SGACL Policy Configuration Process

SGACL Policy Configuration Process

Follow these steps to configure and enable Cisco TrustSec SGACL policies:

Step 1 Configuration of SGACL policies should be done primarily through the Policy Management function of

the Cisco Secure ACS or the Cisco Identity Services Engine (see the Configuration Guide for the Cisco

Secure ACS or the Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide).

If you are not using AAA on a Cisco Secure ACS or a Cisco ISE to download the SGACL policy
configuration, you can manually configure the SGACL mapping and policies (see the “Manually

Configuring SGACL Policies” section on page 5-4 and the “Manually Configuring SGACL Policies”
section on page 5-4).

Note An SGACL policy downloaded dynamically from the Cisco Secure ACS or a Cisco ISE will

override any conflicting locally-defined policy.

Step 2 To enable SGACL policy enforcement on egress traffic on routed ports, enable SGACL policy

enforcement globally as described in the “Enabling SGACL Policy Enforcement Globally” section on

page 5-2.

Step 3 To enable SGACL policy enforcement on switched traffic within a VLAN, or on traffic that is forwarded

to an SVI associated with a VLAN, enable SGACL policy enforcement for specific VLANs as described
in the “Enabling SGACL Policy Enforcement on VLANs” section on page 5-3.

Chapter 5 Configuring SGACL Policies

Enabling SGACL Policy Enforcement Globally

Enabling SGACL Policy Enforcement on VLANs

You must enable SGACL policy enforcement on specific VLANs to apply access control to switched
traffic within a VLAN, or to traffic that is forwarded to an SVI associated with a VLAN.

To enable SGACL policy enforcement on a VLAN or a VLAN list, perform this task:

Detailed Steps Catalyst 6500

Manually Configuring SGACL Policies

Manually Configuring SGACL Policies

A role-based access control list bound to a range of SGTs and DGTs forms an SGACL, a TrustSec policy
enforced on egress traffic. Configuration of SGACL policies are best done through the policy
management functions of the Cisco ISE or the Cisco Secure ACS. To manually (that is, locally)
configure SGACL policies, do the following:

1. Configure a role-based ACL.

2. Bind the role-based ACL to a range of SGTs.

Note An SGACL policy downloaded dynamically from the Cisco ISE or Cisco ACS overrides any conflicting

manually configured policy.

Chapter 5 Configuring SGACL Policies

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Command Purpose

Router# configure terminal

ip access-list role-based rbacl-name

Enters global configuration mode.

Creates a Role-based ACL and enters Role-based ACL
configuration mode.

Example:

Switch(config)# ip access-list
role-based allow_webtraff

{[sequence-number] | default | permit |
deny | remark}

Specifies the access control entries (ACEs) for the
RBACL.

You can use most of the commands and options
allowed in extended named access list configuration
mode, with the source and destination fields omitted.

Press Enter to complete an ACE and begin the next.

For full explanations of ACL configuration, keywords,
and options, see, Security Configuration Guide:

Access Control Lists, Cisco IOS XE Release 3S.

The following ACE commands or keywords are not
supported:

Example:

Switch(config-rb-acl)#10 permit tcp dst
eq 80 dst eq 20

Switch(config-rb-acl)# exit

• reflect

• evaluate

• time-range

Exits to global configuration mode.

Chapter 5 Configuring SGACL Policies

Command Purpose

Step 5

[no] cts role-based permissions {default
|[from {sgt_num | unknown} to {dgt_num |
unknown}]{rbacls | ipv4 rbacls}

Example:

Switch(config)# cts role-based
permissions from 55 to 66 allow_webtraff

Step 6

Step 7

Step 8

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show cts role-based permissions

Switch# show ip access-lists

allow_webtraff

Manually Configuring SGACL Policies

Binds SGTs and DGTs to the RBACL. The
configuration is analogous to populating the
permission matrix configured on the Cisco ISE or the
Cisco Secure ACS.

• Default—Default permissions list

• sgt_num—0 to 65,519. Source Group Tag

• dgt_num—0 to 65,519. Destination Group Tag

• unknown—SGACL applies to packets where the

security group (source or destination) cannot be
determined.

• ipv4—Indicates the following RBACL is IPv4.

• rbacls—Name of RBACLs

Exits to Privileged Exec mode.

Displays permission to RBACL configurations.

Displays ACEs of all RBACLs or a specified RBACL.

Configuration Examples for Manually Configuring SGACL Policies

Catalyst 3850 IPv4 Manual SGACL policy:

Switch(config)# ip access role allow_webtraff
Switch(config-rb-acl)# 10 permit tcp dst eq 80
Switch(config-rb-acl)# 20 permit tcp dst eq 443
Switch(config-rb-acl)# 30 permit icmp
Switch(config-rb-acl)# 40 deny ip
Switch(config-rb-acl)# exit
Switch(config)# cts role-based permissions from 55 to 66 allow_webtraff
Switch# show ip access allow_webtraff

Role-based IP access list allow_webtraff
10 permit tcp dst eq www
20 permit tcp dst eq 443
30 permit icmp
40 deny ip
Switch# show show cts role-based permissions from 50 to 70
XXX need output XX

Displaying SGACL Policies

Displaying SGACL Policies

After configuring the Cisco TrustSec device credentials and AAA, you can verify the Cisco TrustSec
SGACL policies downloaded from the authentication server or configured manually. Cisco TrustSec
downloads the SGACL policies when it learns of a new SGT through authentication and authorization
on an interface, from SXP, or from manual IP address to SGT mapping.

To display the contents of the SGACL policies permissions matrix, perform this task:

Detailed Steps for Catalyst 6500

Command Purpose

Step 1

Router# show cts role-based permissions
default [ipv4 | ipv6 | details]

Router# show cts role-based permissions
[from {source-sgt | unknown}] [to {dest-sg
| unknown}] [ipv4 | ipv6] [details]

Chapter 5 Configuring SGACL Policies

Displays the list of SGACL of the default policy.

Displays the contents of the permissions matrix,
including SGACLs downloaded from the
authentication server and manually configured on
the switch.

Using the keywords, you can display all or part of the permissions matrix:

• If the from keyword is omitted, a column from the permissions matrix is displayed.

• If the to keyword is omitted, a row from the permissions matrix is displayed.

• If the from and to keywords are omitted, the entire permissions matrix is displayed.

• If the from and to keywords are specified, a single cell from the permissions matrix is displayed and

the details keyword is available. When details is entered, the ACEs of the SGACL of the single cell
are displayed.

This example shows how to display the content of the SGACL policies permissions matrix for traffic
sourced from security group 3:

Router# show cts role-based permissions from 3
Role-based permissions from group 3 to group 5:
SRB3
SRB5
Role-based permissions from group 3 to group 7:
SRB4

Refreshing the Downloaded SGACL Policies

Detailed Steps for Catalyst 6500, Catalyst 3850, Catalyst 3650

Command Purpose

Step 1

cts refresh policy {peer [peer-id]
| sgt [sgt_number|
default|unknown]}

Switch3850# cts refresh policy

peer my_cisco_ise

Performs an immediate refresh of the SGACL policies from
the authentication server.

• If a peer-id is specified, only the policies related to the

specified peer connection are refreshed. To refresh all
peer policies, press Enter without specifying an ID.

• If an SGT number is specified, only the policies related

to that SGT are refreshed. To refresh all security group
tag policies, press Enter without specifying an SGT
number. Select default to refresh the default policy.
Select unknown to refresh unknown policy.
