Lab 4.2.3 Analyzing Network Traffic
Task 1: Design Network Access to FTP and Email Services
Step 1: FTP network considerations
File transfer traffic can put high-volume traffic onto the network. This traffic can have a greater effect on
throughput than interactive end-to-end connections. Although file transfers are throughput-intensive, they
typically have low response-time requirements. As part of the initial characterization of the network, it is important to identify the level of FTP traffic that will be generated. From this information, the network designers can decide on throughput and redundancy requirements.
a. List possible file transfer applications that would generate traffic on the FilmCompany network.
Document sharing
Video production file transfer
b. List these applications by priority based on response time.
1. Video production file transfer
2. Document sharing
c. List these applications by priority based on bandwidth requirements.
1. Video production file transfer
2. Document sharing
Step 2: Email network considerations
Although customers expect immediate access to their emails, they usually do not expect emails to have
network priority over files that they are sharing or updating. Emails are expected to be delivered reliably and accurately. Generally, emails are not throughput-intensive, except when there are enterprise-wide mail-outs or there is a denial of service attack.
List some email policies that could control the volume of email data and the bandwidth used.
Membatasi ukuran lampiran email
Membatasi nomor penerima pesan email
Memastikan spam terfilter sebelum menjangkau LAN
Step 3: Configure and connect the host PCs
a. Set the IP addresses for PC1 and PC2 as shown in the configuration table.
b. Establish a terminal session to router R1 from one of the PCs, and configure the interfaces and hostname as shown in the configuration table.
Task 2: Configure NBAR to Examine Network Traffic
Step 1: Enable NBAR Protocol Discovery
NBAR can determine which protocols and applications are currently running on a network. NBAR includes the Protocol Discovery feature, which identifies the application protocols operating on an interface so that appropriate QoS policies can be developed and applied. To enable Protocol Discovery to monitor selected protocols on a router interface, issue the following commands from the global configuration mode:
FC-CPE-1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
FC-CPE-1(config-if)#ip nbar protocol-discovery
Step 2: Confirm that Protocol Discovery is configured
From the privileged EXEC mode, issue the show running-config command and confirm that the following output appears under interface FastEthernet 0/0:
interface FastEthernet0/0
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
ip nbar protocol-discovery
If protocol-discovery is not confirmed, reissue the configuration commands for interface FastEthernet
0/0.
Task 3: Generate and Identify Network Traffic
Step 1: Generate FTP traffic
The Mozilla Thunderbird email client program will be downloaded from Discovery Server as an example of FTP.
a. On PC1, launch a web browser and enter the URL ftp://server.discovery.ccna,
Alternatively, from the command line, enter ftp server.discovery.ccna. If DNS is not configured the IP address 172.17.1.1 must be used instead of the domain name.
b. Locate the file thunderbird_setup.exe in the pub directory, download the file, and save it on PC1.
Repeat this step for PC2.
Step 2: Generate Email traffic
If the Thunderbird email client has been installed and email accounts set up on both PC1 and PC2, proceed to Step 2d. Otherwise, install and set up the email client on PC1 and PC2 as described in Steps 2a through 2c.
a. Install the Thunderbird email client on PC1 and PC2 by double-clicking the downloaded
thunderbird_setup.exe file and accepting the default settings.
b. When the installation has completed, launch the program.
c. Configure email account settings as shown in this table.
1) On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
2)
3)
Complete the required Thunderbird Account Settings.
In the left pane of the Account Settings screen, click Server Settings and complete the
necessary details.
4) In the left pane, click Outgoing Server (SMTP) and complete the proper configuration for the
Outgoing Server (SMTP).
d. Send and receive two emails between accounts on each PC.
Step 3: Display the NBAR results
With Protocol Discovery enabled, any protocol traffic supported by NBAR, as well as the statistics associated with that protocol, can be discovered.
a. To display the traffic identified by NBAR, issue the show ip nbar protocol-discovery command from the privileged EXEC mode.
FC-CPE-1#show ip nbar protocol-discovery
b. List each protocol identified and the Input and Output information.
Output:
ftp 18 16
1295 1288
0 0
0 0
c. Although the data traffic in this lab may not be sufficient to generate values for the 5min Bit rate (bps) and 5min Max Bit Rate (bps) fields, consider and discuss how these values would be applied to designing an FTP and email network.

Step 4: Use NBAR to monitor other data traffic
NBAR can identify and monitor a range of network application traffic protocols.
From the privileged EXEC mode of the router, issue the command show ip nbar port-map and note the output displayed.
FC-CPE-1#show ip nbar port-map
List some protocols that you consider should be monitored and policies applied to.

Challenge
This lab considered only the volume of FTP and email data traffic and its impact on network design. Reliable access to servers is also important. In the space below, sketch a revised topology for this lab that would provide redundancy for these services.
