Example for Collecting Statistics on Aggregated Traffic Flows

The FW connects to two carrier networks at the same time, aggregates the data packets passing the interface based on AS IDs, and sends them to the NSA.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, enabling NetStream on FW_B helps collect the statistics on the traffic flows from the user network to both ISP networks. The collected statistics provides a reference for network accounting.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Configure reachable routes between the user network and access network.

  2. Configure reachable routes between the access network and ISP1 and between the access network and ISP2.

  3. Enable NetStream on FW_B.

Procedure

  1. Set IP addresses.

    # Set IP addresses for FW_A.

    <FW_A> system-view
    [FW_A] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/4
    [FW_A-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] ip address 10.1.1.1 24
    [FW_A-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] quit

    # Set IP addresses for FW_B.

    <FW_B> system-view
    [FW_B] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/4
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] ip address 10.2.1.1 24
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] quit
    [FW_B] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] ip address 10.1.1.2 24
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit
    [FW_B] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/2
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] ip address 10.3.1.1 24
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/2] quit
    [FW_B] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/3
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] ip address 10.4.1.1 24
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/3] quit

    # Set IP addresses for FW_C.

    <FW_C> system-view
    [FW_C] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/4
    [FW_C-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] ip address 10.2.1.2 24
    [FW_C-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] quit

    # Set IP addresses for FW_D.

    <FW_D> system-view
    [FW_D] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/4
    [FW_D-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] ip address 10.3.1.2 24
    [FW_D-GigabitEthernet0/0/4] quit

  2. Configure IGP routes between FW_A and FW_B.

    Configure dynamic routes on FW_A.

    [FW] sysname FW_A
    [FW_A] ospf router-id 1.1.1.1
    [FW_A-ospf-1]area 0
    [FW_A-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 10.1.1.1 0.0.0.255

    Configure dynamic routes on FW_B.

    [FW_B] ospf router-id 2.2.2.2
    [FW_B-ospf-1]area 0
    [FW_B-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 10.1.1.2 0.0.0.255
    [FW_B-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 10.2.1.1 0.0.0.255
    [FW_B-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.0] network 10.3.1.1 0.0.0.255

  3. Establish BGP neighbors between FW_B and FW_C and between FW_B and FW_D.

    Establish dynamic BGP neighbors between FW_B and FW_C.

    [FW_B] bgp 65001
    [FW_B-bgp] router-id 2.2.2.2
    [FW_B-bgp] peer 10.2.1.2 as-number 65002
    [FW_B-bgp] ipv4-family unicast
    [FW_B-bgp-af-ipv4] import-route ospf 1
    [FW_C] bgp 65002
    [FW_C-bgp] router-id 3.3.3.3
    [FW_C-bgp] peer 10.2.1.1 as-number 65001

    Establish dynamic BGP neighbors between FW_B and FW_D.

    [FW_B] bgp 65001
    [FW_B-bgp] router-id 2.2.2.2
    [FW_B-bgp] peer 10.3.1.2 as-number 65003
    [FW_D] bgp 65003
    [FW_D-bgp] router-id 4.4.4.4
    [FW_D-bgp] peer 10.3.1.1 as-number 65001

  4. Enable NetStream on FW_B.

    Configure the output of aggregated traffic flows.

    [FW_B] ip netstream aggregation as
    [FW_B-aggregation-as] enable
    [FW_B-aggregation-as] export version 9
    [FW_B-aggregation-as] ip netstream export host 10.4.1.2 6000 
    [FW_B-aggregation-as] ip netstream export source 10.4.1.1

    Enable NetStream for inbound traffic passing the interface.

    [FW_B] interface GigabitEthernet 0/0/1
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] ip netstream inbound
    [FW_B-GigabitEthernet0/0/1] quit

Result

  • After the configuration is complete, run the display ip netstream cache command in the user view to display the statistics on the cached traffic flows.

    <FW_B> display ip netstream cache
