5. Routed Mode WanLink with WanPaths
Goal: Setup a Routed Mode WanLink with WanPaths.
Return to LANforge-ICE Cookbook
In this test scenario, LANforge-ICE is used to filter traffic by IP address
on a WanLink with the use of WanPaths.
- Setup a Netsmith connection.
| A: Go to the Status tab and click Netsmith |
 |
| B: Right-click in the Netsmith window and select New
Connection |
 |
| C: Accept defaults, Auto Create everything and click OK |
 |
| D: Click Apply in the Netsmith window to create the
connection |
 |
| E: The Netsmith window after applying changes |
 |
- Setup the WanLink.
| A: Right-click the WanLink and select Modify WanLink
|
 |
| B: Setup the WanLink with values larger than what each of the
WanPaths will use
• WanPaths are subordinate to WanLinks. WanLinks, therefore, should be configured
with sufficient bandwidth and buffering required by all of its WanPaths
• Click Apply and leave the Create/Modify WanLink window open |
 |
- Setup the WanPaths.
| A: Click Create-WP on Entry Point A to create a new
WanPath on this WanLink
• NOTE: In order to filter by specific IP address, use a Source and
Dest Mask of 32 to exactly match the IP coming in on the Entry Point
• Click OK to create the WanPath |
 |
| B: Click Create-WP on Entry Point B to create a new
WanPath on this WanLink
• NOTE: The Source and Destination IPs for this WanPath are the
reverse of those for Entry Point A
• Click OK to create the WanPath |
 |
| C: Create a second WanPath for this WanLink using the next
set of IP addresses |
 |
| D: Reverse the Source and Destination IPs for this
corresponding WanPath |
 |
| E: Verify that the WanPaths on this WanLink are setup
correctly, then click OK on the Create/Modify WanLink window shown here |
 |
- Setup the ports with IP addresses.
| A: Right-click on the WanLink and select Toggle
Wanlink |
 |
| B: Right-click port rddVR0 and select Modify Port |
 |
| C: Setup an IP address that is on a different network than
the WanPath entry points |
 |
| D: Setup an IP address on port rddVR1 that is on the same
network as rddVR0 |
 |
- Add the Virtual Routers.
- Setup the external interfaces.
| A: Right-click port eth0 and select Modify Port |
 |
| B: Setup eth0 with a valid IP address and IP mask that is on
the same network as the WanPath entry points ep-1 and ep-3 |
 |
| C: Left-click port eth0 and drag it inside Router R0(1) |
 |
| D: Setup eth1 with a valid IP address and IP mask that is
on the same network as the WanPath entry points ep-2 and ep-4 |
 |
| E: Drag eth1 inside Router R1(2) and Apply changes in Netsmith |
 |
- Run traffic to LANforge-ICE ports eth0 and eth1, then display results. Refer to
the LANforge FIRE Cookbook to run traffic.
| A: Right-click the WanLink and select Display Wanlink |
 |
| B: The lower half of the WanLink display shows traffic
passing on WanPath entry points ep-3 and ep-4 and other IP address are excluded from
passing on the WanLink |
 |
| C: Select a WanPath and click Display Selected Paths
in the lower left corner of the WanLink display window |
