Command Authorization; Protection From Tcp Tiny And Overlapping Fragment Attacks; Enabling Scp And Ssh - Dell S6100 Configuration Manual

To view the TACACS+ configuration, use the show running-config tacacs+ command in EXEC Privilege mode.
To delete a TACACS+ server host, use the no tacacs-server host {hostname | ip-address} command.

Command Authorization

The AAA command authorization feature configures Dell Networking OS to send each configuration command to a TACACS server for
authorization before it is added to the running configuration.
By default, the AAA authorization commands configure the system to check both EXEC mode and CONFIGURATION mode commands.
Use the no aaa authorization config-commands command to enable only EXEC mode command checking.
If rejected by the AAA server, the command is not added to the running config, and a message displays:
04:07:48: %RPM0-P:CP %SEC-3-SEC_AUTHORIZATION_FAIL: Authorization failure Command
authorization failed for user (denyall) on vty0 ( 10.11.9.209 )
Certain TACACS+ servers do not authenticate the device if you use the aaa authorization commands level default local
tacacs+ command. To resolve the issue, use the aaa authorization commands level default tacacs+ local
command.
Protection from TCP Tiny and Overlapping Fragment
Attacks
Tiny and overlapping fragment attack is a class of attack where configured ACL entries — denying TCP port-specific traffic — is bypassed
and traffic is sent to its destination although denied by the ACL.
RFC 1858 and 3128 proposes a countermeasure to the problem. This countermeasure is configured into the line cards and enabled by
default.

Enabling SCP and SSH

Secure shell (SSH) is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network. Dell Networking OS
is compatible with SSH versions 1.5 and 2, in both the client and server modes. SSH sessions are encrypted and use authentication. SSH is
enabled by default.
For details about the command syntax, refer to the Security chapter in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Interface Reference Guide.
Dell Networking OS SCP, which is a remote file copy program that works with SSH.
NOTE: The Windows-based WinSCP client software is not supported for secure copying between a PC and a Dell Networking
OS-based system. Unix-based SCP client software is supported.
To use the SSH client, use the following command.
• Open an SSH connection and specify the hostname, username, port number,encryption cipher,HMAC algorithm and version of the SSH
client.
