  • 1.  CGNAT PBA with paired address-pooling on ams0 with amount members more 2 members

    Posted 09-08-2020 10:26

    I have MS-MPC and configure NAT on ams0 interface (with 2 members):

     

    > show interfaces load-balancing ams0 detail
    Load-balancing interfaces detail
    Interface        : ams0
      State          : Up
      Last change    : 13:17:16
      Member count   : 2
      HA Model       : None
      Members        :
          Interface    Weight   State
          mams-4/0/0   10       Active
          mams-5/0/0   10       Active
    

     

    I configure PBA and "address-pooling paired" so that NAT for the client is always performed from the same IP from the NAT pool:

     

        pool NAT-POOL-1 {
            address-range low x.x.216.0 high x.x.219.255;
            port {
                automatic {
                    random-allocation;
                }
                secured-port-block-allocation block-size 256 max-blocks-per-address 8 active-block-timeout 1800;
            }
            address-allocation round-robin;
            app-mapping-timeout 300;
            snmp-trap-thresholds {
                address-port low 60 high 80;
            }
        }
    
    rule NAT-RULE-1 {
        match-direction input;
        term T1 {
            from {
                source-prefix-list {
                    pl-ipv4-NAT-SRC-1;
                }
            }
            then {
                translated {
                    source-pool NAT-POOL-1;
                    translation-type {
                        napt-44;
                    }
                    address-pooling paired;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

     

    As long as ams0 contained one member, everything was fine. But as soon as I added the second interface to ams0, I got:

     

    > show services nat mappings address-pooling-paired private 100.64.51.199
    Interface: mams-4/0/0, Service set: SS-NAT-1
    
    NAT pool: NAT-POOL-1
    
    Mapping          : 100.64.51.199   --> x.x.217.1
    Ports In Use     :    13
    Session Count    :    13
    Mapping State    : Active
    
    Interface: mams-5/0/0, Service set: SS-NAT-1
    
    NAT pool: NAT-POOL-1
    
    Mapping          : 100.64.51.199   --> x.x.218.232
    Ports In Use     :     1
    Session Count    :     1
    Mapping State    : Active
    

     

    Now the client can get to different servers from different IPs. This creates problems for some services.

     

    I need client sessions to always be created under one public IP (separate for from the block of addresses allocated under NAT.

    What can be done to solve this problem?

    Hi, first of all, check if source-address load-balancing enabled for service card

     

    >show configuration forwarding-options
    enhanced-hash-key {
        services-loadbalancing {
            family inet {
                layer-3-services {
                    source-address;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    Hello,

     

    "On-the-fly" addition of new NPUs into AMS is not supported.

    You need to deactivate/reactivate the service-set at least.

    And "services-loadbalancing" is not required for MS-MPC.

    HTH

    Thx

    The documentation (https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/ams-understanding.html) says:

     

    NOTE If you modify a NAT pool that is being used by a service set assigned to an AMS interface, you must deactivate and activate the service set before the NAT pool changes take effect.

    I just added a new member to ams0 and did not change the service-set or NAT pool.

    In addition, after adding a new masm interface, both pic were reloaded:

    Do I still need to deactivate / activate the service-set?

    Ok cool.

    Do You have "load-balancing-options hash-keys" knob enabled in Your AMS config?

    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/reference/configuration-statement/hash-keys-edit-interfaces-ams.html

    For nexthop-style CGNAT, You only need to enable it for private src IP, typically it looks like:

     

    set interfaces ams0 load-balancing-options hash-keys ingress-key source-ip

     

    In the other direction, traffic will be attracted by routing towards CGNAT pool IPs split between MAMS interfaces.

    Thx

    I tried to do a test today.

    When testing, I saw my error 😞

     

        load-balancing-options {
            hash-keys {
                ingress-key [ source-ip protocol ];
            }
        }
    

     

    Once I removed the protocol hash everything returned to normal.

    Thank you.
