Question 1 With the changing networks, there is need to protect once devices. New technology has emerged such as intrusion detection system, the honey ports and intrusion prevention systems. Below ar ... e steps whish one can use to protect their rooter (Cisco fattens security product line, 2004). First is to control access to the router. This can be done by applying riles that prohibit other external devices from accessing external parts of the router. Secondly, one has to restrict the telnet access to the rooter. Though it is not a very safe protocol to use, though if one wants to really use the protocol one should always use “ssh” the best way to do this is by employing the standard access class and list (Cisco fattens security product line, 2004).A good example is shown below. Then one need to block malicious and spoof pocket This will restrict the access of reserved/loopback IP addresses that comes from the internet to access your external interface and one can be able reject multicast and broadcast too, as shown below. The fourth step is encrypting the entire password. This is very important action in order to protect all the password to hacking and this should be done with the most powerful logarithm possible. The passwords that are from the exe mode that are used to guarantee the privileged access to IOS system should be set using MD5 which provides the strongest option for a cisco IOS.

First is to set your computer to have a static IP address to ensure efficient IP address filtering 2. Second on need to open a web page and they should type their router IP (default is 192.168.1.1) in the address bar and they should press enter 3. The third step is to type the user name and password to log in the web page 4. Then click on the security>firewall 5.
