CLI: Configuring Internet Users to Access Intranet Servers of Virtual Systems Through the WAN Interface of the Public System (Performing NAT in Each Virtual System)

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, the device is deployed as a Layer 3 gateway between the intranet and Internet. The intranet is divided into two independent LANs: network A and network B, which are isolated from each other and have overlapping IP addresses.

User hosts on the Internet access servers on networks A and B through the shared WAN interface GE0/0/1 of the public system. In addition, a NAT Server is configured for each virtual system. User hosts on the Internet can access specific servers on networks A and B attached to the virtual systems through independent public IP addresses.

Item

Data

Description

public

WAN interface: GE0/0/1

WAN interface IP address: 10.1.1.8/24

Security zone to which the WAN interface belongs: untrust

LAN interface: virtual system Virtual-if0 of the public system

Security zone to which the LAN interface belongs: trust

IP address of the carrier access gateway: 10.1.1.1/24

In this example, all intranet servers provide services for Internet users through the WAN interface of the public system.

As the private IP addresses of networks A and B attached to the virtual systems overlap, you need to configure NAT Server for each virtual system.

vsysa

Virtual system name: vsysa

WAN interface: virtual interface Virtual-if1 of vsysa

Security zone to which the WAN interface belongs: untrust

LAN interface: GE0/0/2

LAN interface IP address: 10.3.0.1/24

Private IP address range: 10.3.2.0/24

Security zone to which the LAN interface belongs: trust

Private IP address and port of the intranet server: 10.3.2.1:80

Public IP address and port after NAT of the intranet server for Internet users: 10.10.1.1:8080

In this example, you can configure a NAT Server to enable user hosts on the Internet to access the server at 10.3.2.1 on network A through the IP address 10.10.1.1.

vsysb

Virtual system name: vsysb

WAN interface: virtual interface Virtual-if2 of vsysb

Security zone to which the WAN interface belongs: untrust

LAN interface: GE0/0/3

LAN interface IP address: 10.3.1.1/24

Private IP address range: 10.3.2.0/24

Security zone to which the LAN interface belongs: trust

Private IP address and port of the intranet server: 10.3.2.1:80

Public IP address and port after NAT of the intranet server for Internet users: 10.10.1.2:8080

In this example, you can configure a NAT Server to enable user hosts on the Internet to access the server at 10.3.2.1 on network B through the IP address 10.10.1.2.

Resource class

Resource class name: r1

Guaranteed number of IPv4 sessions: 10000

Maximum number of IPv4 sessions: 50000

Guaranteed number of policies: 300

Guaranteed total bandwidth: 20 Mbit/s

In this example, networks A and B have similar service resource usage requirements and therefore are allocated the same virtual system resources.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:
  1. Enable the virtual system function.
  2. Configure resource classes based on service requirements, create virtual systems vsysa and vsysb in the public system, and allocate resources to the virtual systems.
  3. Configure interfaces for the public system, vsysa, and vsysb, and add the interfaces to security zones.
  4. Configure routes in the public system, vsysa, and vsysb to divert traffic from the Internet to networks A and B.
  5. Configure security policies in the public system, vsysa, and vsysb based on service requirements to permit traffic from user hosts on the Internet to servers on networks A and B.
  6. Configure a NAT Server in both vsysa and vsysb to enable user hosts on the Internet to access specific servers on networks A and B attached to the virtual systems through independent public IP addresses.
