Chapter 5: Best Practices
Prior to teaching Chapter 5, the instructor should:
 Complete Chapter 5 Assessment.
 Ensure all activities are completed. This is a very important
concept and hands-on time is vital.
 Provide the students many network security and network
monitoring activities.
 Encourage students to login with their cisco.com login and
download

andbook
• Review the Security Technologies and the Network Management
chapters.

Chapter 5: Network Security
and Monitoring
Connecting Networks

Chapter 5 - Sections & Objectives
 5.1 LAN Security
• Explain how to mitigate common LAN security.
 5.2 SNMP
• Configure SNMP to monitor network operations in a small to medium-
sized business network.
 5.3 Cisco Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN)
• Troubleshoot a network problem using SPAN.

5.1 LAN Security

LAN Security
LAN Security Attacks
 Common attacks against the Layer 2 LAN infrastructure
include:
• CDP Reconnaissance Attacks
• Telnet Attacks
• MAC Address Table Flooding Attacks
• VLAN Attacks
• DHCP Attacks

 This topic covers several Layer 2 security solutions:
• Mitigating MAC address table flooding attacks using port security
• Mitigating VLAN attacks
• Mitigating DHCP attacks using DHCP snooping
• Securing administrative access using AAA
• Securing device access using 802.1X port authentication
LAN Security
LAN Security Best Practices

 There are several strategies to help secure Layer 2 of a
network:
• Always use secure variants of these protocols such as SSH, SCP, SSL,
SNMPv3, and SFTP.
• Always use strong passwords and change them often.
• Enable CDP on select ports only.
• Secure Telnet access.
• Use a dedicated management VLAN where nothing but management
traffic resides.
• Use ACLs to filter unwanted access.

5.2 SNMP

SNMP
SNMP Operation
 SNMP allows administrators
to manage and monitor
devices on an IP network.
 SNMP Elements
• SNMP Manager
• SNMP Agent
• MIB
 SNMP Operation
• Trap
• Get
• Set

SNMP
SNMP Operation
 SNMP Security Model and Levels

SNMP
Configuring SNMP
 Configuration steps
• Configure community string
• Document location of device
• Document system contact
• Restrict SNMP Access
• Specify recipient of SNMP
Traps
• Enable traps on SNMP agent

Configuring SNMP
 Securing SNMPv3

5.3 Cisco Switch Port Analyzer
(SPAN)

Cisco Switch Port Analyzer
SPAN Overview
 Port mirroring
• The port mirroring feature allows a switch to copy and send Ethernet
frames from specific ports to the destination port connected to a
packet analyzer. The original frame is still forwarded in the usual
manner.

SPAN Overview
 SPAN terminology

SPAN Overview
 RSPAN terminology

SPAN Configuration
 Use monitor session global configuration command

SPAN as a Troubleshooting Tool
 SPAN allows administrators to
troubleshoot network issues
 Administrator can use SPAN to
duplicate and redirect traffic to a
packet analyzer
 Administrator can analyze traffic
from all devices to troubleshoot
sub-optimal operation of
network applications

5.4 Chapter Summary

Chapter Summary
Summary
 At Layer 2, a number of vulnerabilities exist that require
specialized mitigation techniques:
• MAC address table flooding attacks are addressed with port security.
• VLAN attacks are controlled by disabling DTP and following basic
guidelines for configuring trunk ports.
• DHCP attacks are addressed with DHCP snooping.
 The SNMP protocol has three elements: the Manager, the
Agent, and the MIB. The SNMP manager resides on the
NMS, while the Agent and the MIB are on the client devices.
• The SNMP Manager can poll the client devices for information, or it can
use a TRAP message that tells a client to report immediately if the client
reaches a particular threshold. SNMP can also be used to change the
configuration of a device.

Summary Continued
 SNMPv3 is the recommended version because it provides security.
 SNMP is a comprehensive and powerful remote management tool. Nearly every
item available in a show command is available through SNMP.
 Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) is used to mirror the traffic going to and/or
coming from the host. It is commonly implemented to support traffic analyzers or
IPS devices.
