CCIE-LAB-ASA

1) to see ASA as a hop during traceroute you need to:

policy-map global_policy
class class-default
set connection ttl-decrement

2) interface: port-channel & redundant

a) port channel - active - active mode (port channel on switch is required)

b) redundant - active/passive mode (default settings on switch because only one port is active

3) traceroute

linux/cisco version:
 
a) router send udp packet on port 33434 -> send to destination with ttl 1 (3 times)
b) icmp time-exceeded -> because of ttl=0
c) udp on port 33437 -> send with incremented ttl+1 (ttl=2)
d) and so on till it reach the destination
e) destination sends icmp port unreachable

windows version:
 
a) icmp echo request ->
b) icmp time exceeded  <-
c) and so on
d) icmp echo reply

4) global access-list

Starting with code 8.3(1), you can also apply one IPv4 and one IPv6 ACL globally, configured with the command access-group global; the global access-list is always interpreted as an inbound ACL. When the global ACL is applied, the implicit deny ip any any rule is removed from any ACL applied inbound on any interfaces, so that the global ACL is inspected. Assuming all ACLs are configured, and assuming a packet enters the inside interface and exits the outside interface, the rules are:

-Traffic is matched against the inbound ACL applied on the inside interface. If there is a match, the action is taken; if not, it will match on the default deny ip any any unless global ACL is configured.

-Traffic is matched against the global ACL. If there is a match, the action is taken; if not, it will match on the default deny ip any any rule.

-Traffic is matched against the outbound ACL applied on the outside interface. If there is a match, the action is taken; if not, it will match on the default deny ip any any rule.

5) objects

You can specify an object with different protocols (i.e. tcp and udp) and use it for protocol specification, you don’t need to specify ports numbers again:
 
!
object-group service OTHER_PORTS
 service-object tcp destination eq 21
 service-object udp destination eq 123
!
access-list VLAN29_INBOUND extended permit object-group OTHER_PORTS object-group R2 object-group ALL_DESTINATIONS
!

6) routing

You can send default route and metric can be changed by a route-map (default is 1):
 
!
route-map RIP_DEFAULT_ROUTE permit 10
 set metric 10
!
router rip
 network 7.0.0.0
 network 8.0.0.0
 default-information originate route-map RIP_DEFAULT_ROUTE
 no auto-summary
!

7) EIGRP - prefix filtering

I’d like to stop sending prefix 66.66.66.0/24:
 
access-list EIGRP standard deny 66.66.66.0 255.255.255.0 
access-list EIGRP standard permit any 
!        
router eigrp 100
 no auto-summary
 distribute-list EIGRP out
 network 7.7.7.0 255.255.255.0
 network 8.8.8.0 255.255.255.0
!

8) NAT

old way:
 
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 2023 7.7.7.1 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255

new way:
 
object network TELNET-R
 nat (inside,outside) static interface service tcp telnet 2023 
!
object network TELNET-R
 host 11.11.11.11

9) Policy NAT

-STATIC

8.2:
 
access-list NAT1 extended permit ip host 22.22.22.22 host 11.11.11.11 

!
nat (outside) 1 access-list NAT1 outside
!
global (inside) 1 150.1.1.1

8.4:
 
object network R1-LO
 host 11.11.11.11
object network R3-LO
 host 22.22.22.22
object network R3-LO-N
 host 150.1.1.1
!
access-list OUT extended permit ip host 22.22.22.22 host 11.11.11.11 
!
nat (outside,inside) source static R3-LO R3-LO-N destination static R1-LO R1-LO
!

-DYNAMIC

8.4:
 
!
object network R1-LAN
 subnet 11.11.11.0 255.255.255.0
object network R1-LAN-N-POOL
 range 136.1.49.120 136.1.49.130
object network R1-LAN-N-POOL-PAT
 host 136.1.49.130
!
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic R1-LAN R1-LAN-N-POOL
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic R1-LAN pat-pool R1-LAN-N-POOL-PAT
nat (VLAN19,any) source dynamic R1_LO0_REAL pat-pool PAT_POOL round-robin

8.2:
 
asa2(config)# sh run nat
nat (inside) 2 access-list NAT2
asa2(config)# sh run global
global (outside) 2 136.1.29.120-136.1.29.130 netmask 255.255.255.0
global (outside) 2 136.1.29.131 netmask 255.255.255.255
asa2(config)#

-OTHERS

Let’s assume we accept only telnet request on port 2023 (ASA will rewrite it to 23) and we want to change source IP go global IP (static):

8.2:
 
static (outside,inside) tcp 32.32.32.32 2023 32.32.32.32 telnet netmask 255.255.255.255


access-list TELNET1 extended permit tcp host 4.4.4.1 host 32.32.32.32 eq 2023 

nat (inside) 2 access-list TELNET1
global (outside) 2 150.150.150.150

and I tested it:
 
telnet 32.32.32.32 2023
asa2# sh xlate 
2 in use, 3 most used
PAT Global 32.32.32.32(2023) Local 32.32.32.32(23) 
PAT Global 150.150.150.150(59001) Local 4.4.4.1(53207) 
asa2#

8.3:
 
nat (inside,outside) source dynamic R1-int-R R1-int-N interface service TELNET-2023 TELNET-23

nat (inside,outside) source static R1-lo0-R interface service TELNET-2023 TELNET-23

10) Asymmetric traffic (multicontext)
 
hostname/ctx(config)# interface phy_if

hostname/ctx(config-if)# asr-group num

11) QOS

Configure priority queuing for shaped VoIP bearer and GETVPN signaling traffic on ASA1:

-GETVPN signaling is defined as GDOI exchange on the default port. -VoIP bearer traffic is marked with the DSCP value of EF. -All other traffic should receive best-effort service. -Adjust traffic-shaping interval to provide minimum delay for VoIP traffic.
 
ASA1:
class-map VPN
 match port udp eq 848
!
class-map VOICE
 match dscp ef
!
policy-map CHILD_POLICY
 class VPN
  priority
 class VOICE
  priority
!
policy-map SHAPER
 class class-default
  shape average 512000 5120
  service-policy CHILD_POLICY
!
service-policy SHAPER interface VLAN49

2nd example:
 
hostname(config)# access-list ike permit udp any any eq 500 
hostname(config)# class-map ike
hostname(config-cmap)# match access-list ike
hostname(config-cmap)# class-map voice_traffic
hostname(config-cmap)# match dscp EF AF13
hostname(config-cmap)# policy-map qos_class_policy
hostname(config-pmap)# class voice_traffic
hostname(config-pmap-c)# priority

What should you know about HA 'override enabled' setting on Fortigate?

High availability is mandatory in most of today's network designs. Only very small companies or branches can run their business without redundancy. When you have Fortigate firewall in your network you have many options to increase network availability. You can use Fortigate Clustering Protocol ( FGCP ) or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol ( VRRP ). FGCP has two modes: 'override' disabled (default) and 'override' enabled . I'm not going to explain how to set up HA as you can find many resources on Fortinet websites: https://cookbook.fortinet.com/high-availability-two-fortigates-56/ https://cookbook.fortinet.com/high-availability-with-fgcp-56/ Let's recap what is the main difference between them. The default HA setting is 'override' disabled and this is an order of selection an active unit: 1) number of monitored interfaces - when both units have the same number of working (up) interfaces check next parameter 2) HA uptime - an

MAC Authentication Bypass

One of the method to control your network is using MAB feature. It is helpful in case you have devices without dot1x functionality. Today I will try to implement basic configuration and analyze log messages. There is only one switch SW1 and one device attached to port Fa1/0/2.   ! aaa new - model aaa authentication dot1x default group radius ! ! int Fas1 / 0 / 2 authentication host - mode single - host authentication port - control auto mab ! I haven’t configured ACS yet but let’s see what error message I receive:   SW1 ( config - if ) # mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Received MAB context create from AuthMgr mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Created MAB client context 0x1100000F mab : initial state mab_initialize has enter mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Sending create new context event to EAP from MAB for 0x1100000F ( 0000.0000 . 0000 ) mab - sm ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Received event 'MAB_START' on handle 0x1100000F mab : during state mab_initia

Inpection of asymmetric sessions on FortiGate

There is one feature available on FortiGate, and I think you should know it, as it modifies a bit what we know about stateful firewalls. In past every packet was treated individually and you had to create policies in both directions. With stateful firewalls we can track connections, and by checking couple of attributes, we can treat them as part of the same session. For example when you initiate connection from a host1 to host2, the returning connection from host2 to host1 will be treated as part of the same connection (session). They have to have the same source/destination and destination/source IPs, port numbers and interfaces.There is an exception from this rule and FortiGate in some specific cases can accept connections on port which was not used in the initial connection. Let me explain how it works on the below example:      The host1 has a default gateway on R1 (10.0.1.2), but you may notice that it is not the optimal path to host2 subnet. When we analyze the packet flo
