Test IPsec With Multipath XFRM Interfaces

Description

DUT0 and DUT1 are connected to each other through multiple IPsec tunnels with the same local and remote prefixes.

In this test case, we will check IPsec tunnels are correctly installing through two peers directly connected to the DUT0 and DUT1 devices.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 30.0.0.1/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 30.0.0.2/24
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vrf WAN_30
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address 10.1.0.1/24

Note

Check that the IPsec tunnels are established and the routes are installed. The routes should be installed in the VRF LAN_101.

Step 4: Run command protocols vrf LAN_101 ip show route at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

K>\* 10\.2\.0\.0/24 \[0\/0\] is directly connected.*xfrm\d+.*\n.*xfrm\d+
Show output
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, L - local, S - static,
       R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, F - PBR,
       f - OpenFabric, t - Table-Direct,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued, r - rejected, b - backup
       t - trapped, o - offload failure

IPv4 unicast VRF LAN_101:
K>* 0.0.0.0/0 [255/8192] unreachable (ICMP unreachable), weight 1, 00:00:05
C>* 10.1.0.0/24 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:05
L>* 10.1.0.1/32 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:05
K>* 10.2.0.0/24 [0/0] is directly connected, xfrm302, weight 1, 00:00:01

K>* 127.0.0.0/8 [0/0] is directly connected, LAN_101, weight 1, 00:00:05

Note

Check that both IPsec tunnels are established and traffic steering is working as expected. Once the remote client is trying to connect randomly from either of the two tunnels, hub always responds with the same tunnel.

Step 5: Run command vpn ipsec clear sa at DUT0 and expect this output:

Step 6: Init an SSH connection from DUT1 to IP address 10.1.0.5 with the user admin:

Note

Testing the traffic from the hub to the spoke. The difference is that the IPsec tunnel chosen by the hub not always the same as the one chosen by the spoke. So if the spoke responds to the hub through the another tunnel, the hub needs to change the tunnel to the one used by the spoke.

The difference here is that the hub peer has its addresses behind the VRFs, it is not directly connected like in the previous test case.

Note

Check that the IPsec tunnels are established and the routes are installed. The routes should be installed in the VRF LAN_101.

Step 4: Run command protocols vrf LAN_101 ip show route at DUT0 and check if output matches the following regular expressions:

K>\* 10\.2\.0\.0/24 \[0\/0\] is directly connected.*xfrm\d+.*\n.*xfrm\d+
Show output
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, L - local, S - static,
       R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
       T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, F - PBR,
       f - OpenFabric, t - Table-Direct,
       > - selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued, r - rejected, b - backup
       t - trapped, o - offload failure

IPv4 unicast VRF LAN_101:
K>* 0.0.0.0/0 [255/8192] unreachable (ICMP unreachable), weight 1, 00:00:05
C>* 10.1.0.0/24 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:05
L>* 10.1.0.1/32 is directly connected, eth1, weight 1, 00:00:05

  *                   is directly connected, xfrm301, weight 1, 00:00:01
K>* 127.0.0.0/8 [0/0] is directly connected, LAN_101, weight 1, 00:00:05

Note

Check that both IPsec tunnels are established and traffic steering is working as expected. Once the remote client is trying to connect randomly from either of the two tunnels, hub always responds with the same tunnel.

Step 5: Run command vpn ipsec clear sa at DUT0 and expect this output:

Step 6: Init an SSH connection from DUT1 to IP address 10.1.0.5 with the user admin:

Note

Testing the traffic from the hub to the spoke. The difference is that the IPsec tunnel chosen by the hub not always the same as the one chosen by the spoke. So if the spoke responds to the hub through the another tunnel, the hub needs to change the tunnel to the one used by the spoke.
