Hello everyone,

To ensure service security, firewalls are deployed at the front end before services are connected to the Internet to improve service security.

However, if the firewall itself is used, the channel for logging in to the device from the Internet must be enabled so that the device can be remotely commissioned and modified through the Internet.

However, once the Internet login channel is enabled on the firewall, a large number of malicious scans and login attempts are immediately encountered, which may cause VTY occupation, making it difficult to log in to normal devices. The firewall logs show that a large number of login attempts fail.

However, the administrator does not have a specific source IP address (public IP address) when logging in to the firewall through the Internet. Therefore, it is difficult to restrict the range of IP addresses that can be logged in by using the source IP address ACL.

In this case, how to improve the security and maintainability of the firewall?

Please help me! Thank you!

Hi Rengar,
The analysis is performed from the following aspects:
Separation of functions: Separate deployment of the service traffic firewall and firewall for preventing Internet attacks is effective. The function of the external firewall is similar to that of the anti-DDoS device.
2) VTY: VTY is a concept closer to the control plane. Before the authentication or authorization fails, all failed logins do not occupy the VTY.
3) Hidden: It is difficult to determine whether the public IP address is dialed during remote debugging. Generally, the SSL VPN is connected to the device, and the private IP address is used for configuration and commissioning. Therefore, the TCP/UDP ports that need to be disabled for public IP addresses must be disabled.
4) Feature: The ASA provides a feature for the same user to lock the password after the number of failed attempts to prevent brute force cracking.
I hope it helps!
