Flashcards

What is NAT ALG?

A technology used to translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses, allowing intranet servers to be accessed from the internet.

What is a Server Mapping Table?

A table used to store mappings between public and private IP addresses, allowing for secure access to private resources.

What is AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting)?

A configuration mode that manages network security and access control, using three key mechanisms: authentication, authorization, and accounting.

What is 'Authorization' in AAA?

A security feature that determines if a user is allowed to access a particular service or resource.

Study Notes

NAT (Network Address Translation)

  • NAT ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is used to translate application layer packets
  • NAT Server translates public IP addresses to private IP addresses, allowing internet users to access intranet servers
  • NAT is a static destination address translation

AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting)

  • AAA is a network security management mechanism
  • Authentication determines user network access
  • Authorization grants users access to services
  • Accounting records resource usage by users
  • AAA can be managed locally or through an external server (RADIUS Server)
  • AAA uses a user, NAS, and AAA server architecture
  • NAS (Network Access Server) centralizes user access requests
  • Common NAS devices like switches and firewalls
  • AAA server centralizes user information
  • Firewalls support several authentication and authorization modes including
    • Non-authentication
    • Local authentication
    • Remote authentication
  • Authorization includes user groups, VLANs, and ACLs, restricting services available
  • Firewalls support several accounting modes including
    • Non-accounting
    • Remote accounting

NAT Server Configuration

  • Backup modes: automatic and manual
  • Automatic backups are triggered when Heartbeat Protocol (HRP) is enabled.
  • Manual backups are triggered by the administrator
  • Configuration includes quick session backup for load balancing
  • Configuration status information includes session table, server map table, blacklist, whitelist, address mapping table, MAC address table, user table, IPSEC SA, and tunnel status

NAT Server Operation

  • Heartbeat Protocol (HRP) is enabled by default
  • Heartbeat Interface has 5 states (valid, down, peer down, ready, running)
  • Preemption delay is 60 seconds
