EVE ACL Challenge

EVE Starting Topology

Reflections from the unit coordinator...

• Depending on the errors made, many students will break OSPF communications and thus all communications fail. It's a good learning experience but only if they eventually figure out what has happened. Many students assume the lack of communications is because the ACL is blocking their packets. In reality the router has no route because OSPF is down.
• Virtual PCs produce meaningful outputs but there should be some example output showing Telnet success, failure and route unavailable.

Learning Objectives

• With reference to the Basic ACL Lab design and configure your own rules.

Preparation

• Run the EVE Topology and copy & paste the following configurations into the appropriate router and PC.

• Load the PC IP configurations with:

PC1

ip 192.168.10.10/24 192.168.10.1

PC2

ip 192.168.11.10/24 192.168.11.1

PC3

ip 192.168.30.10/24 192.168.30.1

• Ensure that there is end-to-end connectivity with the ping command.

Security Policies

Note: * * * Don't apply ACLs to the Loopback - They are special interfaces and IN/OUT are meaningless * * *

Policy 1

No users on the 192.168.10.0 /24 network may send packets to the R2 address 10.1.1.2

• Design an appropriate ACL, apply and test it.
• Consider:
  • Standard or Extended ACL?
  • Where is it best applied.

There may be multiple answers depending on your assumptions. Discuss the options and your thoughts with your peers or the tutor.

Policy 2

Only users on the 192.168.11.0 /24 network may Telnet to 209.165.200.225

• Design an appropriate ACL, apply and test it.
• Consider:
  • Standard or Extended ACL?
  • Where is it best applied.
  • This can be achieved with "access-groups" and "access-classes". Use either method but understand both.
  • Careful to distinguish between IP and TCP.

There may be multiple answers depending on your assumptions. Discuss the options and your thoughts with your peers or the tutor.

Note that in EVE the Virtual PCs support a "ping" command that can be used to test TCP and UDP ports. To see the options try:

PC2> ping help

To test Telnet (port 23) connectivity to 209.165.200.225:

PC2> ping 209.165.200.225 -3 -p 23

Policy 3

Users on IP addresses between 192.168.30.32 and 192.168.30.40 may not ping the Internet Loopback address

• Design an appropriate ACL, apply and test it.
• Consider:
  • Standard or Extended ACL?
  • Where is it best applied.
  • Remember the "implicit deny"

There may be multiple answers depending on your assumptions. Discuss the options and your thoughts with your peers or the tutor.
