Chained Policies

The following scenario shows how to configure different traffic policies: some of them are globally attached and others are linked to a specific interface.

Test Traffic Policy Chain

Description

A chain of traffic policies is configured in DUT0 to mark the incoming traffic with packet length larger than 128 bytes. Every traffic policy matches a specific packet mark set by the previous traffic policy. The last traffic policy drops the packet.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic policy in P1 priority very-high
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic policy in P3 priority high
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic policy in P5 priority low
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic policy in P7 priority very-low
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system traffic policy in P2 priority very-high
set system traffic policy in P4 priority high
set system traffic policy in P6 priority low
set system traffic policy in P8 priority very-low
set traffic policy P1 rule 1 selector S1
set traffic policy P1 rule 1 set mark 1
set traffic policy P2 rule 1 selector S2
set traffic policy P2 rule 1 set mark 2
set traffic policy P3 rule 1 selector S3
set traffic policy P3 rule 1 set mark 3
set traffic policy P4 rule 1 selector S4
set traffic policy P4 rule 1 set mark 4
set traffic policy P5 rule 1 selector S5
set traffic policy P5 rule 1 set mark 5
set traffic policy P6 rule 1 selector S6
set traffic policy P6 rule 1 set mark 6
set traffic policy P7 rule 1 selector S7
set traffic policy P7 rule 1 set mark 7
set traffic policy P8 rule 1 action drop
set traffic policy P8 rule 1 selector S8
set traffic policy P8 rule 1 set mark 8
set traffic selector S1 rule 1 length min 128
set traffic selector S2 rule 1 mark 1
set traffic selector S3 rule 1 mark 2
set traffic selector S4 rule 1 mark 3
set traffic selector S5 rule 1 mark 4
set traffic selector S6 rule 1 mark 5
set traffic selector S7 rule 1 mark 6
set traffic selector S8 rule 1 mark 7

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.2/24
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1

Show output

PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.298 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.298/0.298/0.298/0.000 ms

Step 4: Expect a failure in the following command: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT1:

admin@DUT1$ ping 10.0.0.1 count 1 size 256 timeout 1

Show output

PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) 256(284) bytes of data.

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms

Step 5: Run command traffic policy P8 show at DUT0 and expect this output:

Show output

Policy P8 -- system -- hook in prio very-low
