Security Overview Precedence of Security Options Precedence of Security Options This section explains how port-based security options, and client-based attributes used for authentication, get prioritized on the switch. Precedence of Port-Based Security Options Where the switch is running multiple security options, it implements network traffic security based on the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection model) precedence of the individual options, from the lowest to the highest.
Security Overview Precedence of Security Options value applied to a client session is determined in the following order (from highest to lowest priority) in which a value configured with a higher priority overrides a value configured with a lower priority: 1. Attribute profiles applied through the Network Immunity network-man...
Security Overview Precedence of Security Options The profile of attributes applied for each client (MAC address) session is stored in the hpicfUsrProfile MIB, which serves as the configuration interface for Network Immunity Manager. A client profile consists of NIM-configured, RADIUS-assigned, and statically configured parameters. Using show commands for 802.1X, web or MAC authentication, you can verify which RADIUS -assigned and statically configured parameters are supported and if they are supported on a per-port or per-client basis.
Page 48
Security Overview Precedence of Security Options Client-specific configurations are applied on a per-parameter basis on a port. In a client-specific profile, if DCA detects that a parameter has configured values from two or more levels in the hierarchy of precedence described above, DCA decides which parameters to add or remove, or whether to fail the authentication attempt due to an inability to apply the parameters.
Security Overview ProCurve Identity-Driven Manager (IDM) ProCurve Identity-Driven Manager (IDM) IDM is a plug-in to ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+) and uses RADIUS-based technologies to create a user-centric approach to network access management and network activity tracking and monitoring. IDM enables control of access security policy from a central management server, with policy enforcement to the network edge, and protection against both external and internal threats.

Web and MAC Authentication Overview In the login page, a client enters a username and password, which the ■ switch forwards to a RADIUS server for authentication. After authen ticating a client, the switch grants access to the secured network. Besides a web browser, the client needs no special supplicant soft...
Web and MAC Authentication Overview Each new Web/MAC Auth client always initiates a MAC authentica ■ tion attempt. This same client can also initiate Web authentication at any time before the MAC authentication succeeds. If either authenti cation succeeds then the other authentication (if in progress) is ended.
Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate clients by using an “unauthorized” VLAN for each session. The unauthorized VLAN ID assignment can be the same for all ports, or different, depending on the services and access you plan to allow for unauthenticated clients. You configure access to an optional, unauthorized VLAN when you configure Web and MAC authentication on a port.
Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate Web-based Authentication When a client connects to a Web-Auth enabled port, communication is redi rected to the switch. A temporary IP address is assigned by the switch and a login screen is presented for the client to enter their username and password. The default User Login screen is shown in Figure 3-1.
Page 92
Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate If the client is authenticated and the maximum number of clients allowed on the port (client-limit) has not been reached, the port is assigned to a static, untagged VLAN for network access. After a successful login, a client may be redirected to a URL if you specify a URL value (redirect-url) when you configure web authentication.
Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate A client may not be authenticated due to invalid credentials or a RADIUS server timeout. The max-retries parameter specifies how many times a client may enter their credentials before authentication fails. The server-timeout parameter sets how long the switch waits to receive a response from the RADIUS server before timing out.
Page 94
Web and MAC Authentication How Web and MAC Authentication Operate The assigned port VLAN remains in place until the session ends. Clients may be forced to reauthenticate after a fixed period of time (reauth-period) or at any time during a session (reauthenticate). An implicit logoff period can be set if there is no activity from the client after a given amount of time (logoff-period).
Web and MAC Authentication Terminology Terminology Authorized-Client VLAN: Like the Unauthorized-Client VLAN, this is a conventional, static, untagged, port-based VLAN previously configured on the switch by the System Administrator. The intent in using this VLAN is to provide authenticated clients with network access and services. When the client connection terminates, the port drops its membership in this VLAN.
Web and MAC Authentication Operating Rules and Notes Operating Rules and Notes ■ The switch supports concurrent 802.1X , Web and MAC authentication operation on a port (with up to 2 clients allowed). However, concur rent operation of Web and MAC authentication with other types of authentication on the same port is not supported.
Page 97
Web and MAC Authentication Operating Rules and Notes 1. If there is a RADIUS-assigned VLAN, then, for the duration of the client session, the port belongs to this VLAN and temporarily drops all other VLAN memberships. 2. If there is no RADIUS-assigned VLAN, then, for the duration of the client session, the port belongs to the Authorized VLAN (if configured) and temporarily drops all other VLAN memberships.

TACACS+ Authentication Terminology Used in TACACS Applications: TACACS+ server for authentication services. If the switch fails to connect to any TACACS+ server, it defaults to its own locally assigned passwords for authentication control if it has been configured to do so. For both Console and Telnet access you can configure a login (read-only) and an enable (read/ write) privilege level access.
Page 150
TACACS+ Authentication Terminology Used in TACACS Applications: face. (Using the menu interface you can assign a local password, but not a username.) Because this method assigns passwords to the switch instead of to individuals who access the switch, you must distribute the password information on each switch to everyone who needs to access the switch, and you must configure and manage password protection on a per-switch basis.
TACACS+ Authentication General System Requirements General System Requirements To use TACACS+ authentication, you need the following: A TACACS+ server application installed and configured on one or ■ more servers or management stations in your network.

Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists Introduction A RADIUS-assigned ACL is configured on a RADIUS server and dynamically assigned by the server to filter traffic entering the switch through a specific port after the client is authenticated by the server.
Page 250
Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists • RADIUS-assigned ACL: dynamic ACL assigned to a port by a RADIUS server to filter inbound traffic from an authenticated client on that port An ACL can be configured on an interface as a static port ACL. (RADIUS assigned ACLs are configured on a RADIUS server.) ACL Mask: Follows a destination IP address listed in an ACE.
Page 251
Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists Permit: An ACE configured with this action allows the switch to forward an inbound packet for which there is a match within an applicable ACL. Permit Any Any: An abbreviated form of permit in ip from any to any, which permits any inbound IP traffic from any source to any destination.
Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists Overview of RADIUS-Assigned, Dynamic ACLs RADIUS-assigned ACLs enhance network and switch management access security and traffic control by permitting or denying authenticated client access to specific network resources and to the switch management interface.

Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists Note A RADIUS-assigned ACL assignment filters all inbound IP traffic from an authenticated client on a port, regardless of whether the client’s IP traffic is to be switched or routed. RADIUS-assigned ACLs can be used either with or without PCM and IDM support.
Configuring RADIUS Server Support for Switch Services Configuring and Using RADIUS-Assigned Access Control Lists RADIUS-assigned ACLs Static Port ACLs Allows one RADIUS-assigned ACL per authenticated client Supports static ACLs on a port. (Each such ACL filters traffic from a different, authenticated client.) Note: The switch provides ample resources for supporting RADIUS-assigned ACLs and other features.

Configuring Secure Shell (SSH) Terminology Note SSH in ProCurve switches is based on the OpenSSH software toolkit. For more information on OpenSSH, visit www.openssh.com . Switch SSH and User Password Authentication . This option is a subset of the client public-key authentication shown in figure 7-1. It occurs if the switch has SSH enabled but does not have login access (login public-key) configured to authenticate the client’s key.

Configuring Secure Shell (SSH) Terminology Enable Level: Manager privileges on the switch. ■ Login Level: Operator privileges on the switch. ■ ■ Local password or username: A Manager-level or Operator-level password configured in the switch. ■ SSH Enabled: (1) A public/private key pair has been generated on the switch (generate ssh [dsa | rsa]) and (2) SSH is enabled (ip ssh).
Configuring Secure Shell (SSH) Prerequisite for Using SSH Prerequisite for Using SSH Before using the switch as an SSH server, you must install a publicly or commercially available SSH client application on the computer(s) you use for management access to the switch. If you want client public-key authentication (page 7-2), then the client program must have the capability to generate or import keys.
Configuring Secure Shell (SSH) Steps for Configuring and Using SSH for Switch and Client Authentication Steps for Configuring and Using SSH for Switch and Client Authentication For two-way authentication between the switch and an SSH client, you must use the login (Operator) level. Table 7-1.

Unless otherwise noted, “implicit deny IP any” refers to the “deny” action enforced by both standard and extended ACLs.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Overview Overview Types of IP ACLs Standard ACL: Use a standard ACL when you need to permit or deny traffic based on source IP address. Standard ACLs are also useful when you need to quickly control a performance problem by limiting traffic from a subnet, group of devices, or a single device.

IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Overview General Steps for Planning and Configuring ACLs 1. Identify the traffic type to filter. Options include: • Any inbound IP traffic • Inbound TCP traffic only • Inbound UDP traffic only 2. The SA and/or the DA of inbound traffic you want to permit or deny. 3. Determine the best points at which to apply specific ACL controls.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) ACL Operation ACL Operation Introduction An ACL is a list of one or more Access Control Entries (ACEs), where each ACE consists of a matching criteria and an action (permit or deny). An ACL applies only to the switch in which it is configured. ACLs operate on assigned ports and static trunks, and filter these traffic types: ■...
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) ACL Operation The Packet-Filtering Process Sequential Comparison and Action. When the switch uses an ACL to fil ter a packet, it sequentially compares each ACE’s filtering criteria to the corresponding data in the packet until it finds a match. For a packet with a source IP address of 10.28.156.3, the switch: 1.
Page 339
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) ACL Operation N o t e o n I m p l i c i t For ACLs configured to filter inbound packets, note that Implicit Deny filters D e n y any packets, including those with a DA specifying the switch itself. This operation helps to prevent management access from unauthorized IP sources.
Page 340
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) ACL Operation Deny only the inbound Telnet traffic sent from IP address 11.11.11.101. Permit only inbound Telnet traffic sent from IP address 11.11.11.33. Deny all other inbound traffic on port 12. The following ACL model, when assigned to inbound filtering on port 12, supports the above case: 1. Permits IP traffic inbound from source address 11.11.11.42.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Planning an ACL Application Overriding the Implicit “Deny Any”. If you want an ACL to permit any inbound packets that are not explicitly denied by other entries in the ACL, you can do so by configuring a permit any entry as the last entry in the ACL. Doing so permits any packet not explicitly denied by earlier entries.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Planning an ACL Application Rule Usage There is only one implicit “deny any” entry per device for CLI ACLs, ■ and one implicit “deny any” entry per device for IDM ACLs. ■ The implicit “deny any” entry is created only the first time an ACL is applied to a port.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Planning an ACL Application The following two CLI commands are useful for planning and monitoring rule and mask usage in an ACL configuration. Syntax: access-list resources help Provides a quick reference on how ACLs use rule resources. Includes most of the information in table 9-2, plus an ACL usage summary.
IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) Planning an ACL Application 3. Determine which of the existing policies you can remove to free up rule resources for the ACL policy you want to implement. Depending on your network topology and configuration, you can free up rule resources by moving some policies to other devices.

Configuring Advanced Threat Protection DHCP Snooping DHCP snooping accomplishes this by allowing you to distinguish between trusted ports connected to a DHCP server or switch and untrusted ports connected to end-users. DHCP packets are forwarded between trusted ports without inspection. DHCP packets received on other switch ports are inspected before being forwarded.

To configure a port or range of ports as trusted, enter this command: ProCurve(config)# dhcp-snooping trust <port-list> You can also use this command in the interface context, in which case you are not able to enter a list of ports.
Configuring Advanced Threat Protection DHCP Snooping Configuring Authorized Server Addresses If authorized server addresses are configured, a packet from a DHCP server must be received on a trusted port AND have a source address in the autho rized server list in order to be considered valid. If no authorized servers are configured, all servers are considered valid.

Configuring Advanced Threat Protection DHCP Snooping N o t e DHCP snooping only overrides the Option 82 settings on a VLAN that has snooping enabled, not on VLANS without snooping enabled. If DHCP snooping is enabled on a switch where an edge switch is also using DHCP snooping, it is desirable to have the packets forwarded so the DHCP bindings are learned.
Configuring Advanced Threat Protection DHCP Snooping Changing the Remote-id from a MAC to an IP Address By default, DHCP snooping uses the MAC address of the switch as the remote- id in Option 82 additions.

Configuring Advanced Threat Protection Dynamic ARP Protection Dynamic ARP Protection Introduction On the VLAN interfaces of a routing switch, dynamic ARP protection ensures that only valid ARP requests and responses are relayed or used to update the local ARP cache. ARP packets with invalid IP-to-MAC address bindings adver tised in the source protocol address and source physical address fields are discarded.
Page 415
Configuring Advanced Threat Protection Dynamic ARP Protection • If a binding is valid, the switch updates its local ARP cache and forwards the packet. • If a binding is invalid, the switch drops the packet, preventing other network devices from receiving the invalid IP-to-MAC information. DHCP snooping intercepts and examines DHCP packets received on switch ports before forwarding the packets.

Configuring Advanced Threat Protection Dynamic IP Lockdown • Dynamic IP lockdown only filters packets in VLANs that are enabled for DHCP snooping. In order for Dynamic IP lockdown to work on a port, the port must be configured for at least one VLAN that is enabled for DHCP snooping.
Configuring Advanced Threat Protection Dynamic IP Lockdown Adding an IP-to-MAC Binding to the DHCP Binding Database A switch maintains a DHCP binding database, which is used for dynamic IP lockdown as well as for DHCP and ARP packet validation. The DHCP snooping feature maintains the lease database by learning the IP-to-MAC bindings of VLAN traffic on untrusted ports.
Configuring Advanced Threat Protection Dynamic IP Lockdown Adding a Static Binding To add the static configuration of an IP-to-MAC binding for a port to the lease database, enter the ip source-binding command at the global configuration level. Use the no form of the command to remove the IP-to-MAC binding from the database.

Traffic/Security Filters and Monitors Filter Types and Operation When you create a source port filter, all ports and port trunks (if any) ■ on the switch appear as destinations on the list for that filter, even if routing is disabled and separate VLANs and/or subnets exist. Where traffic would normally be allowed between ports and/or trunks, the switch automatically forwards traffic to the outbound ports and/or trunks you do not specifically configure to drop traffic.
Traffic/Security Filters and Monitors Filter Types and Operation This list shows the filter created to block (drop) traffic from source port 5 (workstation "X") to destination port 7 (server "A"). Notice that the filter allows traffic to move from source port 5 to all other destination ports.

Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X) Overview • Port-Based access control option allowing authentication by a single client to open the port. This option does not force a client limit and, on a port opened by an authenticated client, allows unlimited client access without requiring further authentication.
Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X) Overview This operation improves security by opening a given port only to individually authenticated clients, while simultaneously blocking access to the same port for clients that cannot be authenticated. All sessions must use the same untagged VLAN.
Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X) Terminology This operation unblocks the port while an authenticated client session is in progress. In topologies where simultaneous, multiple client access is possible this can allow unauthorized and unauthenticated access by another client while an authenticated client is using the port.
Page 464
Configuring Port-Based and User-Based Access Control (802.1X) Terminology a port loses its authenticated client connection, it drops its membership in this VLAN. Note that with multiple clients on a port, all such clients use the same untagged, port-based VLAN membership. Authentication Server: The entity providing an authentication service to the switch when the switch is configured to operate as an authenticator.

Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown You will need to enter a separate command for each MAC/VLAN pair you wish to lock down. If you do not specify a VLAN ID (VID) the switch inserts a VID of “1”. How It Works.
Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown Other Useful Information. Once you lock down a MAC address/VLAN pair on one port that pair cannot be locked down on a different port. You cannot perform MAC Lockdown and 802.1X authentication on the same port or on the same MAC address.
Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockdown MAC Lockdown Operating Notes Limits. There is a limit of 500 MAC Lockdowns that you can safely code per switch. To truly lock down a MAC address it would be necessary to use the MAC Lockdown command for every MAC Address and VLAN ID on every switch.
Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockout Deploying MAC Lockdown When you deploy MAC Lockdown you need to consider how you use it within your network topology to ensure security. In some cases where you are using techniques such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to speed up network per formance by providing multiple paths for devices, using MAC Lockdown either will not work or else it defeats the purpose of having multiple data paths.
Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockout To use MAC Lockout you must first know the MAC Address you wish to block. Syntax: [no] lockout-mac < mac-address > How It Works. Let’s say a customer knows there are unauthorized wireless clients who should not have access to the network.

Configuring and Monitoring Port Security MAC Lockout Port Security and MAC Lockout MAC Lockout is independent of port-security and in fact will override it. MAC Lockout is preferable to port-security to stop access from known devices because it can be configured for all ports on the switch with one command. It is possible to use MAC Lockout in conjunction with port-security.
