Netflow Without NAT

Description

Simple scenario without NAT configuration.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 flow egress selector TCP_SEL
set interfaces ethernet eth0 flow ingress selector TCP_SEL
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 20.0.0.2/24
set system conntrack app-detect
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system netflow app-id
set system netflow destination 10.0.0.1
set system netflow engine-id 1111
set traffic selector TCP_SEL rule 1 protocol tcp

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 10.0.0.2
set system conntrack app-detect
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 20.0.0.1/24
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 20.0.0.2
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 4: Run command system conntrack clear at DUT1.

Step 5: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ 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=56.5 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 56.487/56.487/56.487/0.000 ms

Step 6: Ping IP address 20.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 20.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 20.0.0.1 (20.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 20.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.285 ms

--- 20.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.285/0.285/0.285/0.000 ms

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

admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection server 8080 tcp
admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection client 20.0.0.1 8080 tcp

Step 8: Run command system netflow show flows detailed at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

2\s+3\s+10.0.0.1:\d+\s+20.0.0.1:\d+\s*\d*\s*\d+[^\[]*\[L4:8080\]

Show output
PING 20.0.0.1 (20.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.290/0.290/0.290/0.000 ms

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

admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection server 8080 tcp
admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.2 8080 tcp

Step 8: Run command system netflow show flows detailed at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

Netflow With SDNAT

Description

Scenario with SNAT in DUT0 WAN interface (eth1) and DNAT in DUT0 LAN interface (eth0).

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 flow egress selector TCP_SEL
set interfaces ethernet eth0 flow ingress selector TCP_SEL
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic nat destination rule 1 address 20.0.0.1
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic nat destination rule 1 selector TCP_SEL
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 20.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 address masquerade
set interfaces ethernet eth1 traffic nat source rule 1 selector TCP_SEL
set system conntrack app-detect
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set system netflow app-id
set system netflow destination 10.0.0.1
set system netflow engine-id 1111
set traffic selector TCP_SEL rule 1 protocol tcp

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 10.0.0.1/24
set system conntrack app-detect
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 3: Set the following configuration in DUT2 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 20.0.0.1/24
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'

Step 4: Run command system conntrack clear at DUT1.

Step 5: Ping IP address 10.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ 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=0.230 ms

--- 10.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.230/0.230/0.230/0.000 ms

Step 6: Ping IP address 20.0.0.1 from DUT0:

admin@DUT0$ ping 20.0.0.1 count 1 size 56 timeout 1
Show output
PING 20.0.0.1 (20.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 20.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.329 ms

--- 20.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.329/0.329/0.329/0.000 ms

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

admin@DUT2$ monitor test connection server 8080 tcp
admin@DUT1$ monitor test connection client 10.0.0.2 8080 tcp

Step 8: Run command system netflow show flows detailed at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:
