If you, for some reason, cannot use easy-ip NAT, you can use source NAT with NAT address pool. Depending on how many public IP addresses you have got, you can configure no-PAT option, when only IP address is translated or you can set PAT, in other words NAT with port translation to assure LAN users accessing Internet. Details in the video 😉

USG firewall configuration script:

#
dhcp enable
#
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/0
undo shutdown
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

What do we have in traditional IP networks?

Let’s assume that there is a fault at the physical or data link layers. Router sees that a physical interface becomes DOWN. After the router detects this fault, it informs upper layer routing system to update routing information. The convergence time is several seconds, what is critical for sensitive services.

That’s why IP FRR has been developed. After we configure IP FRR, a router doesn’t wait for network convergence but a backup link is immediately used to forward packets.

We have 2 scenarios of using IP FRR:

1. To protect routers in public networks.
2. To protect CE routers in private networks.

Let’s focus on the first one.

That was to be expected. Poland is out of Euro Cup. The only thing we can do is to come back to the real world :).

Today I will show you how to use ACLs and traffic policies for packets’ lost troubleshooting in a network.

Huawei ACL and traffic policy configuration

Let’s assume that we have such topology:

What we have to do is to check end-to-end connectivity between CE and R2 Loopback100 interface, to find where packets are being lost.
