Configuring IOS firewall Zone Based REMOTELY

ROBERTO TACCON
Level 4
Level 4

Hi to all,

need to deploy the folling IOS firewall Zone Based configuration to a running remotely router.

I'M CONNECTED WITH SSH ...

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE WITHOUT DISCONNETING ME ?

(I know the reload command and also the rollback command).

Q1) When I try to insert on the 1st interface the "zone-member security trust" or "zone-member security untrust" I LOST THE ROUTER CAUSE THE OTHER INTERFACES ARE NOT CONFIGURED: HOW I CAN ACTIVATE THE ZONE-MEMBER COMMAND ON THE ROUTER WITHOUT LOST IT ?

Q2) it's possible (like Juniper JUNOS) made alla the new configuration and execute the "commit now" when I've finished ?

Q3) Is there any other feature on cisco IOS to allow to configure the router, check the configuration and only AFTER put it on the running config (the only tip i?ve found is to modify the startup config and load in or merge the running config with another conf...)?

* FOLLOWING THE NEW LINES CONFIGURATION:

!

class-map type inspect match-any untrust-trust-cmap

match protocol telnet

match protocol ssh

!

policy-map type inspect untrust-trust-pmap

class type inspect untrust-trust-cmap

inspect

class class-default

!

!

class-map type inspect match-any trust-untrust-cmap

match protocol tcp

match protocol udp

!

!

policy-map type inspect trust-untrust-pmap

class type inspect trust-untrust-cmap

inspect

class class-default

!

zone security trust

zone security untrust

!

zone-pair security trust-untrust source trust destination untrust

service-policy type inspect trust-untrust-pmap

!

zone-pair security untrust-trust source untrust destination trust

service-policy type inspect untrust-trust-pmap

!

interface FastEthernet0/0

zone-member security trust

int dialer 0

zone-member security untrust

interface ATM0/0

zone-member security untrust

Regards.

1) You can't

2) I wish Cisco had that feature too

3) Not that I know of

The tip you have received is the only way I can think to do it. You don't need to modify the startup config. Enter the commands you want to configure the firewall in a text editor. Save the file and copy it to the flash directory on the router. Then copy the file from flash into running config. Do not save the config via the text file! You will lose connectivity, but if you did everything correctly you should be able to get back in. Of course this is pretty high risk. I would suggest entering reload in 15 which would reload the router in 15 minutes in case the config merge fails.
