PPTP and HTTP Port Forwarding with Static NAT on a Cisco Router

by Don R. Crawley



Recently, a student at one of our seminars asked about port forwarding on a router. She wanted to allow PPTP clients to connect from the outside to a VPN server on the inside. In this article, I'll explain how to do it along with a quick look at using static NAT to forward packets to a web server.

Port Forwarding on a Cisco Router

Sometimes we have internal resources that need to be Internet-accessible such as Web servers, mail servers, or VPN servers. Generally, I recommend isolating those resources in a DMZ to protect your office LAN from the bad guys, but regardless of how you choose to design it, the process involves forwarding desired packets from the router's outside interface to an internal host. It's really a fairly simple process. Here's the configuration on a Cisco 2611 router:

interface Ethernet0/1 ip address 12.1.2.3 255.255.255.0 ip nat outside ! interface Ethernet0/0 ip address 192.168.101.1 255.255.255.0 ip nat inside ! ip nat inside source list 101 interface Ethernet0/1 overload ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.101.2 1723 interface Ethernet0/1 1723 ! access-list 101 permit ip any any

In the above configuration, Ethernet 0/1 is connected to the public Internet with a static address of 12.1.2.3 and Ethernet 0/0 is connected to the inside network with a static address of 192.168.101.1. NAT outside is configured on E0/1 and NAT inside is configured on E0/0. Access-list 101 works in conjunction with the "ip nat inside source list 101 interface Ethernet0/1 overload" statement to permit all inside hosts to use E0/1 to connect to the Internet sharing whatever IP address is assigned to interface Ethernet E0/1.

The "overload" statement implements PAT (Port Address Translation) which makes that possible. (PAT allows multiple internal hosts to share single address on an external interface by appending different port numbers to each connection.)

The statement "ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.101.2 1723 interface Ethernet0/1 1723" takes incoming port 1723 (PPTP) requests on Ethernet0/1 and forwards them to the VPN server located at 192.168.101.2.

You could do something similar with a Web server by changing port 1723 to port 80 or port 443. Here's what that would look like:

interface Ethernet0/1 ip address 12.1.2.3 255.255.255.0 ip nat outside ! interface Ethernet0/0 ip address 192.168.101.1 255.255.255.0 ip nat inside ! ip nat inside source list 101 interface Ethernet0/1 overload ip nat inside source static tcp 192.168.101.2 80 interface Ethernet0/1 80 ! access-list 101 permit ip any any

In this example, the web server is located at 192.168.101.2 and instead of forwarding PPTP (port 1723) traffic, we're forwarding HTTP (port 80) traffic.

Obviously, you can configure your Cisco router in a similar manner to forward nearly any type of traffic from an outside interface to an internal host.

Basic IT Infrastructure Investments That Cannot Be Ignored For An Acquired New Business

by Gabriel Ng

Introduction

In order to expand, most companies either grow organically or acquire new businesses. For newly acquired business, there will be a lot of groundwork need to be done to merge the acquired companies IT System to the purchaser company IT System. In IT Infrastructure areas, there are basic requirements that cannot be ignored especially if the new business is in another location or country. These requirements will assist in mitigating the risk of possible security threats from Internet such as trojans, viruses, and worms, hackers damaging business servers or worst unauthorized intrusion retrieving valuable data.

Basic IT Infrastructure investment includes:

a)Firewall

A proper firewall should have Packet filter, Stateful level protection, IPS, Anti-Spyware, Web Anti-Virus that acts as the first line of defense against any attacks, security threat from the Internet.

A Web-based firewall with easy secured configuration menu is preferred. Further, this is suitable for offices that are lack of dedicated local IT personnel. The HQ IT Experts can remotely assist in administering this firewall for the remote office. Remote administration should be via a secured HTTPS channel. Lookout for reputable firewalls that comes with built-in VPN, Web-based Application Filter (Proxy) Anti Virus and also Intrusion Protection.

b) Anti-Virus

To implement the first layer of anti-virus to protect the servers and PCs from harmful viruses, it will be advisable to setup a central Anti-Virus server in the HQ. This meant all acquired offices require are to install the Anti-Virus clients into their local servers and PCs. Management of the latest virus pattern file, scheduled scanning, and licence management will be centrally managed by HQ IT team using the central anti-virus Server.

Note: When your IT Infrastructure grows, it is better to place your servers in a proper Tier 3 or 4 Data Centre. These Data Centres often guarantees electrical and air-condition supply with a SLA agreement of 99.99%. If the HQ servers are not in a proper Data Centre, imagine a severe electrical outage may just cripple your main servers and also all your acquired companies and subsidiaries IT Systems.

c)E-Mail

Instead of investing ground up on an Industry standard communication software such as Lotus or Exchange E-Mail system, it will be advisable that the new acquired company also take advantage of your HQ E-Mail system. The acquired company only requires to install E-Mail clients and can start utilizing the e-mail for communication and data delivery (if required). The E-Mail system will also be administered centrally.

To mitigate risk further, HQ E-Mail system should be clustered for high-availability and comes with dual layer anti-virus systems, anti-spam and anti-relay mechanisms to mitigate risk of E-Mail viruses, spam and relay attacks.

d)Tape Backup System

To reduce the risk of not been able to recover data in the event of server or database failure, a proper tape backup should be implemented. It is recommended to use enterprise Backup Systems (e.g. CA, Veritas) software that comes with Open File Agent (allows to backup files that are currently still open), SQL Backup Agent (allows to backup database without shutting down the database). It will be prudent to conduct daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backups. Monthly and yearly backups should be kept off-site.

e) Telecommunication line

Option 1)

A WAN (Wide Area Network) link will provide a stable communication line given the provider will guarantee a minimum bandwidth. E-Mail replications, Business related application connections will be more predictable on a WAN line. As you have more subsidiaries and new acquired offices, you can leverage onyour numbers with your WAN provider for a better pricing and services. WAN links are costly but are stable and critical if your business relies on fast and reliable International connectivity.

Option 2)

Cost effective Internet lease line or broadband. This meant connection between the offices to HQ is via Internet. However, please note Internet connection is "best effort" where there is no guarantees of bandwidth or uptime. This is a cheaper solution that WAN.

For secure communication between the offices, I would recommend implementing VPN (Virtual Private Network) connections between these offices. This will facilitate encrypted communication between the offices.

These are basic measures that should be in place before allowing communications between these new offices and your HQ data servers. The impact is severe if security threats were to spread to your HQ and other offices from a new business via WAN or private lease lines.

Understanding The International Private Leased Circuit (Or IPLC) Line of Oracle Contact Center Anywhere of Promero

by Remy Na

The IPLC system stands for international private leased circuit line which serves as a private point-to-point system used for communication between members of an organization who are occupying offices in various parts of the world. This private communication line can accommodate message delivery via different telecommunication systems like video conferencing, business data exchange, and the more common Internet access between members of the same organization, same company or same association (as deemed necessary.)

The IPLC is the deployment system used in the Promero offering dubbed Oracle Contact Center Anywhere which is a call center solution made by software developer Oracle. Oracle Contact Center Anywhere is used to create virtual call centers all around the world. To implement use of IPLC by call centers in the past, each call center had to file an application with one carrier to carry one private leased circuit line in one country, while contacting a different carrier in another country to carry the second private leased circuit …#34; so essentially, the contact center company would have to create one invoice per carrier per country.

But nowadays, a call center can rely on the OSS method (or One Stop Shopping method) for handling the billing of two lines (even if one line is in one country and the other line is used in another country) via just one invoice. With the IPLC One Stop Shopping method, one call center can manage currency issues, with just one carrier handling the IPLC systems in either country. This makes life easier for the call center so that it will only be doing business with one carrier for both lines. The IPLC is also good to use if the call center will be relying on bandwidth-intensive applications for its call center tasks. This is because the IPLC can supply enough bandwidth even for such bandwidth-intensive applications. At the same time, the IPLC will be able to handle seamless integration of voice, data and imaging services as needed. This means your enterprise can be able to conduct video conferencing, telemedicine, conferencing between different Local Area Networks (or LAN-to-LAN), and of course Internet access.

This does not mean that the IPLC is the perfect communication system for a call center or similar enterprise to use. The IPLC also has its disadvantages such as when various traffic varieties rely on the network, and display different traffic engineering features and influence setting performance in their respective ways. In India, there are now more carriers competing as IPLC carriers which means that prices of services tend to fall as a result. Though at the moment India only permits ILDOs (or International Long Distance Operators) to serve as IPLC merchants, the ILD sector has been opened up too as of February 2007. The Indian government is also planning to permit the ILD sector known as the IPLC segment to be opened for Resale activities five years from February 2007.
