*Management Plane—The management plane manages traffic that is sent to the Cisco IOS device and is made up of applications and protocols such as SSH and SNMP.
 
−
*Control Plane—The control plane of a network device processes the traffic that is paramount to maintaining the functionality of the network infrastructure. The control plane consists of applications and protocols between network devices.
 
−
*Data Plane—The data plane forwards data through a network device. The data plane does not include traffic that is sent to the local Cisco IOS device.

Exclusive Configuration Change Access

  • ensures that only one administrator makes configuration changes to a Cisco IOS device at a given time.
B1rt1(config)#<input>configuration mode exclusive auto</input>
!
B1rt1#<input>conf t</input>
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Apr 16 13:02:58.746:  Configuration mode locked exclusively. The lock will be cleared once you exit out of configuration mode using end/exit
B1rt1(config)#<input>interface fa0/0</input>
Configuration mode locked exclusively by user 'admin' process '56' from terminal '195'. Please try later.

For more information see: Exclusive Configuration Change Access

Cisco IOS Software Resilient Configuration

  • stores a copy of the Cisco IOS software image and device configuration that is currently being used by a Cisco IOS device.
  • Can only be disabled through console access

Reserve Memory for Console Access

  • used in order to reserve enough memory to ensure console access to a Cisco IOS device
memory reserve console 4096

For more information see: Reserve Memory for Console Access

Memory Leak Detector

  • used in order to check the memory structures of a device and acquire the latest crash information to determine what processes corrupt the chunks.
scheduler heapcheck process memory

For more information see: Memory Leak Detector

Buffer Overflow: Detection and Correction of Redzone Corruption

  • A memory block overflow problem is detected in the Cisco IOS software when the value of an area in the memory block called the "redzone" is checked
  • When a memory block overflow problem is detected in packet memory, software will change the memory block header data back to its correct value.
exception memory ignore overflow io
exception memory ignore overflow processor
show memory overflow

For more information see: Buffer Overflow: Detection and Correction of Redzone Corruption

EXEC Timeout

  • logs out sessions on vty or tty lines that are left idle.
  • Default is 10 minutes
line con 0
 exec-timeout 5
line vty 0 4
 exec-timeout 5
  • on some older IOS versions the default is, no timeout
  • when all lines are occupied, no one can log in until the device is restarted or the sessions are cleared through the console

Disable Unused Services

no ip finger

no service pad
no ip http server 
no service config

On versions prior to 12.0, also do:
no service udp-small-servers
no service tcp-small-servers

No Service Password-Recovery

  • Disables password recovery through ROMMON
  • The router can be reset to factory default configuration, but the stored configuration is lost
no service password-recovery

For more information see: No Service Password-Recovery

Password Management

  • Uses Message Digest 5 (MD5) for password hashing
enable secret cisco
  • prevents casual observers from reading passwords
  • weak password encryption
service password-encryption

Login Password Retry Lockout

  • locks an user account after a configured number of failed attempts
  • must be manually unlocked again

Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your
  General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take
  a few minutes.

Control vty and tty Lines

  • Disable unwanted access methods to and from the virtual lines
  • Use access-lists to control access to the virtual lines
line vty 0 4
 transport input ssh
 transport output ssh
 access-class 2 in
line vty 5
 transport input ssh
 transport output ssh
 access-class 2 in
!
access-list 2 permit 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

Mangement Plane Protection

  • restricts management to one or more logical or physical interfaces
  • Can be used as an alternative to vty access-list and interface access-lists
  • Works with ftp, http, https, ssh, telnet, tftp and snmp
