    This document provides instructions for configuring secure passwords and SSH access on a router (RTA) and switch (SW1) to harden their security. The steps include: 1. Configuring basic IP settings and passwords on RTA and encrypting all passwords. This includes setting strong passwords, disabling DNS lookup, and setting the domain name. 2. Creating a local user on RTA with a strong encrypted password and generating 1024-bit RSA keys for SSH access. 3. Disabling unused ports on SW1 using port ranges and interface commands to improve security. Basic security settings are also configured, like on RTA. 4. Configuring all VTY lines on both devices for SSH

    and SSH.

    16.4.6 Packet Tracer – Configure Secure Passwords and SSH

    Addressing Table

    Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway

    RTA G0/0 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0 N/A

    PCA NIC 172.16.1.10 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.1

    SW1 VLAN 1 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.1

    Scenario
    The network administrator has asked you to prepare RTA and SW1 for
    deployment. Before they can be connected to the network, security
    measures must be enabled.

    Intructions

    Step 1: Configure Basic Security on the Router


    a. Configure IP addressing on PCA according to the Addressing Table.
    b. Console into RTA from the Terminal on PCA.
    c. Configure the hostname as RTA.
    d. Configure IP addressing on RTA and enable the interface.
    e. Encrypt all plaintext passwords.
    RTA(config)# service password-encryption

    f. Set the minimum password length to 10.


    RTA(config)# security password min-length 10

    g. Set a strong secret password of your choosing.


    Note: Choose a password that you will remember, or you will need to reset
    the activity if you are locked out of the device.
    h. Disable DNS lookup.
    RTA(config)# no ip domain-lookup

    i. Set the domain name to CCNA.com (case-sensitive for scoring in PT).


    RTA(config)# ip domain-name CCNA.com

    j. Create a user of your choosing with a strong encrypted password.


    RTA(config)# username any_user secret any_password

    k. Generate 1024-bit RSA keys.


    Note: In Packet Tracer, enter the crypto key generate rsa command and
    press Enter to continue.
    RTA(config)# crypto key generate rsa

    The name for the keys will be: RTA.CCNA.com


    Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360
    to 2048 for your

    General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater


    than 512 may take

    a few minutes.

    How many bits in the modulus [512]: 1024

    l. Block anyone for three minutes who fails to log in after four attempts within
    a two-minute period.
    RTA(config)# login block-for 180 attempts 4 within 120

    m. Configure all VTY lines for SSH access and use the local user profiles for
    authentication.
    RTA(config)# line vty 0 4

    RTA(config-line)# transport input ssh

    RTA(config-line)# login local

    n. Set the EXEC mode timeout to 6 minutes on the VTY lines.


    RTA(config-line)# exec-timeout 6

    o. Save the configuration to NVRAM.


    p. Access the command prompt on the desktop of PCA to establish an SSH
    connection to RTA.
    (Make sure you have IP configured for PCA)
    C:\> ssh /?

    Packet Tracer PC SSH

    Usage: SSH -l username target

    C:\>

    C:\>SSH -l jony 172.16.1.1


    Password: <~~ enter password itexamanswers.net

    Step 2: Configure Basic Security on the Switch


    Configure switch SW1 with corresponding security measures. Refer to the
    configuration steps on the router if you need additional assistance.
    a. Click on SW1 and select the CLI tab.
    b. Configure the hostname as SW1.
    c. Configure IP addressing on SW1 VLAN1 and enable the interface.
    d. Configure the default gateway address.
    e. Disable all unused switch ports.
    Note: On a switch it is a good security practice to disable unused ports. One
    method of doing this is to simply shut down each port with
    the ‘shutdown’ command. This would require accessing each port
    individually. There is a shortcut method for making modifications to several
    ports at once by using the interface range command. On SW1 all ports
    except FastEthernet0/1 and GigabitEthernet0/1 can be shutdown with the
    following command:
    SW1(config)# interface range F0/2-24, G0/2

    SW1(config-if-range)# shutdown

    %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/2, changed


    state to administratively down

    %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/3, changed


    state to administratively down

    <Output omitted>

    %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/24, changed


    state to administratively down

    %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed


    state to administratively down
    The command used the port range of 2-24 for the FastEthernet ports and
    then a single port range of GigabitEthernet0/2.
    f. Encrypt all plaintext passwords.
    g. Set a strong secret password of your choosing.
    h. Disable DNS lookup.
    i. Set the domain name to CCNA.com (case-sensitive for scoring in PT).
    j. Create a user of your choosing with a strong encrypted password.
    k. Generate 1024-bit RSA keys.
    l. Configure all VTY lines for SSH access and use the local user profiles for
    authentication.
    m. Set the EXEC mode timeout to 6 minutes on all VTY lines.
    n. Save the configuration to NVRAM.
