Two Interfaces without NAT - Basic

When you first add a PIX Firewall to an existing network, it is easiest to implement its use if you do not have to renumber all the inside and outside IP addresses. The configuration in illustrates this scenario. Syslog is enabled to facilitate troubleshooting. All inside hosts can start connections. All external hosts are blocked from initiating connections or sessions on inside hosts. If you use Inter-NIC registered IP addresses, only use those addresses that you own.

Figure 5-1 Two Interfaces without NAT

lists the configuration.

Table 5-1 Two Interfaces without NAT 

Configuration
Description
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 auto

PIX Firewall provides nameif and interface command statements for the interfaces in the default configuration.

ip address outside 192.150.50.3 255.255.255.0
ip address inside 172.31.2.100 255.255.255.0

Identify the IP addresses for both interfaces.

hostname pixfirewall

Specifies the host name for the PIX Firewall. This name appears in the command line prompt.

arp timeout 14400

Sets the ARP timeout to 14,400 seconds (four hours). Entries are kept in the ARP table for four hours before they are flushed. Four hours is the standard default value for ARP timeouts.

no failover

Disables failover access.

names

Enables use of text strings instead of IP addresses. This makes your configuration files more readable.

pager lines 24

Enables paging so that if when 24 lines of information display, PIX Firewall pauses the listing and prompts you to continue.

logging buffered debugging

Enables syslog messages, which provide diagnostic information and status for the PIX Firewall. PIX Firewall makes it easy to view syslog messages with the show logging command.

nat (inside) 0 172.31.2.0 255.255.255.0

Lets inside IP addresses be recognized on the outside network and lets inside users start outbound connections.

rip inside default
no rip inside passive
no rip outside default
no rip outside passive

Sets RIP listening attributes. The first command causes the PIX Firewall to broadcast a default route on the inside interface. Broadcasting a default route sends network traffic to the PIX Firewall if your internal network is running RIP. The next command disables passive RIP listening on the inside. The next command disables broadcasting a default route on the outside. This is desirable when the network is attached to the Internet, but not when on an intranet. The last command disables passive RIP listening on the outside.

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.150.50.1 1

Sets the outside default route to the router attached to the Internet.

timeout xlate 3:00:00 conn 1:00:00 
half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00
timeout rpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00 
timeout uauth 0:05:00 absolute

Default values for the maximum duration that PIX Firewall resources can remain idle until being freed. Additional users cannot make connections until a connection resource is freed either by a user dropping a connection or by an xlate and conn timer time out.

no snmp-server location
no snmp-server contact
snmp-server community public

Specifies that SNMP information may be accessed by internal hosts that know the community string, but PIX Firewall does not send trap information to any host.

mtu outside 1500
mtu inside 1500

Sets the maximum transmission unit value for Ethernet access.


Two Interfaces with NAT - Basic

In , the PIX Firewall has two interfaces. In this configuration, there is no user authentication, no authorization, and no syslog or SNMP logging of troubleshooting messages. All inside users can start outbound connections and all connections from the outside are dropped. A configuration such as this is a good example of the basic commands used to create a secured network.

Figure 5-2

Two Interfaces with NAT

lists the configuration.

Table 5-2 Two Interfaces with NAT

Configuration
Description
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 auto

PIX Firewall provides nameif and interface command statements for the interfaces in the default configuration.

ip address outside 192.150.50.3 255.255.255.0
ip address inside 10.0.0.3 255.0.0.0

Identify the IP addresses for both interfaces.

arp timeout 14400

Set the ARP timeout to 14,400 seconds (four hours). Entries are kept in the ARP table for four hours before they are flushed.

nat (inside) 1 0 0

Permit all inside users to start outbound connections using the translated IP addresses from the global pool.

global (outside) 1 192.150.50.76-192.150.50.85
global (outside) 1 192.150.50.75

Create a pool of global addresses that translated addresses use when they exit the firewall from the protected networks to the unprotected networks. The global command statement is associated with a nat command statement by the nat_ID, which in this example is 1. Because there are only 9 IP addresses in the pool, a PAT (Port Address Translation) global is added to handle overflow.

no rip inside default
no rip inside passive
no rip outside default
no rip outside passive

PIX Firewall does use RIP information for its forwarding decisions, but these commands can be useful for broadcasting a default route—if your network uses the RIP protocol. However, most do not. In most cases, you can ignore these command statements.

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.150.50.1 1

Set the outside default route to the router attached to the Internet.

timeout xlate 3:00:00 conn 1:00:00 
half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00
timeout rpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00 
timeout uauth 0:05:00 absolute

Default values for the maximum duration that PIX Firewall resources can remain idle until being freed. Additional users cannot make connections until a connection resource is freed either by a user dropping a connection or by an xlate and conn timer time out.

conduit permit icmp any any

Allows inbound and outbound pings.

no snmp-server location
no snmp-server contact
snmp-server community public

Specifies that SNMP information may be accessed by internal hosts that know the community string, but PIX Firewall does not send trap information to any host.

telnet 10.0.0.100 255.255.255.255
telnet timeout 15

Specifies that host 10.0.0.100 is permitted to access the PIX Firewall console via Telnet and that 15 minutes are allowed before the idle timer runs out and the session is logged off.

mtu outside 1500
mtu inside 1500

Sets the maximum transmission unit value for Ethernet access.


Two Interfaces with NAT - Advanced

The configuration in provides an overview of how the various commands are used to create a configuration.

This configuration shows the use of PAT (Port Address Translation), denying Java applets, using the AAA commands, creating a mail server, permitting NFS, initializing SNMP, and setting console access with Telnet.

Figure 5-3 Two Interfaces with NAT - Advanced

lists the configuration.

Table 5-3 Two Interfaces with NAT - Advanced

Configuration
Description
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 auto

PIX Firewall provides nameif and interface command statements for the interfaces in the default configuration.

ip address inside 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip address outside 204.31.17.10 255.255.255.0

Identify the IP addresses for both interfaces.

logging on
logging host 10.1.1.11
logging trap 7
logging facility 20
no logging console

The logging host command statement specifies which host runs a syslog server. This command also causes the PIX Firewall to start sending syslog messages to that host. The logging trap command statement sets syslog to send all possible messages to the syslog host. The no logging console command statement disables displaying messages to the console.

arp timeout 600

Set an ARP timeout to 600 seconds (10 minutes). Use this arp timeout command statement when you set up a network and change inside and outside host addresses often.

nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
nat (inside) 2 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0

Permit all inside users to start outbound connections using the translated IP addresses from the global pool.

global (outside) 1 204.31.17.25-204.31.17.27
global (outside) 1 204.31.17.24
global (outside) 2 192.159.1.1-192.159.1.254

Create two pools of global addresses to let the nat command statements use the address pools for translating internal IP addresses to external addresses. Each pool is designated by the number from the nat command statement, in this case, 1 and 2.

conduit permit icmp any any

Allow inbound and outbound pings.

outbound 10 deny 192.168.3.3 255.255.255.255 1720
outbound 10 deny 0 0 80
outbound 10 permit 192.168.3.3 255.255.255.255 80
outbound 10 deny 192.168.3.3 255.255.255.255 java
outbound 10 permit 10.1.1.11 255.255.255.255 80

Create access lists to determine which hosts can access services. The first outbound command statement denies host 192.168.3.3 from accessing H.323 (port 1720) services such as MS NetMeeting or InternetPhone. The next command statement denies all hosts from accessing the Web (port 80). The next two command statements permits host 192.168.3.3 to use the Web, but denies its users from downloading Java applets. The last outbound command statement permits host 10.1.1.11 access to the Web (at port 80) and to download Java applets. This permit command statement outweighs the previous deny regardless of the order in which the command statements are entered into the configuration.

apply (inside) 10 outgoing_src

Specify that the outbound group regulates the activities of inside hosts starting outbound connections.

no rip outside passive
no rip outside default

rip inside passive
rip inside default

The first command disables RIP listening on the outside interface. The second command disables broadcasting a default route on the outside.

The third command enables RIP listening on the inside and the last command causes PIX Firewall to broadcast a default route on the inside interface.

route outside 0 0 204.31.17.1 1

Set the default route on the outside network to be 204.31.17.1. This is the IP address of the host connecting to the Internet.

aaa-server TACACS+ (inside) host 10.1.1.12 1q2w3e
aaa authentication any inside 192.168.3.0 
                  255.255.255.0 0 0 TACACS+
aaa authorization any inside 192.168.3.0
                   255.255.255.0 0 0

The aaa-server command specifies the IP address of the TACACS+ authentication server. The aaa authentication command statement specifies that users on network 192.168.3.0 starting FTP, HTTP, and Web connections from the inside interface be prompted for their usernames and passwords before being permitted to access these servers on other interfaces. The aaa authorization command statement lets the users on 192.168.3.0 access FTP, HTTP, or Telnet, and any TCP connections to anywhere as authorized by the AAA server. Even though it appears that the aaa commands let the PIX Firewall set security policy, the authentication server actually does the work to decide which users are authenticated and what services they can access when authentication is permitted.

static (inside, outside) 204.31.19.0 192.168.3.0 
netmask 255.255.255.0
conduit permit tcp 204.31.19.0 255.255.255.0 
eq h323 any

The static command statement creates a net static command statement, which is a static command statement for a Class IP address, in this case for IP addresses 204.31.19.1 through 204.31.19.254. The static command shows the use of the connection limit and the embryonic limit arguments. The maximum number of connections limits the number of connections a host can use. This command permits access to only 10 users and up to 30 SYNs (embryonic connections). Note that the static command's maximum connections option applies to both inbound and outbound connections.

The conduit command statement lets users on the Internet send InternetPhone (port h323) requests to users on 192.168.3.x while addressing them as 204.31.19.x.

static (inside, outside) 204.31.17.29 10.1.1.11 
conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.29 eq 80 any

The static command statement with the conduit command statement establishes an externally visible IP address for Web access (port 80 in the conduit command statement).

conduit permit udp host 204.31.17.29 eq rpc 
host 204.31.17.17

Refine the accessibility of the static command by permitting Sun RPC over the UDP portmapper on port 111. Refer to the UNIX /etc/rpc file and the UNIX rpc(3N) command page for more information. Once you create a conduit for RPC, you can use the following command from outside host 204.31.17.17 to track down the activity of a PCNFSD on RPC 150001:

rpcinfo -u 204.31.17.29 150001

Another use of RPC is with the following command to see the exports of 204.31.17.29 if you want to allow NFS mounting from outside in:

showmount -e 204.31.17.29

Many protocols based on RPC, as well as NFS, are insecure and should be used with caution. Review your security policies carefully before permitting access to RPC.

conduit permit udp host 204.31.17.29 eq 2049 
host 204.31.17.17

Permit NFS access, which occurs at port 2049 and provides access between the outside and inside, such that 204.31.17.17 can mount 10.1.1.11.

static (inside, outside) 204.31.17.30 10.1.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.255 10 10
conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.30 eq smtp any

Identify access to the 10.1.1.3 mail server through global address 204.31.17.30. The conduit permits any outside host access to the static via SMTP (port 25). By default, PIX Firewall restricts all access to mail servers to RFC 821 section 4.5.1 commands of DATA, HELO, MAIL, NOOP, QUIT, RCPT, and RSET. This occurs via the Mail Guard service which is set with the following default configuration command:

fixup protocol smtp 25

Another aspect of providing access to a mail server is setting being sure that you have a DNS MX record for the static's global address, which outside users access when sending mail to your site.

conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.30 eq 113 any

Create access to port 113, the IDENT protocol. If the mail server has to talk to many mail servers on the outside which connect back with the now obsolete and highly criticized IDENT protocol, use this conduit command statement to speed up mail transmission.

snmp-server host 192.168.3.2
snmp-server location building 42
snmp-server contact polly hedra
snmp-server community ohwhatakeyisthee

These commands specify that host 192.168.3.2 can receive SNMP events, which the PIX Firewall sends via syslog. The location and contact commands identify where the host is and who administers it. The community command describes the password in use at the SNMP server for verifying network access with the server.

telnet 10.1.1.11 255.255.255.255
telnet 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0

These commands permit host access to the PIX Firewall console. The first telnet command permits a single host, 10.1.1.11 to access the PIX Firewall console with Telnet. The 255 value in the last octet of the netmask means that only the specified host can access the console.

The second telnet command permits PIX Firewall console access from all hosts on the 192.168.3.0 network. The 0 value in the last octet of the netmask permits all hosts in that network access. However, Telnet only permits 16 hosts simultaneous access to the PIX Firewall console over Telnet.


Three Interfaces without NAT

static (dmz,outside) 192.150.50.70 192.150.50.70
conduit permit tcp host 192.150.50.70 any

Maps access to the 192.150.50.70 host on the dmz interface. The conduit command lets any outside user access the host on any port.


Three Interfaces with NAT

In , the PIX Firewall has three interfaces and these attributes:

Address translation is performed between the interfaces.

A web server on the DMZ interface is publicly accessible. The name command maps its host address to the name "webserver."

The inside network has illegal addresses (10.0.0.0), the DMZ interface has RFC 1918 addresses (192.168.0.0), and the outside network has legal, registered addresses (192.150.50.0).

TCP and UDP connections from the inside are allowed to go out on the DMZ and outside.

An inside host has been given Telnet access to the PIX Firewall console.

lists the configuration.

Four Interfaces with NAT

In , the PIX Firewall has four interfaces. In this configuration, there is no user authentication and no authorization. NAT (Network Address Translation) is in effect to translate addresses. In this example, users on all interfaces have access to all the servers and hosts on the inside, dmz1, and dmz2 interfaces can start connections.

This section includes the following topics:

Guidelines for a Configuration with Four Interfaces

IP Addresses for a Configuration with Four Interfaces

Configuration with Four Interfaces

Figure 5-6

Four Interfaces with NAT

Configuring PIX Firewall for four interfaces requires more attention to detail than other configurations.

Guidelines for a Configuration with Four Interfaces

This section includes the following topics:

Higher Security Level to Lower Security Level Access

Lower Security Level to Higher Security Level Access

The most important guidelines to remember are:

Higher to lower—To let users on a higher security level interface access hosts on a lower security interface, use the nat and global commands; for example, to let users on the inside interface access the web server on the dmz2 interface. As seen in , the inside interface has a security level of 100 and the dmz2 interface has a security level of 60.

The nat command lets users access all hosts on all lower security level interfaces. The global command identifies the interface through which the nat access is permitted.

Lower to higher—To let users on a lower security level interface access hosts on a higher security interface, use the static and conduit commands; for example, to let users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server on the inside interface. As seen in , the dmz1 interface has a security level of 40 and the inside interface has a security level of 100.

The static command lets users access specifically identified hosts on a single interface. The conduit command identifies the port or ports through which access is permitted.

The sections that follow provide more information on these guidelines.

Higher Security Level to Lower Security Level Access

To let users on each higher security level interface access servers on each lower security level interface, follow these steps:


Step 1 Letting higher security level interface users access a lower security level interface has two components: you use the nat command to specify from where users start connections, and you use the global command to specify to where access is permitted. You associate the nat and global commands together with the NAT ID, which in this example configuration is 1. The nat command lets users start connections from the specified interface to all lower security interfaces, the global command permits access to translated connections from any higher security level interface.

To let users from the inside interface start connections, use:

nat (inside) 1 0 0

Step 2 To let users on the dmz2 interface start connections, use:

nat (dmz2) 1 0 0

Step 3 To let users on the dmz1 interface start connections, use:

nat (dmz1) 1 0 0

Step 4 To permit access to the dmz2 interface for translated connections, use:

global (dmz2) 1 10.2.1.10-10.2.1.254

Step 5 To permit access to the dmz1 interface for translated connections, use:

global (dmz1) 1 10.1.1.10-10.1.1.254

Step 6 To permit access to the outside interface for translated connections, use:

global (outside) 1 204.31.17.10-204.31.17.254

Lower Security Level to Higher Security Level Access

To let users on a lower security level interface access a server on a higher security level interface, use the static and conduit commands. The first IP address in the static command is the address users on the lower security level interface use when they want to access the server on the higher security level interface. The second IP address is the actual address of the server.

When you enter the static command statement in your configuration, always specify the security level of the interfaces as (higher,lower) and the IP addresses as lower and higher; for example:

static (inside,dmz1) 10.1.1.7 10.0.1.2

When users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server, they use IP address 10.1.1.7.

To let users on each lower security level interface access servers on each higher security level interface, follow these steps:


Step 1 To let users on the outside interface access the mail server on the dmz1 interface, use:

static (dmz1,outside) 204.31.17.5 10.1.1.2 
conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.5 eq smtp any

Step 2 To let users on the outside interface access the web server on the dmz2 interface, use:

static (dmz2,outside) 204.31.17.6 10.2.1.2 
conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.6 eq www any

Step 3 To let users on the outside interface access the Telnet server on the inside interface, use:

static (inside,outside) 204.31.17.7 10.0.1.2
conduit permit tcp host 204.31.17.7 eq telnet any

Step 4 To let users on the dmz1 interface access the web server on the dmz interface, use:

static (dmz2,dmz1) 10.1.1.6 10.2.1.2
conduit permit tcp host 10.1.1.6 eq www any

Step 5 To let users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server on the inside interface, use:

static (inside,dmz1) 10.1.1.7 10.0.1.2
conduit permit tcp host 10.1.1.7 eq telnet any

Step 6 To let users on the dmz2 interface access the Telnet server on the inside interface, use:

static (inside,dmz2) 10.2.1.7 10.0.1.2
conduit permit tcp host 10.2.1.7 eq telnet any

All configuration command statements are explained in greater detail in .

Once you sketch out your network and map these steps to your IP addresses and servers, the four-interface configuration can become a simpler task.

IP Addresses for a Configuration with Four Interfaces

The addresses used in this configuration are as follows:

The outside interface: 204.31.17.1 with static global addresses of 204.31.17.5 for the mail server on dmz1, 204.31.17.6 for the web server on dmz2, and 204.31.17.7 for the Telnet server on the inside. In addition, a pool of global addresses is defined as 204.31.17.10-204.31.17.254. A PAT (Port Address Translation) global is provided at 204.31.17.9.

The dmz1 interface: 10.1.1.1 with static global addresses of 10.1.1.6 for the web server on dmz2 and 10.1.1.7 for the Telnet server on the inside. A pool of global addresses is defined as 10.1.1.10-10.1.1.254.

The dmz2 interface: 10.2.1.1 with a static global address of 10.2.1.7 for the Telnet server on the inside and a pool of global addresses of 10.2.1.10-10.2.1.254.

The inside interface: 10.0.1.1.

In addition, static route command statements are required to permit access to the networks that connect to the routers. A static route command statement directs traffic meant for a network to the router on the interface. The format for a static route command is shown in the following example:

route inside 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.3 1

This command statement instructs the PIX Firewall that when a packet needs to be sent to an address in the 10.0.2.0 network, send it to the router on the inside interface at 10.0.1.3.

Because there are routers on the inside, dmz2, and dmz1 interfaces with two networks connecting to each, six static route command statements are required—two for each interface.

Six Interfaces with NAT

In , the PIX Firewall has six interfaces. In this configuration, there is no user authentication and no authorization. NAT (Network Address Translation) is in effect to translate addresses. In this example, users on all interfaces have access to all the servers and hosts on the inside, dmz1, dmz2, dmz3, and dmz4 interfaces can start connections.

This section includes the following topics:

Configuring PIX Firewall for six interfaces is similar to the four interface example except that you have two more interfaces.

Guidelines for a Configuration with Six Interfaces

This section includes the following topics:

Guidelines

Higher Security Level to Lower Security Level Access

Lower Security Level to Higher Security Level Access

Guidelines

The most important guidelines to remember follow:

Higher to lower—To let users on a higher security level interface access hosts on a lower security interface, use the nat and global commands; for example, to let users on the inside interface access the mail server on the dmz2 interface. As seen in , the inside interface has a security level of 100 and the dmz2 interface has a security level of 40.

The nat command lets users access all hosts on all lower security level interfaces. The global command identifies the interface through which the nat access is permitted.

Lower to higher—To let users on a lower security level interface access hosts on a higher security interface, use the static and conduit commands; for example, to let users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server on the dmz2 interface. As seen in , the dmz1 interface has a security level of 20 and the dmz2 interface has a security level of 40.

The static command lets users access specifically identified hosts on a single interface. The conduit command identifies the port or ports through which access is permitted.

The sections that follow provide more information on these guidelines.

Higher Security Level to Lower Security Level Access

To let users on each higher security level interface access servers on each lower security level interface, follow these steps:


Step 1 Letting higher security level interface users access a lower security level interface has two components: you use the nat command to specify from where users start connections, and you use the global command to specify to where access is permitted. You associate the nat and global commands together with the NAT ID, which in this example configuration is 1. The nat command lets users start connections from the specified interface to all lower security interfaces, the global command permits access to translated connections from any higher security level interface.

To let users from the inside interface start connections on the dmz1, dmz2, dmz3, dmz4, and outside interfaces, use:

nat (inside) 1 0 0

To let users on the dmz1 interface start connections on the outside, use:

nat (dmz1) 1 0 0

To let users on the dmz2 interface start connections on the dmz1 and outside interfaces, use:

nat (dmz2) 1 0 0

To let users on the dmz3 interface start connections on the dmz1, dmz2, and outside interfaces, use:

nat (dmz3) 1 0 0

To let users on the dmz4 interface start connections on the dmz1, dmz2, dmz3, and outside interfaces, use:

nat (dmz4) 1 0 0


Step 2 Create global pools for the connections to start on each lower level interface:

To permit access to the outside interface for translated connections from the inside, dmz1, dmz2, dmz3, and dmz4 interfaces, use:

global (outside) 1 192.150.50.10-192.150.50.254

To permit access to the dmz1 interface for translated connections from the inside, dmz2, dmz3, and dmz4 interfaces, use:

global (dmz1) 1 10.1.1.10-10.1.1.254

To permit access to the dmz2 interface for translated connections from the inside, dmz3, and dmz4 interfaces, use:

global (dmz2) 1 10.2.1.10-10.2.1.254

To permit access to the dmz3 interface for translated connections from the inside and dmz4 interfaces, use:

global (dmz3) 1 10.3.1.10-10.3.1.254

Lower Security Level to Higher Security Level Access

To let users on a lower security level interface access a server on a higher security level interface, use the static and conduit commands. The first IP address in the static command is the address users on the lower security level interface use when they want to access the server on the higher security level interface. The second IP address is the actual address of the server.

When you enter the static command statement in your configuration, always specify the security level of the interfaces as (higher,lower) and the IP addresses as lower and higher; for example:

static (inside,dmz1) 10.1.1.7 10.0.1.2

When users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server, they use IP address 10.1.1.7.

To let users on each lower security level interface access servers on each higher security level interface, follow these steps:


Step 1 To let users on the outside interface access the mail server on the dmz1 interface, use:

static (dmz1,outside) 192.150.50.5 10.1.1.2 
conduit permit tcp host 192.150.50.5 eq smtp any

Step 2 To let users on the outside interface access the Telnet server on the dmz2 interface, use:

static (dmz2,outside) 192.150.50.6 10.2.1.2 
conduit permit tcp host 192.150.50.6 eq telnet any

Step 3 To let users on the dmz1 interface access the Telnet server on the dmz2 interface, use:

static (dmz2,dmz1) 10.1.1.7 10.2.1.2
conduit permit tcp host 10.1.1.7 eq telnet any

All configuration command statements are explained in greater detail in .

Once you sketch out your network and map these steps to your IP addresses and servers, the four-interface configuration can become a simpler task.

IP Addresses for a Configuration with Six Interfaces

The addresses used in this configuration are as follows:

The outside interface: 192.150.50.1 with static global addresses of 192.150.50.5 for the mail server on dmz1, 192.150.50.6 for the web server on dmz2, and 192.150.50.7 for the Telnet server on the inside. In addition, a pool of global addresses is defined as 192.150.50.10-192.150.50.254. A PAT (Port Address Translation) global is provided at 192.150.50.9.

The dmz1 interface: 10.1.1.1 with static global addresses of 10.1.1.6 for the Telnet server on dmz2. A pool of global addresses is defined as 10.1.1.10-10.1.1.254.

The dmz2 interface: 10.2.1.1 with a pool of global addresses of 10.2.1.10-10.2.1.254.

The dmz3 interface: 10.3.1.1 with a pool of global addresses of 10.3.1.10-10.3.1.254.

The dmz4 interface: 10.4.1.1 with a pool of global addresses of 10.4.1.10-10.4.1.254.

The inside interface: 10.0.1.1 with a router at 10.0.1.4 and a host at 10.0.1.3.

In addition, static route command statements are required to permit access to the networks that connect to the routers. A static route command statement directs traffic meant for a network to the router on the interface. The format for a static route is shown in the following example:

route inside 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.4 1

This command statement instructs the PIX Firewall that when a packet needs to be sent to an address in the 10.0.2.0 network, send it to the router on the inside interface at 10.0.0.4.

Because there are routers on the inside, dmz1, and dmz4 interfaces with two networks connecting to each, six static route command statements are required—two for each interface.

This lets users outside the network Telnet to the server and then access the PIX Firewall console from the server. This is one method that can be used to troubleshoot or administer a PIX Firewall from a remote location. Use the timeout command feature to let Telnet console sessions stay idle up to 15 minutes before PIX Firewall closes the connection. The default is 5 minutes.

IPSec with Manual Keys

In this example, two PIX Firewall units are used to create a virtual private network (VPN) between the networks on each firewall unit's inside interface. This network is part of an intranet and therefore uses RFC 1918 addressing throughout.

In this example, the VPN is created without the use of IKE or a certificate authority.

Figure 5-8 Two Interfaces for IPSec Access

The interfaces are as follows:

PIX Firewall 1:

inside: 10.1.1.1

outside: 192.168.1.1

PIX Firewall 2:

inside: 10.0.0.1

outside: 192.168.1.100

The topics included in this section are:

VPN Client Access with Manual IP Address and Pre-shared Keys

This section includes the following topics:

Configuring the PIX Firewall for Pre-shared Keys

Configuring the Cisco Secure VPN Client

In this example, the system administrator allocated five IP addresses to be used as virtual (internal addresses) to make security tighter and access lists tight. In this example, the remote user would have to enter the virtual (internal addresses) IP address manually. This example also uses pre-shared keys for IKE authentication (a wild-card pre-shared key).

illustrates the example network:

Figure 5-12 VPN Client Access

for Pre-shared Keys

Configuring the PIX Firewall for Pre-shared Keys

To configure the PIX Firewall to work with the VPN client:


Step 1 Define a host name:

hostname SanJose

Step 2 If you are using CA, define a domain name:

domain-name example.com 

Step 3 Configure a static for VPN users to access the inside server that provides NAT :

	static (inside,outside) 209.165.200.230 10.0.0.14 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0 	

Step 4 Configure the IPSec-supported transforms:

crypto IPSec transform-set strong-des esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

Step 5 Create an access list that defines the virtual IP addresses for remote users:

	access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.1
	access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.2

access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.4
access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.5

These virtual IP addresses will also be manually entered in the client to create a match as described in "Configuring the Cisco Secure VPN Client."

Step 6 Create a dynamic crypto map:

crypto dynamic-map cisco 4 set transform-set strong
crypto dynamic-map cisco 4 match address 80

Step 7 Define a crypto map:

crypto map partner-map 20 IPSec-isakmp dynamic cisco

Step 8 Apply the crypto map to the outside interface:

crypto map partner-map interface outside

Step 9 Configure a wildcard pre-shared key:

isakmp key cisco1234 address 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0

Step 10 Configure the ISAKMP policy:

isakmp enable outside

VPN Client Access with AAA and Pre-shared Keys

This section includes the following topics:

Configuring the PIX Firewall

Configuring the Cisco Secure VPN Client

This example adds AAA authentication and authorization with a pre-shared key for IKE authentication. AAA causes VPN users logging in to be prompted for a username and password. The configuration also contains the ip local pool command, which eliminates the need to hard code the virtual IP addresses. With this command, remote VPN users are dynamically assigned an IP address out of the pool of addresses.

This example has several advantages:

The configuration for every client is the same. Thus the same VPN client policy can be sent to all remote users, which makes the remote installation much easier. You can also lock the policy file so that remote users do not change or corrupt the policy.

Pre-shared keys are used for IKE. This allows the user to pass IKE without the certificate for every user. If certificates are desired for authentication they can be used.

Strong Authentication is used. Every remote user is required to enter a username and password by the AAA server (Cisco Secure ACS for Windows NT) on the perimeter interface. In addition, one-time password products like Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection (ID) can be used.

Password protection/encryption. Note the password is not being sent in the clear. The password is sent after Triple DES tunnel starts and is 168-bit DES encrypted.

This example uses pre-shared keys for IKE authentication (a wildcard, pre-shared key).

illustrates the example network:

Figure 5-13 VPN Client Access

Configuring the PIX Firewall

To configure the PIX Firewall to work with the VPN client:


Step 1 Define a host name:

hostname SanJose

Step 2 If you will use CA, define a domain name:

domain-name example.com 

Step 3 Configure a static for VPN users to access the inside server that provides NAT :

	static (inside,outside) 209.165.200.230 10.0.0.14 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0 	

Step 4 Configure the IPSec-supported transforms:

crypto IPSec transform-set strong-des esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

Step 5 Create an access list that defines the virtual IP addresses for remote users:

	access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.1
	access-list 80 permit ip host 209.165.200.230 host 192.168.15.2

Working with IPSec and NAT on the PIX Firewall

Until the PIX Firewall supports both NAT and IPSec features through the ability to terminate an IPSec tunnel to interfaces other than the outside interface, you need to provide a workaround that is best suited for your needs. This section lists four different setups and configurations with positives and negatives and lets you decide which works best for your needs.


Note   The information in this section provides a workaround for the inability of the PIX Firewall version 5.0 to terminate IPSec on any interface but the outside interface. The next release will permit IPSec to terminate on any interface.


The following assumptions are used in the setups:

IPSec uses wildcard, pre-shared keys for the ISAKMP negotiation.

The PIX Firewall will hand off an address to the VPN client using the ip local pool command and the isakmp client config command.

WINS is used for NETBIOS name IP address resolution. Replacing DNS with WINS also works in the same manner.

You can build a static command statement for the internal device that maintains its original address to the outside. For example, use a command such as the following:

static (inside,outside) 10.32.10.10 10.32.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.255

However this device will never be able to reach the Internet because 10.32.20.20 is not routed on the Internet. So if Internet connectivity is not an issue, feel free to use this approach.

One PIX Firewall and One External WINS Server

illustrates this setup:

Figure 5-14 One PIX Firewall and One External WINS Server

Using an external WINS server, the VPN client can resolve statically-entered NETBIOS names that point to the outside static global IP addresses of the PIX Firewall. You should have the Windows NT domain name and the PDC (Primary Domain Controller) added statically into WINS for Windows NT authentication to resources. The internal WINS server cannot be used because it sends back the 10.32.x.x address. This address is not accessible because there are not global static command statements for a 10.32.x.x address.

lists the positives and negatives of this setup.

Table 5-18 Positives and Negatives of One PIX Firewall and One WINS Server

Positives
Negatives

Only one PIX Firewall is required to terminate the VPN tunnel and control firewall functions.

PIX Firewall static command statements need to be defined for each host that you want VPN clients to reach. This can be very tedious and can take up a lot of public address space.

 

For each PIX Firewall static command statement, there must be a static entry made at the external WINS server.

 

Clients, if connecting to services via IP addresses rather than with a NETBIOS name, need a sheet that shows what are the translated IP addresses; such as that a mail server 10.32.10.10 is known to a VPN client as 209.165.201.10. This may require reconfiguration of the application itself and may differ depending if the client is in the office or on the road.


PIX Firewall Configuration

Table lists the PIX Firewall configuration for this setup.

Table 5-19 PIX Firewall Configuration for One PIX Firewall and One WINS Server Setup

nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

Assign the pool of global addresses and assign a PAT address to handle overflow in case the other IP addresses are used up.

The nat command statement lets all inside hosts start connections on the outside interface.

static (inside,outside) 209.165.201.5 10.32.10.10 
netmask 255.255.255.224 0 0

access-list 80 permit ip 10.32.0.0 255.255.0.0 any
sysopt connection permit-ipsec

The static command statements map outside interface IP addresses to the servers on the inside interface. The access-list command statement lets any outside users access the statics for IP (TCP, UDP, and ICMP). The sysopt command statement specifies that the IPSec static command statements are trusted.

Establish the ISAKMP policy.


Usage Notes

The following notes apply to this setup:

1 The computer running the VPN client needs the WINS server to point to the external WINS server at 209.165.201.1.

2 The VPN client requires multiple security policies so that each policy has a host entry of the device that they need to access, and a policy is not necessary for the external WINS server.

3 The external WINS Server needs static entries for the internal hosts, the mailserver has a static for 209.165.201.5, and the web server has a static for 209.165.201.6.

Parallel PIX Firewall Units without an Internal Router

Using one PIX Firewall unit for VPN and one for firewall functions lets the VPN client see the internal network as though the client were part of the internal office environment. Each device needs to have a static route defined to return the packet on that same path it was received in.

illustrates this setup.

Usage Notes

The following notes apply to this setup:

1 Configure the VPN client with a security policy that protects the 10.32.0.0/16 resources.

2 For other device configurations, give each device that needs Internet connectivity a default route that points to the PIX Firewall at 10.32.120.120.

3 An additional route must be statically added for the 172.16.1.0/24 network that points to the next hop of 10.32.120.121 for each device that the VPN clients needs to communicate with. For example, for a Windows NT Server, specify the static route as follows:

route add -p 172.16.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.32.120.121

Parallel PIX Firewall Units with an Internal Router

A very effective solution that makes the inside network look the same to the VPN client. However, the cost of having another PIX Firewall and router might outweigh the benefits.

Two points of PIX Firewall administration.


This setup uses the same configuration as the previous setup described in:

"PIX Firewall Unit 1 Configuration"

"PIX Firewall Unit 2 for VPN Configuration."

Usage Notes

The following notes apply to this setup:

1 Configure the VPN client with a security policy that protects the 10.32.0.0/16 resources.

2 The default gateway of all VPN clients should point to the IP address of the internal router, which in this example, is 10.32.1.1. The router will then make the decision on where to forward the packets.

3 The internal router at 10.32.1.1 has a default route pointing to the PIX Firewall; in the configuration of the router, use a Cisco IOS command such as the following to point the default gateway of the router to the PIX Firewall:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.32.120.121 

Also in the router, add a static route for VPN traffic; such as the following Cisco IOS command:

ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.32.120.120

Serial PIX Firewall Units

With serial PIX Firewall units, you obtain a modified perimeter section on which you can place other servers. However, you lose the ability to use the AH protocol because the NAT process on the PIX Firewall 1 would break the encryption checksum of the packet. You still have two firewalls to maintain, but at least the VPN client can see the internal network as the 10.32.x.x address space.

illustrates this setup:

Figure 5-17 Serial PIX Firewall Units

lists the positives and negatives of this setup.
