Base SSG configuration for MIRROR scheme

  1. Prepare the server according to the installation requirements.
  2. Install and configure the VEOS OS
  3. Set an IP address.
  4. Apply for license installation and fastDPI to Service Desk.
  5. After installing them, the following settings must be made in etc/dpi/fastdpi.conf:

Suppose the SCAT is connected as follows:

To set the DPI in mirroring mode, you have to specify the following in the configuration:

In the configuration for the inbound ports in_dev set the ports that accept mirror traffic:

in_dev=01-00.0:01-00.1:01-00.2

In the configuration for outgoing ports tap_dev set the port to which the forwarding response is sent:

tap_dev=01-00.3

Specify the mode – asymmetric

asym_mode=1

Specify the direction of tap_dev responses:

emit_direction=2
tap_mode=2
To send responses in mirroring mode it is correct to use an additional 1GbE card such as intel i350 (+ DNA license), configure a separate port in the system to send tap_dev forwarding, and use 10GbE ports for in_dev mirrored traffic flows.

Specify that VLAN should be reset:

strip_tap_tags=1

Set MAC change:

replace_source_mac=00:25:90:E9:43:59 #- MAC address of card out_dev - dna0
replace_destination_mac=78:19:F7:0E:B1:F4 #- MAC address of the router, or the routing switch

Set the number of retries if there are network losses:

emit_duplication=3 
#here, 3 is the number of repetitions (duplicates) of a packet with redirect or blocking.

Implementation scheme and description of operation

When a request for a restricted resource is detected, the SSG sends an HTTP redirect to a placeholder page to the subscriber (IP1).
A TCP RST packet is sent to the restricted resource (IP2) to drop the connection. Blocking (HTTPS) and redirecting (HTTP) occurs because the SSG responds to the request from IP1 faster than IP2.

Header of the IP response packet

  1. Destination MAC – MAC address of the router port where the response link is connected.
  2. Source MAC – MAC address of the out_dev card.
  3. Source IP – IP address of the restricted resource IP2.
  4. Destination IP – IP address of user IP1.

Router configuration example

The port on the router where the reply link from the SSG is included should be configured as a normal L3 port. The task is to receive a packet from the SSG and forward it to the subscriber based on the common routing tables.

Configuration example: eth1 is connected to the Juniper MX side

#Settings on tha MX side:
description from_SSG_redirect;
unit 0 {
  family inet {
  address a.b.c.d/30;
  }
}

Further settings are made depending on which components are to be used. The settings are described in the SSG components section.
