Conntrack Sync

|
|
One of the important features built on top of the Netfilter framework is
|
|
connection tracking. Connection tracking allows the kernel to keep track of all
|
|
logical network connections or sessions, and thereby relate all of the packets
|
|
which may make up that connection. NAT relies on this information to translate
|
|
all related packets in the same way, and iptables can use this information to
|
|
act as a stateful firewall.
|
|
|
|
The connection state however is completely independent of any upper-level
|
|
state, such as TCP's or SCTP's state. Part of the reason for this is that when
|
|
merely forwarding packets, i.e. no local delivery, the TCP engine may not
|
|
necessarily be invoked at all. Even connectionless-mode transmissions such as
|
|
UDP, IPsec (AH/ESP), GRE and other tunneling protocols have, at least, a pseudo
|
|
connection state. The heuristic for such protocols is often based upon a preset
|
|
timeout value for inactivity, after whose expiration a Netfilter connection is
|
|
dropped.
|
|
|
|
Each Netfilter connection is uniquely identified by a (layer-3 protocol, source
|
|
address, destination address, layer-4 protocol, layer-4 key) tuple. The layer-4
|
|
key depends on the transport protocol; for TCP/UDP it is the port numbers, for
|
|
tunnels it can be their tunnel ID, but otherwise is just zero, as if it were
|
|
not part of the tuple. To be able to inspect the TCP port in all cases, packets
|
|
will be mandatorily defragmented.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use either Multicast or Unicast to sync conntrack traffic.
|
|
Most examples below show Multicast, but unicast can be specified by using the
|
|
"peer" keywork after the specificed interface, as in the following example:
|
|
|
|
:cfgcmd:`set service conntrack-sync interface eth0 peer 192.168.0.250`

Configuration

|
*************
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync accept-protocol
|
|
|
|
Accept only certain protocols: You may want to replicate the state of flows
|
|
depending on their layer 4 protocol.
|
|
|
|
Protocols are: tcp, sctp, dccp, udp, icmp and ipv6-icmp.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync event-listen-queue-size <size>
|
|
|
|
The daemon doubles the size of the netlink event socket buffer size if it
|
|
detects netlink event message dropping. This clause sets the maximum buffer
|
|
size growth that can be reached.
|
|
|
|
Queue size for listening to local conntrack events in MB.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync expect-sync <all|ftp|h323|nfs|sip|sqlnet>
|
|
|
|
Protocol for which expect entries need to be synchronized.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync failover-mechanism vrrp sync-group <group>
|
|
|
|
Failover mechanism to use for conntrack-sync.
|
|
|
|
Only VRRP is supported. Required option.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync ignore-address <x.x.x.x>
|
|
|
|
IP addresses or networks for which local conntrack entries will not be synced
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync interface <name>
|
|
|
|
Interface to use for syncing conntrack entries.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync mcast-group <x.x.x.x>
|
|
|
|
Multicast group to use for syncing conntrack entries.
|
|
|
|
Defaults to 225.0.0.50.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync interface <name> peer <address>
|
|
|
|
Peer to send unicast UDP conntrack sync entires to, if not using Multicast
|
|
configuration from above above.
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set service conntrack-sync sync-queue-size <size>
|
|
|
|
Queue size for syncing conntrack entries in MB.

If the table is empty and you have a warning message, it means

|
conntrack is not enabled. To enable conntrack, just create a NAT or a firewall
|
|
rule. :cfgcmd:`set firewall state-policy established action accept`

:alt: Conntrack Sync Example
|
|
|
|
Now configure conntrack-sync service on ``router1`` **and** ``router2``
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
set high-availablilty vrrp group internal virtual-address ... etc ...
|
|
set high-availability vrrp sync-group syncgrp member 'internal'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync accept-protocol 'tcp'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync accept-protocol 'udp'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync accept-protocol 'icmp'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync failover-mechanism vrrp sync-group 'syncgrp'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync interface 'eth0'
|
|
set service conntrack-sync mcast-group '225.0.0.50'
|
|
|
|
On the active router, you should have information in the internal-cache of
|
|
conntrack-sync. The same current active connections number should be shown in
|
|
the external-cache of the standby router
|
|
|
|
On active router run:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|

$ show conntrack-sync statistics
