Managed Layer 3 Switches
Introduction
Allied Telesis switches include a range of sophisticated security features at layer 2 and layer 3.
This How To Note describes these features and includes brief examples of how to configure
them.
The implementations shown in this How To Note should be thought of as industry-standard
best practices.

Securing the device
Securing the device
The first step towards making a secure network is to secure
the networking equipment itself.
Products
All switches listed on page 2
Software Versions
There are two aspects to this. Firstly, physical security is
vital—lock your networking equipment away.
All
Secondly, straight after powering up any new piece of
networking equipment, change the default administrator user’s password. On an Allied
Telesis managed layer 3 switch, the default user is “manager”. To change the password, use
the following command:
set user=manager password=<new-password>
The default password is well-known. If you do not change it, anyone with physical or IP access
could reconfigure the switch.
Protecting the network
This section describes layer 2 based methods for controlling the negative impact of
misconfigured devices and misuse of the network. These solutions work at the Ethernet level
of a packet and cause no degradation in the switch's throughput.
You can protect your network against the following:

Protecting against packet flooding
Service providers are often vulnerable to traffic storms, primarily when incorrectly
configured customer equipment is directly connected to the provider. Storms overwhelm a
subnet, and all of the switches in that subnet, with traffic. Such misconfiguration can quickly
lead to widespread outages and compromise guaranteed service levels.
Storms are a reality in any network. They can occur by accident, maliciously, or when a
network device fails. They occur naturally in a network where switches are connected more
than once to the same VLAN, so administrators must employ a method to prevent these
switch loops.
Spanning Tree Protocol based solutions are the most common method of preventing loops.
However, incorrect configuration or other network issues can cause STP to fail. For example,
if a single switch in the VLAN does not have STP enabled, the STP tree will not converge
properly. Spanning tree protocols can even fail if a broadcast storm drowns out STP
messages.

You can use a simple Quality of Service (QoS) configuration
to match ARP packets and make sure that when a broadcast

Configuration To limit the bandwidth for ARPs:
1. Create a classifier to match ARP packets.
2. Create a QoS framework of policy, traffic class, and flow group. In the traffic class settings,
specify the maximum bandwidth for ARP traffic.
3. Apply the policy—and therefore the bandwidth limit—to one or more ports.
Example The following configuration limits ARP packets to 100kbps on port 48.
create classifier=1 protocol=0806 ethformat=ethii-untagged
create qos policy=1
create qos trafficclass=1 maxbandwidth=100
create qos flowgroup=1

Protecting the network
Using QoS policy-based storm protection
Policy-based storm protection lets you specify one of a
range of actions for the switch to take when it detects a
broadcast storm. It is a part of the QoS functionality.
Products
AT-8948
x900-48 Series
AT-9900 Series
Policy-based storm protection is more powerful than simple
bandwidth limiting. It lets you restrict storm damage to
within the storming VLAN, and it gives you the flexibility to
define what traffic rate makes a broadcast storm.
AT-9924Ts
x900-24 Series
Software Versions
2.8. and later
1
Configuration To use storm protection:
1. Turn on the switch enhanced mode qoscounters, unless it is already enabled. After this,
you need to restart the switch.
2. Create a classifier to match the desired traffic. To match all broadcast packets specify a
destination MAC address of ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff.
3. Create a QoS traffic class and define the following storm protection settings in it:
z
z
z
Window (stormwindow) specifies how often the switch measures traffic to decide
whether to activate storm protection (in seconds).
Rate (stormrate) specifies the amount of traffic per second that must be exceeded
before the switch takes action.
Action (stormaction) specifies what the switch does when it detects a storm:
Link Down (linkdown) makes the switch physically disable the port on which the
storm is occurring, so that the link goes down.
Port Disable (portdisable) makes the switch logically disable the port on which the
storm is occurring, leaving the link up.
VLAN Disable (vlandisable) makes the switch block traffic only on the VLAN on
which the storm is occurring.
z
Timeout (stormtimeout) specifies the number of seconds that the port remains
disabled for.
4. Create the rest of the QoS framework: a flow group and policy. Add the classifier to the
flow group, the flow group to the traffic class, and the traffic class to the policy.
5. Apply the policy—and therefore the storm protection—to one or more ports.
The procedure above applies storm protection to classified traffic, and uses a classifier to
select all broadcast traffic. This is the most common approach. If you want to, you can instead
classify to select important non-broadcast traffic and apply storm protection to unmatched
traffic. Unimportant or unwanted unicast and multicast traffic then counts towards the storm
calculations.
To apply storm protection to unclassified traffic, configure storm protection on the default
traffic class in the QoS policy settings. Use the parameters dtcstormwindow,
dtcstormrate, dtcstormaction, and dtcstormtimeout.

Protecting the network
Example The following example applies storm protection to classified broadcast traffic on port 1. If
there is a storm, it takes the link down for 60 seconds.
set switch enhancedmode=qoscounters
Reboot after turning on enhanced mode.
create classifier=1 macdaddr=ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff
create qos trafficclass=1 stormstatus=enable stormwindow=100
stormrate=100 stormaction=linkdown stormtimeout=60
The rest of the QoS configuration is as normal, so:
create qos flowgroup=1
add qos flowgroup=1 classifier=1
add qos trafficclass=1 flowgroup=1
create qos policy=1
add qos policy=1 trafficclass=1
set qos port=1 policy=1
You can view matching traffic at the port level with the command:
show qos port=1 count trafficclass
Protecting against rapid MAC movement
Rapid MAC movement protection detects excessive MAC
address learning on a specific switch port. Once excessive
Products
AT-8948
x900-48 Series
learning is detected, the switch stops learning MAC
addresses via the affected port.
AT-9900 Series
Rapid MAC movement mostly occurs because of a
broadcast storm, when one packet is storming around a
layer 2 network. Rapid MAC movement protection is
simpler to configure than QoS policy-based storm
protection but is not guaranteed to stop all the varieties of
broadcast storm.
AT-9924Ts
x900-24 Series
Software Versions
2.8. and later

Rapid MAC movement protection is on by default. The default action is to disable learning for
second. This gives the CPU of the switch some idle time, which may let a fast STP-type
1
protocol converge. You can change the amount of idle time to suit your network, or select a
different action.
Configuration To customise the protection:
on one or
more ports
1. Set the parameters in the following command:
set switch port=<ports> thrashaction={learndisable|linkdown|none|
portdisable|vlandisable} thrashtimeout={none|1..86400}
vlanstatustrap={on|off}
The parameter thrashaction specifies the switch’s response to rapid MAC movement:
z
z
z
z
learndisable makes the switch temporarily disable learning on the port.
linkdown makes the switch physically disable the port, so that the link goes down.
portdisable makes the switch logically disable the port, leaving the link up.
vlandisable makes the switch block traffic on only the VLAN on which the rapid
learning occurred.

Protecting the network
2. Set the sensitivity in detecting rapid MAC movement, by using the following command to
tell the switch how many times a MAC address can move ports in one second:
set switch thrashlimit=5..255
Configuration Rapid MAC movement protection also works with trunk groups. If one switch in a trunk fails,
on trunk the switches probably cannot negotiate STP or any other trunks that they belong to. This
groups immediately causes a broadcast storm. Rapid MAC movement protection on the other
switch in the trunk group detects such a storm because flooding of the same packet occurs
on all trunk ports connected to the failed switch.
For a static trunk, to make use of rapid MAC movement protection, create the trunk and
specify the optional thrashaction and thrashtimeout parameters:
create switch trunk=<name> port=<ports>
thrashaction={learndisable|linkdown|none|portdisable|
vlandisable} thrashtimeout={none|1..86400}
For a dynamic trunk using LACP, enable LACP, add ports, and set the optional thrashaction
and thrashtimeout parameters:
enable lacp
add lacp port=<ports>
set lacp thrashaction={learndisable|linkdown|none|portdisable|
vlandisable} thrashtimeout={none|1..86400}
Controlling multicast traffic
In a busy network, or one that has subscription-only access to multicast services, tight
per-port control of multicast traffic is required. IGMP makes multicasting fairly efficient, but
the extra control offered by AlliedWare helps increase efficiency.
When multicasting, it is essential to avoid filling the network with unnecessary multicast data
and to make sure that the clients who join a group are entitled to receive it. It is also
important to minimise delays in joining a group and to efficiently handle those who leave a
group.
The following sections outline some of the IGMP controls that are particularly relevant for
security. For detailed information on how to control IGMP in the network, see How To
Configure IGMP for Multicasting on Routers and Managed Layer 3 Switches. This How To Note is
IGMP snooping
IGMP snooping is enabled by default on Allied Telesis
managed layer 3 switches. IGMP snooping monitors the
streams and clients involved in each multicast group,
independent from IP itself. A snooping switch ensures that
only ports that are interested in a group are sent it. This
basic level of management works in tandem with the
subnetwork's IGMP querier and makes sure that the querier
gets notified of any client who wants to join the group.

IGMP filtering
IGMP filtering lets you dictate exactly which multicast
groups a specific port can receive, by creating a filter list and
applying it to the port. Different ports may have different
filter lists applied to them.
Products
All switches listed on page 2
that support 2.7.5 or later
Software Versions
If desired, you can select the type of message to filter. By
default, filters apply to IGMP reports. You can create extra
entries to also filter queries (type=query) and leave
messages (type=leave).
2.7.5 or later
Configuration For each port:
1. Work out which groups you want users on the port to be able to join.
2. Create an IGMP filter.
3. Create entries to allow the appropriate groups (action=include).
Note: The order of entries in a filter is important. When IGMP tries to match a message
to a filter, it performs a linear search of the filter to find a matching entry. It tries
each entry in turn, and stops processing the filter after the first match it finds.
4. Create an entry to block all groups (action=exclude). Give this entry a higher entry
number than entries for the included groups.
5. Apply the filter to the port.
Example To stop the user attached to port
1
from joining any group except 224.12.13.14:
create igmp filter=1
add igmp filter=1 entry=1 group=224.12.13.14 action=include
add igmp filter=1 entry=2 group=224.0.0.0-239.255.255.255
action=exclude
set switch port=1 igmpfilter=1

Throttling limits the number of multicast groups that an
individual port can join.

Managing the device securely
Managing the device securely
In Ethernet and broadcast networks the privacy of traffic is not guaranteed. Hubs and
networks outside the administrator's control may leak sensitive data to unwanted recipients.
A hacker may even be able to force a switch to flood unicast traffic.
Because you cannot guarantee traffic privacy, you cannot be certain that management
sessions are private. Therefore, you should always use encrypted sessions when remotely
administering network equipment, even in networks that you know well. The simplest way to
achieve this is with Secure Shell (SSH).
This section describes secure management:

Then the section ends by describing how to limit telnet access if you need to use telnet
When you are using a secure management scheme, we recommend that you block all telnet
access to the switch, by disabling the telnet server:

Using Secure Shell (SSH)
The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol is most simply described as

Configuration
1. Add a security officer to your switch’s list of users.
2. Create encryption keys for SSH to use.
3. Enable the SSH server.
Software Versions
All
4. Add the security officer to the list of SSH users and specify a password for it. Only users
in this list can use SSH to access the switch.
5. Enable system security.
Enabling system security makes telnet unavailable as an administrative interface—once you
have configured SSH, you have to use it.
Example To configure SSH access for the security officer called “secoff”:
add user=secoff password=securepass privilege=security telnet=yes
login=yes
create enco key=0 type=rsa length=1024 description="Host Key"
form=ssh
create enco key=1 type=rsa length=768 description="Server Key"

Using SNMPv3
Products

monitor networks.
Software Versions
Allied Telesis devices are SNMPv3 compliant. By using
SNMPv3, you can authenticate SNMP users and restrict
2.6.4 and later
their network access to parts of the network. SNMPv3 is
very flexible, as the examples in this section show.
Configuration 1. Enable SNMP.
2. Set up one or more SNMP views. Views list the objects in the MIB that users can see.
3. Set up one or more groups and add the groups to the views. Each group is a collection of
users who have the same access rights.
4. Set up one or more users and add them to the groups. Authentication parameters are set
here.
5. Set up a traphost profile, for trap messages to be remotely sent to. This is not compulsory
but we recommend it.

Whitelisting telnet hosts
For any remote management of a network device, Allied Telesis recommends you use SSH,
Secure HTTP (SSL), or SNMPv3. Therefore, we recommend you block all telnet access to
the switch by disabling the telnet server. However, if you persist with telnet, you should make
a whitelist of the hosts that are permitted to telnet to the switch. This does not make telnet
secure, but it does reduce the associated risks.
Building a whitelist through layer 3 filters
Products
On Rapier, Rapier i, AT-8800, AT-8700XL and AT-8600
Series switches, use layer 3 filters to build a whitelist.

3. Create another filter match definition with source and destination IP addresses, both with
32-bit masks.
4. Create filter entries for the second filter. In each entry, specify a permitted host as the
source and the switch’s IP address as the destination. Give the entries an action of nodrop.
The first filter blocks (action=deny) any incoming telnet packets with the switch’s
destination IP address. The second filter reverses the first filter by undoing the previous
denial of IP access to the switch—but only for the permitted source IP addresses.

Identifying the user
Identifying the user
This section describes methods for authorising and tracking users and preventing them from
changing their identity on the network.
IP spoofing and tracking
Unknown users who attempt to change IP address—to circumvent billing or to hide their
identity—can be a problem for administrators.
Changing IP address for malicious reasons is most commonly called IP spoofing, and is also
known as ARP spoofing, ARP poisoning, and ARP poison routing (APR). The net result is the
same for all of these: the victim ends up with false information in its ARP table.
The trouble with ARP
IP Spoofing takes advantage of the inherently insecure design of ARP. In an Ethernet network,
a client may use a Gratuitous ARP (GARP), or merely send an ARP request or reply with
false information, to announce a phoney identity to the local subnet.
A phoney announcement may be made in a number of ways for a number of reasons. The
following table briefly explains these factors.
If the ARP or GARP packet contains...
Then...
MAC that does not exist on network and
IP address that does not exist on network
the attacker may be trying to fill up the IP ARP table
so that the subnet’s router cannot learn more
addresses. As a result, return (routed) traffic may
not be forwarded.
MAC that is owned by attacker and
IP address that does not exist on network
the attacker is using an IP address that the
administrator has not assigned and so may be trying
to avoid traceability.
MAC that is owned by attacker and
IP address that is owned by another host
the attacker is trying to intercept traffic destined for
this host.
MAC that is owned by attacker and
IP address that is owned by the subnet router
the attacker is trying to intercept all traffic leaving
the subnet.
MAC does not exist on network and
IP address that exists on network
the attacker is trying to cause traffic to this IP
address to flood to all hosts in the subnet. However,
hosts disregard the flooded traffic because it is not
addressed with any host’s MAC address. This means
that the attacker receives the traffic and its intended
recipient ignores it.
The techniques for protecting the network are the same for all these phoney
announcements: reject gratuitous ARPs, and control access to ports with DHCP snooping
and ARP security. The following sections describe these solutions in detail.

Identifying the user
Rejecting Gratuitous ARP (GARP)
Products
Hosts can use GARP to announce their presence on a
subnet. It is a helpful mechanism, particularly when there is
a chance of duplicate addresses. However, attackers can use
GARP to penetrate the network by adding themselves to
the switch’s ARP table.
All switches listed on page 2
Software Versions
2.5.1 and later
You can configure Allied Telesis switches and routers to ignore GARP packets. Ignoring
GARPs does not completely prevent IP spoofing, but it does shut down one easy avenue for
an attacker.
Example To ignore GARPs on VLAN
1:
set ip interface=vlan1 gratuitousarp=off
Note: We do not recommend disabling GARP reception if a server with teamed network
cards is attached to the switch. In a teamed-NIC redundancy set-up, another card
takes over if a card fails. In many implementations, the NIC that takes over sends a
GARP to inform the switch of the port and MAC address change.

In short, DHCP snooping ensures IP integrity on an L2-

Software Versions
2.7.6 and later
With DHCP snooping, only a whitelist of IP addresses may
access the network. You configure this whitelist at the switch
port level, and the DHCP server manages the access control. Only specific IP addresses with
specific MAC addresses on specific ports may access the IP network.
DHCP snooping also stops attackers from adding their own DHCP servers to the network.
An attacker could set up a server to wreak havoc in the network or even control it.
There are a number of options for DHCP snooping. You can:

For more information about setting up DHCP snooping, see How To Use DHCP Snooping,
Option 82 and Filtering on Rapier, AT-8800 and AT-8600 Series Switches or How To Use DHCP
Snooping, Option 82 and Filtering on x900 Series Switches. These How To Notes are available
Setting up DHCP snooping
This section describes a minimal configuration for DHCP snooping. With this configuration,
the switch snoops DHCP packets to build a database of allowed IP addresses, only sends
DHCP messages to the port with the official DHCP server, and limits the number of clients
attached to each port.
Configuration 1. Enable DHCP snooping.
2. Identify the port that your DHCP server is attached to, and configure this as a trusted port
for DHCP snooping. The switch only sends DHCP discover and request packets to trusted
ports. If a malicious user attaches a DHCP server to an untrusted port, that server will
never receive DHCP requests. This prevents DHCP server spoofing.
3. Set the number of leases permitted on each port.
4. For AT-8948, x900-48, and AT-9900 switches, add classifiers and a quality of service (QoS)
configuration to permit and filter addresses.
Example To limit each port on a 24-port switch to
1
lease, when the DHCP server is on port 24:
enable dhcpsnooping
set dhcpsnooping port=24 trusted=yes
set dhcpsnooping port=1-23 maxlease=1
On AT-8948, x900-48 and AT-9900 switches, also add the following commands:
create classifier=50 macsaddr=dhcpsnooping prot=ip
ipsaddr=dhcpsnooping
create classifier=51 protocol=ip
create qos policy=1
create qos trafficclass=1
create qos flow=50 action=forward
create qos flow=51 action=discard
add qos policy=1 trafficclass=1
set qos port=1-23 policy=1
add qos trafficclass=1 flow=50
add qos trafficclass=1 flow=51
add qos flow=50 classifier=50
add qos flow=51 classifier=51
Using static binding for rigid control
If there is no DHCP server, or if there is a host with a static IP address, then you can bind the
IP address to the port to which it is attached.
Example To specify that the host with MAC address 00-00-00-00-00-
12 can legitimately use the IP
address 72. 6.0. 2 on port 2, use the following command in addition to the configuration

Identifying the user
Using DHCP snooping to track clients
If your DHCP server supports it, you can use “option 82” to record more information about
DHCP clients. This enhances your ability to track users. The switch can pass option 82
information to the DHCP server so that the server can record the switch MAC, switch port,
VLAN number and subscriber-ID that the client is a member of.
Example To pass option 82 information to the server, including the information that port
1
is room
1
01
, use the following commands in addition to the configuration given in “Setting up DHCP
enable dhcpsnooping option82
set dhcpsnooping port=1 subscriberid="Room 101"
Using ARP security
When you enable ARP security, the switch drops ARP packets received on non-trusted
(client) ports unless the packets originate from an IP address that is registered in the DHCP
snooping database.
ARP security stops clients that are directly attached to the switch from using IP spoofing or
ARP poisoning. It also protects directly-attached clients from IP spoofing and ARP poisoning.
Example To turn on ARP security, use the following command in addition to the configuration given in
“Setting up DHCP snooping”, above.
enable dhcpsnooping arpsecurity

an Ethernet port.
Software Versions
2.6.1 and later
Unlike DHCP snooping, 802.1x only authenticates users
when they access the port. It cannot track them afterwards.
A network controller, such as a RADIUS server, controls the authentication. The Allied
Telesis switch facilitates the host to server communication and takes note of success or
failure. Essentially, the host is completely denied access to the Ethernet until the switch sees
the host successfully authenticate with the server. After that, the switch allows packets to
and from the host to pass through the 802.1x controlled port.

Using private VLANs
Products
Private VLANs are an excellent way of preventing hosts on
a subnet from attacking each other. Essentially, each switch
port is isolated from other ports in the VLAN, but can
access another network through an uplink port or uplink
trunk group. All traffic between private ports is blocked, not
just Layer 2 traffic.

private port in some VLANs and a non-private
port in others.

This allows you to use private VLANs on
switches that are connected in a ring topology. Also, you can group private
ports together on these switches, which allows the ports in a group to
communicate with each other but not with other ports in the VLAN.

Note that ports are only isolated from ports on the same physical switch, not
from ports on other switches reached through an uplink port.
Configuration 1. Create the VLAN, specifying that it is private.
2. Add the uplink port, or the ports in the uplink trunk group, to the VLAN. For a trunk
group, the ports must already be trunked together, and you must specify all the ports in
the trunk group. Note that on Rapier 48i and AT-8748XL switches, the uplink and private
ports must be in the same switch instance. See the Switching chapter of the Software
Reference for more information about switch instances.
3. Add the private ports to the VLAN.

To remove ports from the VLAN:
# remove port 4:

# remove all private ports and the uplink ports:
delete vlan=2 port=all
Using local proxy ARP and MAC-forced forwarding
Both these features ensure the integrity of ARP in your network and let you take granular
control of IP traffic flows. They do this by forcing traffic that would have been dropped by
private VLANs to go via an access router. Both features stop hosts from learning the MAC
addresses of other hosts in their subnet—they learn the MAC address of the access router
instead.
You can use these features, for example, to allow customers to use VoIP to telephone each
other while blocking any video, data, or management traffic between customers.

With software versions 291-05 and later, you can use MAC-forced forwarding without

maximum security.

Local proxy ARP
In a network configuration like the previous figure, each
edge switch uses private VLANs to stop clients from talking
directly to each other. Private VLANs stop the edge switch
from flooding broadcast traffic, including clients’ ARP
requests. Instead, the switch sends ARP requests out its
uplink port to the access router.
Products
All switches listed on page 2
Software Versions
2.9. or later

If local proxy ARP is configured on the access router, then the access router responds to
ARP requests with its own MAC address, instead of the destination device’s MAC address.
This combination of private VLANs and local proxy ARP forces the clients to send all their
traffic to the access router. When the access router sees traffic from a client, it checks a list
of filters to determine whether to forward the traffic or drop it.
On each client residential gateway, you need to enable tagged VLANs on the connection to
the edge switch for the VLANs that the client should be able to access.

Protecting against worms
In the recent history of the Internet, the danger has shifted from viruses to worms. Viruses
need humans to transfer them from system to system, for example, by downloading a
program. Worms transfer themselves from system to system without human interaction. The
most successful worms exploit Microsoft Windows vulnerabilities because of the prevalence
of these operating systems. Commonly, a worm causes the same kind of damage to a system
as a virus.
Worms and viruses generally exploit flaws in PC operating systems. There are no known
worms that affect AlliedWare. In fact, you can configure Allied Telesis switches to protect
your network PCs and servers from both internal and external attack from worms.
In an Allied Telesis switched network (where no hubs exist), the switches can forward or
drop every packet on the basis of specific criteria. You can employ this packet inspection at
no cost to network performance. Therefore, you can configure an Allied Telesis switch to
check for packets that appear to exploit a TCP or UDP port that a known worm attacks.
This worm caused significant denial of service problems several years ago. It propagates via
UDP Port 1434, which is the port used by SQL server traffic. All network administrators
should have patched their SQL Server 2000 systems against this worm, but we will use it as
an example.
Blocking worms through classifier-based filters

On these switches, AlliedWare classifiers offer a large range of matchable fields, including
destination port, source port, IPX, interface, TOS, DSCP value, and MAC source or
destination addresses. Once the classifier has selected a matched packet, what happens to it
can vary from discarding or forwarding it, to marking the DSCP value, and many other
alternatives.
