How to block RDP Access from a Router

kumar86rakesh
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

We have a mail server on which  we have two NIC installed one NIC use for public and other one use for private network.

On public network int we have given a static IP which is provided by our ISP and its directly connected with a WAN Router.

On private network int we directly connected our primary mail server.

So is there any option to block Server RDP from Router side because everyday some outsider try to connect our server.

We have tried to block RDP from windows firewall but its not worked.

On router we have added below command to block RDP but its not worked.

ip access-list extended icmp
 permit tcp any host 10.XX.XX.XX eq 3389  (primary mail Server IP)
 deny   icmp any any echo
 deny   tcp any host 12.XX.XX.XX eq 3389 ( Secondry mail Server IP on which we want to block RDP from outside)
 permit ip any any
!

Please help me out this problem.

Thanks & Regards

Rakesh Kumar

Hi there,

What interface have you configured this ACL on and how is the access-group statement written?

cheers,

Seb.

Hi Rupik,

We dont use any acccess list on WAN router and I am also not very expert about router operation and this router was configured by our ISP.

Please find the attached sho run result for better understanding.

Hello again,

The 'permit ip any any' statement makes much of your ACL redundant. With it there is no need for for any of the 'permit' statements. I suggest you remove it so that the implicit deny is restored.

If you think that you need it, can you provide the output of 'sh ip route'. Perhaps external devices are able to connect to the internal 10.XX.XX.XX address.

cheers,

Seb.

Hello

Not sure I understand this configuration, Do you have overlapping addressing here or do you have two allocated public address scopes from the ISP?

interface Serial0/0/0
 description ### Airtel Uplink ###

ip route 125.XX.XX.XX  255.255.255.240 125.XX.XX.XX
