Conntag

The following scenarios show how the conntag feature integrates with conntrack logging and system conntrack show commands. Conntag allows tagging conntrack entries with string values (up to 255 characters) for traffic identification and logging.

Conntag In Conntrack Show

Description

Verify that conntag values appear correctly in the system conntrack show command output. The conntag field should display the string value assigned to the connection via traffic policy.

Scenario

Conntag With Multiple Policies

Description

Verify that different traffic policies can set different conntag values, and each connection is tagged appropriately based on which policy rule matched.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 192.168.100.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 traffic policy in POLICY_MULTI
set service ssh
set system conntrack logging events all
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
set traffic policy POLICY_MULTI rule 1 selector SEL_ICMP
set traffic policy POLICY_MULTI rule 1 set conntag icmp-traffic-tag
set traffic policy POLICY_MULTI rule 2 selector SEL_TCP
set traffic policy POLICY_MULTI rule 2 set conntag tcp-traffic-tag
set traffic selector SEL_ICMP rule 1 protocol icmp
set traffic selector SEL_TCP rule 1 protocol tcp

Step 2: Set the following configuration in DUT1 :

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
set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
