Web: Example for Configuring Virtual Systems on a Cloud Computing Gateway

This section provides an example for configuring virtual systems to protect a cloud computing data center.

Networking Requirements

Figure 1 shows the networking diagram, a cloud computing data center uses a FW for security protection of the egress gateway to meet the following requirements:

  • Customers of the data center can independently manage and access their server resources.
  • The FW has only one outside interface but provides sufficient public IP addresses. NAT policies are configured on the FW so that customers have independent public IP addresses to access their own server resources.
  • As enterprises A and B have different amount of service traffic, they purchase separate virtual system resources.

Configure virtual systems to meet the preceding requirements.

Description

public
  • Outside interface: GE0/0/1
  • Outside interface IP address: 1.1.1.1/24
  • Security zone to which the outside interface belongs: Untrust
  • Inside interface: public's virtual interface Virtual-if0
  • Security zone to which the inside interface belongs: Trust
  • IP address of the carrier network gateway: 1.1.1.254/24

In this example, all intranet servers provide services to Internet users through the public system's outside interface.

vsysa
  • Virtual system name: vsysa
  • Outside interface: vsysa's virtual interface
  • Security zone to which the outside interface belongs: Untrust
  • Inside interface: GE0/0/2.1
  • Inside interface IP address: 10.3.0.1/24
  • Private IP address range: 10.3.0.0/24
  • Security zone to which the inside interface belongs: Trust
  • Private address and port of the internal server for Internet users: 10.3.0.2:80
  • Public address and port mapped to the internal server for Internet users: 1.1.1.2:8080

In this example, IP address mapping must be configured so that the server at the private address 10.3.0.2 can use the public address 1.1.1.2 to provide services to users of enterprise A.

The public system administrator configures and manages virtual systems, and no virtual system administrator is required.

vsysb
  • Virtual system name: vsysb
  • Outside interface: vsysb's virtual interface
  • Security zone to which the outside interface belongs: Untrust
  • Inside interface: GE0/0/2.2
  • Inside interface IP address: 10.3.1.1/24
  • Private IP address range: 10.3.1.0/24
  • Security zone to which the inside interface belongs: Trust
  • Private address and port of the internal server for Internet users: 10.3.1.2:80
  • Public address and port mapped to the internal server for Internet users: 1.1.1.3:8080

In this example, IP address mapping must be configured so that the server at the private address 10.3.1.2 can use the public address 1.1.1.3 to provide services to users of enterprise B.

The public system administrator configures and manages virtual systems, and no virtual system administrator is required.

Resource class
  • Name: r1
  • Reserved Number for session: 10000
  • Maximum Number for session: 50000
  • Entire Reserved Bandwidth: 20 Mbps
  • Name: r2
  • Reserved Number for session: 10000
  • Maximum Number for session: 50000
  • Entire Reserved Bandwidth: 30 Mbps

In this example, create two resource classes and bind each to a virtual system.

Configuration Roadmap

  1. The public system administrator creates virtual systems vsysa and vsysb and allocates resources to them.
  2. Create subinterfaces GE0/0/2.1 and GE0/0/2.2 on the GE0/0/2 and configure these two subinterfaces as inside interfaces of vsysa and vsysb, respectively.
  3. The public system administrator configures IP address mapping for vsysa and vsysb.
  4. The public system administrator configures routes and security policies for vsysa and vsysb.

Procedure

  1. Click Dashboard on the main menu. In the Device Information area, click Configure on the line of Virtual System to enable the virtual system function.

  2. Configure a resource class.
    1. Choose System > Virtual System > Resource.

    2. Click Add and set the following parameters.

    3. Click OK.
    4. Create resource class r2 according to the preceding steps.

    5. Click OK.
  3. In the root system, create virtual systems vsysa and vsysb and allocate resources to them.
    1. Choose System > Virtual System > Virtual System.

    2. Click Add and then the Basic Settings tab and set the following parameters.

    3. Click OK.
    4. Repeat these steps to create vsysb and allocate the resource class r2.
    5. Click OK.
  4. Create GigabitEthernet 0/0/2.1 and GigabitEthernet 0/0/2.2.
    1. Choose Network > Interface.
    2. Click Add to create GigabitEthernet 0/0/2.1 based on the following parameter values.

    3. Click OK.
    4. Repeat these steps to create GigabitEthernet 0/0/2.2 based on the following parameter values.

    5. Click OK.
  5. In the root system, configure the WAN and virtual interfaces.
    1. Choose Network > Interface.
    2. Click the interface name and set the following parameters for the interface.

      The IP address of a Virtual-if interface can be set to any address different from the IP addresses of all the other interfaces.

      The IDs of Virtual-if interfaces are randomly assigned from available IDs in the system. Therefore, the virtual interfaces may not be Virtual-if 1 or Virtual-if 2 in practice.
