 IP Security IP Security (IPSec) is a framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPSec provides these security services at the IP layer; it uses IKE to handle negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy, and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPSec. Cisco SDM lets you configure IPSec transform sets, rules, and policies. Use the IPSec tree to go to the IPSec configuration windows that you want to use. IPSec Policies This window displays the IPSec policies configured on the router, and the crypto maps associated with each policy. IPSec policies are used to define VPN connections. To learn about the relationship between IPSec policies, crypto maps, and VPN connections, see More about VPN Connections and IPSec Policies. Icon If this icon appears next to the IPSec policy, it is read-only, and it cannot be edited. An IPSec policy may be read-only if it contains commands that Cisco SDM does not support.

Sequence Number A number that, along with the IPSec policy name, is used to identify a connection. Cisco SDM generates a sequence number automatically. You can enter your own sequence number if you wish. Security Association Lifetime IPSec security associations use shared keys. These keys, and their security associations time out together. There are two lifetimes: a timed lifetime and a traffic-volume lifetime. The security association expires when the first of these lifetimes is reached. You can use this field to specify a different security association lifetime for this crypto map than the lifetime that is specified globally. In the Kilobytes field, you can specify the lifetime in the number of kilobytes sent, up to a maximum of 4608000. In the HH:MM:SS fields, you can specify the lifetime in hours, minutes, and seconds. You can also specify both a timed and a traffic-volume lifetimes. If both are specified, the lifetime will expire when the first criterion has been satisfied.
Chapter 15 IP Security IPSec Policies 15-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Enable Perfect Forwarding Secrecy When security keys are derived from previously generated keys, there is a security problem, because if one key is compromised, then the others can be compromised also. Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS) guarantees that each key is derived independently. It thus ensures that if one key is compromised, no other keys will be. If you enable PFS, you can specify use of the Diffie-Hellman group1, group2, or group5 method. Note If your router does not support group5, it will not appear in the list. Enable Reverse Route Injection Reverse Route Injection (RRI) is used to populate the routing table of an internal router running Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol or Routing Information Protocol (RIP) for remote VPN clients or LAN-to-LAN sessions.

Chapter 15 IP Security IPSec Rules 15-20 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Mode Select which parts of the traffic you want to encrypt: Transport. Encrypt data onlyTransport mode is used when both endpoints support IPsec; this mode places the AH or ESP after the original IP header; thus, only the IP payload is encrypted. This method allows users to apply network services such as quality-of-service (QoS) controls to encrypted packets. Transport mode should be used only when the destination of the data is always the remote VPN peer. Tunnel. Encrypt data and IP headerTunnel mode provides stronger protection than transport mode. Because the entire IP packet is encapsulated within AH or ESP, a new IP header is attached, and the entire datagram can be encrypted. Tunnel mode allows network devices such as a router to act as an IPsec proxy for multiple VPN users; tunnel mode should be used in those configurations. IP Compression (COMP-LZS) Check this box if you want to use data compression. Note Not all routers support IP compression. If your router does not support IP compression, this box is disabled. IPSec Rules This window shows the IPSec rules configured for this router. IPSec rules define which traffic IPSec will encrypt. The top part of the window lists the access rules defined. The bottom part shows the access rule entries for the access rule selected in the rule list. IPSec rules contain IP address and type-of-service information. Packets that match the criteria specified in the rule are encrypted. Packets that do not match the criteria are sent unencrypted. Name/Num The name or number of this rule.

16 Internet Key Exchange The help topics in this section describe the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) configuration screens. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a standard method for arranging for secure, authenticated communications. IKE establishes session keys (and associated cryptographic and networking configuration) between two hosts across the network. Cisco SDM lets you create IKE policies that will protect the identities of peers during authentication. Cisco SDM also lets you create pre-shared keys that peers exchange. What Do You Want to Do? If you want to: Do this: Learn more about IKE. Click More About IKE. Enable IKE. You must enable IKE for VPN connections to use IKE negotiations. Click Global Settings, and then click Edit to enable IKE and make other global settings for IKE.
Chapter 16 Internet Key Exchange Internet Key Exchange (IKE) 16-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 IKE Policies IKE negotiations must be protected; therefore, each IKE negotiation begins by each peer agreeing on a common (shared) IKE policy. This policy states which security parameters will be used to protect subsequent IKE negotiations. This window shows the IKE policies configured on the router, and allows you to add, edit, or remove an IKE policy from the routers configuration. If no IKE policies have been configured on the router, this window shows the default IKE policy. After the two peers agree on a policy, the security parameters of the policy are identified by a security association established at each peer. These security associations apply to all subsequent IKE traffic during the negotiation. The IKE policies in this list are available to all VPN connections. Priority An integer value that specifies the priority of this policy relative to the other configured IKE policies. Assign the lowest numbers to the IKE policies that you prefer that the router use. The router will offer those policies first during negotiations. Encryption The type of encryption that should be used to communicate this IKE policy. Create an IKE policy. Cisco SDM provides a default IKE policy, but there is no guarantee that the peer has the same policy. You should configure other IKE policies so that the router is able to offer an IKE policy that the peer can accept. Click the IKE Policy node on the VPN tree. See IKE Policies for more information. Create a pre-shared key. If IKE is used, the peers at each end must exchange a pre-shared key to authenticate each other. Click the Pre-Shared Key node on the VPN tree. See IKE Pre-shared Keys for more information. Create an IKE profile. Click the IKE Profile node on the VPN tree. See IKE Profiles for more information. If you want to: Do this:

Note Not all routers support all encryption types. Unsupported types will not appear in the screen. Not all IOS images support all the encryption types that Cisco SDM supports. Types unsupported by the IOS image will not appear in the screen. If hardware encryption is turned on, only those encryption types supported by both hardware encryption and the IOS image will appear in the screen. Priority An integer value that specifies the priority of this policy relative to the other configured IKE policies. Assign the lowest numbers to the IKE policies that you prefer that the router use. The router will offer those policies first during negotiations. Encryption The type of encryption that should be used to communicate this IKE policy. Cisco SDM supports a variety of encryption types, listed in order of security. The more secure an encryption type, the more processing time it requires. Note If your router does not support an encryption type, the type will not appear in the list. Cisco SDM supports the following types of encryption: Data Encryption Standard (DES)This form of encryption supports 56-bit encryption. Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES)This is a stronger form of encryption than DES, supporting 168-bit encryption. AES-128Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption with a 128-bit key. AES provides greater security than DES and is computationally more efficient than triple DES.

D-H Group 1. group21024-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 2. This group provides more security than group 1, but requires more processing time. group51536-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 5. This group provides more security than group 2, but requires more processing time. Note If your router does not support group5, it will not appear in the list. Easy VPN servers do not support D-H Group 1.
Chapter 16 Internet Key Exchange Internet Key Exchange (IKE) 16-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Lifetime This is the lifetime of the security association, in hours, minutes and seconds. The default is one day, or 24:00:00. IKE Pre-shared Keys This window allows you to view, add, edit, and remove IKE pre-shared keys in the routers configuration. A pre-shared key is exchanged with a remote peer during IKE negotiation. Both peers must be configured with the same key. Icon Peer IP/Name An IP address or name of a peer with whom this key is shared. If an IP address is supplied, it can specify all peers in a network or subnetwork, or just an individual host. If a name is specified, then the key is shared by only the named peer. Network Mask The network mask specifies how much of the peer IP address is used for the network address and how much is used for the host address. A network mask of 255.255.255.255 indicates that the peer IP address is an address for a specific host. A network mask containing zeros in the least significant bytes indicates that the peer IP address is a network or subnet address. For example a network mask of 255.255.248.0 indicates that the first 22 bits of the address are used for the network address and that the last 10 bits are for the host part of the address. Pre-Shared Key The pre-shared key is not readable in Cisco SDM windows. If you need to examine the pre shared key, go to View->Running Config. This will display the running configuration. The key is contained in the crypto isakmp key command. If a pre-shared key is read-only, the read-only icon appears in this column. A pre-shared key will be marked as read-only if it is configured with the no-xauth CLI option

For more information, refer to IP Addresses and Subnet Masks. Enter a subnet mask if the IP address you entered is a subnet address, and not the address of a specific host. User Authentication [Xauth] Check this box if site-to-site VPN peers use XAuth to authenticate themselves. If Xauth authenticationn is enabled in VPN Global Settings, it is enabled for site-to-site peers as well as for Easy VPN connections. IKE Profiles IKE profiles, also called ISAKMP profiles, enable you to define a set of IKE parameters that you can associate with one or more IPSec tunnels. An IKE profile applies parameters to an incoming IPSec connection identified uniquely through its concept of match identity criteria. These criteria are based on the IKE identity that is presented by incoming IKE connections and includes IP address, fully qualified domain name (FQDN), and group (the virtual private network [VPN] remote client grouping). For more information on ISAKMP profiles, and how they are configured using the Cisco IOS CLI, go to Cisco.com and follow this path: Products and Services > Cisco IOS Software > Cisco IOS Security > Cisco IOS IPSec > Product Literature > White Papers > ISAKMP Profile Overview IKE Profiles The IKE Profiles area of the screen lists the configured IKE profiles and includes the profile name, the IPSec profile it is used by, and a description of the profile if one has beenprovided.

17 Public Key Infrastructure The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) windows enable you to generate enrollment requests and RSA keys, and manage keys and certificates. You can use the Simple Certificate Enrollment Process (SCEP) to create an enrollment request and an RSA key pair and receive certificates online, or create an enrollment request that you can submit to a Certificate Authority (CA) server offline. If you want to use Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) to enroll for certificates, see Secure Device Provisioning. Certificate Wizards This window allows you to select the type of enrollment you are performing. It also alerts you to configuration tasks that you must perform before beginning enrollment, or tasks that Cisco recommends you perform before enrolling. Completing these tasks before beginning the enrollment process helps eliminate problems that may occur. Select the enrollment method Cisco SDM uses to generate the enrollment request. Prerequisite Tasks If Cisco SDM finds that there are configuration tasks that should be performed before you begin the enrollment process, it alerts you to them in this box. A link is provided next to the alert text so that you can go to that part of Cisco SDM and complete the configuration. If Cisco SDM does not discover missing configurations, this box does not appear. Possible prerequisite tasks are described in Prerequisite Tasks for PKI Configurations.
Chapter 17 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Wizards 17-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) Click this button if you can establish a direct connection between your router and a Certificate Authority (CA) server. You must have the servers enrollment URL in order to do this. The wizard will do the following: Gather information from you to configure a trustpoint and deliver it to the router. Initiate an enrollment with the CA server you specified in the trustpoint. If the CA server is available, display the CA servers fingerprint for your acceptance. If you accept the CA server fingerprint , complete the enrollment. Cut and Paste/Import from PC Click this button if your router cannot establish a direct connection to the CA server or if you want to generate an enrollment request and send it to the CA at another time. After generation, the enrollment request can be submitted to a CA at another time. Cut-and-Paste enrollment requires you to invoke the Digital Certificates wizard to generate a request, and then to reinvoke it when you have obtained the certificates for the CA server and for the router. Note Cisco SDM supports only base-64-encoded PKCS#10-type cut and paste enrollment. Cisco SDM does not support importing PEM and PKCS#12 type certificate enrollments. Launch the selected task button Click to begin the wizard for the type of enrollment that you selected. If Cisco SDM has detected a required task that must be performed before enrollment can begin, this button is disabled. Once the task is completed, the button is enabled.

17-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 17 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Wizards After the wizard completes and the commands are delivered to the router, Cisco SDM attempts to contact the CA server. If the CA server is contacted, Cisco SDM displays a message window with the servers digital certificate. Certificate Authority (CA) Information Provide information to identify the CA server in this window. Also specify a challenge password that will be sent along with the request. Note The information you enter in this screen is used to generate a trustpoint. The trustpoint is generated with a default revocation check method of CRL. If you are editing an existing trustpoint with the SCEP wizard, and a revocation method different from CRL, such as OCSP, already exists under the trustpoint, Cisco SDM will not modify it. If you need to change the revocation method, go to Router Certificates window, select the trustpoint you configured, and click the Check Revocation button. CA server nickname The CA server nickname is an identifier for the trustpoint you are configuring. Enter a name that will help you identify one trustpoint from another. Enrollment URL If you are completing an SCEP enrollment, you must enter the enrollment URL for the CA server in this field. For example, http://CAuthority/enrollment The URL must begin with the characters http://. Be sure there is connectivity between the router and the CA server before beginning the enrollment process. This field does not appear if you are completing a cut-and-paste enrollment. Challenge Password and Confirm Challenge Password A challenge Password can be sent to the CA for you to use if you ever need to revoke the certificate. It is recommended that you do so, as some CA servers do not issue certificates if the challenge Password is blank. If you want to use a
Chapter 17 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Wizards 17-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 challenge Password, enter that password and then reenter it in the confirm field. The challenge Password will be sent along with the enrollment request. For security purposes, the challenge password is encrypted in the router configuration file, so you should record the password and save it in a location you will remember. This password is also referred to as a challenge password. Advanced Options Button Advanced options allow you to provide more information to enable the router to contact the CA server. Advanced Options Use this window to provide more information to enable the router to contact the CA server.

17-7 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 17 Public Key Infrastructure RSA Keys RSA Keys You must include an RSA public key in the enrollment request. Once the certificate has been granted, the public key will be included in the certificate so that peers can use it to encrypt data sent to the router. The private key is kept on the router and used to decrypt the data sent by peers, and also used to digitally sign transactions when negotiating with peers. Generate new key pair(s) Click this button if you want to generate a new key to use in the certificate. When you generate a key pair, you must specify the modulus to determine the size of the key. This new key appears in the RSA Keys window when the wizard is completed. Modulus Enter the key modulus value. If you want a modulus value between 512 and 1024 enter an integer value that is a multiple of 64. If you want a value higher than 1024, you can enter 1536 or 2048. If you enter a value greater than 512, key generation may take a minute or longer. The modulus determines the size of the key. The larger the modulus, the more secure the key, but keys with large modulus take longer to generate, and encryption/decryption operations take longer with larger keys. Generate separate key pairs for encryption and signature By default, Cisco SDM creates a general purpose key pair that is used for both encryption and signature. If you want Cisco SDM to generate separate key pairs for encrypting and signing documents, check this box. Cisco SDM will generate usage keys for encryption and signature.

Chapter 17 Public Key Infrastructure Open Firewall 17-22 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Open Firewall This screen is displayed when Cisco SDM detects firewall(s) on interfaces that would block return traffic that the router needs to receive. Two situations in which it might appear are when a firewall will block DNS traffic or PKI traffic and prevent the router from receiving this traffic from the servers. Cisco SDM can modify these firewalls so that the servers can communicate with the router. Modify Firewall This area lists the exit interfaces and ACL names, and allows you to select which firewalls that you want Cisco SDM to modify. Select the firewalls that you want Cisco SDM to modify in the Action column. Cisco SDM will modify them to allow SCEP or DNS traffic from the server to the router. Note the following for SCEP traffic: Cisco SDM will not modify firewall for CRL/OCSP servers if these are not explicitly configured on the router. To permit communication with CRL/OCSP servers, obtain the correct information from the CA server administrator and modify the firewallsusing the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window. Cisco SDM assumes that the traffic sent from the CA server to the router will enter through the same interfaces through which traffic from the router to the CA server was sent. If you think that the return traffic from CA server will enter the router through a different interface than the one Cisco SDM lists, you need to open the firewall using the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window. This may occur if asymmetric routing is used, whereby traffic from the router to the CA server exits the router through one interface and return traffic enters the router through a different interface. Cisco SDM determines the exit interfaces of the router the moment the passthrough ACE is added. If a dynamic routing protocol is used to learn routes to the CA server and if a route changesthe exit interface changes for SCEP traffic destined for the CA serveryou must explicitly add a passthrough ACE for those interfaces using the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window. Cisco SDM adds passthrough ACEs for SCEP traffic. It does not add passthrough ACEs for revocation traffic such as CRL traffic and OCSP traffic. You must explicitly add passthrough ACEs for this traffic using the Edit Firewall Policy/ACL window.

18 Certificate Authority Server You can configure a Cisco IOS router to serve as a Certificate Authority (CA) server. A CA server handles certificate enrollment requests from clients, and can issue and revoke digital certificates. To create, back up, restore, or edit a CA server, go to Configure > VPN > Public Key Infrastructure > Certificate Authority > Create CA Server. To manage certificates on an existing CA server, go to Configure > VPN > Public Key Infrastructure > Certificate Authority > Manage CA Server. To monitor a CA server, go to Monitor > VPN Status > CA Server. Create CA Server This window allows you to launch a wizard for creating a Certificate Authority (CA) server, or a wizard for restoring a CA server. Only one CA server can be set up on a Cisco IOS router. The CA server should be used to issue certificates to hosts on the private network so that they can use the certificates to authenticate themselves to other Prerequisite Tasks If Cisco SDM finds that there are configuration tasks that should be performed before you begin configuring the CA server, it alerts you to them in this box. A link is provided next to the alert text so that you can go to that part of Cisco SDM

If Cisco SDM does not discover missing configurations, this box does not appear. Possible prerequisite tasks are described in Prerequisite Tasks for PKI Configurations. Create Certificate Authority (CA) Server Click this button to create a CA server on the router. Because only one CA server can be configured on the router, this button is disabled if a CA server is already configured. Note The CA server you configure using SDM allows you to grant and revoke certificates. Although the router does store the serial numbers and other identifying information about the certificates that it grants, it does not store the certificates themselves. The CA server should be configured with a URL to a Registration Authority (RA) server that can store certificates that the CA server grants. Restore Certificate Authority (CA) Server If a CA server already operates on the router, you can restore the CA server configuration, and the information. If no CA server is configured on the router, this option is disabled. Prerequisite Tasks for PKI Configurations Before you begin a certificate enrollment or CA server configuration, it may be necessary for you to complete supporting configuration tasks first. SDM reviews the running configuration before allowing you to begin, alerts you to configurations you must complete, and provides links that take you to the areas of SDM that allow you to complete these configurations. SDM may generate alerts about the following configuration tasks: SSH credentials not verifiedCisco SDM requires you to provide your SSH credentials before beginning. NTP not configuredThe router must have accurate time for certificate enrollment to work.

DNS configuration is required to contact the CA server and any other server related to certificate enrollment such as OCSP servers or CRL repositories if those servers are entered as names and not as IP addresses. Domain and/or Hostname not configuredIt is recommended that you configure a domain and hostname before beginning enrollment. CA Server Wizard: Welcome The Certificate Authority (CA) server wizard guides you through the configuration of a CA server.

Devices needing to check the validity of another devices certificate will fetch the CRL from the CA server. Since many devices may attempt to fetch the CRL, offloading it to a remote device, preferably an HTTP server, will reduce the performance impact on the Cisco IOS router hosting the CA server. If the checking device cannot connect to the CDP, as a backup it will use SCEP to fetch the CRL from the CA server.

19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cisco IOS SSL VPN provides Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN remote-access connectivity from almost any Internet-enabled location using only a web browser and its native SSL encryption. This enables companies to extend their secure enterprise networks to any authorized user by providing remote-access connectivity to corporate resources from any Internet-enabled location. Cisco IOS SSL VPN also enables access from noncorporate-owned machines, including home computers, Internet kiosks, and wireless hotspots, where an IT department cannot easily deploy and manage the VPN client software necessary for IPsec VPN connections. There are three modes of SSL VPN access: clientless, thin-client and full-tunnel client. Cisco SDM supports all three. Each mode is described below: Clientless SSL VPNClientless mode provides secure access to private web resources and will provide access to web content. This mode is useful for accessing most content that you would expect to use within a web browser, such as intranet access, and online tools that employ a web interface. Thin Client SSL VPN (port-forwarding Java applet)Thin Client mode extends the capability of the cryptographic functions of the web browser to enable remote access to TCP-based applications such as POP3, SMTP, IMAP, Telnet, and SSH. Full Tunnel Client SSL VPNFull tunnel client mode offers extensive application support through its dynamically downloaded SSL VPN client software for Cisco IOS SSL VPN. With the Full tunnel Client for Cisco IOS SSL VPN, we delivers a lightweight, centrally configured and easy-to-support SSL VPN tunneling client that allows network layer connectivity access to virtually any application.

19-13 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Create SSL VPN Learn More Click this link for more information. You can view that information now by clicking Learn More about Port Forwarding Servers. Learn More about Port Forwarding Servers Port forwarding enables a remote Cisco IOS SSL VPN user to connect to static ports on servers with private IP addresses on the corporate intranet. For example, you can configure port forwarding on a router to give remote users Telnet access to a server on the corporate intranet. To configure port forwarding, you need the following information: The IP address of the server. The static port number on the server. The remote port number for the client PC. In the dialog, Cisco SDM supplies a port number that is safe to use. To allow users to use Telnet to connect to a server with the IP address 10.0.0.100 (port 23) for example, you would create a port mapping entry with the following information: Server IP address: 10.0.0.100 Server port on which user is connecting: 23 Port on client PC: Cisco SDM-supplied value. 3001 for this example. Description: SSL VPN Telnet access to server-a. This description will be on the portal. When the client's browser connects to the gateway router, a portal applet is downloaded to the client PC. This applet contains the server's IP address and static port number, and the port number that the client PC is to use. The applet does the following: Creates a mapping on the client PC that maps traffic for port 23 on 10.0.0.100 to the PC's loopback IP address 127.0.0.1, port 3001. Listens on port 3001, IP address 127.0.0.1
Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Create SSL VPN 19-14 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 When the user runs an application that connects to port 23 on 10.0.0.100, the request is sent to 127.0.0.1 port 3001. The portal applet listening on that port and IP address gets this request and sends it over the Cisco IOS SSL VPN tunnel to the gateway. The gateway router forwards it to the server at 10.0.0.100, and sends return traffic back to the PC. Full Tunnel Full tunnel clients must download the full tunnel software and obtain an IP address from the router. Use this window to configure the IP address pool that full tunnel clients will draw from when they log in and to specify the location of the full tunnel install bundle. Note If the software install bundle is not already installed, there must be sufficient memory in router flash for Cisco SDM to install it after you complete this wizard. Enable Full Tunnel Checkbox Check to allow the router to download the full tunnel client software to the users PC, and to enable the other fields in this window. IP Address Pool Specify the IP address pool that full tunnel clients will draw from. You can enter the name of an existing pool in the field, or you can click the button to the right of the field and choose Select an existing IP pool to browse the list of pools, Choose Create a new pool and complete the dialog that is displayed to create a new pool. The address pool that you choose or create must contain addresses in the corporate intranet.

To get to that information from this help page, click Learn More About Group Policies. Learn More About Group Policies Cisco IOS SSL VPN group policies define the portal and links for the users included in those policies. When a remote user enters the Cisco IOS SSL VPN URL they have been given, the router must determine which policy the user is a member of so that it can display the portal configured for that policy. If only one Cisco IOS SSL VPN policy is configured on the router, it can authenticate users locally or using a AAA server, and then display the portal.
Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN SSL VPN Context 19-24 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 However, if more than one policy is configured, the router must rely on a AAA server to determine which policy to use each time a remote user attempts to log in. If you have configured more than one Cisco IOS SSL VPN group policy, you must configure at least one AAA server for the router, and you must configure a policy on that server for each group of users for which you created a Cisco IOS SSL VPN policy. The policy names on the AAA server must be the same as the names of the group policies configured on the router, and they must be configured with the credentials of the users who are members of the group. For example, if a router has been configured with local authentication for Bob Smith, and only the group policy Sales has been configured, there is only one portal available to display when Bob Smith attempts to log in. However, if there are threeCisco IOS SSL VPN group policies configured, Sales, Field, and Manufacturing, the router cannot, by itself, determine which policy group Bob Smith is a member of. If a AAA server is configured with the proper information for those policies, the router can contact that server, and receive the information that Bob Smith is a member of the group Sales. The router can then display the correct portal for the Sales group. For information on how to configure the AAA server, see the Configuring RADIUS Attribute Support for SSL VPN section in the SSL VPN Enhancements document at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6441/products_feature_guide09186a00 805eeaea.html#wp1396461 Group Policy: General Tab When creating a new group policy, you must enter information in each field of the General tab.

Split tunneling allows you to specify the traffic that you want to send through the Cisco IOS SSL VPN tunnel and allow other traffic to remain unprotected and be handled by other routers. In the Split Tunneling area, you can specify the traffic to include in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN and exclude all other traffic by default, or you can specify the traffic to exclude from the CCisco IOS SSL VPN and include all other traffic by default. For example, suppose that your organization uses the 10.11.55.0 and the 10.12.55.0 network addresses. Add these network addresses to the Destination Network list, then click the Include traffic radio button. All other Internet traffic, such as traffic to Google or Yahoo, would go direct to the Internet. Or suppose it is more practical to exclude traffic to certain networks from the Cisco IOS SSL VPN tunnel. In that case, enter the addresses for those networks in the Destination Networks list, then click the Exclude traffic radio button. All traffic destined for the networks in the Destination Networks list is sent over nonsecure routes, and all other traffic is sent over the Cisco IOS SSL VPN tunnel. If users have printers on local LANs that they want to use while connected to the Cisco IOS SSL VPN, you must click Exclude local LAN in the Split Tunneling area.

Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts, Gateways, and Policies 19-38 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts, Gateways, and Policies Cisco SDM provides an easy way to configure Cisco IOS SSL VPN connections for remote users. However, the terminology used in this technology can be confusing. This help topic discusses the Cisco IOS SSL VPN terms used in Cisco SDM configuration windows and describes how Cisco IOS SSL VPN components work together. An example of using the Cisco IOS SSL VPN wizard and edit windows in Cisco SDM is also provided. Before discussing each component individually, it is helpful to note the following: One Cisco IOS SSL VPN context can support multiple group policies. Each context must have one associated gateway. One gateway can support multiple contexts. If there is more than one group policy on the router, a AAA server must be used for authentication. Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts A Cisco IOS SSL VPN context identifies resources needed to support SSL VPN tunnels between remote clients and a corporate or private intranet, and supports one or more group policies. A Cisco IOS SSL VPN context provides the following resources: An associated Cisco IOS SSL VPN gateway, which provides an IP address that clients can reach and a certificate used to establish a secure connection. Means for authentication. You can authenticate users locally, or by using AAA servers. The HTML display settings for the portal that provides links to network resources. Port forwarding lists that enable the use of Thin Client applets on remote clients. Each list should be configured for use in a specific group policy. URL lists that contain links to resources in the corporate intranet. Each list should be configured for use in a specific group policy. NetBIOS Name Server lists. Each list should be configured for use in a specific group policy.
19-39 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts, Gateways, and Policies These resources are available when configuring Cisco IOS SSL VPN group policies. A Cisco IOS SSL VPN context can support multiple group policies. A Cisco IOS SSL VPN context can be associated with only one gateway. Cisco IOS SSL VPN Gateways A Cisco IOS SSL VPN gateway provides a reachable IP address and certificate for one or more Cisco IOS SSL VPN contexts. Each gateway configured on a router must be configured with its own IP address; IP addresses cannot be shared among gateways. It is possible to use the IP address of a router interface, or another reachable IP address if one is available. Either a digital certificate or a self-signed certificate must be configured for gateways to use. All gateways on the router can use the same certificate. Although one gateway can serve multiple Cisco IOS SSL VPN contexts, resource constraints and IP address reachability must be taken into account. Cisco IOS SSL VPN Policies Cisco IOS SSL VPN group policies allow you to accommodate the needs of different groups of users. A group of engineers working remotely needs access to different network resources than sales personnel working in the field. Business partners and outside vendors must access the information they need to work with your organization, but you must ensure that they do not have access to confidential information or other resources they do not need. Creating a different policy for each of these groups allows you provide remote users with the resources they need, and prevent them from accessing other resources. When you configure a group policy, resources such as URL lists, Port Forwarding lists, and NetBIOS name server lists configured for the policys associated context are available for selection. If there is more than one group policy configured on the router, you must configure the router to use a AAA server to authenticate users and to determine which policy group a particular user belongs to. Click Learn More About Group Policies for more information.
Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts, Gateways, and Policies 19-40 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Example In this example, a user clicks Create a new SSL VPN and uses the wizard to create the first Cisco IOS SSL VPN configuration on the router. Completing this wizard creates a new context, gateway, and group policy. The following table contains the information the user enters in each wizard window, and the configuration that Cisco SDM creates with that information. Cisco IOS SSL VPN Wizard Window Configuration Create SSL VPN Window Prerequisite Tasks area indicates that digital certificates are not configured on the router. User clicks self signed certificate and configures a certificate in the Persistent Self Signed Certificate dialog. The user does not change the Cisco SDM-supplied name Router_Certificate. User clicks Create new SSL VPN. Cisco SDM configures a self-signed certificate named Router_Certificate that will be available for use in all Cisco IOS SSL VPN configurations. IP Address and Name Window User enters the following information: IP Address: 172.16.5.5 Name: Asia Check Enable secure SDM access through 192.168.1.1. Certificate: Router_Certificate Cisco SDM creates a context named Asia. Cisco SDM creates a gateway named gateway_1 that uses the IP address 172.16.5.5 and Router_Certificate. This gateway can be associated with other Cisco IOS SSL VPN contexts. Users will access the Cisco IOS SSL VPN portal by entering http://172.16.5.5/Asia. If this gateway is associated with additional contexts, the same IP address will be used in the URL for those contexts. For example if the context Europe is also configured to use gateway_1, users enter https://172.16.5.5/Europe to access the portal. After the configuration is delivered to the router, users must enter http://172.16.5.5:4443 to launch Cisco SDM using this IP address. Cisco SDM also begins to configure the first group policy, named policy_1.
19-41 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts, Gateways, and Policies User Authentication Window User chooses Locally on this router. User adds one user account to the existing list. Cisco SDM creates the authentication list sdm_vpn_xauth_ml_1. This list will be displayed in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN Contexts window when the user completes the wizard. Those users listed in the User Authentication window are the members of this authentication list, and will be governed by policy_1. Configure Intranet Websites Window User configures the URL list Ulist_1. The heading is Taiwan. The URL list with the heading Taiwan will be visible in the portal that users in sdm_vpn_xauth_ml_1 see when they log in. The URL list will be available for configuration in other group policies configured under the context Asia. Enable Full Tunnel Window User clicks Enable Full Tunnel, and selects a predefined address pool. No advanced options are configured. Client PCs will download Full Tunnel client software when they log in for the first time, and a full tunnel is established between the PC and the router when the user logs in to the portal. Customize SSL VPN Portal Window User chooses Ocean Breeze. Cisco SDM configures the HTTP display settings with this color scheme. The portal displayed when policy_1 users log in uses these settings. These portal settings also apply to all policies configured under the context Asia. The user can customize the HTTP display settings in the Edit SSL VPN windows after completing the wizard. SSL VPN Passthrough Configuration Window User checks Allow SSL VPN to work with NAC and Firewall Cisco SDM adds an ACL with the following entry. permit tcp any host 172.16.5.5 eq 443 Cisco IOS SSL VPN Wizard Window Configuration

No other features are configured. You can add features to policy_1, such as Thin Client and Common Internet File System by choosing Configure advanced features for an existing SSL VPN, choosing Asia and policy_1 in the Select the Cisco IOS SSL VPN user group window, then choosing the features in the Advanced Features window. Additional URL lists can also be configured in this wizard. You can create a new group policy under context Asia by choosing Add a new policy to an existing SSL VPN for a new group of users. You can customize settings and the policies configured for context Asia by choosing Asia in the context list and clicking Edit. The Edit SSL VPN Context Asia window displays a tree that allows you to configure more resources for the context, and to edit and configure additional policies. You can edit the settings for gateway_1 by clicking SSL VPN Gateways under the SSL VPN node, selecting gateway_1, then clicking Edit. How Do I... How do I topics explain common configuration tasks associated with this feature. How do I verify that my Cisco IOS SSL VPN is working? The best way to determine that a Cisco IOS SSL VPN context will provide the access that you configured for users is to configure yourself as a user, then attempt to access all the websites and services that the context is configured to provide for them. Use the following procedure as a guide in setting up this test. Step 1 Ensure that credentials you can use are included in all appropriate policies on the AAA server. Step 2 If you can do so, open a Cisco SDM session to the router so that you can monitor the Cisco IOS SSL VPN traffic that you will create. This must be done on a separate PC if the PC you use to test the Cisco IOS SSL VPN context is not in a network from which you can access Cisco SDM. Go to Monitor > VPN Status > SSL VPN.
Chapter 19 Cisco IOS SSL VPN How Do I... 19-44 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Step 3 Enter the URL to each of the web portals that are configured for this Cisco IOS SSL VPN context. Determine that each page has the appearance that you configured for it, and that all links specified in the URL lists for the policy appear on the page. Step 4 Test all links and services that should be available to users included in this policy. If any of the policies that you are testing provide for downloading Cisco Secure Desktop or the Full Tunnel client software, enter the URLs to the web portals for those policies and click the links that will require the download of this software. Determine that the software downloads properly and that you are able to access the services that a user should be able to access from these links. Step 5 If you were able to establish a Cisco SDM session before you began testing, click the branch for the context that you are testing and observe the Cisco IOS SSL VPN traffic statistics in the Cisco IOS SSL VPN window. Step 6 Based on the results of your tests, go back to Cisco SDM if necessary and fix any configuration problems you discovered. How do I configure a Cisco IOS SSL VPN after I have configured a firewall? If you have already configured a firewall, you can still use the Cisco IOS SSL VPN wizards in Cisco SDM to create Cisco IOS SSL VPN contexts and policies. Cisco SDM validates the Cisco IOS SSL VPN CLI commands that it generates against the existing configuration on the router. If it detects an existing firewall configuration that would have to be modified to allow Cisco IOS SSL VPN traffic to pass through, you are informed. You can allow Cisco SDM to make the necessary modifications to the firewall, or you can leave the firewall intact and make the changes manually by going to Configure > Firewall and ACL > Edit Firewall ACL and entering the permit statements that allow Cisco IOS SSL VPN traffic to pass through the firewall.

21 Security Audit Security Audit is a feature that examines your existing router configurations and then updates your router in order to make your router and network more secure. Security Audit is based on the Cisco IOS AutoSecure feature; it performs checks on and assists in configuration of almost all of the AutoSecure functions. For a complete list of the functions that Security Audit checks for, and for a list of the few AutoSecure features unsupported by Security Audit, see the topic Cisco SDM and Cisco IOS AutoSecure. Security Audit operates in one of two modesthe Security Audit wizard, which lets you choose which potential security-related configuration changes to implement on your router, and One-Step Lockdown, which automatically makes all recommended security-related configuration changes. Perform Security Audit This option starts the Security Audit wizard.

Disable Finger Service Security Audit disables the finger service whenever possible. Finger is used to find out which users are logged into a network device. Although this information is not usually tremendously sensitive, it can sometimes be useful to an attacker. In addition, the finger service can be used in a specific type of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack called Finger of death, which involves sending a finger request to a specific computer every minute, but never disconnecting. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable the Finger service is as follows: no service finger

Disable TCP Small Servers Service Security Audit disables small services whenever possible. By default, Cisco devices running Cisco IOS version 11.3 or earlier offer the small services: echo, chargen, and discard. (Small services are disabled by default in Cisco IOS software version 12.0 and later.) These services, especially their User Datagram Protocol (UDP) versions, are infrequently used for legitimate purposes, but they can be used to launch DoS and other attacks that would otherwise be prevented by packet filtering. For example, an attacker might send a Domain Name System (DNS) packet, falsifying the source address to be a DNS server that would otherwise be unreachable, and falsifying the source port to be the DNS service port (port 53). If such a packet were sent to the routers UDP echo port, the result would be the router sending a DNS packet to the server in question. No outgoing access list checks would be applied to this packet, since it would be considered to be locally generated by the router itself. Although most abuses of the small services can be avoided or made less dangerous by anti-spoofing access lists, the services should almost always be disabled in any router which is part of a firewall or lies in a security-critical part of the network. Since the services are rarely used, the best policy is usually to disable them on all routers of any description. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable TCP small servers is as follows: no service tcp-small-servers

The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable UDP small servers is as follows: no service udp-small-servers Disable IP BOOTP Server Service Security Audit disables the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) service whenever possible. BOOTP allows both routers and computers to automatically configure necessary Internet information from a centrally maintained server upon startup, including downloading Cisco IOS software. As a result, BOOTP can potentially be used by an attacker to download a copy of a routers Cisco IOS software. In addition, the BOOTP service is vulnerable to DoS attacks; therefore it should be disabled or filtered via a firewall for this reason as well.

Identification support allows you to query a TCP port for identification. This feature enables an unsecure protocol to report the identity of a client initiating a TCP connection and a host responding to the connection. With identification support, you can connect a TCP port on a host, issue a simple text string to request information, and receive a simple text-string reply. It is dangerous to allow any system on a directly connected segment to learn that the router is a Cisco device and to determine the model number and the Cisco IOS software version being run. This information may be used to design attacks against the router. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable the IP identification service is as follows: no ip identd This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable CDP Security Audit disables Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) whenever possible. CDP is a proprietary protocol that Cisco routers use to identify each other on a LAN segment. This is dangerous in that it allows any system on a directly connected segment to learn that the router is a Cisco device and to determine the model number and the Cisco IOS software version being run. This information may be used to design attacks against the router. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable CDP is as follows: no cdp run This fix can be undone.

Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-10 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Disable IP Source Route Security Audit disables IP source routing whenever possible. The IP protocol supports source routing options that allow the sender of an IP datagram to control the route that the datagram will take toward its ultimate destination, and generally the route that any reply will take. These options are rarely used for legitimate purposes in networks. Some older IP implementations do not process source-routed packets properly, and it may be possible to crash machines running these implementations by sending them datagrams with source routing options. Disabling IP source routing will cause a Cisco router to never forward an IP packet that carries a source routing option. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable IP source routing is as follows: no ip source-route This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Enable Password Encryption Service Security Audit enables password encryption whenever possible. Password encryption directs the Cisco IOS software to encrypt the passwords, Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) secrets, and similar data that are saved in its configuration file. This is useful for preventing casual observers from reading passwords, for example, when they happen to look at the screen over an administrators shoulder. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable password encryption is as follows: service password-encryption This fix can be undone.

Enabling TCP keep alives causes the router to generate periodic keep alive messages, letting it detect and drop broken Telnet connections. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable TCP keep alives for inbound Telnet sessions is as follows: service tcp-keepalives-in This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Enable TCP Keepalives for Outbound Telnet Sessions Security Audit enables TCP keep alive messages for both inbound and outbound Telnet sessions whenever possible. Enabling TCP keep alives causes the router to generate periodic keep alive messages, letting it detect and drop broken Telnet connections.

To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Enable Sequence Numbers and Time Stamps on Debugs Security Audit enables sequence numbers and time stamps on all debug and log messages whenever possible. Time stamps on debug and log messages indicate the time and date that the message was generated. Sequence numbers indicate the sequence in which messages that have identical time stamps were generated. Knowing the timing and sequence that messages are generated is an important tool in diagnosing potential attacks. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable time stamps and sequence numbers is as follows: service timestamps debug datetime localtime show-timezone msec service timestamps log datetime localtime show-timeout msec
Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-12 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 service sequence-numbers Enable IP CEF Security Audit enables Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) or Distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (DCEF) whenever possible. Because there is no need to build cache entries when traffic starts arriving at new destinations, CEF behaves more predictably than other modes when presented with large volumes of traffic addressed to many destinations. Routes configured for CEF perform better under SYN attacks than routers using the traditional cache. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable CEF is as follows: ip cef Disable IP Gratuitous ARPs Security Audit disables IP gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) requests whenever possible. A gratuitous ARP is an ARP broadcast in which the source and destination MAC addresses are the same. It is used primarily by a host to inform the network about its IP address. A spoofed gratuitous ARP message can cause network mapping information to be stored incorrectly, causing network malfunction. To disable gratuitous ARPs, the following configuration will be delivered to the router: no ip gratuitous-arps This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Set Minimum Password Length to Less Than 6 Characters Security Audit configures your router to require a minimum password length of six characters whenever possible. One method attackers use to crack passwords is to try all possible combinations of characters until the password is discovered. Longer passwords have exponentially more possible combinations of characters, making this method of attack much more difficult.
21-13 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page This configuration change will require every password on the router, including the user, enable, secret, console, AUX, tty, and vty passwords, to be at least six characters in length. This configuration change will be made only if the Cisco IOS version running on your router supports the minimum password length feature. The configuration that will be delivered to the router is as follows: security passwords min-length <6> Set Authentication Failure Rate to Less Than 3 Retries Security Audit configures your router to lock access after three unsuccessful login attempts whenever possible. One method of cracking passwords, called the dictionary attack, is to use software that attempts to log in using every word in a dictionary. This configuration causes access to the router to be locked for a period of 15 seconds after three unsuccessful login attempts, disabling the dictionary method of attack. In addition to locking access to the router, this configuration causes a log message to be generated after three unsuccessful login attempts, warning the administrator of the unsuccessful login attempts. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to lock router access after three unsuccessful login attempts is as follows: security authentication failure rate <3> Set TCP Synwait Time Security Audit sets the TCP synwait time to 10 seconds whenever possible. The TCP synwait time is a value that is useful in defeating SYN flooding attacks, a form of Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. A TCP connection requires a three-phase handshake to initially establish the connection. A connection request is sent by the originator, an acknowledgement is sent by the receiver, and then an acceptance of that acknowledgement is sent by the originator. Once this three-phase handshake is complete, the connection is complete and data transfer can begin. A SYN flooding attack sends repeated connection requests to a host, but never sends the acceptance of acknowledgements that complete the connections, creating increasingly more incomplete connections at the host. Because the buffer for incomplete connections is usually smaller than the buffer for completed
Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-14 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 connections, this can overwhelm and disable the host. Setting the TCP synwait time to 10 seconds causes the router to shut down an incomplete connection after 10 seconds, preventing the buildup of incomplete connections at the host. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to set the TCP synwait time to 10 seconds is as follows: ip tcp synwait-time <10> Set Banner Security Audit configures a text banner whenever possible. In some jurisdictions, civil and/or criminal prosecution of crackers who break into your systems is made much easier if you provide a banner informing unauthorized users that their use is in fact unauthorized. In other jurisdictions, you may be forbidden to monitor the activities of even unauthorized users unless you have taken steps to notify them of your intent to do so. The text banner is one method of performing this notification. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to create a text banner is as follows, replacing <company name>, <administrator email address>, and <administrator phone number> with the appropriate values that you enter into Security Audit: banner ~ Authorized access only This system is the property of <company name> Enterprise. Disconnect IMMEDIATELY as you are not an authorized user! Contact <administrator email address> <administrator phone number>. ~ Enable Logging Security Audit will enable logging with time stamps and sequence numbers whenever possible. Because it gives detailed information about network events, logging is critical in recognizing and responding to security events. Time stamps and sequence numbers provide information about the date and time and sequence in which network events occur. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable and configure logging is as follows, replacing <log buffer size> and <logging server ip address> with the appropriate values that you enter into Security Audit:

The enable secret command is used to set the password that grants privileged administrative access to the Cisco IOS system. The enable secret command uses a much more secure encryption algorithm (MD5) to protect that password than the older enable password command. This stronger encryption is an essential means of protecting the router password, and thus network access. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to configure the command is as follows: enable secret <> Disable SNMP Security Audit disables the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) whenever possible. SNMP is a network protocol that provides a facility for retrieving and posting data about network performance and processes. It is very widely used for router monitoring, and frequently for router configuration changes as well. Version 1 of the SNMP protocol, however, which is the most commonly used, is often a security risk for the following reasons: It uses authentication strings (passwords) called community strings which are stored and sent across the network in plain text. Most SNMP implementations send those strings repeatedly as part of periodic polling. It is an easily spoofable, datagram-based transaction protocol. Because SNMP can be used to retrieve a copy of the network routing table, as well as other sensitive network information, Cisco recommends disabling SNMP if your network does not require it. Security Audit will initially request to disable SNMP.
Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-16 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable SNMP is as follows: no snmp-server Set Scheduler Interval Security Audit configures the scheduler interval on the router whenever possible. When a router is fast-switching a large number of packets, it is possible for the router to spend so much time responding to interrupts from the network interfaces that no other work gets done. Some very fast packet floods can cause this condition. It may stop administrative access to the router, which is very dangerous when the device is under attack. Tuning the scheduler interval ensures that management access to the router is always available by causing the router to run system processes after the specified time interval even when CPU usage is at 100%. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to tune the scheduler interval is as follows: scheduler interval 500 Set Scheduler Allocate On routers that do not support the command scheduler interval, Security Audit configures the scheduler allocate command whenever possible. When a router is fast-switching a large number of packets, it is possible for the router to spend so much time responding to interrupts from the network interfaces that no other work gets done. Some very fast packet floods can cause this condition. It may stop administrative access to the router, which is very dangerous when the device is under attack. The scheduler allocate command guarantees a percentage of the router CPU processes for activities other than network switching, such as management processes. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to set the scheduler allocate percentage is as follows: scheduler allocate 4000 1000
21-17 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page Set Users Security Audit secures the console, AUX, vty, and tty lines by configuring Telnet user accounts to authenticate access to these lines whenever possible. Security Audit will display a dialog box that lets you define user accounts and passwords for these lines. Enable Telnet Settings Security Audit secures the console, AUX, vty, and tty lines by implementing the following configurations whenever possible: Configures transport input and transport output commands to define which protocols can be used to connect to those lines. Sets the exec-timeout value to 10 minutes on the console and AUX lines, causing an administrative user to be logged out from these lines after 10 minutes of no activity. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to secure the console, AUX, vty, and tty lines is as follows: ! line console 0 transport output telnet exec-timeout 10 login local ! line AUX 0 transport output telnet exec-timeout 10 login local ! line vty . transport input telnet login local Enable NetFlow Switching Security Audit enables NetFlow switching whenever possible. NetFlow switching is a Cisco IOS feature that enhances routing performance while using Access Control Lists (ACLs) and other features that create and enhance network security.
Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-18 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 NetFlow identifies flows of network packets based on the source and destination IP addresses and TCP port numbers. NetFlow then can use just the initial packet of a flow for comparison to ACLs and for other security checks, rather than having to use every packet in the network flow. This enhances performance, allowing you to make use of all of the router security features. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable NetFlow is as follows: ip route-cache flow This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable IP Redirects Security Audit disables Internet Message Control Protocol (ICMP) redirect messages whenever possible. ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. ICMP redirect messages instruct an end node to use a specific router as its path to a particular destination. In a properly functioning IP network, a router will send redirects only to hosts on its own local subnets, no end node will ever send a redirect, and no redirect will ever be traversed more than one network hop. However, an attacker may violate these rules; some attacks are based on this. Disabling ICMP redirects will cause no operational impact to the network, and it eliminates this possible method of attack. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable ICMP redirect messages is as follows: no ip redirects Disable IP Proxy ARP Security Audit disables proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) whenever possible. ARP is used by the network to convert IP addresses into MAC addresses. Normally ARP is confined to a single LAN, but a router can act as a proxy for ARP requests, making ARP queries available across multiple LAN segments. Because it breaks the LAN security barrier, proxy ARP should be used only between two LANs with an equal security level, and only when necessary.
21-19 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable proxy ARP is as follows: no ip proxy-arp This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable IP Directed Broadcast Security Audit disables IP directed broadcasts whenever possible. An IP directed broadcast is a datagram which is sent to the broadcast address of a subnet to which the sending machine is not directly attached. The directed broadcast is routed through the network as a unicast packet until it arrives at the target subnet, where it is converted into a link-layer broadcast. Because of the nature of the IP addressing architecture, only the last router in the chain, the one that is connected directly to the target subnet, can conclusively identify a directed broadcast. Directed broadcasts are occasionally used for legitimate purposes, but such use is not common outside the financial services industry. IP directed broadcasts are used in the extremely common and popular smurf Denial-of-Service attack, and they can also be used in related attacks. In a smurf attack, the attacker sends ICMP echo requests from a falsified source address to a directed broadcast address, causing all the hosts on the target subnet to send replies to the falsified source. By sending a continuous stream of such requests, the attacker can create a much larger stream of replies, which can completely inundate the host whose address is being falsified. Disabling IP directed broadcasts causes directed broadcasts that would otherwise be exploded into link-layer broadcasts at that interface to be dropped instead. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable IP directed broadcasts is as follows: no ip directed-broadcast This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes.

To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable IP Unreachables Security Audit disables Internet Message Control Protocol (ICMP) host unreachable messages whenever possible. ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. ICMP host unreachable messages are sent out if a router receives a nonbroadcast packet that uses an unknown protocol, or if the router receives a packet that it is unable to deliver to the ultimate destination because it knows of no route to the destination address. These messages can be used by an attacker to gain network mapping information. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable ICMP host unreachable messages is as follows: int <all-interfaces> no ip unreachables This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable IP Mask Reply Security Audit disables Internet Message Control Protocol (ICMP) mask reply messages whenever possible. ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. ICMP mask reply messages are sent when a network devices must know the subnet mask for a particular subnetwork
21-21 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page in the internetwork. ICMP mask reply messages are sent to the device requesting the information by devices that have the requested information. These messages can be used by an attacker to gain network mapping information. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to disable ICMP mask reply messages is as follows: no ip mask-reply This fix can be undone. To learn how, click Undoing Security Audit Fixes. Disable IP Unreachables on NULL Interface Security Audit disables Internet Message Control Protocol (ICMP) host unreachable messages whenever possible. ICMP supports IP traffic by relaying information about paths, routes, and network conditions. ICMP host unreachable messages are sent out if a router receives a nonbroadcast packet that uses an unknown protocol, or if the router receives a packet that it is unable to deliver to the ultimate destination because it knows of no route to the destination address. Because the null interface is a packet sink, packets forwarded there will always be discarded and, unless disabled, will generate host unreachable messages. In that case, if the null interface is being used to block a Denial-of-Service attack, these messages flood the local network with these messages. Disabling these messages prevents this situation. In addition, because all blocked packets are forwarded to the null interface, an attacker receiving host unreachable messages could use those messages to determine Access Control List (ACL) configuration. If the null 0 interface is configured on your router, Security Audit will deliver the following configuration to the router to disable ICMP host unreachable messages for discarded packets or packets routed to the null interface is as follows: int null 0 no ip unreachables This fix can be undone.

Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page 21-22 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Enable Unicast RPF on Outside Interfaces Security Audit enables unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) on all interfaces that connect to the Internet whenever possible. RPF is a feature that causes the router to check the source address of any packet against the interface through which the packet entered the router. If the input interface is not a feasible path to the source address according to the routing table, the packet will be dropped. This source address verification is used to defeat IP spoofing. This works only when routing is symmetric. If the network is designed in such a way that traffic from host A to host B may normally take a different path than traffic from host B to host A, the check will always fail, and communication between the two hosts will be impossible. This sort of asymmetric routing is common in the Internet core. Ensure that your network does not use asymmetric routing before enabling this feature. In addition, unicast RPF can be enabled only when IP Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is enabled. Security Audit will check the router configuration to see if IP CEF is enabled. If IP CEF is not enabled, Security Audit will recommend that IP CEF be enabled and will enable it if the recommendation is approved. If IP CEF is not enabled, by Security Audit or otherwise, unicast RPF will not be enabled. To enable unicast RPF, the following configuration will be delivered to the router for each interface that connects outside of the private network, replacing <outside interface> with the interface identifier: interface <outside interface> ip verify unicast reverse-path Enable Firewall on All of the Outside Interfaces If the Cisco IOS image running on the router includes the Firewall feature set, then Security Audit will enable Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) on the router whenever possible. CBAC, a component of the Cisco IOS Firewall feature set, filters packets based on application-layer information, such as what kinds of commands are being executed within the session. For example, if a command that is not supported is discovered in a session, the packet can be denied access. CBAC enhances security for TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) applications that use well-known ports, such as port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). It does this by scrutinizing source and destination
21-23 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 21 Security Audit Fix It Page addresses. Without CBAC, advanced application traffic is permitted only by writing Access Control Lists (ACLs). This approach leaves firewall doors open, so most administrators tend to deny all such application traffic. With CBAC enabled, however, you can securely permit multimedia and other application traffic by opening the firewall as needed and closing it all other times. To enable CBAC, Security Audit will use Cisco SDMs Create Firewall screens to generate a firewall configuration. Set Access Class on HTTP Server Service Security Audit enables the HTTP service on the router with an access class whenever possible. The HTTP service permits remote configuration and monitoring using a web browser, but is limited in its security because it sends a clear-text password over the network during the authentication process. Security Audit therefore limits access to the HTTP service by configuring an access class that permits access only from directly connected network nodes. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to enable the HTTP service with an access class is as follows: ip http server ip http access-class <std-acl-num> ! !HTTP Access-class:Allow initial access to direct connected subnets ! !only access-list <std-acl-num> permit <inside-network> access-list <std-acl-num> deny any Set Access Class on VTY Lines Security Audit configures an access class for vty lines whenever possible. Because vty connections permit remote access to your router, they should be limited only to known network nodes. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to configure an access class for vty lines is as follows: access-list <std-acl-num> permit <inside-network> access-list <std-acl-num> deny any In addition, the following configuration will be applied to each vty line:

SSH makes Telnet access much more secure. Set the SSH timeout value to 60 seconds, causing incomplete SSH connections to shut down after 60 seconds. Set the maximum number of unsuccessful SSH login attempts to two before locking access to the router. The configuration that will be delivered to the router to secure access and file transfer functions is as follows: ip ssh time-out 60 ip ssh authentication-retries 2 ! line vty 0 4 transport input ssh ! Note After making the configuration changes above, you must specify the SSH modulus key size and generate a key. Use the SSH page to do so. Enable AAA Cisco IOS Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) is an architectural framework for configuring a set of three independent security functions in a consistent manner. AAA provides a modular way of performing authentication, authorization, and accounting services.

23 Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) is a robust form of address translation that extends addressing capabilities by providing both static address translations and dynamic address translations. NAT allows a host that does not have a valid registered IP address to communicate with other hosts through the Internet. The hosts may be using private addresses or addresses assigned to another organization; in either case, NAT allows these addresses that are not Internet-ready to continue to be used but still allow communication with hosts across the Internet. Network Address Translation Wizards You can use a wizard to guide you in creating a Network Address Translation (NAT) rule. Choose one of the following wizards: Basic NAT Choose the Basic NAT wizard if you want to connect your network to the Internet (or the outside), and your network has hosts but no servers. Look at the sample diagram that appears to the right when you choose Basic NAT. If your network is made up only of PCs that require access to the Internet, choose Basic NAT and click the Launch button. Advanced NAT Choose the Advanced NAT wizard if you want to connect your network to the Internet (or the outside), and your network has hosts and servers, and the servers must be accessible to outside hosts (hosts on the Internet). Look at the sample diagram that appears to the right when you choose Advanced NAT.

Network Address Translation Rules The Network Address Translation Rules window lets you view NAT rules, view address pools, and set translation timeouts. From this window you can also designate interfaces as inside or outside interfaces. For more information on NAT, follow the link More About NAT. Designate NAT Interfaces Click to designate interfaces as inside or outside. NAT uses the inside/outside designations as reference points when interpreting translation rules. Inside interfaces are those interfaces connected to the private networks that the router serves. Outside interfaces connect to the WAN or to the Internet. The designated inside and outside interfaces are listed above the NAT rule list. Address Pools Click this button to configure or edit address pools. Address pools are used with dynamic address translation. The router can dynamically assign addresses from the pool as they are needed. When an address is no longer needed, it is returned to the pool.
23-9 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 23 Network Address Translation Network Address Translation Rules Translation Timeouts When dynamic NAT is configured, translation entries have a timeout period after which they expire and are purged from the translation table. Click this button to configure the timeout values for NAT translation entries and other values. Network Address Translation Rules This area shows the designated inside and outside interfaces and the NAT rules that have been configured. Inside Interfaces The inside interfaces are the interfaces that connect to the private networks the router serves. NAT uses the inside designation when interpreting a NAT translation rule. You can designate interfaces as inside by clicking Designate NAT interfaces. Outside Interfaces The outside interfaces are the router interfaces that connect to the WAN or the Internet. NAT uses the outside designation when interpreting a NAT translation rule. You can designate interfaces as outside by clicking Designate NAT interfaces. Original Address This is the private address or set of addresses that is used on the LAN. Translated Address This is the legal address or range of addresses that is used on the Internet or the external network. Rule Type Rules are either static address translation rules or dynamic address translation rules. Static address translation allows hosts with private addresses to access the Internet and to be publicly accessible from the Internet. It statically maps one private IP address to one public or global address. If you wanted to provide static translation to ten private addresses, you would create a separate static rule for each address.
Chapter 23 Network Address Translation Network Address Translation Rules 23-10 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Dynamic address translation. There are two methods of dynamic addressing using NAT. One method maps multiple private addresses to a single public address and the port numbers of host sessions to determine which host to route returning traffic to. The second method uses named address pools. These address pools contain public addresses. When a host with a private address needs to establish communication outside the LAN, it is given a public address from this pool. When the host no longer needs it, the address is returned to the pool. Clone selected entry on Add If you want to use an existing rule as the basis for a new rule that you want to create, choose the rule and check this check box. When you click Add, the addresses in the rule you chose appear in the Add Address Translation Rule window. You can edit these addresses to obtain the ones you need for the new rule instead of entering the entire address into each field. What Do You Want to Do? If you want to: Do this: Designate the inside and outside interfaces. You must designate at least one inside interface and one outside interface in order for the router to perform NAT. Click Designate NAT interfaces, and designate interfaces as inside or outside in the NAT Interface Setting window. Interfaces can also be designated as inside or outside interfaces in the Interfaces and Connections window. Add, edit, or delete an address pool.

Chapter 23 Network Address Translation Network Address Translation Rules 23-12 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Designate NAT Interfaces Use this window to designate the inside and outside interfaces that you want to use in NAT translations. NAT uses the inside and outside designations when interpreting translation rules, because translations are performed from inside to outside, or from outside to inside. Once designated, these interfaces are used in all NAT translation rules. The designated interfaces appear above the Translation Rules list in the main NAT window. Interface All router interfaces are listed in this column. Inside (trusted) Check to designate an interface as an inside interface. Inside interfaces typically connect to a LAN that the router serves. Outside (untrusted) Check to designate an interface as an outside interface. Outside interfaces typically connect to your organizations WAN or to the Internet. Translation Timeout Settings When you configure dynamic NAT translation rules, translation entries have a timeout period after which they expire and are purged from the translation table. Set the timeout values for various translations in this window. DNS Timeout Enter the number of seconds after which connections to DNS servers time out. ICMP Timeout Enter the number of seconds after which Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) flows time out. The default is 60 seconds.

Reset Button Clicking this button resets translation and timeout parameters to their default values. Edit Route Map When VPNs and NAT are both configured on a router, packets that would normally meet the criteria for an IPSec rule will not do so if NAT translates their IP addresses. In this case, NAT translation will cause packets to be sent without being encrypted. Cisco SDM may create route maps to prevent NAT from translating IP addresses that you want to be preserved. Although Cisco SDM only creates route maps to limit the action of NAT, route maps can be used for other purposes as well. If route maps have been created using the CLI, they will be visible in this window as well.

Add or Edit Static Address Translation Rule: Inside to Outside Use this help topic when you have chosen From Inside to Outside in the Add or the Edit Static Address Translation Rule window. Use this window to add or edit a static address translation rule. If you are editing a rule, the rule type (static or dynamic) and the direction are disabled. If you need to change these settings, delete the rule, and re-create it using the settings you want. Two types of static address translations use NAT: simple static and extended static. Note If you create a NAT rule that would translate addresses of devices that are part of a VPN, Cisco SDM will prompt you to allow it to create a route map that protects those addresses from being translated by NAT. If NAT is allowed to translate addresses of devices on a VPN, their translated addresses will not match the IPSec rule used in the IPSec policy, and traffic will be sent unencrypted. You can view route maps created by Cisco SDM or created using the CLI by clicking the View Route Maps button in the NAT window.

24 Cisco IOS IPS The Cisco IOS Intrusion Prevention System (Cisco IOS IPS) allows you to manage intrusion prevention on routers that use Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)T4 or later releases. Cisco IOS IPS lets you monitor and prevents intrusions by comparing traffic against signatures of known threats and blocking the traffic when a threat is detected. Cisco SDM lets you control the application of Cisco IOS IPS on interfaces, import and edit signature definition files (SDF) from Cisco.com, and configure the action that Cisco IOS IPS is to take if a threat is detected. IPS Tabs Use the tabs at the top of the IPS window to go to the area where you need to work. Create IPSClick to go to the IPS Rule wizard to create a new Cisco IOS IPS rule. Edit IPSClick to edit Cisco IOS IPS rules and apply or remove them from interfaces. Security DashboardClick to view the Top Threats table and deploy signatures associated with those threats.

Create IPS In this window you can launch the IPS Rule wizard. The IPS Rule wizard prompts you for the following information: The interface on which to apply the rule The traffic on which to apply Cisco IOS IPS (inbound, outbound, or both) The location of the signature definition file (SDF) For Cisco IOS 12.4(11) or later images, you are also prompted for the following information: Where you want to store files that contain changes to the IOS IPS configuration. A file that stores this type of information is referred to as a delta file. The public key to use to access the information in the delta files. The signature category. The basic signature category is appropriate for routers with less than 128 Mb of flash memory. The advanced signature category is appropriate for routers with more than 128 Mb of flash memory. The use case scenario illustrates a configuration in which a Cisco IOS IPS rule is used. After you create the Cisco IOS IPS rule and deliver the configuration to the router, you can modify the rule by clicking the Edit IPS tab.

Click Next to begin configuring a Cisco IOS IPS rule. Create IPS: Select Interfaces Choose the interfaces on which you want to apply the Cisco IOS IPS rule by specifying whether the rule is to be applied to inbound traffic or outbound traffic. If you check both the inbound and the outbound boxes, the rule applies to traffic flowing in both directions. For example: the following settings apply Cisco IOS IPS to inbound traffic on the BRI 0 interface, and both inbound and outbound traffic on the FastEthernet 0 interface. Create IPS: SDF Location Cisco IOS IPS examines traffic by comparing it against signatures contained in a signature definition file (SDF). The SDF can be located in router flash memory or on a remote system that the router can reach. You can specify multiple SDF locations so that if the router is not able to contact the first location, it can attempt to contact other locations until it obtains an SDF. Use the Add, Delete, Move Up, and Move Down buttons to add, remove, and order a list of SDF locations that the router can attempt to contact to obtain an SDF. The router starts at the first entry, and works down the list until it obtains an SDF. Cisco IOS images that support Cisco IOS IPS contain built-in signatures. If you check the box at the bottom of the window, the router will use the built-in signatures only if it cannot obtain an SDF from any location in the list.

Signature ID The unique numerical value assigned to this signature. This value allows the Cisco IOS IPS to identify a particular signature.
24-47 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 24 Cisco IOS IPS Edit IPS Subsignature ID The unique numerical value assigned to this subsignature. A subsignature ID is used to identify a more granular version of a broad signature. Alert Severity Choose one of the following to categorize the severity of the alert: High, Medium, Low, or Informational. Sig Fidelity Rating The signature fidelity rating is a value set by the author of the signature to quantify the confidence that the signature will produce true positives. This value is set before a signature is deployed and can be adjusted when signature performance data is available. Promiscuous Delta The promiscuous delta is a factor that is subtracted from the risk rating (RR) of an event when the router is operating in promiscuous mode. The Promiscuous Delta is subtracted from the RR every time an alert is triggered when the system is deployed in promiscuous mode. Note Even though the promiscuous delta can be reconfigured on a signature basis, it is not recommended that you change any of the predefined promiscuous-delta settings. Sig Description The signature description includes the signature name and release, any alert notes available from the Cisco Security Center, user comments, and other information. Engine The signature engine associated with this signature. One commonly-used engine is named Atomic IP.
Chapter 24 Cisco IOS IPS Edit IPS 24-48 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 The Engine box contains fields that allow you to tune a wide variety of signature parameters. For example, you can specify the action to be taken if this signature is matched and an event is generated, you can specify the layer 4 protocol to inspect for events matching this signature, and you can specify IP parameters, such as header length and type of service. Event Counter The controls in the Event Counter box allow you to specify the parameters described in the following sections. Event Count The number of times an event must occur before an alert is generated. Event Count Key The type of information to use to count an event as occurring. For example, if you choose both attacker and victim addresses and ports, each time you have these 4 pieces of information for an event, the count increments by 1. If you choose attacker address, only that piece of information is needed. Event Interval The number of seconds between events being sent to the log. If you select Yes, an additional field is displayed allowing you to enter the number of seconds. Alert Frequency The purpose of the alert frequency parameter is to reduce the volume of the alerts written to the log, Summary Mode There are four modes: Fire All, Fire Once, Summarize, and Global Summarize. The summary mode is changed dynamically to adapt to the current alert volume. For example, you can configure the signature to Fire All, but after a certain threshold is reached, it starts summarizing.
24-49 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 24 Cisco IOS IPS Edit IPS Summary Key The type of information to use to determine when to summarize.

Signature reports and downloads are available at this link (requires login): http://tools.cisco.com/MySDN/Intelligence/searchSignatures.x IPS-Supplied Signature Definition Files To ensure that the router has as many signatures available as its memory can accommodate, Cisco SDM is shipped with one of the following SDFs: 256MB.sdfIf the amount of RAM available is greater than 256 MB. The 256MB.sdf file contains 500 signatures. 128MB.sdfIf the amount of RAM available is between 128 MB and 256 MB. The 128MB.sdf file contains 300 signatures. attack-drop.sdfIf the amount of available RAM is 127 MB or less. The attack-drop.sdf file contains 82 signatures. If your router runs Cisco IOS version 12.4(11)T or later, you must use an SDF file that has a name of the format sigv5-SDM-Sxxx.zip; for example, sigv5-SDM-S260.zip. Note The router must be running Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)T or later releases to be able to use all the available signature engines in 256MB.sdf and 128MB.sdf files. If the router uses an earlier release, not all signature engines will be available. To use an SDF in router memory, determine which SDF has been installed and then configure Cisco IOS IPS to use it. The procedures that follow show you how to do this. Determine Which SDF File Is in Memory To determine which SDF file is in router memory, open a Telnet session to the router, and enter the show flash command. The output will be similar to the following: System flash directory:

Chapter 24 Cisco IOS IPS Security Dashboard 24-58 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Select SDF Click the Browse button and choose the Cisco IOS SDF file to use. The Cisco IOS SDF file must be present on your PC. The format that the filename has depends on the version of Cisco IOS the router is running. If the router is running a Cisco IOS image earlier than 12.4(11)T, the SDF must have a name with the format IOS-Sxxx.zip, where xxx is a three-digit number. For example: a Cisco IOS IPS SDF file may be named IOS-S193.zip. If the router is running a Cisco IOS image of version 12.4(11)T or later, the SDF must have a name with the format sigv5-SDM-Sxxx.zip; for example, sigv5-SDM-S260.zip The location of a Cisco IOS SDF file you choose is shown in the SDF file location field. The SDF file location field is read-only. After the first time you download a Cisco IOS SDF file, Cisco SDM remembers the location of the file. The next time you load the Security Dashboard, Cisco SDM will select the latest Cisco IOS SDF file based on the three-digit number in the files name. Note The Cisco IOS SDF file with the highest three-digit number in its name is the latest Cisco IOS SDF file. Deploying Signatures From the Top Threats Table Before attempting to deploy signatures from the Top Threats table, ensure that you have: Configured Cisco IOS IPS on your router Downloaded the latest Cisco IOS file to your PC To deploy signatures from the Top Threats table, follow these steps: Step 1 Click the Update top threats list button to ensure that you have the latest top threats list.

25-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 25 Network Module Management IDS Network Module Management IDS NM Monitoring Interface Settings This area of the window shows which router interfaces have traffic sent to the IDS network module for monitoring. Configure Click to add or remove interfaces from this list. When you click Configure, Cisco SDM verifies that the IDS Network Module has been configured, and that the router has all the configuration settings necessary to communicate with the IDS Network Module. If any configurations are not in place, Cisco SDM displays a checklist showing you what has been configured and what has not been configured. You can click on the items that have not been configured to complete the configuration, and then have Cisco SDM reverify that these items have been configured so that you can then add or remove interfaces from the IDS Network Module Interface Settings list. IDS Sensor Interface IP Address Cisco SDM must communicate with the IDS network module using the IP address of the modules internal Fast Ethernet interface. This window appears when Cisco SDM cannot detect this IP address, and enables you to supply one without leaving Cisco SDM to do so. If the IDS network module has been configured with a static IP address, or configured as IP unnumbered to another interface with an IP address, this window will not appear. Entering an IP address in this window may create a new loopback interface. Loopback interfaces can be displayed in the Interfaces and Connections window. The IP address you enter will only be seen by the router. Therefore, it can be any address you want to use. A check mark icon next to the interface name indicates that the IDS network module is monitoring the traffic on that interface. A red icon with an X next to the interface name indicates that the IDS network module is not monitoring the traffic on that interface.
Chapter 25 Network Module Management IDS Network Module Management 25-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 IP Address Enter an IP address to use for the IDS Sensor interface. Cisco SDM will do the following: Create a loopback interface. The number 255 is used if available, if not, another number will be used. This loopback interface will be listed in the Interfaces and Connections window. Configure the loopback interface with the IP address you enter. Configure the IDS network module IP unnumbered to the loopback interface. If the IDS network module has already been configured IP unnumbered to an existing loopback interface, but the interface does not have a valid IP address, the loopback interface is given the IP address you enter in this window. IP Address Determination Cisco SDM displays this window when it needs to determine the IP address of a network module that you are attempting to manage. This is typically the IP address of the modules external Ethernet interface. Cisco SDM can use the address it used the last time the management application was run, it can attempt to discover the IP address, or it can accept an address that you provide in this window. Select a method, and click OK. If the method you choose fails, you can select another method. Use Cisco SDM last known IP Address Click to have Cisco SDM use the IP address that it used the last time that the management application for this network module was run. If the IP address of module has not been changed since the management application was last run, and you do not want Cisco SDM to attempt discovery of the address, use this option. Let Cisco SDM discover IP address Click to have Cisco SDM attempt to discover the network modules IP address. You can use this option if you do not know the IP address, and you are not sure that the last address Cisco SDM used to contact the network module is still correct.

IDS NM Configuration Checklist This window is displayed when you have clicked Configure in the IDS Network Module Management window to specify the router interfaces whose traffic is to be analyzed, but the IDS network module or the router lacks a configuration setting required for the two devices to communicate. It shows which configuration settings are needed, and in some cases, allows you to complete the configuration from within Cisco SDM. IDS NM Sensor Interface A check mark icon in the Action column means the configuration setting has been made. An X icon in the Action column means that the configuration setting must be made in order for the router to be able to communicate with the IDS network module. If this row contains an X icon in the Action column, the IDS NM Sensor interface has not been configured with an IP address. Double-click the row and enter an IP address for the IDS Sensor in the dialog displayed. The IDS Sensor IP address is the address that Cisco SDM and the router use when communicating with the IDS network module. This IP address can be a private address; no hosts other than the router it is installed in will be able to reach the address.

27 Network Admission Control Network Admission Control (NAC) protects data networks from computer viruses by assessing the health of client workstations, ensuring that they receive the latest available virus signature updates, and controlling their access to the network. NAC works with antivirus software to assess the condition of a client, called the clients posture, before allowing the client access to the network. NAC ensures that a network client has an up-to-date virus signature set which has not been infected. If the client requires a signature update, NAC directs it to complete the update. If the client has been compromised or if a virus outbreak is occurring on the network, NAC places the client into a quarantined network segment until disinfection is completed. For more information on NAC, click the following links: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns466/networking_solutions_package.htm l http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns466/c654/cdccont_ 0900aecd80217e26.pdf Create NAC Tab You use the Create NAC tab and NAC wizard to create a NAC policy and associate it with an interface. After you create the NAC policy, you can edit it by clicking Edit NAC and choosing it in the policy list.

If you are a registered Cisco.com user, you can download Cisco Trust Agent (CTA) software from the following link: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cta The document at the following link explains how to install and configure CTA software on a host. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5923/products_administration_guide_b ook09186a008023f7a5.html The document at the following link contains an overview of the configuration process. http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns466/c654/cdccont_0 900aecd80217e26.pdf Documents at the following link explain how to install and configure Cisco Secure ACS for Windows Servers version 3.3. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_soft/csacs4nt/acs3 3/index.htm Welcome The NAC wizard enables you to do the following: Choose the interface on which NAC is to be enabledHosts attempting access to the network through this interface must undergo the NAC validation process. Configure NAC Policy ServersAdmission control polices are configured on these servers, and the router contacts them when a network host attempts to access the network. You can specify information for multiple servers. NAC policy servers use the RADIUS protocol.
Chapter 27 Network Admission Control Create NAC Tab 27-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Configure a NAC exception listHosts such as printers, IP phones, and hosts without NAC posture agents installed may need to bypass the NAC process. Hosts with static IP addresses and other devices can be identified in an exception list, and be handled using an associated exception policy. Hosts can also be identified by their MAC address, or by their device type. Configure an agentless host policyIf you want to use a policy residing on a Cisco Secure ACS server to handle hosts without an installed posture agent, you can do so. When the Cisco Secure ACS server receives a packet from an agentless host, it responds by sending the agentless host policy. Configuring an agentless host policy is useful when there are agentless hosts that are dynamically addressed, such as DHCP clients. Configuring NAC for remote accessHosts using Cisco SDM to manage the router must be allowed access. The wizard lets you specify IP addresses for remote management so that Cisco SDM can modify the NAC ACL to allow the hosts with those addresses access to the router. Configuring NAC on the router is the last step in a NAC configuration. Before you configure the router with this feature, Complete the steps described in the following link: Other Tasks in a NAC Implementation. NAC Policy Servers NAC admission control policies are configured and stored in a policy database residing on RADIUS servers running Cisco Secure ACS version 3.3. The router must validate the credentials of network hosts by communicating with the RADIUS server. Use this window to provide the information the router needs to contact the RADIUS servers. Each RADIUS server that you specify must have Cisco Secure Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) software version 3.3 installed and configured. Choose the RADIUS client source Configuring the RADIUS source allows you to specify the source IP address to be sent in RADIUS packets bound for the RADIUS server. If you need more information about an interface, choose the interface and click the Details button. The source IP address in the RADIUS packets sent from the router must be configured as the NAD IP address in the Cisco ACS version 3.3 or later.
27-5 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 27 Network Admission Control Create NAC Tab If you choose Router chooses source, the source IP address in the RADIUS packets will be the address of the interface through which the RADIUS packets exit the router. If you choose an interface, the source IP address in the RADIUS packets will be the address of the interface that you chose as the RADIUS client source. Note Cisco IOS software allows a single RADIUS source interface to be configured on the router. If the router already has a configured RADIUS source and you choose a different source, the source IP address placed in the packets sent to the RADIUS server changes to the IP address of the new source, and may not match the NAD IP address configured on the Cisco ACS. Details Button If you need a quick snapshot of the information about an interface before choosing it, click Details. The screen shows you the IP address and subnet mask, the access rules and inspection rules applied to the interface, the IPSec policy and QoS policy applied, and whether there is an Easy VPN configuration on the interface. Server IP, Timeout, and Parameters Columns The Server IP, Timeout, and Parameters columns contain the information that the router uses to contact a RADIUS server. If no RADIUS server information is associated with the chosen interface, these columns are blank. Use for NAC Check Box Check this box if you want to use the listed RADIUS server for NAC. The server must have the required admissions control policies configured if NAC is to be able to use the server. Add, Edit, and Ping Buttons To provide information for a RADIUS server, click the Add button and enter the information in the screen displayed. Choose a row and click Edit to modify the information for a RADIUS server. Choose a row and click Ping to test the connection between the router and a RADIUS server.
Chapter 27 Network Admission Control Create NAC Tab 27-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Note When performing a ping test, enter the IP address of the RADIUS source interface in the source field in the ping dialog. If you chose Router chooses source, you need not provide any value in the ping dialog source field. The Edit and Ping buttons are disabled when no RADIUS server information is available for the chosen interface. Interface Selection Choose the interface on which to enable NAC in this window. Choose the interface through which network hosts connect to the network. Click the Details button to display the policies and rules associated with the interface you choose. The window displays the names of the ACLs applied to inbound and to outbound traffic on this interface. If an inbound ACL is already present on the interface, Cisco SDM uses that ACL for NAC by adding appropriate permit statements for EAPoUDP traffic. If the IP address of the interface on which NAC is being applied were 192.55.22.33, a sample permit statement might be the following: access-list 100 permit udp any eq 21862 192.55.22.33 The permit statement that Cisco SDM adds uses the port number 21862 for the EAPoUDP protocol. If the network hosts run EAPoUDP on a custom port number, you must modify this ACL entry to use the port number that the hosts use. If no inbound ACL is configured on the interface you specify, you can have Cisco SDM apply an ACL to the interface. You can choose a recommended policy, or a policy that simply monitors reported NAC postures. Strict Validation (Recommended)Cisco SDM applies an ACL that denies all traffic (deny ip any any). Admission to the network is determined by the NAC validation process. By default, all traffic is denied except the traffic found to be valid based on the policy configured on the NAC policy server. Monitor NAC PosturesCisco SDM applies an ACL that permits all traffic (permit ip any any). After the NAC validation process, the router may receive policies from the NAC server that deny access to certain hosts. You can use the Monitor NAC Postures setting to determine the impact of NAC configuration on the network. After you have done so, you can modify the
27-7 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 27 Network Admission Control Create NAC Tab policies on the NAC policy server, and then reconfigure NAC on the router to use Strict Validation, by changing the ACL applied to the interface to deny ip any any using the Cisco SDM Firewall Policy feature. NAC Exception List You can identify hosts that must be allowed to bypass the NAC validation process. Typically, hosts such as printers, IP phones, and hosts without NAC posture agent software installed are added to the exception list. If there are hosts without static addresses on your network it is recommended that they be entered in the agentless host policy, and not in the NAC exception list. The NAC exception policy may not work properly if host IP addresses change. If you are using the NAC wizard and you do not need to configure a NAC exception list, you can click Next without entering information in this window. As an alternative or as a complement to the NAC exception list, the wizard allows you to configure an agentless host policy in another window. IP Address/MAC Address/Device Type, Address/Device, and Policy Columns These columns contain information about a host in the exception list. A host can be identified by its IP address, MAC address, or the type of device it is. If it is identified by an address, the IP address or MAC address is shown in the row along with the name of the policy that governs the host access to the network. Add, Edit, and Delete Buttons Build the exception list by clicking Add and entering information about a host. You can use the Add button as many times as you need to.

30 Port-to-Application Mapping Port-to-Application Mapping (PAM) allows you to customize TCP and UDP port numbers for network services and applications. PAM uses this information to support network environments that run services using ports that are different from the registered or well-known ports associated with an application. The information that PAM maintains enables Context-Based Access Control (CBAC) supported services to run on nonstandard ports. Previously, CBAC was limited to inspecting traffic using only the well-known or registered ports associated with an application. Now, PAM allows network administrators to customize network access control for specific applications and services. Port-to-Application Mappings This window displays the port-to-application mappings configured on the router and allows you to add, edit and remove PAM entries. Each row in the window displays a PAM entry, and entries are grouped according to type. Add, Edit, and Delete Buttons Use these buttons to create, edit, or remove PAM entries. Clicking the Add button lets you create entries that map nonstandard port numbers to protocol names. Clicking the Edit button lets you make changes to user-defined entries. Entries with the value System Defined in the Protocol Type column cannot be edited or deleted.
Chapter 30 Port-to-Application Mapping Port-to-Application Mappings 30-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Application Protocol Column This column contains the name of the application protocol, and the names of the protocol types. For example, the FTP and the TFTP entries are found under the File Transfer protocol type. Port Type Column This list appears if the router is running a Cisco IOS image that allows you to specify whether this port map entry applies to TCP or to UDP traffic. Port Column This column contains the port number. For example the system-defined entry for HTTP would have the port number 80 in this column. A user-defined entry for HTTP might have the port number 8080 or another custom-defined number in this column. Protocol Type Column A row in this column displays one of the following values: User-DefinedThe entry contains a nonstandard mapping between a protocol and protocol number. The entry could be associated with a host IP address identified by the access control list (ACL) whose number is displayed in the Access List column. System-DefinedThe entry contains a standard, registered mapping between the protocol and protocol number, such as tftp 69, or smtp 25. System-defined entries cannot be edited or deleted. System-defined entries contain no value in the Access List column because they apply to all hosts on the network. Access List Column A PAM entry applies to a single host, defined by a standard ACL. This column displays the number of the ACL used to identify the host to which the PAM entry applies. If you want to view the ACL that identifies the host, go to Additional Tasks > ACL Editor > Access Rules. Then click the number of the ACL that you saw in this window.

31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone-based policy firewall (also known as Zone-Policy Firewall or ZPF) changes the firewall from the older interface-based model to a more flexible, more easily understood zone-based configuration model. Interfaces are assigned to zones, and an inspection policy is applied to traffic moving between the zones. Inter-zone policies offer considerable flexibility and granularity, so different inspection policies can be applied to multiple host groups connected to the same router interface. Firewall policies are configured with the Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (C3PL), which employs a hierarchical structure to define inspection for network protocols and the groups of hosts to which the inspection will be applied. For a good description of how Zone- Based Policy Firewall can be implemented, read The Zone-Based Policy Firewall Design Guide available on cisco.com by going to Support > Product Support > Cisco IOS Software > Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.4 Mainline > Configure > Feature Guides and clicking Zone-Based Policy Firewall Design Guide. This document may also be available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_feature_guide09186a00 8072c6e3.html Configuration Task Order The following task order can be followed to configure a Zone-Based Policy Firewall: 1. Define zones. 2. Define zone-pairs.
Chapter 31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone Window 31-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 3. Define class-maps that describe traffic that must have policy applied as it crosses a zone-pair. 4. Define policy-maps to apply action to your class-maps traffic. 5. Apply policy-maps to zone-pairs. 6. Assign interfaces to zones. The sequence of tasks is not important, but some events must be completed in order. For instance, you must configure a class-map before you assign a class-map to a policy-map. Similarly, you cannot assign a policy-map to a zone-pair until you have configured the policy. If you try to complete a task that relies on another portion of the configuration that you have not configured, SDM does not allow you to do so. Zone Window A zone, or security zone, is a group of interfaces to which a security policy can be applied. The interfaces in a zone should share common functions or features. For example, two interfaces that are connected to the local LAN might be placed in one security zone, and the interfaces connected to the Internet might be placed in another security zone. For traffic to flow among all the interfaces in a router, all the interfaces must be a member of one security zone or another. It is not necessary for all router interfaces to be members of security zones. Zone-based Policy General Rules describes the rules governing interface behavior and the flow of traffic between zone-member interfaces. This window displays the name of each security zone, the interfaces that it contains, and any associated zone pairs that the zone is a member of. A zone can be a member of multiple zone pairs. Click Add to create a new zone. Click Edit to choose different interfaces for an existing zone. Click Delete to remove a zone. A zone that is a member of a zone pair cannot be deleted.
31-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone Window Add or Edit a Zone To add a new zone, also called a security zone, enter a zone name, and choose the interfaces that are to be included in the zone. The Interface list displays the names of available interfaces. Because physical interfaces can be placed in only one zone, they do not appear in the list if they have already been placed in a zone. Virtual interfaces, such as Dialer interfaces or Virtual Template interfaces can be placed in multiple zones and will always appear in the list. Note Traffic flowing to or from this interface is governed by the policy map associated with the zone. An interface that you associate with this zone may be used for a site-to-site VPN, DMVPN, Easy VPN, SSL VPN or other type of connection whose traffic might be blocked by a firewall. When you associate an interface with a zone in this dialog, SDM does not create any passthrough ACL to permit such traffic. You can configure the necessary passthrough for the policy map two ways. Go to Configure > Firewall and ACL > Edit Firewall Policy > Rule for New Traffic. In the displayed dialog, provide the source and destination IP address information, and the type of traffic that must be allowed to pass through the firewall. In the Action field, select Permit ACL. Go to Configure > C3PL > Policy Map > Protocol Inspection. Provide a protocol inspection policy map that will allow the necessary traffic to pass through the firewall. After a zone has been created, you can change the interfaces associated with the zone, but you cannot change the name of the zone. Zone-Based Policy General Rules Router network interfaces membership in zones is subject to several rules governing interface behavior, as is the traffic moving between zone member interfaces: A zone must be configured before interfaces can be assigned to the zone.
Chapter 31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone Window 31-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 An interface can be assigned to only one security zone. All traffic to/from a given interface is implicitly blocked when the interface is assigned to a zone, excepting traffic to/from other interfaces in the same zone, and traffic to any interface on the router. Traffic is implicitly allowed to flow by default among interfaces that are members of the same zone. To permit traffic to/from a zone member interface, a policy allowing or inspecting traffic must be configured between that zone and any other zone. The self zone is the only exception to the default deny-all policy. All traffic to any router interface is allowed until traffic is explicitly denied. Traffic cannot flow between a zone member interface and any interface that is not a zone member. Pass, inspect, and drop actions can only be applied between two zones. Interfaces that have not been assigned to a zone function as classical router ports and might still use classical stateful inspection/CBAC configuration. If it is required that an interface on the box not be part of the zoning/firewall policy, it might still be necessary to put that interface in a zone and configure a pass all policy (sort of a dummy policy) between that zone and any other zone to which traffic flow is desired. From the preceding it follows that, if traffic is to flow among all the interfaces in a router, all the interfaces must be part of the zoning model (each interface must be a member of one zone or another). The only exception to the preceding deny by default approach is the traffic to/from the router, which will be permitted by default. An explicit policy can be configured to restrict such traffic. This set of rules was taken from The Zone-Based Policy Firewall Design Guide available at the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_feature_guide09186a00 8072c6e3.html
31-5 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone Pairs Zone Pairs A zone-pair allows you to specify a unidirectional firewall policy between two security zones. The direction of the traffic is specified by specifying a source and destination security zone.The same zone cannot be defined as both the source and the destination. If you want traffic to flow in both directions between two zones, you must create a zone pair for each direction. If you want traffic to flow freely among all interfaces, each interface must be configured in a zone. The following table shows an example of four zone-pairs. LAN-out and LAN-in are zone-pairs configured for traffic flowing between the LAN interface, VLAN1, and the FastEthernet 1 interface. Each zone-pair is controlled by a separate policy. Bkup-out and Bkup-in are configured for traffic generated by the router. The same policy controls traffic sent from zone-BRI0 as traffic sent by the router, represented by the self zone. Click Add to create a zone-pair. Click Edit to change the policy associated with a zone pair. Click Delete to remove a zone pair. Add or Edit a Zone Pair To configure a new zone pair, provide a name for the zone pair, a source zone from which traffic will originate, a destination zone to which traffic is to be sent, and the policy that is to determine which traffic can be sent across the zones. The source zone and destination zone lists contain the zones configured on the router and the self zone. The self zone can be used when you are configuring zone pairs Zone Pair Source Destination Policy LAN-out zone-VLAN1 zone-FE1 inspection-policymap-a LAN-in zone-FE1 zone-VLAN1 inspection-policymap-b Bkup-out self zone-BRI0 inspection-policymap-c Bkup-in zone-BRI0 self inspection-policymap-c
Chapter 31 Zone-Based Policy Firewall Zone Pairs 31-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 for traffic originating from the router itself, or destined for the router itself, such as a zone pair configured for SNMP traffic. The Policy list contains the name of each policy map configured on the router. If you are editing a zone pair, you can change the policy map, but you cannot change the name or the source or destination zones. Add a Zone You can configure an interface as a member of a security zone from the Interfaces and Connections Association tab. The zone that you add will include the interface that you are editing as a zone member. Note Traffic flowing to or from this interface is governed by the policy map associated with the zone. An interface that you associate with this zone may be used for a site-to-site VPN, DMVPN, Easy VPN, SSL VPN or other type of connection whose traffic might be blocked by a firewall. When you associate an interface with a zone in this dialog, SDM does not create any passthrough ACL to permit such traffic. You can configure the necessary passthrough for the policy map two ways. Go to Configure > Firewall and ACL > Edit Firewall Policy > Rule for New Traffic. In the displayed dialog, provide the source and destination IP address information, and the type of traffic that must be allowed to pass through the firewall. In the Action field, select Permit ACL. Go to Configure > C3PL > Policy Map > Protocol Inspection. Provide a protocol inspection policy map that will allow the necessary traffic to pass through the firewall. Zone Name Enter the name of the zone that you want to add.

32 Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Cisco IOS Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) is an architectural framework for configuring a set of three independent security functions in a consistent manner. AAA provides a modular way of performing authentication, authorization, and accounting services. Cisco IOS AAA provides the following benefits: Increased flexibility and control Scalability Standardized authentication methods. Cisco SDM enables you to configure the Remote Authentication Dialin User Service (RADIUS), and the Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus (TACACS+) authentication methods. AAA Main Window This window provides a summary view of the AAA configuration on the router. To view more detailed information or to edit the AAA configuration, click the appropriate node on the AAA tree.
Chapter 32 Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting AAA Servers and Groups 32-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Enable/Disable AAA AAA is enabled by default. If you click Disable, Cisco SDM displays a message telling you that it will make configuration changes to ensure that the router can be accessed. Disabling AAA will prevent you from configuring your router as an Easy VPN server, and will prevent you from associating user accounts with command line interface (CLI) views. AAA Servers and Groups This read-only field displays a count of the AAA servers and server groups. The router relays authentication, authorization, and accounting requests to AAA servers. AAA servers are organized into groups to provide the router with alternate servers to contact if the first server contacted is not available. Authentication Policies This read-only field lists configured authentication policies. Authentication policies define how users are identified. To edit authentication policies, click the Login sub-node under Authentication Policies in the AAA tree. Authorization Policies This read-only field lists configured authorization policies. Authorization policies define the methods that are used to permit or deny a user login. To edit authorization policies, click Authorization Policies in the AAA tree. To edit authorization policies (Exec Authorization and Network Authorization), click the Exec and Network sub-nodes respectively under the Authorization Policies node in the AAA tree.

Add or Edit a Method List for Authentication or Authorization A method list is a sequential list describing the authentication methods to be queried in order to authenticate a user. Method lists enable you to designate one or more security protocols to be used for authentication, thus ensuring a backup system for authentication in case the initial method fails. Cisco IOS software uses the first listed method to authenticate users. If that method fails to respond, the Cisco IOS software selects the next authentication method listed in the method list. This process continues until there is successful communication with a listed authentication method, or all methods defined in the method list are exhausted. It is important to note that the Cisco IOS software attempts authentication with the next listed authentication method only when there is no response from the previous method. If authentication fails at any point in this cyclemeaning that the security server or local username database responds by denying the user accessthe authentication process stops and no other authentication methods are attempted. Name/Specify Select the name Default in the Name list, or select User Defined, and enter a method list name in the Specify field.

33 Router Provisioning You can provision your router using a USB device attached directly to your router, or using Secure Device Provisioning (SDP). SDP must be supported by your Cisco IOS release to be available in Cisco SDM. Secure Device Provisioning This window allows you to use Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) to complete tasks such as enrolling your router with a CA server and configuring your router. Click the Launch SDP button to transfer to the SDP web-browser application to complete the process. If you are obtaining certificates, Cisco SDM displays the Certificates window where you can view the certificates after they are obtained from the CA. To learn what you need to do to prepare for SDP enrollment, see SDP Troubleshooting Tips. For more information on SDP, click the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5207/products_feature_gui de09186a008028afbd.html#wp1043332 Note If the Launch SDP button is absent, you router Cisco IOS release does not support SDP.

33-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 33 Router Provisioning SDP Troubleshooting Tips Guidelines When SDP is launched, you must minimize the browser window displaying this help topic so that you can view the SDP web application. If you are planning to configure the router using SDP, you should do so immediately after configuring your WAN connection. When you complete the configuration changes in SDP, you must return to Cisco SDM and click Refresh on the toolbar to view the status of the trustpoint in the Router Certificates window in the VPN Components tree. Troubleshooting Tips These recommendations involve preparations on the local router and on the CA server. You need to communicate these requirements to the administrator of the CA server. Ensure the following: The local router and the CA server have IP connectivity between each other. The local router must be able to ping the certificate server successfully, and the certificate server must be able to successfully ping the local router. The CA server administrator uses a web browser that supports JavaScript. The CA server administrator has enable privileges on the local router. The firewall on the local router will permit traffic to and from the certificate server. If a firewall is configured on the Petitioner and/or on the Registrar, you must ensure that the Firewall permits HTTP or HTTPS traffic from the PC from which the Cisco SDM /SDP application is invoked. For more information about SDP, see the following web page: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5207/products_feature_gui de09186a008028afbd.html#wp1043332

34 Cisco Common Classification Policy Language Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (C3PL) is a structured replacement for feature-specific configuration commands. C3PL allows you to create traffic policies based on events, conditions, and actions. SDM uses C3PL to create the policy maps and class maps that the following help topics describe. Policy Map Policy maps specify the actions to be taken when traffic matches defined criteria. Traffic types and criteria are defined in class maps associated with a policy map. In order for a router to use the information in a policy map and its associated class maps, the policy map must be associated with a zone-pair. See Zone-Based Policy Firewall for more information on configuring zones and zone pairs. Policy Map Windows Use the policy map windows to review, create and edit policy maps for QoS, HTTP, and other types of traffic. The top portion of the window lists the configured policy maps, and the bottom portion displays the details of the highlighted policy map. If you need to edit a policy map or see more detail, click Edit to display a dialog that lets you view information and make changes. This help topic provides a general description for the policy map windows and some sample data.

For example, d(o|a)g matches dog and dag, but do|ag matches do and ag. A subexpression can also be used with repeat quantifiers to differentiate the characters meant for repetition. For example, ab(xy){3}z matches abxyxyxyz. | Alternation Matches either expression it separates. For example, dog|cat matches dog or cat. ? Question mark A quantifier that indicates that there are 0 or 1 of the previous expression. For example, lo?se matches lse or lose. Note You must enter Ctrl+V and then the question mark or else the help function is invoked.

For example, lo*se matches lse, lose, loose, etc. + Plus A quantifier that indicates that there is at least 1 of the previous expression. For example, lo+se matches lose and loose, but not lse. {x} Repeat quantifier Repeat exactly x times. For example, ab(xy){3}z matches abxyxyxyz. {x,} Minimum repeat quantifier Repeat at least x times. For example, ab(xy){2,}z matches abxyxyz, abxyxyxyz, etc. [abc] Character class Matches any character in the brackets. For example, [abc] matches a, b, or c. [^abc] Negated character class Matches a single character that is not contained within the brackets. For example, [^abc] matches any character other than a, b, or c. [^A-Z] matches any single character that is not an uppercase letter. [a-c] Character range class Matches any character in the range. [a-z] matches any lowercase letter. You can mix characters and ranges: [abcq-z] matches a, b, c, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, and so does [a-cq-z]. The dash (-) character is literal only if it is the last or the first character within the brackets: [abc-] or [-abc]. "" Quotation marks Preserves trailing or leading spaces in the string. For example, " test" preserves the leading space when it looks for a match. ^ Caret Specifies the beginning of a line. \ Escape character When used with a metacharacter, matches a literal character. For example, \[ matches the left square bracket. char Character When character is not a metacharacter, matches the literal character. \r Carriage return Matches a carriage return 0x0d. \n Newline Matches a new line 0x0a.

35 URL Filtering URL filtering allows you to control access to Internet websites by permitting or denying access to specific websites based on information contained in an URL list. You can maintain a local URL list on the router, and you can use URL lists stored on Websense or Secure Computing URL filter list servers. URL filtering is enabled by configuring an Application Security policy that enables it. Even if no Application Security policy is configured on the router, you can still maintain a local URL list and an URL filter server list that can be used for URL filtering when a policy is created that enables it. This chapter contains the following sections: URL Filtering Window Local URL List URL Filter Servers For more information on URL filtering, go to the following link: Firewall Websense URL Filtering To learn how URL filtering policies are used, click URL Filtering Precedence.

Local URL List If the Cisco IOS image on the router supports URL filtering but does not support Zone-based Policy Firewall (ZPF), you can maintain one local URL list on the router. This list is used by all Application Security policies in which URL filtering is enabled. Cisco IOS images of release 12.4(9)T and later support all the ZPF features that SDM supports. In a ZPF configuration, a local URL list can be created for each URL filtering parameter map. You can use Cisco SDM to create list entries and you can import entries from a list stored on your PC. When a local URL list is used in combination with URL filter servers, local entries are used first. See URL Filtering Precedence for more information. Maintaining the Local URL List You can use Cisco SDM to maintain a local URL list by adding and deleting entries one-by-one, and by importing an URL list from your PC and specifying what you want Cisco SDM to do with each entry. Use the Add and the Delete buttons to manage specific entries in the list on the router, and click the Import URL List button to import an URL list from your PC.
Chapter 35 URL Filtering URL Filtering Window 35-6 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Note If an entry is deleted from the local list and the router is configured to use URL filtering servers, entries that match ones that you are deleting from the local list may exist on those servers. Use the Delete All button to delete all entries on the router. If no local list is configured on the router, the router must rely on the configured URL filter servers. If you want to retrieve the URL list you are deleting at a later time, use the Export URL List button to save the URL list to your PC before deleting all the entries. When you save an URL list to your PC the list is given a .CSV extension. Importing URL Lists from your PC Click the Import URL List button to import an URL list from your PC to the router. The URL list that you select must have a .txt or .CSV extension. After you select the list on your PC, Cisco SDM displays a dialog that allows you to specify what you want to do with each entry in the list. See Import URL List for more information. Add or Edit Local URL Use this window to add or edit an URL entry for the local URL list on the router. Enter a full domain name or a partial domain name and choose whether to Permit or Deny requests for this URL. If you enter a full domain name, such as www.somedomain.com, all requests that include that domain name, such as www.somedomain.com/news or www.somedomain.com/index will be permitted or denied based on the setting you choose in this dialog. These requests will not be sent to the URL filtering servers that the router is configured to use. If you enter a partial domain name, such as .somedomain.com, all requests that end with that string, such as www.somedomain.com/products or wwwin/somedomain.com/eng will be permitted denied based on the setting you choose in this dialog. These requests will not be sent to the URL filtering servers that the router is configured to use.
35-7 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 35 URL Filtering URL Filtering Window Import URL List This dialog allows you to examine the URL list you are importing from your PC to the router and specify what you want to do with each entry. If an URL entry in this dialog is not already present on the router, you can add it to the list on the router by clicking Append. If an URL entry is already present on the router but you want to replace it with the entry in this dialog, click Replace. All boxes in the Import column are checked by default.If there are entries that you do not want to be sent to the router, uncheck the box next to those entries.If you want to remove the checks from all the boxes, click Unselect All. Clicking Select All places checkmarks in all the boxes. Append adds any checked entry to the URL list that is not already present in the list If you attempt to add an entry that is already in the URL list, it will not be added even if the action specified for the domain in the entry is different from the action that is already in the list. Use the Replace button to specify a different action for an entry that is already in the routers URL list.If the entry you checked is not already in the routers list, Replace has no effect. URL Filter Servers The router can send HTTP requests to URL filtering servers that are capable of storing much larger URL lists than the router can store. If the router is configured with an URL filter server list, the router sends requests that do not match entries in the local list to the URL filter server it has a connection to, and permits or denies the request based on the response it receives from the server. When the server that the router is connected to goes down, the router contacts the next server in the list until it establishes a connection. Lists on URL filter servers can be used along with local URL lists. Click URL Filtering Precedence to learn how the router uses both of these resources. Click Add, and choose either Secure Computing or Websense to specify the type of server that you are adding. Note Cisco IOS software can only use one type of URL filtering server, and does not allow you to add a server to the list if it is of a different type. For example, if an URL filter server list containing Websense servers is configured on the router, you
Chapter 35 URL Filtering URL Filtering Window 35-8 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 will receive an error message if you attempt to add an Secure Computing server to the list. If the URL filter server list currently contains one type of server and you want to change to the other type, you must delete all the server entries in the list before adding an entry of the new type. This window displays the configuration for each URL filter server in the list. See Add or Edit an URL Filter Server for a description of each configuration value. Add or Edit an URL Filter Server Specify the information for the Websense or Secure Computing URL filter server. IP Address/Hostname Enter the IP address or the hostname for the server. If you enter a hostname, the router must have a connection to a DNS server in order to resolve the hostname to an IP address. Direction Choose Inside if the URL filter server is part of the inside network. This is usually one of the networks that the router LAN interfaces connect to. Choose Outside if the router is in the outside network. This is usually one of the networks that the router WAN interfaces connect to. The default value is Inside. Port Number Automatically contains the default port number for the type of URL filter server you are adding. If you are adding a Websense server, the default value is 15868. If you are adding an Secure Computing server, the default value is 4005. Change this number to the number of the port that the server listens on if that number is different from the default. This field accepts values from 1 to 65535. Retransmission Count Optional field. Enter the number of times that you want the router to attempt to retransmit the request if no response arrives from the server. The default value is 2 times. This field accepts values from 1 to 10.
35-9 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 35 URL Filtering URL Filtering Window Retransmission Timeout Optional field. Enter the number of seconds that the router should wait for a response from the server before retransmitting the request. The default value is 5 seconds. URL Filtering Precedence URL filtering must be enabled by going to Configure > Firewall and ACL > Application Security > URL Filtering and clicking Enable URL filtering. This can only be done when an Application security policy is configured on the router. When URL filtering is enabled, the router determines how to handle an HTTP request as follows: If the URL in the request matches an entry in the local URL list on the router, the router permits or denies the request based on that entry. If the URL in the request does not match any entry in the local URL list, the router passes the HTTP request to the URL filtering server to which it has a connection. It permits or denies the request based on the information that the server returns. If allow mode is disabled, and the router cannot establish a connection with an URL filter server, the router denies the request. Allow mode is disabled by default. If allow mode is enabled and the router cannot establish a connection with an URL filter server, the router permits the request. Allow mode can be enabled in the Edit Global Settings dialog. Only one URL list and one URL filter server list can be configured on the router. All configured Application Security policies use the same URL list and URL filter server list. These lists can be maintained in the Application Security windows, or by going to Additional Tasks > URL Filtering. If all Application Security policies are deleted, the URL list and URL filter server list can still be maintained in the Additional Tasks windows. However, the router does not perform URL filtering unless URL filtering is enabled in an Application Security policy.

36 Configuration Management Cisco SDM allows you to edit the router configuration file and to reset the router configuration to factory defaults. Because editing the configuration file directly and resetting the router to factory defaults can cause you to lose the connection between the PC and the router, be sure to read the online help for all screens in this area of Cisco SDM. Manually Editing the Configuration File Cisco SDM allows you to edit the router configuration file by providing a configuration editor that you can use to import a configuration file or use to enter Cisco IOS CLI commands directly. Cisco SDM supports the most widely-used Cisco IOS commands and keywords, but it cannot support every CLI command. If you are experienced with the Cisco IOS CLI and have an excellent understanding of how the configuration commands that you want to enter will affect the behavior of the router and the network in which it resides, you may find that using the configuration editor is faster than using Cisco SDM dialogs. If you want to add a configuration that Cisco SDM does not support, you must either use the Config Editor to do so, or open a Telnet session with the router and use the Cisco IOS CLI. Using the Config Editor bypasses Cisco SDM validation. Although Cisco SDM returns IOS error messages, it cannot compare your configuration changes against the running configuration and inform you of conflicts thay may result. For example, if you use Cisco SDM dialogs to enter a VPN configuration on a router that already has a firewall configuration, Cisco SDM examines the firewall and determines which permit statements must be added to enable VPN traffic to pass
Chapter 36 Configuration Management Config Editor 36-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 through, and is able to make them for you. However, if you use the Config Editor, you must determine which conflicts may result by examining the existing configuration and making any additional changes needed to resolve those conflicts, and then monitor router behavior to see if it handles traffic as you intend it to. Although it is not required, it is strongly recommended that you allow Cisco SDM to back up the current running configuration. When Cisco SDM performs this backup, it uses the same filename each time, thus overwriting any earlier backup file. Config Editor The Config Editor lets you view the running configuration and make changes to it by editing specific commands or by replacing the entire configuration file with one that you import from your PC. You can view the running configuration as you make changes, or you can use the entire window to view the configuration that you are sending to the router. Running Configuration By default, this box displays the router running configuration. You can hide this box by clicking Hide in the upper-right-hand corner of the window. Redisplay this box by clicking Show. Edit Configuration Perform edits in this box. By default, this box is empty. Fill it with the router running configuration by clicking Import > running config. Fill it with a configuration file on the PC by clicking Import > config from PC. Increase the size of this box by hiding the Running Configuration box. Merging with Running Config If you want to merge changes that you have made in the Edit Configuration box with the router running config, click Merge with Running Config. The changes are sent to the router and take effect as soon as the router receives them.
36-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 36 Configuration Management Reset to Factory Defaults Replacing the Running Config If you want to replace the running config with the contents of the Edit Configuration box, click Replace Running Config. You should not use this button unless you have populated the Edit Configuration box with a configuration that you have imported from the router and edited, or a configuration that you have imported from your PC. Restore If you saved the running configuration before using the Config Editor, you can restore that configuration to your router by clicking this button. The restored configuration is copied to the routers startup configuration, and the router is reloaded. If no backup copy of the routers configuration exists, Cisco SDM displays a message informing you that it cannot restore the configuration. Reset to Factory Defaults You can reset the configuration of the router to factory defaults and save the current configuration to a file that can be used later. If you changed the routers LAN IP address from the factory value 10.10.10.1, you will lose the connection between the router and the PC because that IP address will change back to 10.10.10.1 when you reset. Note The Reset to Factory Defaults feature is not supported on Cisco 3620, 3640, 3640A, and 7000 series routers. The Reset to Factory Defaults feature is not supported when you are running a copy of Cisco SDM installed on the PC. Before you start, you should understand how to give your PC a static IP address in the 10.10.10.0 subnet so that you will be able to reconnect to the router after you reset it. The factory configuration does not include a DHCP server configuration on the router, and the router will not give an IP address to the PC. In addition, the factory configuration limits HTTP or HTTPS access to the router,
Chapter 36 Configuration Management Reset to Factory Defaults 36-4 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 restricting it to the LAN interface, and only from the internal subnet defined on that interface. After you access the router, you can change the router default IP address and set it to allow remote access. Understanding How to Give the PC a Dynamic or Static IP Address After You Reset If you want to use Cisco SDM after you reset, you have to give your PC a static or dynamic IP address, depending on the type of router that you have. Use the following table to determine the type of address to give the PC.

37 More About.... These topics provide more information about subjects that Cisco SDM online help discusses. IP Addresses and Subnet Masks This topic provides background information about IP addresses and subnet masks, and shows you how to use this information when entering addresses and masks in Cisco SDM. IP version 4 addresses are 32 bits, or 4 bytes, in length. This address "space" is used to designate the following: Network number Optional subnetwork number A host number Note Cisco SDM does not support IP version 6. Cisco SDM requires you to enter IP addresses in dotted-decimal format. This format makes addresses easier for people to read and manipulate, by grouping the 32 bits into 4 octets which are displayed in decimal, separated by periods or "dots," for example, 172.16.122.204. The decimal address 172.16.122.204 represents the binary IP address shown in the following figure.
Chapter 37 More About.... IP Addresses and Subnet Masks 37-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 The subnet mask is used to specify how many of the 32 bits are used for the network number and, if subnetting is used, the subnet number. It is a binary mask with a 1 bit in every position used by the network and subnet numbers. Like the IP address, it is a 32-bit value, expressed in decimal format. The following figure shows a subnet mask entered in Cisco SDM. Cisco SDM shows the subnet mask and the equivalent number of bits in the mask. These values entered Cisco SDM represent the binary mask shown in the following figure: This subnet mask specifies that the first 24 bits of the IP address represent the network number and subnet mask, and that the last 8 bits represent the host number within that network and subnet. You can enter the mask in the dotted decimal format shown in the Subnet Mask field, or you can select the number of bits in the bits field. When you enter or select a value in one field, Cisco SDM automatically adjusts the other. Cisco SDM displays a warning window if you enter a decimal mask that results in binary zeros (0s) in the network/subnet area of the mask. The following subnet mask field contains a decimal value that would result in binary zeros in the network/subnet number portion of the mask. Note that the bits field on the right is empty, indicating that an invalid value has been entered in the Subnet Mask field.
37-3 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 37 More About.... IP Addresses and Subnet Masks When a network address is displayed in Cisco SDM windows, the IP address and subnet mask for it may be shown in network address/subnet bits format, as in the following example: 172.28.33.0/24 The network address in this example is 172.28.33.0. The number 24 indicates the number of subnet bits used. You can think of it as shorthand for the corresponding subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Addresses used on the public Internet must be completely unique for the period of time they are being used. On private networks, addresses may be unique only to the private network or subnetwork. Addresses may also be translated by using schemes such as NAT and PAT, and they may be temporarily assigned using DHCP. You can use Cisco SDM to configure NAT, PAT and DHCP. Host and Network Fields This topic explains how to supply host or network information in windows that allow you to specify a network or host address, or a host name. Specify the network or the host.

Static Address Translation Scenarios The following scenarios show you how you can use the static address translation rules. Scenario 1 You need to map an IP address for a single host to a public address. The address of the host is 10.12.12.3. The public address is 172.17.4.8. The following table shows how the fields in the Add Address Translation Rule window would be used. Result The source address 10.12.12.3 is translated to the address 172.17.4.8 in packets leaving the router.

More About NAT 37-14 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Scenario 2 You need to map each IP address in a network to a unique public IP address, and you do not want to create a separate rule for each mapping. The source network number is 10.l2.12.0, and the target network is 172.17.4.0. However, in this scenario, it is not necessary to know the source or target network numbers. It is sufficient to enter host addresses and a network mask. The following table shows how the fields in the Add Address Translation Rule window would be used. Result NAT derives the Translate from network address from the host IP address and the subnet mask. NAT derives the Translate to network address from the the net mask entered in the Translate from fields, and the Translate to IP address. The source IP address in any packet leaving the original network is translated to an address in the 172.17.4.0 network. Scenario 3 You want to use the same global IP address for several hosts on the trusted network. Inbound traffic will contain a different port number based on the destination host. The following table shows how the fields in the Add Address Translation Rule window would be used.

Return traffic carrying the destination address 172.17.4.8 is routed to port number 137 of the host with the IP address 10.12.12.3. You need to create a separate entry for each host/port mapping that you want to create. You can use the same Translated to IP address in each entry, but you must enter a different Translated from IP address in each entry, and a different set of port numbers.

These scenarios are applicable whether you select from inside-to-outside, or from outside-to-inside. Scenario 1 You want sourceTranslate fromaddresses to use the IP address that is assigned to the routers Fast Ethernet 0/1 interface 172.17.4.8. Port Address Translation (PAT) would be used to distinguish traffic associated with different hosts. The ACL rule you use to define the Translate from addresses is configured as shown below: access-list 7 deny host 10.10.10.1 access-list 7 permit 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 When used in a NAT rule this access rule would allow any host in the 10.10.10.0 network, except the one with the address 10.10.10.1 to receive address translation. The following table shows how the fields in the Add Address Translation Rule window would be used.

More About VPN Security and VPN Devices IPSecurity TroubleshootingUnderstanding and Using Debug Commands Field Notices More about VPN Connections and IPSec Policies A VPN connection is an association between a router interface and an IPSec policy. The building block of an IPSec policy is the crypto map. A crypto map specifies the following: a transform set and other parameters to govern encryption, the identity of one or more peers, and an IPSec rule that specifies which traffic will be encrypted. An IPSec policy can contain multiple crypto maps. The following diagram shows an interface (ATM 3/1.1) associated with an IPSec policy. The policy has three crypto maps, each specifying a different peer system. The ATM 3/1.1 interface is thus associated with three VPN connections. A crypto map can specify more than one peer for a connection. This may be done to provide redundancy.

37-21 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Chapter 37 More About.... More About VPN More About IKE IKE handles the following tasks: Authentication Session Negotiation Key Exchange IPSec Tunnel Negotiation and Configuration Authentication Authentication is arguably the most important task that IKE accomplishes, and it certainly is the most complicated. Whenever you negotiate something, it is of utmost importance that you know with whom you are negotiating. IKE can use one of several methods to authenticate negotiating parties to each other. Pre-shared Key. IKE uses a hashing technique to ensure that only someone who possesses the same key could have sent the IKE packets. DSS or RSA digital signatures. IKE uses public-key digital-signature cryptography to verify that each party is whom he or she claims to be. RSA encryption. IKE uses one of two methods to encrypt enough of the negotiation to ensure that only a party with the correct private key could continue the negotiation. Note Cisco SDM supports the pre-shared key method of authentication. Session Negotiation During session negotiation, IKE allows parties to negotiate how they will conduct authentication and how they will protect any future negotiations (that is, IPSec tunnel negotiation). The following items are negotiated: Authentication Method. This is one of the authentication methods listed above. Key Exchange Algorithm. This is a mathematical technique for securely exchanging cryptographic keys over a public medium (that is, Diffie-Hellman). The keys are used in the encryption and packet-signature algorithms.
Chapter 37 More About.... More About VPN 37-22 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Encryption Algorithm: DES, 3DES, or AES Packet Signature Algorithm: MD5 or SHA-1 Key Exchange IKE uses the negotiated key-exchange method (see Session Negotiation above) to create enough bits of cryptographic keying material to secure future transactions. This method ensures that each IKE session will be protected with a new, secure set of keys. Authentication, session negotiation, and key exchange constitute phase 1 of an IKE negotiation. IPSec Tunnel Negotiation and Configuration After IKE has finished negotiating a secure method for exchanging information (phase 1), we use IKE to negotiate an IPSec tunnel. This is accomplished in IKE phase 2. In this exchange, IKE creates fresh keying material for the IPSec tunnel to use (either using the IKE phase 1 keys as a base or by performing a new key exchange). The encryption and authentication algorithms for this tunnel are also negotiated. More About IKE Policies When the IKE negotiation begins, IKE looks for an IKE policy that is the same on both peers. The peer that initiates the negotiation will send all its policies to the remote peer, and the remote peer will try to find a match. The remote peer looks for a match by comparing its own highest priority policy against the other peers received policies. The remote peer checks each of its policies in order of its priority (highest first) until a match is found. A match is made when both policies from the two peers contain the same encryption, hash, authentication, and Diffie-Hellman parameter values, and when the remote peers policy specifies a lifetime less than or equal to the lifetime in the policy being compared. If the lifetimes are not identical, the shorter lifetime-from the remote peers policy will be used.

Each transform represents an IPSec security protocol (AH or ESP) plus the algorithm that you want to use.

Configure the Hub First It is important to configure the hub first because spokes must be configured using information about the hub. If you are configuring a hub, you can use the Spoke Configuration feature available in the Summary window to generate a text file that contains a procedure that you can send to spoke administrators so that they can configure the spokes with the correct hub information. If you are configuring a spoke, you must obtain the correct information about the hub before you begin. Assigning Spoke Addresses All routers in the DMVPN must be in the same subnet. Therefore, the hub administrator must assign addresses in the subnet to the spoke routers so that address conflicts do not occur, and so that everyone is using the same subnet mask.
Chapter 37 More About.... DMVPN Configuration Recommendations 37-30 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Recommendations for Configuring Routing Protocols for DMVPN The following are guidelines that you should note when configuring routing protocols for DMVPN. You can choose to ignore these guidelines, but Cisco SDM has not been tested in scenarios outside the guidelines and may not be able to let you edit configurations within Cisco SDM after you enter them. These recommendations are listed in best-choice order: If a routing process exists that advertises inside networks, use this process to advertise networks to the DMVPN. If a routing process exists that advertises tunnel networks for VPNs, for example GRE over IPSec tunnels, use this process to advertise the DMVPN networks. If a routing process exists that advertises networks for the WAN interfaces, then be sure to use an AS number or process ID that the WAN interfaces do not use to advertise networks. When you configure DMVPN routing information Cisco SDM checks whether the Autonomous System number (EIGRP) or area ID (OSPF) you enter is already used to advertise networks for the routers physical interface. If the value is already in use, Cisco SDM informs you of this and recommends that you either use a new value, or that you select a different routing protocol to advertise networks on the DMVPN. Using Interfaces with Dialup Configurations Selecting an interface that uses a dialup connection may cause the connection to be always up. You can examine supported interfaces in Interfaces and Connections to determine if a dialup connection, such as an ISDN or Async connection has been configured for the physical interface you selected. Ping the Hub Before You Start Spoke Configuration Before configuring a spoke router, you should test connectivity to the hub by issuing the ping command. If the ping does not succeed, you must configure a route to the hub.

38 Getting Started Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (Cisco SDM) is an easy-to-use Internet browser-based software tool designed for configuring LAN, WAN, and security features on a router. Cisco SDM is designed for resellers and network administrators of small- to medium-sized businesses who are proficient in LAN fundamentals and basic network design. For fast and efficient configuration of Ethernet networks, WAN connectivity, firewalls and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), Cisco SDM prompts you through the setup process with wizardssequenced screens that break down the configuration steps and provide you with explanatory text. You can then edit the basic configuration you created, for greater control over the router and the network. Cisco SDM requires no previous experience with Cisco devices or the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). When you start Cisco SDM, it displays the Home Page, a window with system and configuration overview information that gives you important information about your router hardware and software. You can use this to determine what you want to configure. After you complete a configuration, Cisco SDM can help you test and troubleshoot it so that you can ensure that the configuration works. Cisco SDM also features a Monitor mode, which enables you to observe router performance and gather statistics associated with configurations that you have made on the router. Whats New in this Release? This release supports the following new features:
Chapter 38 Getting Started Whats New in this Release? 38-2 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Certificate Authority ServerYou can configure the router as a Certificate Authority (CA) server, and have it grant certificates to hosts on your network. Using a CA server in your own network eases the deployment of VPN technology by enabling local hosts to enroll for certificates from the CA server you configure, and not from a public CA server. 802.1x AuthenticationThe router can be configured to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication, enabling a client to authenticate using machine identity rather than the IP address. Dynamic Virtual Tunnel InterfacesDVTI enables you to configure an Easy VPN connection using a virtual interface. The dynamic virtual tunnels provide an on-demand separate virtual access interface for each Easy VPN connection. The configuration of the virtual access interfaces is cloned from a virtual template configuration, which includes the IPSec configuration and any Cisco IOS software feature configured on the virtual template interface, such as QoS, NetFlow, or access control lists (ACLs). Zone-Based Policy FirewallZone-based policy firewalls use a zone-based configuration model that is more flexible than interfaced-based firewalls. Interfaces are assigned to zones, and zones are placed in zone pairs to define traffic source and destination interfaces. Inspection polices can be applied to zone pairs to govern the traffic that flows from the source interfaces to the destination interfaces in a zone pair. Cisco Common-Classification Policy LanguageC3PL allows you to create class-based policies. Classes identify traffic types, such as P2P and IM traffic. Policies associate traffic classes and actions. They specify the action that the router is to take on the traffic in a particular class, such as inspecting it, allowing it to pass, or dropping it. These policies can be applied to zone pairs. IPS EnhancementsCisco IOS IPS enhancements available with Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T are supported. A new format of signature definition file (SDF) is supported, as well as other features such as the Signature Event Action Processor. The SEAP allows greater control over filteringby allowing you to create Signature Event Action filters (SEAF), and assigning Signature Event Action Overrides (SEAO). Quality of Service EnhancementsQoS has been enhanced to allow you to specify either DSCP or NBAR markings to traffic, and to create QoS polices using C3PL.

Creates client-initiated tunnels by encapsulating packets into IP datagrams for transmission over TCP/IP-based networks. Can be used as an alternative to the L2F and L2TP tunneling protocols. Proprietary Microsoft protocol. pre-shared key One of three authentication methods offered in IPSec, with the other two methods being RSA encrypted nonces, and RSA signatures. Pre-shared keys allow for one or more clients to use individual shared secrets to authenticate encrypted tunnels to a gateway using IKE. Pre-shared keys are commonly used in small networks of up to 10 clients. With pre-shared keys, there is no need to involve a CA for security. The Diffie-Hellman key exchange combines public and private keys to create a shared secret to be used for authentication between IPSec peers. The shared secret can be shared between two or more peers. At each participating peer, you would specify a shared secret as part of an IKE policy. Distribution of this pre-shared key usually takes place through a secure out-of-band channel. When using a pre-shared key, if one of the participating peers is not configured with the same pre-shared key, the IKE SA cannot be established. An IKE SA is a prerequisite to an IPSec SA. You must configure the pre-shared key at all peers. Digital certification and wildcard pre-shared keys (which allow for one or more clients to use a shared secret to authenticate encrypted tunnels to a gateway) are alternatives to pre-shared keys. Both digital certification and wildcard pre-shared keys are more scalable than pre-shared keys. private key See public key encryption. pseudo random An ordered sequence of bits that appears superficially similar to a truly random sequence of the same bits. A key generated from a pseudo random number is called a nonce.

See also client/server computing. RR Risk Rating. An RR is a value between 0 and 100 that represents a numerical quantification of the risk associated with a particular event on the network. RSA Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman, the inventors of this cryptographic key exchange technique, which is based on factoring large numbers. RSA is also the name of the technique itself. RSA may be used for encryption and authentication, and is included in many security protocols. RSA keys An RSA asymmetric key pair is a set of matching public and private keys. RSA signatures One of three authentication methods offered in IPSec, with the other two methods being RSA encrypted nonces, and pre-shared keys. Also, one of the three Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)approved algorithms for generating and verifying digital signatures. The other approved algorithms are DSA and Elliptic Curve DSA. rule Information added to the configuration to define your security policy in the form of conditional statements that instruct the router how to react to a particular situation.
Glossary GL-30 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 S SA security association. A set of security parameters agreed upon by two peers to protect a specific session in a particular tunnel. Both IKE and IPSec use SAs, although SAs are independent of one another. IPSec SAs are unidirectional and are unique in each security protocol. An IKE SA is used by IKE only, and unlike the IPSec SA, it is bidirectional. IKE negotiates and establishes SAs on behalf of IPSec. A user can also establish IPSec SAs manually. A set of SAs is needed for a protected data pipe, one per direction per protocol. For example, if you have a pipe that supports Encapsulating Security Protocol (ESP) between peers, one ESP SA is required for each direction. SAs are uniquely identified by destination (IPSec endpoint) address, security protocol (AH or ESP), and security parameter index (SPI). SAID security association ID. Numeric identifier for the SA of a given link. salt A string of pseudorandom characters used to enhance cryptographic complexity. SDEE Security Device Event Exchange. A message protocol that can be used to report on security events, such as alarms generated when a packet matches the characteristics of a signature. SDF Signature Definition File. A file, usually in XML format, containing signature definitions that can be used to load signatures on a security device. SEAF Signature Event Action Filter. A filter that allows you to subtract actions from an event whose parameters fall within those defined. For example, a SEAF can be created to subtract the action Reset TCP Connection from an event associated with a particular attacker address. SEAO Signature Event Action Override. An SEAO allows you to assign a risk rating (RR) range to an IPS event action type, such as alarm. If an event occurs with an RR in the range you have assigned to the action type, then that action is added to the event. In this case, an alarm would be added to the event. SEAP Signature Event Action Processor. SEAP allows filtering and overrides based on Event Risk Rating (ERR) feedback.
GL-31 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Glossary secret key See symmetric key. security association lifetime The predetermined length of time in which an SA is in effect. security zone A group of interfaces to which a policy can be applied. Security zones should consist of interfaces that share similar functions or features. For example, on a router, interfaces Ethernet 0/0 and Ethernet 0/1 may be connected to the local LAN. These two interfaces are similar because they represent the internal network, so they can be grouped into a zone for firewall configurations. session key A key that is used only once. SFR Signature Fidelity Rating. A weight associated with how well this signature might perform in the absence of specific knowledge of the target. SHA Some encryption systems use the Secure Hashing Algorithm to generate digital signatures, as an alternative to MD5. SHA-1 Secure Hashing Algorithm 1. Algorithm that takes a message of less than 264 bits in length and produces a 160-bit message digest. The large message digest provides security against brute-force collision and inversion attacks. SHA-1 [NIS94c] is a revision to SHA that was published in 1994. shared key The secret key that all users share in a symmetric key-based communication session. shared secret A crytographic key. signature A data element in IOS IPS that detects a specific pattern of misuse on the network. signature engine A signature engine is a component of IOS IPS designed to support many signatures in a certain category. An engine is composed of a parser and an inspector. Each engine has a set of legal parameters which have allowable ranges or sets of values. signing certificate Used to associate your digital signature with your messages or documents, and to ensure that your messages or files are conveyed without changes.
Glossary GL-32 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 SIP Session Initiation Protocol. Enables call handling sessions, particularly two-party audio conferences, or calls. SIP works with Session Description Protocol (SDP) for call signaling. SDP specifies the ports for the media stream. Using SIP, the router can support any SIP Voice over IP (VoIP) gateways and VoIP proxy servers. site-to-site VPN Typically, a site-to-site VPN is one that connects two networks or subneworks and that meets several other specific criteria, including the use of static IP addresses on both sides of the tunnel, the absence of VPN client software on user end-stations, and the absence of a central VPN hub (as would exist in hub-and-spoke VPN configurations). Site-to-site VPNs are not intended to replace dial-in access by remote or traveling users. SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. Internet protocol providing e-mail services. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. Network management protocol used almost exclusively in TCP/IP networks. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices, and to manage configurations, statistics collection, performance, and security. SPD Selective Packed Discard.

GL-33 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 Glossary SSL VPN Secure Socket Layer Virtual Private Networks. SSL VPN is a feature that enables a supported Cisco router to provide remote clients secure access to network resources by creating an encryption tunnel across the Internet using the broadband or ISP dial connection that the remote client uses. SSL VPN context A WebVPN context provides the resources needed to configure secure access to a corporate intranet and other types of private networks. A WebVPN context must include an associated WebVPN gateway. A WebVPN context can serve one or more WebVPN group policies. SSL VPN gateway A WebVPN gateway provides an IP address and a certificate for a WebVPN context. The SSL VPN group policy WebVPN group policies define the portal page and links for the users included in those policies. A WebVPN group policy is configured under a WebVPN context. standard rule In Cisco SDM, a type of access rule or NAT rule. Standard rules compare a packets source IP address against its IP address criteria to determine a match.Standard rules use a wildcard mask to determine which portions of the IP address must match. state, stateful, stateful Inspection Network protocols maintain certain data, called state information, at each end of a network connection between two hosts. State information is necessary to implement the features of a protocol, such as guaranteed packet delivery, data sequencing, flow control, and transaction or session IDs. Some of the protocol state information is sent in each packet while each protocol is being used. For example, a web browser connected to a web server uses HTTP and supporting TCP/IP protocols. Each protocol layer maintains state information in the packets it sends and receives. Routers inspect the state information in each packet to verify that it is current and valid for every protocol it contains. This is called stateful inspection and is designed to create a powerful barrier to certain types of computer security threats Static PAT Static Port Address Translation. A static address maps a local IP address to a global IP address. Static PAT is a static address that also maps a local port to a global port. See also PAT. static route Route that is explicitly configured and entered into the routing table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by dynamic routing protocols.

Connection-oriented transport layer protocol that provides reliable full-duplex data transmission. TCP Syn Flood Attack A SYN-flooding attack occurs when a hacker floods a server with a barrage of requests for connection. Because these messages have unreachable return addresses, the connections cannot be established. The resulting volume of unresolved open connections eventually overwhelms the server and can cause it to deny service to valid requests, thereby preventing legitimate users from connecting to a website, accessing e-mail, using FTP service, and so on.

Glossary GL-38 Cisco Router and Security Device Manager 2.4 Users Guide OL-4015-10 wildcard mask A bit mask used in access rules, IPSec rules, and NAT rules to specify which portions of the packets IP address must match the IP address in the rule. A wildcard mask contains 32 bits, the same number of bits in an IP address. A wildcard bit value of 0 specifies that the bit in that same position of the packets IP address must match the bit in the IP address in the rule. A value of 1 specifies that the corresponding bit in the packets IP address can be either 1 or 0, that is, that the rule doesnt care what the value of the bit is. A wildcard mask of 0.0.0.0 specifies that all 32 bits in the packets IP address must match the IP address in the rule. A wildcard mask of 0.0.255.0 specifies that the first 16 bits, and the last 8 bits must match, but that the third octet can be any value. If the IP address in a rule is 10.28.15.0, and the mask is 0.0.255.0, the IP address 10.28.88.0 would match the IP address in the rule, and the IP address 10.28.15.55 would not match.
