DRP Server

Configuring the DRP Server Agent

Perform the following tasks on a Cisco router in global configuration mode to configure the router as a DRP server agent:


Note   The router must support the DRP protocol, which is present in Cisco IOS versions 11.2(4)F and later.

Task

Command

Step 1 Turn on the DRP agent.

ip drp server

Step 2 Enable security for DRP by defining a standard access list that permits requests from the Director only.

access-list number permit [Director-IP-address]
access-list number deny any

Step 3 Ensure that the router accepts DRP queries from the IP addresses associated with the standard access list only.

ip drp access-group access-list-number

Set up Message Digest (MD5) authentication with passwords as another security measure.
 

Step 4 Enable the DRP authentication key chain.

ip drp authentication key-chain name-of-chain

Step 5 Set up a key chain, using the same name used in the prior step.

key chain name-of-chain
key number
key-string text
exit

This sets up an authentication key chain containing one key.

Step 6 Check the configuration with the EXEC command.

show ip drp



The key chain is an encrypted password that helps prevent DRP-based denial-of-service attacks, which can be a security threat. The key chain, a string of characters without spaces, must match the key chain of the Directors it communicates with. If MD5 authentication is configured on a DRP server agent, the Director must be similarly configured to recognize messages from that MD5 authentication-configured DRP server agent, and any other DRP server agents configured for MD5 authentication.

Configuring additional DRP server agents for MD5 authentication is optional.

The following show ip drp output example indicates that all 30 requests were successfully looked up and replied to. If any requests had been denied due to MD5 authorization failing or because of access lists, then "failures" would report denied requests.

30 director requests, 30 successful lookups, 0 failures

Sample Configuration

This section shows a sample configuration, using the network arrangement in .

Figure 5-1 Sample Network Arrangement

For each router shown in , you would turn on the DRP server agent with the following global configuration command:

ip drp server

To set up security, you might enter the following global configuration commands on each router.

To set up an access list, you would enter these global configuration commands:

access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.1 
access-list 1 deny any

Then enter the following global configuration command to ensure that the router accepts DRP queries from the IP addresses associated with the access list only:

ip drp access-group 1
