SSH CONFIGURATION

 WHAT IS SSH

SSH OR SECURE SHELL IS A NETWORK COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL THAT ENABLES TWO COMPUTERS TO COMMUNICATE (C.F HTTP OR HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL.

WHICH IS THE PROTOCOL USED TO TRANSFER HYPERTEXT SUCH AS WEB PAGES) AND SHARE DATA.

SSH IS A A PROTOCOL SIMILAR TO THAT OF TALENT. IT'S ALSO USED TO REMOTELY ACCESS THE NETWORK DEVICES.

BUT IT IS MORE SECURE IN COMPARISON TELNET AND PROVIDES A CRYPTOGRAPHIC CONCEPT.

WHAT IS CRYPTOGRAPHY

CRYPTOGRAPHY IS A METHOD OF PROTECTING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE USE OF CODES.

SO THAT ONLY THOSE FOR WHOM THE INFORMATION IS INTENDED CAN READ AND PROCESS IT.

_________________________

REQUIRMENT


1. WHICHEVER DEVICE YOU WANT TO CONFIGURE SSH ON THIS DEVICE.

MUST HAVE AN IP ADDRESS BECAUSE WHEN WE ACCESS THE DEVICE REMOTELY ACCESS THEY WILL DO IT BASED ON THE IP ADDRESS.

2. SSH IS CONFIGURE ON EVERY MODEL OF ROUTER AND SWITCH.

_____________________

CONFIGURATION

FIRST STEP

1. IP ADDRESS CONFIGURE  ON  A ROUTER.

2. SSH CONFIGURE ON ROUTER.

3. REMOTELY ACCESS SSH IN CLIENT PC

SECOND STEP

1. IP ADDRESS CONFIGURE ON SWITCH.

2. SSH CONFIGURE ON SWITCH.

3. REMOTELY ACCESS IN CLIENT LAPTOP.

_______________________


FIRST STEP

IP ADDRESS ON ROUTER 192.168.1.1

CLIENT PC IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.2 
_____________________

ROUTER



GO TO ROUTER CLI INTERFACE AND AFTER THIS CONFIGURATION MODE

IP ADDRESS ASSIGN A ROUTER

router(config)# inter gig0/0
router(config)#  ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
router(config)#  no shutdown

SSH CONFIGURATION

router(config)#   hostname ssh-router
ssh-router(config)#  username manan password 1234
ssh-router(config)#   enable password ccna
ssh-router(config)#   ip domain name corvit
ssh-router(config)#   crypto key generate rsa 1024


The crypto key generate rsa command is used to generate an RSA key pair on a Cisco router. The RSA key pair is used for secure communication, such as SSH and IPsec.

To generate an RSA key pair, you will need to specify the following parameters:

  • Key modulus size: The size of the key modulus in bits. The key modulus size must be in the range of 360 to 2048 bits.
  • Key label: A label for the key pair. The key label is used to identify the key pair when using it for secure communication.

ENABLE SSH COMMAND

ssh-router(config)#  line vty 0 1
ssh-router(config)#  transport input ssh
ssh-router(config)#   login local

GO TO PC AND  ASSIGN A IP ADDRESS AND AFTE THIS CLICK THE "DESKTOP" AFTER THIS CLICK "Telnet / SSH Client"



AFTER THIS "Connection Types" SELECT A "SSH" AND GO TO DOWN BOX

ENTER THIS  ROUTER IP ADDRESS (192.168.1.1) AND GO TO DWON BOX 

ENTER THIS USERNAME OF ROUTER (manan)

SO FINALLY CLICK A "Connect" BUTTON




ENTER THE PASSWORD OF USERNAME (1234)

AFTER THIS ENTER HIS " enable "

ssh-router>enable

ENTER THE ENABL PASSWORD  " ccna  "

Password: ccna

FINALLY REMOTE ACCESS THE ROUTER

 ssh-router#

______________________

STEP 2

CONFIGURE THE IP ADDRESS OF SWITCH IN ROUTER IP ADDRESS RANGE

IP ADDRESS SWITCH IS 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

BUT NOT A SWITCH INTERFACE IP ADDRESS ASSSIGN RATHER ASSIGN A INTER VLAN OF SWITCH ASSIGN IP ADDRESS.


 SWITCH

GO TO SWITCH CLI INTERFACE AND AFTER THIS GO TO CONFIGURATION MODE AND ENTER THS COMMANDS

Switch(config)#inter vlan 1

Switch(config-if)#ip add

Switch(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0

Switch(config-if)#no sh


SSH CONFIGURATION

switch(config)#   hostname switch-ssh
switch-ssh(config)#  username wahab password 6789
switch-ssh(config)#   enable password hanan
switch-ssh(config)#   ip domain name loafology
switch-ssh(config)#   crypto key generate rsa 1024

ENABLE SSH COMMAND

switch-ssh(config)#  line vty 0 3
switch-ssh(config)#  transport input ssh
switch-ssh(config)#   login local

GO TO PC AND  ASSIGN A IP ADDRESS AND AFTE THIS CLICK THE "DESKTOP" AFTER THIS CLICK "Telnet / SSH Client"



AFTER THIS "Connection Types" SELECT A "SSH" AND GO TO DOWN BOX

ENTER THIS  ROUTER IP ADDRESS (192.168.1.5) AND GO TO DWON BOX 

ENTER THIS USERNAME OF ROUTER (wahab)

SO FINALLY CLICK A "Connect" BUTTON



ENTER THE PASSWORD OF USERNAME (6789)

AFTER THIS ENTER HIS " enable "

switch-ssh>enable

ENTER THE ENABL PASSWORD  " hanan  "

Password: hanan

FINALLY REMOTE ACCESS THE SWITCH

switch-ssh#


CONFIGURATION COMPLETED SSH SWITCH AND ROUTER

BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE AP

  BOTH BRIDGE MODE AND NAT MODE ARE WAYS TO CONFIGURE AN ACCESS POINT (AP) TO EXTEND A NETWORK, BUT THEY DIFFER IN HOW THEY HANDLE IP ADDRESSES AND NETWORK TRAFFIC: BRIDGE MODE: CONCEPT: ACTS AS A TRANSPARENT BRIDGE, SIMPLY RELAYING DATA BETWEEN WIRED AND WIRELESS DEVICES. IP ADDRESS: DEVICES OBTAIN THEIR IP ADDRESSES FROM AN UPSTREAM DHCP SERVER, TYPICALLY THE MAIN ROUTER ON THE NETWORK. NETWORK TRAFFIC: ALL DEVICES, BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS, ARE SEEN AS PART OF THE SAME NETWORK AND CAN DIRECTLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. BENEFITS: SEAMLESS ROAMING: DEVICES CAN EFFORTLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN APS WITHOUT LOSING THEIR IP ADDRESS OR CONNECTION. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK MANAGEMENT: ALL DEVICES ARE ON THE SAME SUBNET, MAKING CONFIGURATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING EASIER. INCREASED COMPATIBILITY: WORKS WITH DEVICES THAT DON'T SUPPORT NAT TRAVERSAL (E.G., SOME VPN CLIENTS). DRAWBACKS: LESS SECURITY : ALL DEVICES ARE DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO EACH OTHER, POTENTIALLY INCREAS

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once.

VSC (Virtual Cluster Switching)

  VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING (VCS): THIS IS A PROPRIETARY NETWORK FABRIC TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED BY BROCADE, LATER ACQUIRED BY EXTREME NETWORKS. IT ALLOWS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL SWITCHES TO BE COMBINED AND MANAGED AS A SINGLE LOGICAL UNIT, OFFERING SEVERAL BENEFITS: SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT: MANAGE THE ENTIRE VCS AS ONE ENTITY, REDUCING CONFIGURATION OVERHEAD AND TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLEXITY. INCREASED PORT DENSITY: COMBINE PORTS FROM MULTIPLE SWITCHES TO CREATE A LARGER POOL OF AVAILABLE CONNECTIONS. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE:   ENHANCE LINK UTILIZATION AND LOAD BALANCING ACROSS MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LINKS, REDUCING BOTTLENECKS. ENHANCED REDUNDANCY:   PROVIDES FAILOVER PROTECTION IN CASE OF A SWITCH FAILURE. TRAFFIC WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REROUTED TO OTHER SWITCHES WITHIN THE VCS. SIMPLIFIED NETWORK TOPOLOGY: ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR COMPLEX LINK AGGREGATION OR SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP) CONFIGURATIONS. _________ VCS, OR VIRTUAL CLUSTER SWITCHING, CAN OPERATE IN DIFFERENT MODES DEPENDI
