Configuring Session Mirroring

Session mirroring commands are hidden by default. You must have a login with sufficient permission to configure session mirroring. The set system login class class-name permissions pgcp-session-mirroring-control command grants this permission.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure session mirroring:

  1. Access the configuration of the delivery function properties under session-mirroring.
  2. Configure the network operator ID. The PG includes the network operator ID in the header of intercepted packets that it sends to the delivery function. It is used to identify the operator.
  3. Configure the address of the delivery function to which the PG sends session-mirroring information.
  4. Configure the port on the delivery function that receives session-mirroring information.
  5. Configure the address of the interface on which the PG sends session-mirroring data to the deliver function.
  6. Configure the port on which the PG sends session-mirroring data to the delivery function.

Disabling Session Mirroring

To disable session mirroring:

[edit services pgcp session-mirroring]
user@host#set disable-session-mirroring

Re-Enabling Session Mirroring

To re-enable session mirroring:

[edit services pgcp session-mirroring]
user@host#delete disable-session-mirroring

Configuring IPSec for Mirrored Sessions

To protect mirrored traffic that is sent from the PG to the delivery function, you can use IPSec. To have IPSec and PGCP performed on the same PIC, you create PGCP and IPSec service sets and chain these service-sets using routing-options.

To create the service sets and routing options:

  1. Configure a PGCP service set. The NAT routes installed as part of PGCP service direct PGCP traffic to sp-1/0/0.10 and sp-1/0/0.20.
  2. Configure an IPSec service set on the same PIC.
  3. Install a static route to the delivery function (1.0.0.3) with the next-hop address of the PIC. This route redirects mirrored packets to a unit of the same service PIC that is hosting the IPSec service.

The mirrored packets that are generated on sp-1/0/0 have the destination address of the delivery function. In this case 1.0.0.3.
