1.1 An example of a portable storage device.

A portable storage device is a type of external device that allows you to store and transfer
data from one device to another. These small devices are often used to store and transfer
digital files between computers, and are designed to be easily transportable due to their
compact size and lack of moving parts. One example of a portable storage device is a USB
flash drive. USB flash drives typically connect to a computer's USB port and can store
anywhere from a few hundred megabytes to several terabytes of data, depending on the
device's capacity. They are commonly used for backup and storage purposes, as well as for
transferring files between different devices or locations. Other examples of portable storage
devices include external hard drives, memory cards, and solid-state drives (SSDs).

1.2 Four types of storage devices

Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) These are mechanical devices that use spinning disks to store
and retrieve data. They have been the primary type of storage
device for many years and are commonly found in desktops,
laptops, and servers. HDDs have large storage capacities and
are relatively inexpensive.

Solid State Drives (SSDs) These are non-mechanical storage devices that use flash
memory to store data. They are faster and more durable than
HDDs but typically have lower storage capacities and are
more expensive. SSDs are commonly found in laptops and
tablets, and are becoming more common in desktops and
servers.

Optical Drives These are storage devices that use laser technology to read and
write data on optical discs, such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray
discs. Optical drives are becoming less common due to the
increasing popularity of digital media and cloud storage.

USB Flash Drives These are small, portable storage devices that use flash

Difference between standard and extended ACL


Standard and extended Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used in network security to control
traffic flow between networks or hosts by filtering packets based on specific criteria such as
source or destination IP address, protocol, or port number.

Standard ACLs only filter Criteria Extended ACLs can filter


traffic based on the source traffic based on multiple
IP address of the packets criteria such as source and
destination IP addresses,
protocol, port numbers, and
other packet characteristics

Standard ACLs are typically Placement Extended ACLs are placed


placed at the edge of the deeper in the network, closer
network, on the router to the destination network or
closest to the source network host.

Standard ACLs are Processing Extended ACL rules are not


processed before extended evaluated. If a packet does
ACLs, so if a packet not match any of the
matches a standard ACL standard ACL rules, it is
rule, it is blocked or allowed evaluated against the
based on that rule extended ACL rules

Standard ACLs are more Efficiency Extended ACLs evaluate


efficient than extended multiple criteria, which can
ACLs since they evaluate slow down the packet
only the source IP address of processing and forwarding
the packets
NAME: OOI XIN YIN
IC: 010104-08-0818
DATE:

1.1 Standard ACLs?

Standard Access Control Lists (ACLs) are used in network security to filter traffic based on
the source IP address of packets. Standard ACLs are numbered from 1 to 99 and 1300 to
1999 in Cisco routers, and they can be applied to a router interface or a specific direction
(inbound or outbound) on the interface. Standard ACLs evaluate the source IP address of
packets and either permit or deny them based on the configured rules. For example, a
standard ACL can be configured to permit traffic from a specific source IP address and deny
traffic from all other sources. Standard ACLs are useful for basic traffic filtering and can be
used to block unwanted traffic from known sources or to permit traffic from specific hosts or
networks. They are typically applied at the edge of the network, on the router closest to the
source network. However, one limitation of standard ACLs is that they do not provide
granular control over traffic flow since they only filter based on the source IP address. Also,
since standard ACLs are evaluated before other types of ACLs, they can impact overall
network performance if they are not carefully configured.

1.2 How Do You Configure Standard ACLs?

1. Access the router: Connect to the router's console port or use a Telnet or SSH
connection.
2. Enter configuration mode: Enter privileged EXEC mode by typing "enable" and then
enter global configuration mode by typing "configure terminal".
3. Create an ACL: Use the "access-list" command followed by the ACL number to
create the ACL. For example, to create a standard ACL with the number 10, type
"access-list 10".
4. Configure the rule: After creating the ACL, use the "permit" or "deny" command
followed by the source IP address or network to configure the rule. For example, to
permit traffic from the IP address 192.168.1.1, type "permit 192.168.1.1". To deny
traffic from the IP address 192.168.2.1, type "deny 192.168.2.1".
5. Apply the ACL: Apply the ACL to a router interface or a specific direction (inbound
or outbound) on the interface using the "ip access-group" command followed by the
ACL number and the interface and direction keywords. For example, to apply ACL
10 to the inbound direction of interface Ethernet0/0, type "ip access-group 10 in
interface Ethernet0/0".
6. Save the configuration: Save the configuration changes using the "copy
running-config startup-config" command.
1.3 List the types of ACLs?

There are two main types of Access Control Lists (ACLs) used in network security:

Standard ACLs: Standard ACLs are used to filter traffic based on the source IP address of
packets. They are numbered from 1 to 99 and 1300 to 1999 in Cisco routers and can be
applied to a router interface or a specific direction (inbound or outbound) on the interface.

Extended ACLs: Extended ACLs are used to filter traffic based on multiple criteria, including
source and destination IP addresses, protocol type, port numbers, and other packet
characteristics. They are numbered from 100 to 199 and 2000 to 2699 in Cisco routers and
can also be applied to a router interface or a specific direction on the interface.

Additionally, there are a few other types of ACLs that are less commonly used:

Named ACLs: Named ACLs are similar to standard and extended ACLs but are identified by
a name rather than a number. They provide a more user-friendly way to manage ACLs than
numbered ACLs.

Reflexive ACLs: Reflexive ACLs are used to dynamically permit traffic that originates from
inside the network and that is in response to traffic initiated from outside the network.

Dynamic ACLs: Dynamic ACLs are used to grant access to a network resource for a limited
time period or until a specific condition is met. They are often used in remote access
scenarios.

1.3 List the types of vty?

In a Cisco IOS-based networking device, VTY (Virtual Teletype) lines are used to provide
remote access to the device through Telnet or SSH connections. The number of VTY lines
available on a device varies depending on the model and configuration of the device. Here are
the different types of VTY lines:

VTY 0: This is the primary VTY line used for remote console access to the device. It is often
used for initial device configuration and troubleshooting.

VTY 1 to 4: These are additional VTY lines that can be used for remote access to the device.
The number of available VTY lines depends on the device model and configuration.

Auxiliary (Aux) port: The auxiliary port is a physical port on the device that can be used for
remote access. It is often used for out-of-band management and backup access to the device.

a. Determine Which Interfaces have ACLs?

Show interfaces: Use the "show interfaces" command to display a list of all interfaces on the
device. This command will display information about each interface, including the interface
name and status.

Show running-config: Use the "show running-config" command to display the device's
current configuration. This command will show all configurations, including the ones applied
to interfaces.

Find ACLs applied to interfaces: Look for ACLs applied to interfaces in the output of the
"show running-config" command. You can identify ACLs by their name or number. ACLs
applied to an interface will be listed under that interface's configuration.

Show ACLs: If you have identified an ACL applied to an interface, you can use the "show
access-list" command followed by the ACL name or number to display the ACL's
configuration.

By using these commands, you can determine which interfaces have ACLs applied to them
and view the configuration of those ACLs. This can be helpful when troubleshooting network
connectivity issues or verifying the security of the device.
b. Determine which ACL Statements are Affecting Traffic?

Identify the ACL: Identify the ACL that is applied to the interface in question. You can do
this by using the "show running-config" command and looking for the interface
configuration. The ACL will be listed under the interface configuration.

View the ACL: Use the "show access-list" command followed by the ACL name or number
to view the ACL's configuration.

Analyze the ACL: Analyze the ACL configuration to determine which statements are
affecting traffic. Each statement in the ACL has a unique line number. You can use the "show
access-list" command followed by the ACL name or number and the specific line number to
view the configuration of a particular statement.

Use show commands: Use the "show interfaces" and "show ip interface" commands to view
information about the interface and its traffic. You can use this information to determine
whether traffic is being allowed or denied based on the ACL configuration.

Use debug commands: Use debug commands, such as "debug ip packet" or "debug
access-list", to view real-time information about traffic passing through the interface. This
can help you to identify which statements in the ACL are affecting traffic.

c. Analyze the ACLs to Match Traffic?


Identify the ACL: Identify the ACL that is applied to the interface in question. You can do
this by using the "show running-config" command and looking for the interface
configuration. The ACL will be listed under the interface configuration.

View the ACL: Use the "show access-list" command followed by the ACL name or number
to view the ACL's configuration.

Understand the ACL statements: Each statement in the ACL has a unique line number and is
comprised of various components that determine whether traffic is allowed or denied. These
components can include source and destination addresses, protocol types, port numbers, and
other criteria.

Analyze the traffic: Analyze the traffic that you want to match against the ACL. This can
include identifying the source and destination addresses, protocol types, and port numbers
used by the traffic.

Match the traffic: Use the ACL configuration to match the traffic. Each statement in the ACL
will be evaluated in order, and traffic will be allowed or denied based on whether it matches
the criteria specified in each statement. You can use the "match" and "permit" or "deny"
keywords to define the criteria for each statement in the ACL.

Verify the ACL: Verify that the ACL is matching traffic as expected by using the "show
access-list" command and viewing the statistics for each statement. You can also use the
"show interfaces" and "show ip interface" commands to view information about the interface
and its traffic, and the "debug ip packet" command to view real-time information about traffic
passing through the interface.

d. Facts to remember about ACLs?


Access Control Lists (ACLs) are an important security feature used in network devices such
as routers, switches, and firewalls. Here are some key facts to remember about ACLs:

ACLs are used to control traffic flow: ACLs are used to filter traffic passing through a
network device. They can be used to permit or deny traffic based on various criteria such as
source and destination IP addresses, protocol types, and port numbers.

ACLs are evaluated in order: ACLs are evaluated in order, from top to bottom. When a match
is found, the associated action (permit or deny) is taken and no further evaluation is
performed.

Explain what is a hardware firewall

A hardware firewall is a type of network security device that is physically installed in a


network and operates at the hardware level to protect the network from external threats. It is a
standalone device that sits between a network and the Internet, acting as a gateway to monitor
and control incoming and outgoing traffic.

Unlike software firewalls that run on individual computers, a hardware firewall is designed to
provide centralized protection for an entire network. It is typically placed at the perimeter of a
network and is responsible for filtering traffic based on a set of predefined rules.

Hardware firewalls use dedicated hardware components such as specialized processors and
memory to provide fast and efficient traffic filtering. They typically have multiple network
interfaces that allow them to connect to different network segments and support various types
of network protocols.

What is a next-generation firewall

A next-generation firewall (NGFW) is a type of network security device that combines


traditional firewall functionality with advanced features such as application-level inspection,
intrusion prevention, and user and group-based policies. NGFWs use deep packet inspection
(DPI) technology to identify and classify traffic based on application, user, and content, and
can block or allow traffic based on specific policies.

NGFWs are designed to provide more granular control and visibility over network traffic
compared to traditional firewalls. They can identify and control specific applications and
features within applications, such as social media or file sharing, and can apply policies based
on user identity or group membership.

NGFWs also have the ability to detect and prevent advanced threats such as zero-day attacks,
botnets, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). They can inspect traffic at multiple layers of
the network stack, including the application layer, to identify and block malicious traffic.

Overall, NGFWs provide a higher level of security and control over network traffic compared
to traditional firewalls. They are an essential component of a comprehensive network security
strategy, particularly for organizations that need to manage and secure complex networks
with multiple applications and users.

Process evaluation is used to “measure the activities of the program, program quality, and
whom it is reaching.Process evaluation, as outlined by have and colleagues will help answer
questions about your program such as:

• Has the project reached the target group?


• Are all project activities reaching all parts of the target group?
• Are participants and other key stakeholders satisfied with all aspects of the project?
• Are all activities being implemented as intended? If not, why?
• What if any changes have been made to intended activities?
• Are all materials, information and presentations suitable for the target audience?

Process evaluation is a type of evaluation that is used to assess how well a program is being
implemented and whether it is meeting its goals. It focuses on the activities of the program
and the quality of those activities, as well as who is being reached by the program.

Process evaluation can help answer important questions about a program, such as those listed
above. By collecting data on the implementation of the program, including who is
participating, how the activities are being carried out, and whether the materials and
presentations are suitable for the target audience, program managers can identify areas of
strength and weakness and make adjustments to improve the program's effectiveness. This
type of evaluation can be particularly useful in the early stages of program development, as it
allows managers to identify problems and make changes before the program is fully
implemented.
Outcome evaluation is concerned with the long-term effects of the program and is generally
used to measure the program goal. Consequently, outcome evaluation measures how well the
program's goal has been achieved. Outcome evaluation will help answer
questions such as:

• Has the overall program goal been achieved?


• What, if any factors outside the program have contributed or hindered the desired change?
• What, if any unintended change has occurred as a result of the Program?

Outcome evaluation is a type of evaluation that is used to assess the long-term effects of a
program and whether it has achieved its intended goals. This type of evaluation is generally
conducted after the program has been implemented and focuses on the outcomes or results of
the program.

Outcome evaluation can help answer important questions about a program, such as those
listed above. By measuring the overall goal of the program and identifying factors that may
have contributed to or hindered the desired change, program managers can gain insights into
the program's effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. Additionally, outcome
evaluation can help identify unintended changes or outcomes that may have occurred as a
result of the program, which can provide valuable information for future program planning
and development.
