Understanding
Switch Security

Common Threats to Physical Installations
 Hardware threats
 Environmental threats
 Electrical threats
 Maintenance threats

Configuring a Switch Password

Configuring the Login Banner
 Defines and enables a customized banner to be displayed before
the username and password login prompts.
SwitchX# banner login " Access for authorized users only. Please enter your
username and password. "

Telnet vs. SSH Access
 Telnet
– Most common access method
– Insecure
 SSH-encrypted
!– The username command create the username and password for the SSH session
Username cisco password cisco
ip domain-name mydomain.com
crypto key generate rsa
ip ssh version 2
line vty 0 4
login local
transport input ssh

Verifying Port Security
on the Catalyst 2960 Series (Cont.)

Securing Unused Ports
 Unsecured ports can create a security hole.
 A switch plugged into an unused port will be added to the
network.
 Secure unused ports by disabling interfaces (ports).

Disabling an Interface (Port)
shutdown
SwitchX(config-int)#
 To disable an interface, use the shutdown command in interface
configuration mode.
 To restart a disabled interface, use the no form of this command.

Summary
 The first level of security is physical.
 Passwords can be used to limit access to users that have been
given the password.
 The login banner can be used to display a message before the
user is prompted for a username.
 Telnet sends session traffic in cleartext; SSH encrypts the
session traffic.
 Port security can be used to limit MAC addresses to a port.
 Unused ports should be shut down.
