[c-nsp] Cisco ISE - NMAP Profiling

2016-01-12 Thread Steve Housego
Hi All,

Has anyone got any experience with ISE Profiling in relation to static IP 
devices and NMAP Scanning?

I have the situation where we have some statically addressed devices that do 
not support EAP.

Scenario;

I have a ‘catch-all’ MAB authorisation rule matching the built in ‘Wired MAB’ 
condition but delivering a downloadable ACL permitting return traffic back to 
ISE to support NMAP scanning (and dhcp but not relevant for this scenario).

Once authenticated ISE nmap scans the device and detects the device (finds 
various ports, SNMP hostnames etc), lets call it a RICOH printer, it sends the 
COA to the switch and it re-runs through the authorisation rules and now 
matches a more specific rule which permits full access to the network.

All great…. Until

I configure another device (evil hax0r’s laptop) with the same mac/ip address, 
unplug the printer and plug in my laptop.. I gain full network access and 
seemingly I’m never ‘re-profiled’ (within my test 12 hour window anyway, plenty 
of time to wreak havoc)

Question;

Why would ISE not re-scan on each subsequent authentication? I have the NMAP 
probe enabled, and NMAP scan is in the policy for ‘ricoh-printer’.

If ISE inherently has some block that prevents a re-run the nmap scan – what is 
the point of profiling/nmap scans? ISE is simply using standard MAB at this 
point, we might as well have stuck with Cisco ACS.

Whilst I appreciate an NMAP scan could take anywhere from 5-10 seconds, we 
would simply scale up the environment to cater for how many concurrent scans 
would need to take place. Our PSN's are all dual quad cpu's and we’d even be 
happy to dedicate PSN’s as nmap probes, in theory we should be able to crank 
out 10’s if not 100’s of nmap scans simultaneously (which would likely never be 
required scenario anyway).

As we don’t use re-authentication timers a device could be on the network for 
months or even years requiring only 1 nmap scan per host per x weeks/months of 
use. Even then, the amount of the hosts we’d require the full nmap scan on are 
so few, as the majority of our estate is EAP-TLS and doesn’t require nmap 
scanning.

I’m either missing something obvious or Cisco have really missed a trick here 
in relation to static IP devices/NMAP, it seems so sensible to assume there 
would be a endpoint profile comparison post authentication and a CoA sent if 
the host has changed, and I can’t think of a downside of doing so. Even if it 
took 10mins to complete an NMAP scan and feed the info into the DB, at least 
the attacker would be kicked off, in the current scenario the attacker can stay 
on the network until someone realises the printer isn’t printing anymore.

Further;

Im aware I could restrict the printer/potential attackers access with dACL’s 
etc, however Cisco is banging on about ISE and profiling etc, and it seemingly 
can’t even protect the low hanging fruit.


Thanks

Re: [c-nsp] Basic inbound BGP path preferencing query

2015-01-27 Thread Steve Housego
You could always use an as-path prepend,

Announce yours routes with the same prefix from both connections

route 1 would show as AS123 AS5089 AS-XX
route 2 would show as AS123 AS123 AS174 AS-XX

This allows more traffic to come in via route 1, whilst still utilising
route 2, (you can also add multiple pre-prends if required). For example
AS174 will prefer customer routes so traffic from as174 to your as123
should always come in that path. Any of AS174¹s peerings may prefer that
route if they don¹t also peer with AS5089 for example.

This obviously only works per entire subnet rather than individual IP¹s
but it still allows you to utilise both links un-equally (if that¹s a
word? :).

[c-nsp] Cisco IOS Licensing - Downgrade

2015-01-06 Thread Steve Housego
Trying to get a straight answer from Cisco and I¹m not getting any
definitive answers.


Can anyone here comment on if you¹re legally able to downgrade IOS without
a SMARTnet contract?


A bunch of routers arrived and I want to downgrade the code to match the
ones we already have in production (same make/model - 887VA).

Getting the IOS of one of the existing routers isn¹t a problem - it¹s the
legal issue of using code that it wasn¹t shipped with? The EULA has
Œupgrades¹ written all over it, but no mention of downgrade.

You will need to add the source/dest networks in the crypto maps,
configure your split tunnelling (if your not tunnelling all networks),
configure your nat exempt (outside,outside), and as john has mentioned
same-security-traffic permit intra-interface.

You may need to put in an ACL as well if your not bypassing interface
ACL¹s in your VPN config.

Re: [c-nsp] Cisco ME3800X with EIGRP

2014-03-10 Thread Steve Housego
Yeah whilst PBR may be activated with a sdm template I don’t think EIGRP v6 
will be as its defined as an unsupported feature at the top of the document.

I think this document "Configuring Unicast IPv6 routing" is a standard template 
and they have simply stated eigrpv6 is unsupported despite there being sections 
about it in the document.

Thanks to all who responded :)

Apparently the scaled license is also required in order to support Policy Based 
Routing.  It seems counter-intuitive given it's a "scale"
not a "feature" license, but it's documented here:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/release/15-4_1_S/configuration/guide/3800x3600xscg/swpbr.html

I ran into this 18 months ago.  I think it's inconsistent and a pretty nasty 
gotcha for the uninitiated.

Re: [c-nsp] Cisco ME3800X with EIGRP

2014-03-09 Thread Steve Housego
Hi Sander,

Thanks for the reply, that was our first thought as well... we tried, but only 
the default sdm template was available to us. I've just had a scan through the 
datasheet and noticed this;

Switch Database Management (SDM) templates (with the Scalability license only)

This is a £3000+ licence (L-ME3800X-S).. which isn't great just to enable 
EIGRP! Can anyone here confirm if this would provide EIGRP for IPv6? I'll check 
with cisco tomorrow.  The datasheet does not mention EIGRP under unicast IPv6 
routing protocols, regardless of licence. There is one statement "The Services 
Scalability license enables full scalability for Layer 2, IP routing, MPLS 
resources and the use of Switch Management Database (SDM) templates." but I 
assume this simply means more resource being unlocked.

A cisco switch/rtr without eigrp.. first time I've encountered it!

I'm not familiar with that switch, but missing commands on switches are often 
caused by using the wrong SDM template... You might want to check the options

[c-nsp] Cisco ME3800X with EIGRP

2014-03-09 Thread Steve Housego
Hi NSP,

Is anyone familiar with the 3800X and why we are unable to configure EIGRP for 
IPv6 even though its clearly stated in the configuration guide as available?

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/release/15-3_1_S/configuration/guide/3800x3600xscg/swipv6.html#wp1117377

We are a cisco only shop and prefer to use EIGRP to distribute our loopbacks 
and backbone links and we've came across this issue while trying to dual stack.

I suspect this is an error in the document as the commands simply aren't there, 
if so - anyone got any inside info on if cisco plan to support eigrp for IPv6 
on their own switch anytime soon!?

Many thanks

SteveH

Starting out with route reflectors is a good idea.  It makes the network easier 
to scale as needed.

Doing a full IBGP mesh gets messy very quickly.  Even if you use peer-groups to 
simplify things, you're still dealing with a lot of IBGP sessions ((n * (n - 
1)) / 2 sessions).  With 5 routers, that would mean 10 sessions.  With 10 
routers, that would mean 45 sessions.  Additionally, managing all of those 
sessions can chew up a lot of resources on your routers.  Anything you can 
simplify will serve you well over time.

Re: [c-nsp] EIGRP on mGRE/DMVPN

2013-11-01 Thread Steve Housego
Thanks for the reply Chris,

I've looked, but not made the investment yet, theres loads on there that i want 
to look at to be honest :)

110% agree dynamic BGP peer groups is the route we should take but the problem 
is this new router is to support an existing eigrp dmvpn network which has 2x 
3825's at the primary Hub site with around 250 eigrp neighbors per mgre per 
router (only 1 mgre per router),

This new router is to be placed in the DR site location, we dont want to buy 2x 
routers for the DR site (cost/rack space/power etc..) nor increase the 
complexity/deployement.

Really just looking for a firm answer on how many eigrp neighbors are supported 
on a single mgre, and what sorts of issues might present themselves when we 
push it to circa 500 (i.e. slow re-convergage - we can live with that for DR)

Hi all,

Has anyone ever put more than 500 eigrp nieghbours over an mGRE(DMVPN) 
interface? If so on what hardware? Any issues encountered?

Were looking at either a 3845 or an ASR1002, with approximatly 500 neighbors on 
a single mgre interface but with potental to grow, we want to standardise our 
config so would prefer one tunnel endpoint.

Based on the DMVPN design guide (see extract below) it suggests well under 500 
as a maximum, but is dated in 2008... 5 years later and ASR's are reasonbly 
priced..

"If the DMVPN subnet is configured with a /24 network prefix, the neighbor 
count is limited to 254, which is a safe operational limit. Beyond this number, 
a compromise is required to balance re-convergence with recovery. In very large 
EIGRP networks, it may be necessary to adjust the EIGRP hold time to allow the 
hub more time to recover without thrashing. However, the convergence time of 
the network is delayed. This method has been used in the lab to establish 400 
neighbors. "
