Technologies to implement secure management network
Once the design is in place, technologies are required to implement the network and ensure its security. There are certain technologies that are required to implement network security. Here, the discussion shall include a special focus on Cisco IOS devices. The technologies are as follows:
- Syslog protocol
- Network time protocol
- Simple Network Management Protocol
Syslog protocol
The syslog standard acts as a transport, facilitating a device to send notification messages through IP networks to syslog servers that receive the messages. Unlike the TCP protocol, in syslog, the receiver does not send an acknowledgement of the message received. This is basically because syslog uses the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 514
. As UDP is a connectionless protocol, it does not provide any acknowledgements. Therefore, the sending device does not have an indication about the receipt of messages by the receiving syslog server and keeps generating messages.
