I'm close to getting it, what is missing to get ping between two virtual routers connected by a virtual switch?

  • 1.  I'm close to getting it, what is missing to get ping between two virtual routers connected by a virtual switch?

    Posted 11-07-2019 11:28

    Hello everyone, after many failed attempts, I think I am very close to pinging two virtual routers connected through a virtual switch, I would greatly appreciate your help, thank you very much.
    My configuration is:

    root@NewJuniper# show routing-instances
    VR1 {
    instance-type virtual-router;
    interface ge-0/0/4.0;
    }
    VR2 {
    instance-type virtual-router;
    interface ge-0/0/5.0;
    }
    MyVirtualSwitch {
    instance-type virtual-switch;
    interface ge-0/0/3.0;
    bridge-domains {
    TestBridgeVS {
    domain-type bridge;
    vlan-id none;
    }
    }
    }

    [edit]
    root@NewJuniper# show interfaces

    ge-0/0/4 {
    unit 0 {
    family inet {
    address 192.168.2.2/24;
    }
    }
    }
    ge-0/0/5 {
    unit 0 {
    family inet {
    address 192.168.2.1/24;
    }
    }
    }

    This should work, right? have i missed something? Thanks again

    Hello,

     

    How does your topology (interface connection) look?

     

    Thanks

    Do you mean physically? I have a cable connected from port ge-0/0/4 to port ge-0/0/5, I don't know if I have it correctly installed, now that I think about it, if I have the switch on ge-0/0/3, How would the option be? could you please guide me, thank you

    You need two connections:

    VS <> VR1 

    VX <> VR2 

     

    Very basic topology like this

    VR1 <> VS <> VR2

     

    Currently you don't have any connection to the VS, it won't be able to talk to anywhere else

    First of all I wanted to thank you for your help, I would have liked to answer them before but this weekend had no way.

    1. Responding to , when you say "You need two connections:

      VS <> VR1

      VX <> VR2 ", do you mean that I have to create another virtual switch in order to connect VR2?

    2. "Very basic topology like this

      VR1 <> VS <> VR2" --------> This is what I need

    3. Responding to : "Since you have direct link between VR1 and VR2 you don't need any switch. Ping should work from one VR to other.
      VR1 (ge-0/0/4) -------------- (ge-0/0/5) VR2 would work" ----------> It doesn't work, I put the answer you give me to the pings later.
    4. "If you want switch in the middle, It should be like below

      VR1 (ge-0/0/4) -------------- (ge-0/0/3) VS (ge-0/0/x) -----------(ge-0/0/5) VR2" ---------> I ask you the same as me, could it be (VR1) ge-0/0/4 to (VS) ge-0/0/3 and (VR2) ge-0/0/5 to (VS) ge-0/0/3? Do I have the cables incorrectly connected or should I create another virtual switch?

    C0d3,

     

    Thanks for the information. I was able to confirm that ARP is not a problem becuase I can see the ARP entries populated properly:

     

    show arp interface ge-0/0/4 no-resolve
    MAC Address Address Interface Flags
    f1:1c:3d:68:f3:c1 192.168.2.1 ge-0/0/4.0 none
    show arp interface ge-0/0/5 no-resolve MAC Address Address Interface Flags f1:1c:3d:68:fa:c2 192.168.2.2 ge-0/0/5.0 none

     

    Please confirm if your topology currently looks like the follwoing one (a cable connected from ge-0/0/4 directly to ge-0/0/5) or if you have modified it:

     

                  .2     192.168.2/24     .1
     VR1-(ge-0/0/4)----------------------(ge-0/0/5)-VR2
               VR1Zone                 VR2Zone     

     

    Please also share:

     

    show route
    show security zones security-zone VR1Zone | display set
    show security zones security-zone VR2Zone | display set 

    Im looking to make sure both routing-instances are aware of the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet and that ping is enabled as host-inbound-traffic on those zones.

     

    Please also apply the following counters on both interfaces to confirm if the ping packets are being received/sent.

     

    Configuration for counter in ge-0/0/4:

     

    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-OUT from source-address 192.168.2.2
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-OUT from destination-address 192.168.2.1
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-OUT from protocol icmp
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-OUT then count GE4-OUT
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-OUT then accept
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-IN from source-address 192.168.2.1
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-IN from destination-address 192.168.2.2
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-IN from protocol icmp
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-IN then count GE4-IN
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term GE4-IN then accept
    set firewall filter GE4-COUNTER term ALLOW-ELSE then accept
    
    set interfaces ge-0/0/4.0 family inet filter input GE4-COUNTER
    set interfaces ge-0/0/4.0 family inet filter output GE4-COUNTER

     

    Configuration for counter in ge-0/0/5:

     

    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-OUT from source-address 192.168.2.1
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-OUT from destination-address 192.168.2.2
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-OUT from protocol icmp
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-OUT then count GE5-OUT
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-OUT then accept
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-IN from source-address 192.168.2.2
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-IN from destination-address 192.168.2.1
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-IN from protocol icmp
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-IN then count GE5-IN
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term GE5-IN then accept
    set firewall filter GE5-COUNTER term ALLOW-ELSE then accept
    
    set interfaces ge-0/0/5.0 family inet filter input GE5-COUNTER
    set interfaces ge-0/0/5.0 family inet filter output GE5-COUNTER

     

    After commiting the above configuraiton try the following ping:

     

    run ping 192.168.2.1 routing-instance VR1 count 5

     

    And after that, gather the following command:

     

    > show firewall

    Thank you very much for your involvement helping other people, the truth that is nice to see that there are still people like this in this world, thank you again and if you need anything else, do not hesitate to ask me, greetings.

    Best Answer

    Posted 11-18-2019 23:57

    Hi C0d3,

     

    I can see that there is no host-inbound-traffic configured on the interfaces, please include:

     

    # set security zones security-zone VRPrincipalZone interfaces ge-0/0/5.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services all
    # set security zones security-zone VRBOXExampleZone interfaces ge-0/0/4.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services all
    # commit

     

    After that try the pings again. Note that for the ping to work we need to include the routing-instance we are sourcing the ping from:

     

    > run ping 192.168.2.1 routing-instance VRBOXExample
    > run ping 192.168.2.2 routing-instance VRPrincipal

     

    Please mark my comment as "Solution" if it applies.

    Thanks lpaniagua, but that information had ignored it, I had not put there, only ping, but still putting there, it does not work for me, thank you anyway anyway and in thanks, I give it as a valid solution, a greeting.

    Hello c0d3,

     

    Since you have direct link between VR1 and VR2 you don't need any switch. Ping should work from one VR to other.

    VR1 (ge-0/0/4) -------------- (ge-0/0/5) VR2 would work

    If you want switch in the middle, It should be like below

    VR1 (ge-0/0/4) -------------- (ge-0/0/3) VS (ge-0/0/x) -----------(ge-0/0/5) VR2


    PS: If my response solves your query please accept it as solution, kudos are appreicated too!

    Thanks

    Vishal

    C0d3,

     

    I understand your topology like this, please let me know if this is correct:

     

                  .2     192.168.2/24     .1
     VR1-(ge-0/0/4)----------------------(ge-0/0/5)-VR2

     

    Can you share the following outputs:

     

    >show route table VR1.inet.0
    >show route table VR2.inet.0
    
    > run ping 192.168.2.2 routing-instance VR2
    > run ping 192.168.2.1 routing-instance VR2
    
    > run ping 192.168.2.2 routing-instance VR1
    > run ping 192.168.2.1 routing-instance VR1
    
    >show arp interface ge-0/0/4 no-resolve
    >show arp interface ge-0/0/5 no-resolve
    >show interfaces extensive ge-0/0/4 | find security
    >show interfaces extensive ge-0/0/5 | find security

     

    With above commands Im trying to check routing, ARP, security-zones, etc.
