Securing Cisco Routers in a ISP network (management-plane?)
by Marco Fretz 31 Jul '08

31 Jul '08

Hi everyone, I'm preparing my routers for IPv6. Along with v6 support comes the requirement to secure router management / services for v6. Currently I've inbound access-lists on all inbound interfaces blocking management traffic (ssh, telnet, ftp, http, etc.) and things like SIP, etc. to all router v4 addresses. You can imagine that this a lot of maintenance work. So my idea was to use the new management-plane (control-plane) protection in IOS 12.4 T. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4t/12_4t11/htsecmpp.html Is there anyone using this already in ISP networks? What are the experience? You can define a loopback interface as management-interface and propagate the loopback addresses with IGP inside the management network. After that, all other interfaces are no longer accepting management traffic to the control-plane, right? Setting an inbound access-list on the loopback interface to filter management traffic may be a good idea, right? Is there any impact to BGP sessions? I sill need access-lists dropping BGP traffic to my router addresses and explicit allowing my bgp peers, right? Any suggestions / ideas welcome. Thanks and best regards Marco

Juniper & VPN to a dyndns site
by Josh Geisser 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi Swinog I've noticed that quite a few Firewalls don't support VPN to a DNS name as peer, so you'll have to enter the remote IP , and better having a fixed IP on the remote site :) Does anyone know whether it's possible to enter a dyndns record as remote side on a Juniper Firewall? Cheers Josh

Firewall recommendation for a rack of webservers?
by Olivier Mueller 18 Jul '08

18 Jul '08

Hello, Now that the office firewall is running fine (uptime: 34 days, not a single problem since last month, cf. the "VDSL/Zyxel P2802 HWL not "strong" enough for a small company LAN?" thread), I'm now back, looking for a new kind of firewall :) For a specific project with it's own rack @datacenter, I would need a device to "protect" about 10 web-servers: - deny everything, and then - allow web traffic (80/443) from everywhere -> servers - allow administrative (sftp/ssh) traffic from specific IP's - ability to detect http-based "attacks/ddos" (like bad configured spidering) : if there are too many http requests from specific hosts -> throttle/deny access for some time. I guess it's something which should be implemented on application level, but who knows... ? - bandwidth: average: 5Mbit/s, peaks: 10-15Mbit/s - stable, reasonable price... (max 1-3kChf?) - rackmount Under digitec.ch ( http://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteAuswahl2.aspx?knr=490 ) as a start there are 9 "Rackmount" FW's. But most of them are VPN-oriented, with IpSec-Tunnels, SSL-Tunnels, etc: mostly stuff which is expensive and that I really don't need. Is there anything you can recommend in this case? It if was only me, I would take something there: http://pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=50 and start with that. But the customer would also like to see some "non open-source"-based solutions... :> Regards, Olivier
