Time-based access-list is type of access-list which allows
network access on the basis of given time period. It is useful when you want to
place restrictions on outbound or inbound traffic on the basis of particular day
and time periods.
Sometimes it may be useful if you want to block particular
traffic on specific days or during business hours.
Time-based access-list
Time-based access-list is Easy to implement and Its provides good control over the network traffic to an admin as the traffic can be denied or permitted on the basis of time.
lets configure Time-based access-list
Topology:
configure the topology as per the diagram
configure IP addresses to their ports
configure EIGRP AS 65100 for routing
make sure PC communicate loopback 0 172.16.1.1 network before configure Time-based access-list .
configure Time-based access-list on router 1 and block PC ICMP msg for 172.16.1.1 network.
Network time protocol provides pretty much what its name says time. provide correct time to all network devices. in other words, NTP synchronizes the clock of the computer system over packet switch, variable-latency data networks. Correct network time within the network is important.
Correct time allows the tracking of the event in the network in
the correct order. Cock synchronize is critical for the correct interpretation
of events within the Syslog data.
Advantages of NTP :
It provides internet synchronization between the computer devices.
NTP provides enhanced security within the premises.
NTP is used in authentication systems.
NTP provides network
acceleration which helps in troubleshooting problems.
let's see the configuration on the router:
Topology:
Goal :
configure the topology as per the diagram above.
configure the IP addresses to their ports
configure routing with EIGRP AS 65100 and advertise all the ports
configure NTP on router 3, server address will loopback 0
make sure the rest of the routers get time which is provided by our NTP server.
