SIMULATION
A network associate is adding security to the configuration of the Corp1 router. The user on host C
should be able to use a web browser to access financial information from the Finance Web Server.
No other hosts from the LAN nor the Core should be able to use a web browser to access this server.
Since there are multiple resources for the corporation at this location including other resources on
the Finance Web Server, all other traffic should be allowed.
The task is to create and apply an access-list with no more than three statements that will allow
ONLY host C web access to the Finance Web Server. No other hosts will have web access to the
Finance Web Server. All other traffic is permitted.
Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host.
All passwords have been temporarily set to “cisco”.
The Core connection uses an IP address of 198.18.196.65
The computers in the Hosts LAN have been assigned addresses of 192.168.33.1 – 192.168.33.254
Host A 192.168.33.1
Host B 192.168.33.2
Host C 192.168.33.3
Host D 192.168.33.4
The servers in the Server LAN have been assigned addresses of 172.22.242.17 – 172.22.242.30
The Finance Web Server is assigned an IP address of 172.22.242.23.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Select the
console on Corp1
router
Configuring ACL
Corp1>enable
Corp1#configure terminal
comment: To permit only Host C (192.168.33.3){source addr} to access finance server address
(172.22.242.23) {destination addr} on port number 80 (web)
Corp1(config)#access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.33.3 host 172.22.242.23 eq 80
comment: To deny any source to access finance server address (172.22.242.23) {destination addr}
on port number 80 (web)
Corp1(config)#access-list 100 deny tcp any host 172.22.242.23 eq 80
comment: To permit ip protocol from any source to access any destination because of the implicit
deny any any statement at the end of ACL.
Corp1(config)#access-list 100 permit ip any any
Applying the ACL on the Interface
comment: Check show ip interface brief command to identify the interface type and number by
checking the IP address configured.
Corp1(config)#interface fa 0/1
If the ip address configured already is incorrect as well as the subnet mask. this should be corrected
in order ACL to work
type this commands at interface mode :
no ip address 192.x.x.x 255.x.x.x (removes incorrect configured ipaddress and subnet mask)
Configure Correct IP Address and subnet mask :
ip address 172.22.242.30 255.255.255.240 ( range of address specified going to server is given as
172.22.242.17 – 172.22.242.30 )
Comment: Place the ACL to check for packets going outside the interface towards the finance web
server.
Corp1(config-if)#ip access-group 100 out
Corp1(config-if)#endImportant: To save your running config to startup before exit.
Corp1#copy running-config startup-config
Verifying the Configuration:
Step1: show ip interface brief command identifies the interface on which to apply access list.
Step2: Click on each host A, B, C, & D. Host opens a web browser page, Select address box of the
web browser and type the ip address of finance web server (172.22.242.23) to test whether it
permits /deny access to the finance web Server.
Step 3: Only Host C (192.168.33.3) has access to the server. If the other host can also access then
maybe something went wrong in your configuration. Check whether you configured correctly and in
order.
Step 4: If only Host C (192.168.33.3) can access the Finance Web Server you can click on NEXT button
to successfully submit the ACL SIM.
