A demilitarized zone (DMZ), also called a screened subnet, is a buffer network (or subnet) that sits between the private network and an untrusted network (such as the Internet).

demilitarized zone (DMZ)

When you create an ACL on a Cisco device, a deny any statement is automatically added at the end of the list (this statement does not appear in the list itself). For a list to allow any traffic, it must have at least one permit statement that either permits a specific traffic type or permits all traffic not specifically restricted.

deny any statement

Publicly accessible resources (servers) are placed inside the screened subnet. Examples of publicly accessible resources include web, FTP, or email servers.

what is placed inside the screened subnet

*ACLs describe the traffic type that will be controlled. ACL entries: **Describe traffic characteristics. **Identify permitted and denied traffic. **Can describe a specific traffic type, or allow or restrict all traffic. *When created, an ACL usually contains an implicit deny any entry at the end of the list. *Each ACL applies only to a specific protocol. *Each router interface can have up to two ACLs for each protocol: one for incoming traffic and one for outgoing traffic. *When an ACL is applied to an interface, it identifies whether the list restricts incoming or outgoing traffic. *Each ACL can be applied to more than one interface. However, each interface can have only one incoming and one outgoing list. *ACLs can be used to log traffic that matches the list statements.

Firewalls use access control lists (ACLs) to manage incoming or outgoing traffic. You should be familiar with the following characteristics of an ACL

If the firewall managing traffic into the DMZ fails, only the servers in the DMZ are subject to compromise. The LAN is protected by default.

If the firewall managing traffic into the DMZ fails

Do not place any server in the DMZ that doesn't have to be there.

Many hardware routers, such as those from Cisco, also provide a packet filtering firewall. These devices are frequently used to fill both network roles (router and firewall) at the same time.

Extended ACLs: Can filter by: **Source IP protocol (IP, TCP, UDP, etc.) **Source hostname or host IP address **Source or destination socket number **Destination hostname or host IP address **Precedence or TOS values *Should be placed as close to the source as possible. *Use the following number ranges: **100-199 **2000-2699

Extended ACL

Packet filters on the outer firewall allow traffic directed to the public resources inside the DMZ. Packet filters on the inner firewall prevent unauthorized traffic from reaching the private network.

Packet filters on the outer firewall

When designing the outer firewall packet filters, a common practice is to close all ports and open only those ports necessary for accessing the public resources inside the DMZ.

A common practice

Standard ACLs: *Can filter only on source hostname or host IP address. *Should be placed as close to the destination as possible. *Use the following number ranges: **1-99 **1300-1999

Standard ACL

*Configure two firewall devices: one connected to the public network and one connected to the private network. *Configure a single device with three network cards: one connected to the public network, one connected to the private network, and one connected to the screened subnet. *Configure a single device with two network cards: one connected to the public network and another connected to a private subnet containing hosts that are accessible from the private network. Configure proxy AR so the public interface of the firewall device responds to ARP requests for the public IP address of the device.

The DMZ is created using the following configurations

*A routed firewall, is also a Layer 3 router. In fact, many hardware routers include firewall functionality. Transmitting data through this type of firewall counts as a router hop. A routed firewall usually supports multiple interfaces, each connected to a different network segment. *A transparent firewall, also called a virtual firewall, operates at Layer 2 and is not seen as a router hop by connected devices. Both the internal and external interfaces on a transparent firewall connect to the same network segment. Because it is not a router, you can easily introduce a transparent firewall into an existing network.

There are two types of firewalls that you can implement

Typically, firewalls allow traffic originating in the secured internal network into the DMZ and through to the Internet. Traffic that originates in the DMZ (low security area) or the Internet (no security area) should not be allowed access to the intranet (high security area).
