Database Security Demands
Student Name _________________________________ Date _____________
Database Server Security Demands – iLab3
Objectives
In this lab, the students will examine the following objectives.
· Become familiar with well-known and ephemeral ports
· Create ACL to meet requirements on database security demands
· Learn best practices to create and apply ACLs.
Scenario
A small company is using the topology shown below. The Public Server is actually an off-site Database Server that contains company records. Assume that the 200.100.0.0/16 network represents the Internet. The Dallas and Chicago Servers and hosts need to access the database server securely. Only users in the Dallas and Chicago LANs should be able to access the database server.
Topology
The last page of the lab assignment document contains a full-page topology. Remove this page and use it for reference to the topology and the IP addresses.
Initial Configuration
The Dallas, Chicago, and ISP Routers’ FastEthernet and Serial interfaces used for the lab have been correctly configured and enabled. Unused interfaces have been shutdown. The RIP routing tables are complete for all routers and hosts. No ACLs have been applied to any of the routers. Below is the initial running-config file in ISP router.

Task to Set up Security Policy for Offsite Database Server
The following requirements were given to the network engineer to create and apply ACL 100 in ISP router
1. Permit SQL database traffic from the Public server to the Dallas Host.
2. Permit SQL database traffic from the Public server to the Dallas Server.
3. Permit SQL database traffic from the Public server to the Chicago Host.
4. Permit SQL database traffic from the Public server to the Chicago Server.
5. Deny all other TCP traffic from the Public server to any destination.
6. Permit all other traffic.
#1. Explain the meaning of the "three P's" best practice rule to create ACL in routers
#2. Explain the difference between the following two access-list commands
a) access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq 80
b) access-list 101 permit tcp any eq 80 any
#3. What are well-known, registered, and ephemeral UDP/TCP ports?
#4. What is wrong with ACL 105?
access-list 105 permit tcp any any
access-list 105 deny tcp host 201.141.0.3 any
#5. What well-known TCP port does Oracle Database (sql net) server use?
#6. A company is managing an Oracle Database located in a Public Server to support day-to-day operations in Dallas and Chicago networks. The company has requested its Internet Access Provider (ISP) to create the necessary ACL at the ISP router securing that only responses from Oracle server to certain hosts are allowed to enter Dallas and Chicago LANs.
ISP network engineers decided to use extended ACL, and applies it to F0/0 interface in ISP router. Why did they decide to create an extended ACL and apply it in interface F0/0 for inbound traffic?
Answer all questions in the iLab Report document and upload it in Week 3 iLab Dropbox.
