VLAN on a Cisco 3750 G

A VLAN is created on a Cisco 3750 G with the last IOS a 'good' way to secure a vmware network?  In this case, I'm hiding vmotion traffic, and the entire network is behind a firewall.  I realize, it would be better to have dedicated and isolated switch, but it's a VLAN on a reliable and secure Cisco switch? Or safety lies elsewhere, for example, encrypt the vmotion traffic or ACL solid?

Sly-

I think you got it nailed in your post there are some things you need to do when using VLANs to avoid trouble. The vulnerability referred to as Tom has to do with IOS/CatOS decoding of the VTP frames - just like we see in the Windows RPC/NetbIOS or SMB/CIFS vulnerabilities or other remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, it is possible to design a framework with malicious content that could overflow a buffer, string handling (uncommitted entry), double - frees, etc.. This type of vulns found often by "fuzzing" where you create bad images or images partially wrong and feed them in the unit under test, in the hope of finding an accident or create a denial of service. I remember simple tools like CITI (IP Stack Integrity Checker) to validate the equipment running and occasionally would cause you a switch to plant, especially the more IOS. So it is not limited to any control plane protocols such as VTP, this can also happen in the data plan. The data plan is much more robust because it is attack surface area is much more exposed to attacks that the protocols as VTP and a large number of problems have been corrected. If you look back in history, there are tons of questions of security in the Cisco data plan and other gear in less used features as options of ownership intellectual, management, the fragment of the types and codes rarely used ICMP, TCP sequence overflows. Now, I bet that if the security research community concentrated early protocols such as CDP, VTP and STP - you would have seen several vulnerabilities earlier.

So to say "don't use VLANs otherwise, you are vulnerable due to a VTP vulnerability" is equivalent to say do not run IP using Cisco routers/switches when both IP and ICMP vulnerabilities exist in the data plan.

Now, if you had followed that Cisco and other L2 switches providers recommend, you could be not to expose your VTP domain for such attacks and therefore, you are not vulnerable. Just as you would not expose your switches to receive Spanning Tree BPDU or dynamic routing of packets of protocol like OSPF, ISIS, or BGP of unapproved of speakers. Take a look at a blog I posted w/r/t this topic:

http://blogs.VMware.com/Networking/2009/06/lets-talk-security-DMZs-VLANs-and-L2-attacks.html

There is a lot of fear in the community about the attacks of L2, because networks and network devices are often a mystery to people server and a bad configuration L2 could be a source of security and stability problems. It is important to educate the community on the possible exposures, and VMware and other leaders of the market as Cisco take the responsibility to do.

Disclosure on my part - I'm talking to and had operational experience of implementation and now one of the largest networks of data center global worldwide (Global Crossing/GlobalCenter-> later became the exodus-> Savvis) as one of network engineers senior and even 10 years back we would have data center with massive switch of the fabric that the guests accommodated like Yahoo , Ask Jeeves, etc. - isolated and segmented using VLANS. If you go in a large data center hosted today, you certainly would not get your own physical switch and backbone uplink - you would like to share a 6500, a foundry for 100 + often other customers or the great extreme.

  • Newbie connection DELL 6248 pile to pile of CISCO 3750

    Hi all

    I need to extend the desktop LAN by connecting a battery of CISCO 3750 existing a new pile of DELL 6248.

    I intend to use the fiber/combo harbour in DELL 6248 to connect to the CISCO uplink port.

    I want to use DELL port 48 but I saw there was 1/g48 and 1/xg48.  From memory, they are mutually exclusive.

    Q1.  That means I'll just set up 1/g48 and do not enter the config of 1/xg48 of the sentence?

    Q2.  To connect together the 2 batteries, devrais I defined just two ports to connect as a trunk port?  I have no experience in doing so.  FOR INFO.  We already use VLAN in piles CISCO and so the new DELL batteries must know about it.

    Any help will be very appreciated!

    Combo ports have a combined input and output of the PHY chip. Only the optical port or RJ-45 port can be used individually, but not at the same time. Any cable is connected will first use the port PHY. If the Ethernet port is used, you will configure with 1/g48, if fiber port is used then set up uses 1 / x 48.

    Yes, you are right, a network connection is what you want between the two battery. Commands on the switch PowerConnect looks like this.

    Console > activate

    Console # config

    Console (config) # interface ethernet 1/g48

    console switchport mode trunk #.

    console # permit trunk switchport vlan add 2,3,4,5

    On the PowerConnect 62xx switches, you must use general mode if you want to allow traffic from management on the switch on the PVID.  If you use the Trunk mode, you will not have the default VLAN on these ports.  The ports will only allow labeled traffic. So if the Trunk mode does not you, then switch to general mode.

    As the pile of Cisco has already VLAN on it, we must ensure to the PowerConnect switch has those same VLAN. Here is an example of creating a VLAN on the PowerConnect switch.

    Console > activate

    Console # config

    Console (config) # vlan database

    VLAN console(config-VLAN) # 2

    output console(config-VLAN) #.

    Console (config) # interface vlan 2

    Console # name Marketing

    Console # end

    Another thing you may perform is place a static route to help the traffic at the back of the battery.

    IP route {network} {mask with joker} {Next Hop-IP}

    Console # config

    Console (config) # ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.0.2

    Console (config) # end

    I hope this info helps,

    Thank you.

  • CISCO 3750: OSPF interface IP unnumbered

    Hi Expert,

    This is the first time that I'm working on OSPF and IP Unnumbered interfaces.

    My task is to adjacencies OSPF put forward two switches CISCO 3750 connected back-to-back by IP of interfaces not numbered. I use the loopback interface to borrow the IP addresses for the interfaces not numbered on both CISCO switches. After trying so many times, OSPF is not at all to come through Unnumbered interfaces but when tried with numbered interface was fine.

    I'm pasting here complete running-config. Please help me to solve the problem:

  • VDS and Cisco 3750 - PVLANS

    I was not able to get the VDS to talk to the physical switch (Cisco 3750 running IOS 12.2 (53) SE). I tried many different configurations. Can what comments you make on how to get this working. Here are 3 different configurations I tried:

    Installation: I have 3 servers vSphere4 attached through 2 connections each to a Cisco3750. I created a dvSwitch and added the VLAN (100) primary and selected secondary 101 of VLAN (isolated) and the secondary VLAN 102 (community). Communication on the PVLANS work in the ESX servers as they are supposed to, but I can not connect on these PVLANS Cisco switch.

    The 3750 is in talks with the firewall on vlan 100, but will not speak for here ESX Servers configurations I tried and all have failed. What I am doing wrong?

    What I've found, is that Cisco 3750 s are PVLAN informed, but do not support promiscuous chutes for the ESX servers. Only the 4500, 4900 and 6500 s have the possibility of doing circuits PVLAN promiscuity due to their hardware ASICs.

  • Issue of Telnet and SSH on Cisco 3750.

    I turn on Cisco 3750 and everything so I wasn't able to connect in the area. I even changed the source interface and update transport under the VTY lines input method, no luck.

    Can I choose to disable SSH by removing the corresponding lines of configs and RSA keys. And I changed the entry to transport back to Telnet. After the reboot of the switch, I'm still not able to connect despite the fact that the box is accessible.

  • Drops of output on Cisco 3750

    Hi all

    I could really do with help with my Cisco 3750 X; Basically, I use the 3750 as a dedicated iSCSI switch which is connected to 3 Hyper-V servers via 1 GB (each server Hyper-V a 4x1Go connections) and it is also a hybrid storage device connected to the switch using 10 GB SFP +.

    Interfaces 1 GB I see quite a few drops of output, but on 10 GB interfaces, I do not see drops of output.  I really need to find what causes the output drops, and how I can solve this problem.

    That's what I've configured on the switch:

    • Extended on a MTU of 9000 frames
    • Control flow receive desired is on all interfaces
    • Quality of service has been disabled (see issues prior to allowing QoS)
    • Spanning-Tree Portfast enabled on all interfaces

    I also downloaded the release of some show commands that should help out if all goes well (let me know if there are other commands you want to start).

    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give.

    You probably are bumping within the buffer of the 3750 X series.

    You could update your IOS to the liberation of SE8, doubt that will help you in this case.

    The only thing that could mitigate your drops is active flow control, although this can cause latency.

    PS:

    Jumbo Ethernet deactivation may decrease drops too, if it slows down the effective data transfer rate.

  • Cisco 3750 X - 24 Port stacked: support VRF?

    Hello community,

    We have 2 x switch WS-C3750X-24 t-S that are stacked through StackWise cables.  We would like to activate VRF on it, but orders aren't there. We currently have a basic IP license (which I know is the reason). I tried to do some research and looking at the release notes, but the answer is not clear. I read that it is only available as a stand-alone and not stacked switch. Is - anyone out there know if this device is capable of making the VRF as a battery? If so, what are the requirements?

    Thank you

  • the need to increase the speed of the network on my vpshere 4.1 with cisco 3750

    Hello

    Must I increase now my network speed on my esxi vpshere 4.1 my switch cisco 3750.  the rdp on the erp application is now affected with speed.  What would be the best solution on this?  each host on my vpshere have two NICs for the network of the vm and vmotion.  each network adapter is 1 G and cisco 3750 is the bandwidth of 1 G.

    Add multiple NICs for vmotion separated and the vm network?  do all the network adapters in vm network stuck for a bandwidth of submission?  or do I just have to prioritize the rdp session in my cisco switch?  or all will help?

    help please, thank you.

    It is recommended to separate management, vmotion, storage and LAN VM traffic from each other (or in the case of 10 G, use QOS at the rate limit and separate each type of traffic...

    On a standard server with 50 or so VM on it, double 1Gbit nic is much band bandwidth for traffic of vm... and actually on the blades, I saw 2x1GB nic handle all traffic very well...

    RDP uses about 121kbits/s of traffic per session rdp (on average)... I highly doubt that the speed of ar causing you performance issues your card network interface, but you should easily be able to tell if you are having problems of saturation of the network with a simple PRTG, MRTG or solarwinds type of surveillance.

  • ESX 3.5, iSCSI and Cisco 3750

    I have a pretty basic or newly created three ESX environment 3.5 servers, switches from NetApp for storage and a battery (two) of Cisco 3750.

    IM using for my data vmfs iSCSI store and will only run about 15-20 VM at best. This isn't a great environment but I want to plan for future growth and I won't get a second chance to get the stack of 3750 correct configuration.

    I have 2 GB ethernet by the host to the storage and 4 GB of my NAS ethernet ports all converge on the stack of Cisco.

    Can someone point me to a cisco config guide or the white paper which can guide me for the installation to take advantage of the cross battery etherchannel and balancing of load on the side of esx?

    Suggestions?

    Experiences?

    Advice?

    Much appreciated in advance.

  • Reserved Vlan ID in Cisco UCS

    I understand that to be true with Cisco UCS platform:

    "you cannot create a VLAN with ID from 3968 to 4047. This VLAN ID range is reserved. »

    I have a private network 172.16.x.x North on my network is in the vlan what ID 4001, I wanted to present this southbound on NGC.  Maybe it's a stupid question but the only way to be arounf to change the Vlan ID to the one who is sitting in the pool of UCS Vlan IDS that are allowed?

  • 2 GB Cisco EtherChannel Cisco 3750 x 2960S

    Hello

    Im trying to configure an EtherChannel between my stack of 3750 and my stack of 2960S.

    I have 2 3750 x in the form of battery. (2 switches).

    I have 4 2960 s in the form of battery. (4 switches).

    I need to create a channel of 2 GB between them. My heart is the 3750 and my stack of 4 2960 s is on another floor, so I want to create a channel of 2 GB between them.

    I know that you can create a PO between them, but what I want to do is to create a channel of 2 GB between them that run at the same time, active on both ports of 1 GB.

    Is this possible and how? This is my current setup until now:

    Thank you...

    Not possible AFAIK.
    LACP will provide examples of the use of load balancing and redundancy that is good enough for most.
    Other then that you would have to watch the 10GB uplinks between switches for more bandwidth.

  • VLAN in two Cisco routers

    Guys,

    A pleasant day!

    We have two ISP in our society. Each has a Cisco router as a bridge. I think that if it is possible to create VLANs in these two routers.

    Let's say I VLAN100 in ROUTER1 (192.168.100.253) and VLAN200 in ROUTER2 (192.168.100.254). Is there a conflict in the network?

    I have observed that, once that I have create a VLAN in a router, it will be automatically its internet access path.

    Enjoy an idea about it. Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    You can put the routers in different VLANS. On connect it directly the switch (assuming that you have just 2 VLAN), put the ROUTER1 is vlan 100 and ROUTER2 in vlan 200. You can then choose which ISP you want computers out by what vlan put you in. If you want the computers to talk to each other, you cannot superimpose the address however ranges.

    Another option would be to have all you computer gateway to ROUTER1 and then configure Policy Based Routing to redirect traffic to the other router. It should look like this:

    ispselect extended IP access list

    permit ip host Computer2_IP all

    route allowed isp2 10 map

    ispselect match ip address

    set the default ip next hop 192.168.100.254

    This applies to the inside interface of ROUTER1

    political intellectual property map route isp2

    In this configuration, you would be able to leave everything in the same network without having to statically vlan PCs.

  • 802 switch Cisco 3750. 1 x: how to stop a retry of authentication for clients that are not authorized

    Hi experts,

    I'm trying to stop trying to authenticate for the guests. They will not have the credentials to be authorzied and we'll put in the guest VLAN. However, the switch always seems to default retries the authentication every 15 seconds approximately. It is fine if the guests are rare, but I'm being implemented in a hotel where most of the users are invited (like 1000 of them at the same time...).

    I really need to turn off the coast or at least find a timer to reduce the frequency... It is urgent, because the hotel is about to open... Here is the config I put on an interface:

    switchport access vlan 1055
    switchport mode access
    switchport nonegotiate
    switchport voice vlan 657
    IP access-group ACL_PortIso_IDF21 in
    authentication event failure action allow vlan 1055
    no response from the authentication event action allow vlan 1055
    multi-domain of host-mode authentication
    Auto control of the port of authentication
    protect the violation of authentication
    MAB
    no link-status of snmp trap
    dot1x EAP authenticator
    dot1x quiet-time 300
    dot1x tx-timeout 2
    dot1x timeout supp-timeout 2
    dot1x max-reauth-req 10
    dot1x timeout that outfit-300
    No cdp enable
    spanning tree portfast
    spanning tree enable bpduguard
    no ip igmp snooping tcn flood

    Thank you!

    I guess what is happening.

    dot1x in your configuration falls down after tx-period (max-reauth-req + 1) X that for you 22 seconds.

    AUTH MGR (the software that controls (dot1x / MAB / webauth) is probably set to restart every 60 seconds.)

    You can check this with:

    ' performance show all | b X / Y'-replace x / y with the correct port you are testing with.

    Look for the command 'restart timer authentication 60'.

    Try setting it to 0. If IOS doesn't let you change it, thanks for posting your version of the software.
