2.5.1 LAN High Level Diagram, IP scheme and Equipment List
The WWTC LAN design consists of network switching devices in the core, distribution and access layers
of the network coupled with the in-place network cabling that connects all these devices together.
WWTC’s network infrastructure is a model of a star topology. Focused and trained, WWTC’s IT staff
present a switching configuration that offers fast network performance, efficient device management and
plans for future company growth. This approach greatly enhances network performance that eliminates
unnecessary interconnections, while offering scalability. At a high level, WWTC’s topology has a number
of edge routers used for Internet Service Provider (ISP) connectivity, Firewalls and Intrusion Prevention
Systems aimed to block intruders, routers and access switches that offer redundancy and end device
connectivity.
A Full-Mesh Topology
WWTC operates a full-mesh topology. Within the New York regional office, WWTC communicates with
its Hong Kong headquarters and several other WWTC offices located within the United States through
redundant ISP links. NY.WWTC.com uses EIGRP as its routing protocol. “EIGRP is an enhanced
distance vector protocol, relying on the Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) to calculate the shortest path
to a destination within a network.” (Cisco.com, 2015). The NY.WWTC.com full-mesh architecture allows
for continued connection between WWTC locations around the globe shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1 High Level Design

UMUC CMIT 495
2.5.2 Switch Interconnections and Redundancy
WWTC’s LAN design model consists of dual switching at each layer in order to achieve network device
redundancy. Along with this two device design, WWTC ensures redundant cable connections are
established beginning with each computer on the network. All computers are equipped with dual network
cards and have been connected to two different switches. Redundancy is also built into the access layer and
the distribution layer of its network. The distribution layer offers redundancy to core switches through
similar cross-connected links. This means that each switch is connected to at least two other switches by
two independent physical cable connections. Figure 1 above is a high level illustration that shows the
implementation of the network architect supporting redundancy and all levels. Figure 2 below is a
physical connection model planned for the NY.WWTC client computer roll-out.
Figure 2 Redundant PC links
2.5.3 IP Hierarchical Scheme
The following diagram and table (Fig. 3) provide a high level view of the IPv4 addressing scheme
planned for NY.WWTC.com. The legend represents different color coded VLANs appropriate to Figure 1
(above), the topology diagram. The switches provide VLAN summarization points and NY.WWTC has
provisioned two Internet Service Providers (ISP’s). The EIGRP protocol will be configured on the
network and TCP/IP is used as the routing protocol.
Figure 3 IP Hierarchical Scheme

UMUC CMIT 495
2.5.4 LAN, VoIP and Wireless Equipment List
The IT team has evaluated the networking equipment requirements for WWTC’s New York based office.
As a whole, WWTC recognizes Cisco equipment as being the industry leader regarding internetworking
equipment. By utilizing Cisco as the standard manufacturer, WWTC’s qualified Cisco Certified Network
Administrators (CCNA) can work within a common body of knowledge. This eliminates any possible
learning curve and subsequent delay. Focused on efficient management, similar design and standardized
configurations, the IT team presents the following equipment list.

2.6.6 Physically install Cisco IPS 4270
The Cisco IPS 4270 is a Intrusion Prevention System that will be located in the unclassified IT closet,
room 4, Suite A and classified IT closet, room 4, Suite D.
Traffic will go through the IP then forwarded to the firewall checks. The IPS is “inline mode” with the
firewall. Order of traffic will be:
 Traffic enters IPS
 IPs applies security policies to traffic and takes action
 Valid traffic is sent to ASA firewall
 Traffic enters the ASA.
 Firewall policies are applied.
 Incoming traffic is decrypted
 Outgoing VPN traffic is encrypted
2.6.7 Configure IPS 4270 for “inline mode” between ASA 5500 and WWTC network
Figure 10 is an example of how the inline mode IPs works except the firewall is behind the IPS before the
inside network:

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 10 IPS inline mode
Connecting device:
 Use CAT 5e/6-certified cabling for all connections.
 The interfaces will be configured to match the interfaces of the appliance for speed/duplex
negotiation (auto/auto).
 Portfast will be enabled on connected switchports to reduce spanning-tree forwarding delays.
2.6.8 Install McAfee E-Policy Orchestrator (EPO)
The McAfee EPO server provides Antivirus and Host Intrusion Prevention (HIP) to all host systems in
NY.WWTC.com domain. The server will be located in the unclassified IT closet, room 4, Suite A and
classified IT closet, room 4, Suite D.
Step 1 McAfee EPO software will be installed on 2008R2 Server/64bit. Configure IP of Server for
192.168.22.10 for unclassified and classified server. Once software fully installs by default
configurations, the following logon will appear and username is defaulted admin with password: admin.
The following logon is shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11 McAfee EPO installation
Step 2 Deploy the McAfee agent to all client systems in the NY.WWTC.com domain which will install
Virus Scan Enterprise (VSE) and Host Intrusion Prevention (HIP) on all systems. Below is the setup
process to install the agent on all systems from the EPO Server. After the agent deploys to all systems,
ensure the clients are pulling VSE and HIPs which is shown Figure 12 and 13.

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 12 Virus Scan Enterprise
Figure 13 Host Intrusion Prevention
2.6.9 Install and configure Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) 5.4
The ACS will be located in the unclassified IT closet, room 4, Suite A and classified IT closet, room 4,
Suite D. Authentication verifies user information to confirm the user's identity. Traditional authentication
uses a name and a fixed password. More secure methods use cryptographic techniques, such as those used
inside the Challenge Authentication Handshake Protocol (CHAP), OTP, and advanced EAP-based
protocols (User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.4, 2015). ACS supports a variety of
these authentication methods (User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control System 5.4, 2015). A
fundamental implicit relationship will exist between authentication and authorization. The more
authorization privileges granted to a user, the stronger the authentication should be. ACS supports this
relationship by providing various methods of authentication (User Guide for Cisco Secure Access Control
System 5.4, 2015)
Step 1 Add network devices, users and create authorization rules to allow or deny access through
RADIUS authentication. RADIUS authentication port number is 1812.
Step 2 Install ACS license, system certificates and configure password policy rules for administrators and
users.
2.6.10 Install and configure KG-175D
The KG-175D is a TACLANE that separates the classified data from the unclassified data through
communication security.
Step 1 Physically install KG-175D
 Attach a ground wire to an earth ground
 Loosen or remove the nut from the “GND” ground binding post on the TACLANE as needed.
 Attach the ground wire to the “GND” ground binding post on the TACLANE and tighten the nut.
 Make sure that the TACLANE is powered off.

UMUC CMIT 495
 Connect the power cable to the power connector on the TACLANE.
 Plug the power supply cable into a standard 110 VAC power outlets.
 Connect the Ethernet cable to the PT or CT RJ-45 jack on the TACLANE
Step 2 Configure KG-175D to separate classified from unclassified network
 Configure ASA 5500 firewall in the path between communicating TACLANEs to pass SDD,
IKE, and ESP.
 Insert CIK
 Power on TACLANE
 CIK activation will initialize
2.6.11 Configure VLAN security on network devices
All unused ports will be shutdown or placed in a black hole VLAN. By shutting down or isolating all
unused ports will disable trunking of the unused ports. In addition, Dynamic Trunk Protocol will be
turned off to prevent automatic negotiating to trunking mode which only allows manual configuration for
trunking a port. The command will be (config-if)# switchport negotiate on the interface.
2.6.12 Configure port security on network devices
Enabling port security limits the amount of MAC addresses that can connect and send data on the ports
they are connected to. This prevents unauthorized MAC addresses from connect to a port and obtaining
access to the network. The command will be (config-if)# switchport port-security on the interface and to
have the port shutdown due to unauthorized connections, a protection will be enabled. The command will
be (config-if)# switchport port-security violation protect.
2.6.13 Configure DHCP snooping on network devices
Enabling DHCP snooping can provide another layer of defense through the router by acting like a
secondary firewall between the DHCP server and untrusted systems. The command to set up DHCP
snooping is (config)# feature dhcp and is configured on the switch.
2.7 Active Directory Implementation
Step # Task
1 Prepare the Forest Root/Parent Domain; WWTC.com
2 Create the Forest Root/Parent Domain; WWTC.com
3 Create a Child Domain; NY.WWTC.com
2.7.1 Prepare the Forest Root/Parent Domain; WWTC.com
1) Deploy the First Forest Domain Controller. Review the AD DS and logical structure design.
2.7.2 Create the Forest Root/Parent Domain; WWTC.com
Step 1 Enable Windows Server 2012 R2 AD DS advanced features by raising the forest and domain
functional levels. It is recommended that you raise forest and domain functional levels while you run the
Active Directory Domain Services Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe).
Step 2 Creating the Forest Root Domain: WWTC’s Hong Kong Headquarters office had previously
established the WWTC.com Forest domain. Reportedly, they installed the Active Directory Domain
Name Services (AD DS) role onto their first domain controller by utilizing the Windows Server 2012R2
Server Manager tool. Installing AD DS is performed through “Add roles and features”, a wizard that
automatically adds in the needed tool sets and features required for active directory. Once AD DS was
installed, Server Manager alerted the administrator that a post-deployment action was needed entitled,
“Promote this server to a domain a controller”. Upon selecting the deployment configuration wizard,

UMUC CMIT 495
Hong Kong created the Forest named WWTC.com. (Figure 14) Once the prerequisite checks passed, the
domain controller promotion completed successfully and WWTC.com established the schema.
Figure 14 Add AD Forest
1) Deploy the First New York Domain Controller
a) Install Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) by running the Active Directory Domain Services
Installation Wizard on the server selected to be the first domain controller.
b) Add new domain to an existing forest (Fig. 15)
Figure 15 Child Domain
2.8 Configuration of Routers
The following information is provided in order to configure the NY.WWTC routers. This is the first time
the routers are accessed and they contain a default configuration from Cisco. The router holds an IOS
(Internetwork Operating System). This IOS is considered proprietary software and should not be accessed
or modified unless specifically handled by WWTC’s IT team. Figure xxx illustrates NY.WWTC’s Core

2.11 Voice VLAN and wireless
NY.WWTC site requires network access for users and guest users in limited areas of the three lobbies and
two conference rooms throughout Suite A-C. Since NY.WWTC is providing a private network, WWTC
wireless users will be designated to VLAN 27 to keep wireless users from accessing the WWTC intranet.
Creating a VLAN for the wireless users provides enhanced security to keep unauthorized users from
accessing WWTC’s sensitive data. WWTC requires a state of the art VOIP network. The voice and data
must be integrated to reduce cost and maintain 100% connectivity. Voice over IP provides a latest
platform for internal and external communication. The technology is cheap, simple, and scalable and has
high degree of fault tolerance. To prevent network congestion, NY.WWTC isolates the VoIP traffic from
the data traffic because VoIP traffic is extremely sensitive to network delays that occur from unavailable
bandwidth and bottlenecks. The isolation of the VoIP traffic is accomplished by the creation of separate
VLANs. The VoIP traffic will be designated to VLAN 24 to keep VoIP separated from the data traffic on
NY.WWTC’s network. By dedicating VoIP to a VLAN, IT managers allow the VoIP services to be easily
managed. Table 18 and 19 outline the VoIP assignment and topology.

2.12 Security technologies
The security goals of NY.WWTC.com are to protect key assets which in today’s industry are vulnerable
to four common threats. Those are: reconnaissance attacks, intruder threat, denial of service attack and
malware infiltration. In addition to those security threats, WWTC is focused on eliminating the lack of
security training for WWTC employees. Quarterly, WWTC conducts an all-hands training session that
reviews the latest security threats for business. The WWTC’s IT team is also aware that weak security
devices (or those lacking functionality), could cost WWTC time and money if/when not properly
positioned. The fix: implement a collection of security devices and properly configure and position those
devices within the network.
Key Assets
The NY.WWTC site presents a High Level security plan where key applications, servers and network
resources (data) will be kept secure. NY.WWTC presents these security technologies based on current
industry standards with multilayered security and a defense-in-depth models. The following areas have
been identified as NY.WWTC key assets and will be protected.
 Market Tracking Application Servers
 Stock and Bond Analytical Application Servers
 On Line Trading Sites and Methods
 Finance data
 Human Resources data
 All NY.WWTC Internal Servers
The following table lists and describes the security device roles that will be used to protect NY.WWTC

2.13 DHCP and DNS
The NY.WWTC site has two types of DNS zones; Forward and Reverse. A forward lookup zone resolves
a name to an IP address while a reverse lookup zone does the opposite and resolves an IP address to a
name. The global catalog domain controller (NYDC01.NY.WWTC.com) has an assigned static IP address
of 192.168.20.189 and is considered the zone’s SOA (Start of Authority) record. This server hosts many
types of records. A host name record (called an A record, IPv4) translates a name into an IP address.
Related to the reverse zone, pointer (PRT) records are always written backwards ( ).
NY.WWTC.com uses an Active Directory Integrated zone meaning that all DNS records are stored within
Active Directory. Located on the NYDC01.WWTC.com domain controller (assigned as the domain
global catalog server), the DNS zone is a Primary zone. All AD domain controllers hold a DNS role. AD
is known as a multi-master loosely defined database. This means that all other AD domain controllers
replicate and exchange (propagate) information between each other. The benefit of using primary DNS
lookup zones is that this propagation is done in a secured manner. For example, when NYDC01 and
NYDC02 exchange zone records, the exchange is always done through a technique known as secure
dynamic updates. It is true then, that within the entire WWTC.com’ DNS structure (the Forest), all DNS
zones are considered primary and replication (known as Zone Transfers) are performed securely. Hong
Kong domain controllers replicate to NY.WWTC.com, and vice versa. Below are images of
NYDC01.NY.WWTC.com domain controller DNS configuration. Figure 22 illustrates DNS secured
configuration, Figure 23 illustrates DNS records and Figure 24 illustrates DNS zone transfer.

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 22 DNS Secured Configuration
Figure 23 DNS Records
Figure 24 DNS Zone Transfer
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a method that dynamically and automatically assigns IP
addressing (IP Addresses) to client computers located on the NY.WWTC.com domain.
NYDC01.NY.WWTC.com is the server that will hold the DHCP role for NY.WWTC.com. NYDC01 not
only issues the client IP address, but will also deliver the network subnet mask, the default gateway of the
network, and both a primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses to domain client computers.
NYDC01.NY.WWTC.com will have 6 scopes illustrated in Figure 25:

2.14 Active Directory Policies
Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption is a security feature that provides enhanced data protection for
computers by encrypting all data stored on the Windows Operating System volume (Microsoft, 2014). A
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microchip that is built into computers to store cryptographic
information such as encryption keys. BitLocker uses TPM to help protect the Windows Operating System
and user data, and helps to ensure a computer is not tampered with in the invent it is lost or stolen
(Microsoft, 2014). To encrypt the workstations and servers in NY.WWTC, the IT team will deploy the
BitLocker encryption technology onto these devices. BitLocker drive encryption is a technique that is
used to secure data at rest behind unique, hard to crack passwords. BitLocker Drive Encryption encrypts
computer data using a strong encryption algorithm offering maximum security for the WWTC business
user. As an extreme example, imagine a computer being stolen from WWTC. The thief, after starting the
computer, or even removing the hard drive and placing it into a different computer, would be restricted
from accessing any information due to the encryption technology. To the thief, the information is jumbled
and unreadable.
Implementing BitLocker Encryption technology onto WWTC devices requires each employee to have:
1. A separate UBS flash Drive used to store a PIN or key. Or,
2. A computer with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). A TPM is a special microchip located in the
computer that supports advanced security encryption features. TPM version 1.2 or higher stores its
key in the TPM itself
Enforcing BitLocker encryption on a USB
WWTC employees are known to occasionally take data off site. To enforce that BitLocker encrypts only
the used space of a removable storage media device (e.g. USB drive), WWTC enforces a group policy
that sets BitLocker drive encryption on removable media. WWTC’s IT team sets a GPO under Computer
Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | BitLocker Drive Encryption. Figure
26 provides a visual sample of where this setting(s) can be found.

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 26 Bitlocker Encryption
BranchCache
To provide increased manageability, scalability, and data availability, the WWTC IT team enables a
technology known as BranchCache across the network. BranchCache is a technology that copies content
from WWTC’s Hong Kong file servers and caches (saves in memory) the content on to WWTC’s New
York regional office file servers allowing client computers at the regional offices to access the content
locally rather than over the WAN. (Microsoft, 2015). A benefit of deploying BranchCache results in
efficient optimization and use of bandwidth. For example, when a client accesses remote content in Japan,
BranchCache is used to store (cache) the desired content locally on the NY site. If a client wants to access
the same content later, that data does not need to be downloaded a second time as it already resides within
the BranchCache in NY. By default, BranchCache allocates 5% of the disk space for the cache, but this
value can easily be changed by creating and assigning a GPO. One of the concerns is bandwidth.
Bandwidth can become quickly saturated if wireless networking (WLAN) is utilized alongside wired
methods. Shown in Figure 27 enabling BranchCache on WWTC client computers is done through a group
policy. WWTC’s IT team sets a GPO under Computer Configuration | Policies | Administrative
Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the local machine | Network | BranchCache
shown in Figure 4. (Technet, 2015).
Figure 27 Branch Cache
2.14.1 Configure Global Catalog Servers and FSMO roles
The Schema Master and Domain Naming Master will be located at the Forest root
(WWTC.com).

UMUC CMIT 495
The RID Master, Infrastructure Master, PDC Emulator roles are located in each child domain
(NY.WWTC.com), yet there will be only one domain controller performing these jobs per domain.
(Testout.com, 2015).
On the opened Active Directory Sites and Services snap-in, from the left pane, expand Active Directory
Sites and Services (DC-01.NY.WWTC.com) > Sites > Default-First-Site-Name > Servers > DC-01. DC-
01.NY.WWTC.com and DC-01 are the Fully Qualified Domain Name and the hostname of the target
Active Directory domain controller that you want to be promoted as a Global Catalog server in this
demonstration respectively which is illustrated in example below.
On the displayed NTDS Settings Properties box, make sure that the General tab is selected.
On the displayed interface, check the Global Catalog checkbox to promote the target Active
Directory domain controller to a Global Catalog server. Shown below is a screenshot of where to
select a server for Global Catalog.
2.15 Active Directory Forest Domain OU formation
WWTC is headquartered in Hong Kong Japan, yet operates regional offices around the world. WWTC’s
newest office is being established on Wall Street in New York City. The New York office is largely
autonomous and only has a few IT personnel to take care of day-to-day IT support activities such as
password resets and troubleshooting virus problems. As well, the IT team is concerned about sensitive
data stored in this location. As a result, WWTC is deploying a highly developed OU structure in order to
implement security policies uniformly through the use of Group Policy Objects (GPO). This will be
performed on the company’s domains, OU’s, and workstations. As a top level diagram, Figure 28 is the
structure of WWTC’s forest layout.

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 28 Forest Layout
The WWTC forest design is:
1. One forest for WWTC.com (Hong Kong based) – this is called the forest root or Parent domain
-- WWTC.com is a Tree domain that establishes the company’s name space
2. Within this forest, the IT team has created a second domain called NY.WWTC.com
-- NY.WWTC.com is known as a Child domain that shares the common name space
3. WWTC.com and NY.WWTC.com domains trust each other
4. NY.WWTC.com can share resources with WWTC.com and vice versa
5. WWTC.com uses a common schema where all objects within the Forest take advantage of common
applications (e.g. mail services (Microsoft Exchange), Intranet web sites, Market Tracking and Stock and
Bond Analytical applications)
6. The WWTC Forest can easily accommodate growth (such as additional domains)
In general, all WWTC.com computers belong to a domain. These domains have been established based on
the physical location of where the local resources reside. The users in Hong Kong belong to WWTC.com
and the users in New York are members of NY.WWTC.com. A standardized, shared naming convention
(a common space (WWTC.com)) is in place and both domains “trust” each other. Like that of Hong
Kong, the New York office has established OUs that mirror the logical structure of the company’s NY
office mission. Shown in Figure 29 is the NY.WWTC.com infrastructure of ten OU’s.

department OU are two other OU’s; Users and Workstations. All employees (users) and their computers
(workstations) will be properly placed inside of these nested containers according to their department.
2.16 Active Directory Group Formation
Universal groups can be assigned permissions to resources anywhere in the forest. Universal groups can
contain members from any domain in the forest. These include Universal groups within the forest, Global
groups within the forest and/or Users and computers within the forest (Labsim, 2015). The Universal
Groups, who require access within WWTC.com and NY.WWTC.com, are:
1. Execs (Executives)
2. Finance
3. HR (Human Resources)
Domain Local groups have permission within the current Domain. The following groups will be created
for personnel who need access to only the NY.WWTC.com domain. Below are the Domain Local
Groups:
1. Brokers
2. IT (Information Technology)
3. Managers

UMUC CMIT 495
Global groups can be assigned permissions to resources anywhere in the forest. Global groups can contain
members within the same domain. The Global Group is created for users with VPN access when traveling
between sites. The following Global Group is:
1. VPN Remote
Figure 30 shows the role and the group scope of each type of group:
Figure 30 Group Scope
PowerShell Scripting
Powershell is a command-line tool that offers administrators an alternative over the standard graphical
user interface (GUI) environment. Servers are less burdened without memory intensive GUI applications
and video rendering software. Related to Active directory, groups can be built by using Powershell
scripting. To do a bulk build of groups through a Powershell script, WWTC IT staff recommends
importing .csv file that holds data identifying the group information. An example of the NY.WWTC
group structure, the below is a representation of information found within a .csv file.

2.17 Active Directory GPO Implementation
An important management process for NY.WWTC.com is having the ability to define unique yet
managed configurations for all users and computers across the WWTC.com forest. The deployment
strategy and designed use of group policies is for security configurations, updating and installing software
and protecting the confidentially, integrity and availability of WWTC.com computing information
systems. For security purposes, the following Group Policies will be applied to the NY.WWTC.com
Default Domain Policy shown in the Figure 31 below:
1. Rename the local Administrator Account Policy
2. Disable the Guest Account Policy
3. User Access Control (UAC) Policy

UMUC CMIT 495
Figure 31 Default Domain Policy
Renaming the local Administrator Account on hundreds of systems can be very time consuming which is
why enforcing GPOs allows for easier management. This GPO offers security to all systems in the
NY.WWTC.com domain by renaming the local Administrator account which could be exploited.
The settings for creating this GPO are found in Computer ConfigurationPoliciesWindows
SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options, which can be seen in the flowing Figure 32.
Figure 32 Renaming Local Administrator Account
Disabling the Guest Account can also be a time consuming task when required on hundreds of systems.
The benefit of Active Directory is it can be enforced in the domain. Disabling the Guest Account prevents
unauthorized access from a threat.
The settings for creating this GPO are found in Computer ConfigurationPoliciesWindows
SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options, which can be seen in Figure 33.

Figure 33 Disabling Guest Account
User Account Control provides security which enforces standard user level access and administration
authentication for any changes or modifications to a system (Technet, 2015). It prompts a user for
Administrative rights when accessing applications, registry or file systems. This enables Administrators
to use their user account without having to log on and off systems to enforce Administrator actions.
The settings for creating a UAC GPO are found in Computer ConfigurationPoliciesWindows
SettingsSecurity SettingsLocal PoliciesSecurity Options, which can all be seen in Figure 34.
