Snat

These scenarios show how to configure SNAT (Source Network Address Translation) on OSDx.

Test SNAT 

Description 

In this scenario, DUT0 modifies the source address of outgoing packets generated at the LAN side. The address is translated to a custom one: 10.0.0.1.

Scenario 

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 selector SEL
set traffic selector SEL rule 1 protocol tcp,udp
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 address 10.0.0.2

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.22/24

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.2/24
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.100.1

Step 4: Ping IP address 192.168.100.2 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 192.168.100.2 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Step 5: Ping IP address 10.0.0.22 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.22 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Step 6: Initiate a tcp connection from DUT2 to DUT1 and try to send some messages between both endpoints

admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection server 8080 tcp
admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.22 8080 tcp

Step 7: Initiate a udp connection from DUT2 to DUT1 and try to send some messages between both endpoints

admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection server 5050 udp
admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.22 5050 udp

Step 8: Run command system conntrack show nat at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

src=192.168.100.2 dst=10.0.0.22
src=10.0.0.22 dst=10.0.0.2

This scenario is similar to the previous one, but when masquerade is specified, the route uses the IP address of the outgoing interface. Therefore, masquerading should be configured if the outgoing interface uses a dynamic IP address.

Scenario 

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 selector SEL
set traffic selector SEL rule 1 protocol tcp,udp
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 address masquerade

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.22/24

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.2/24
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 192.168.100.1

Step 4: Ping IP address 192.168.100.2 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 192.168.100.2 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Step 5: Ping IP address 10.0.0.22 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 10.0.0.22 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Step 6: Initiate a tcp connection from DUT2 to DUT1 and try to send some messages between both endpoints

admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection server 8080 tcp
admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.22 8080 tcp

Step 7: Initiate a udp connection from DUT2 to DUT1 and try to send some messages between both endpoints

admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection server 5050 udp
admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.22 5050 udp

Step 8: Run command system conntrack show nat at DUT0 and check if output contains the following tokens:

src=192.168.100.2 dst=10.0.0.22
src=10.0.0.22 dst=10.0.0.2

Test SNAT Port Pool 

Description 

In this scenario, the translation is performed using masquerade with a pool of 3 ports. If at any time there are 3 active connections, the next one will be rejected.

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.0.0.2/24
