Assessment Objectives

  • Part 1: Initialize, Reload and Configure Basic Device Settings (40 points, 40 minutes)
  • Part 2: Configure and Single Area OSPFv2 (20 points, 10 minutes)
  • Part 3: Optimize Single Area OSPFv2 (25 points, 20 minutes)

Scenario

In this Skills Assessment (SA) you will configure the devices in a small network. You must configure a router, switch and PCs to support IPv4 connectivity for supported hosts. Your router and switch must also be managed securely. You will configure Single-Area OSPFv2, NAT, and access control lists. Further, you will backup up your working configurations to a TFTP server.

Required Resources

  • 2 Routers (Cisco 4221 with Cisco IOS XE Release 16.9.4 universal image or comparable)
  • 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
  • 2 PCs (Windows with a terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
  • Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
  • Ethernet cables as shown in the topology

Instructions

Part 4: Configure Access Control, NAT, and perform configuration backup

Total points: 30
Time: 30 minutes

Step 1: Configure host computers.

Configure the host computers PC-A and PC-B with IPv4 addresses. (4 points)

DescriptionPC-APC-B
IP Address192.168.1.5010.67.1.50
Subnet Mask255.255.255.0255.255.255.0

PC-A

After configuring each host computer, perform the following tests: (4 points)

SourceTargetProtocolExpected Result
PC-APC-BPing
(C:\>ping 10.67.1.50)
Success
PC-Ahttps://209.165.201.1HTTPS
(On browser, access: https://209.165.201.1)
Success
PC-A209.165.201.1SSH
C:\>ssh -l admin 209.165.201.1
Enter password: admin1pass
Success
PC-B209.165.201.1SSH
C:\>ssh -l admin 209.165.201.1
Enter password: admin1pass
Success

If you get different results, troubleshoot your OSPF and host configurations.

Note: If you are unable to access 209.165.201.1 via https, enter ip http secure-server at R2 CLI.

R2(config)# ip http secure-server
Step 2: Configure Access Control on R2.

Create and apply an access control list on R2 named R2-SECURITY to do the following:

TaskSpecificationPoints
Create an access control listR2-SECURITY2 points
Control HTTP and HTTPS trafficOnly hosts from the 10.0.0.0/8 network are allowed to reach the web server at 209.165.201.12 points
Control SSH trafficSSH is not allowed to the address 209.165.201.12 points
Permit trafficAll other traffic, regardless of protocol, is allowed2 points
Apply the ACLFilter traffic originating from R12 points

On Router R2

R2(config)#ip access-list extended R2-SECURITY
R2(config-ext-nacl)#deny tcp any host 209.165.201.1 eq 443
R2(config-ext-nacl)#deny tcp any host 209.165.201.1 eq 22
R2(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip any any 
R2(config-ext-nacl)#exit

R2(config)#interface g0/0/0
R2(config-if)#ip access-group R2-SECURITY in

After configuring and applying the ACL, perform the following tests: (2 points)

SourceTargetProtocolExpected Result
PC-APC-BPingSuccess
PC-Ahttps://209.165.201.1HTTPSFailure
PC-A209.165.201.1SSHFailure
PC-B209.165.201.1SSHSuccess

If you get different results, double check your ACL configuration and application.

Step 3: Configure NAT.

The decision has been made that the entire organization should be using addresses in the 10.0.0.0/8 network space. R1’s LAN is out of compliance. There are applications and services running in the R1 LAN that cannot have their IP address changed without the entire system being rebuilt, so NAT is in order. Here are the configuration tasks at R1:

TaskSpecificationPoints
Remove 192.168.1.0/24 from OSPFRemove the appropriate network statement at R12 points
Create an ACL to identify hosts allowed to be translatedCreate an ACL that matches the 192.168.1.0 network2 points
Configure Port Address Translation on the outside interface of R1Configure the NAT association between the ACL and the interface g0/0/0 so that it uses port address translation2 points
Identify the interfaces involved in NATSpecify inside or outside on the appropriate interfaces2 points

On Router R1

R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#no network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
R1(config-router)#exit

R1(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

R1(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 interface g0/0/0 overload 

R1(config)#interface g0/0/0
R1(config-if)#ip nat outside
R1(config-if)#interface g0/0/1
R1(config-if)#ip nat inside 
R1(config-if)#
Step 4: Backup all device configurations.
TaskSpecificationPoints
Using the TFTP server on PC-B, backup the running configuration of all of your devices to PC-B using the TFTP protocol 2 points

On 4 devices: R1, R2, S1, S2:

User Access Verification

Password: ciscoconpass

R1/R2/S1/S2>en
Password: ciscoenpass
R1/R2/S1/S2#copy running-config tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 10.67.1.50

If you are testing on a real device, you can install and use SolarwinTFTP on PC-B as TFTP server

Part 5: Cleanup

NOTE: DO NOT PROCEED WITH CLEANUP UNTIL YOUR INSTRUCTOR HAS GRADED YOUR SKILLS EXAM AND HAS INFORMED YOU THAT YOU MAY BEGIN CLEANUP.

Unless directed otherwise by the instructor, restore host computer network connectivity, and then turn off power to the host computers.

Before turning off power to the router and switch, remove the NVRAM configuration files (if saved) from both devices.

Disconnect and neatly put away all LAN cables that were used in the Final.

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
