NAT Hairpinning using NAT pools & PBR

Here is an interesting problem i met some days ago...



All hosts want to communicate each other by using their respective external (inside global) ip addresses, while dynamic/static NAT takes places in front of them.

1) Introducing the problem

This is an issue being "resolved" in RFC 4787 (for UDP) & RFC 5382 (for TCP), known also as NAT hairpinning, but Cisco doesn't seem to have implemented any of these in its routers (although Cisco's name is included in both RFCs). According to the 2nd RFC:

NATs that forward packets originating from an internal address, destined for an external address that matches the active mapping for an internal address, back to that internal address are defined in [BEHAVE-UDP] as supporting "hairpinning". If the NAT presents the hairpinned packet with an external source IP address and port (i.e., the mapped source address and port of the originating internal endpoint), then it is defined to have "External source IP address and port" for hairpinning. Hairpinning is necessary to allow two internal endpoints (known to each other only by their external mapped addresses) to communicate with each other. "External source IP address and port" behavior for hairpinning avoids confusing implementations that expect the external source IP address and port.

To make it more interesting i have added multiple wan connections, each one serving a specific block of ips, so a little bit of load-balancing plus redundancy is happening too.

HOST1 and HOST2 access the internet through the same wan connection, HOST3 uses another wan connection (through the same router as HOST1 and HOST2) and so does HOST4 (through a different router than all other hosts).

Concisely:

HOST1 -> HGW S1/0 -> R1 S1/0
HOST2 -> HGW S1/0 -> R1 S1/0
HOST3 -> HGW S1/1 -> R1 S1/1
HOST3 -> HGW S1/2 -> R2 S1/2

HGW is the router where all these hosts are directly connected, probably your home gateway. It has 3 wan connections to your ISP for load-balancing/redundancy reasons. This is where all the serious stuff (NAT & PBR) is taking place.

R1, R2 are the ISP routers where the wan connections are and CORE represents (in our case) the internet.

2) Finding solutions

In order to implement my solution, you'll need to have static ips for your wan connection plus a block of extra ips (one ip is enough) per static account. I couldn't think of a way to implement it without using extra ips (besides an idea of using VRFs, but i still don't feel confident enough to experiment with them; maybe in an later version). You'll also need some extra private ips for your HGW, but these come in cheap, so no need to worry.

The whole concept is heavily based on policy-based routing (PBR). The general idea is to have each host's source of the packet being translated to an ip not known internally (nat pool), so static NAT won't be used and PBR can actually take place.

3) Connection and ip details

WAN1 : 100.1.12.0/30 (extra ips : 100.10.12.0/30)
WAN2 : 100.1.33.0/30 (extra ips : 100.10.33.0/30)
WAN3 : 100.1.44.0/30 (extra ips : 100.10.44.0/30)

HOST1 : 10.10.10.1
HOST2 : 10.10.10.2
HOST3 : 10.10.10.3
HOST4 : 10.10.10.4

4) Configurations

! Interface Loopback0 is used as an intermediate hop for doing NAT and PBR
! for the inside->outside direction.

!

! Interface Loopback1 is used as an intermediate hop for doing NAT
! for the outside->inside direction (PBR is not needed because
! all hosts are connected on the same inside interface).
! Since Loopback interfaces do not have a direction,
! we cannot use a single loopback for both directions (PBR will apply in both).
! If every host was using a different nat pool, then we wouldn't need
! this interface. We can probably avoid using this interface too,
! if we make ACLs used in PBR match ports as well as ips.

! These default routes are not actually needed, if we use PBR for all our host ips.
! So we need these, only if we don't use PBR under Loopback0 and Fa0/0.

! We use a nat pool for each group of hosts that we want to treat differently.

!

! We use static nat, so each host keeps an open port for incoming connections.
! Different hosts use different ports, so many of them can be used simultaneously
! with the same inside global ip.

!

! This route-map is applied under Fa0/0 and forwards packets from all hosts to Loopback0.
! You can also use a single ACL for all hosts, instead of an ACL per group of hosts.
! In our case we have the ACLs ready because of nat.

HOST1,HOST2,HOST3,HOST4 do not have something special, besides an http server (each one on a different port), so incoming connections can be checked and verified.


5) Test cases

We're going to examine three different cases of connections between various hosts. Each host is acting as a client (initiating connections to the internet) and as a server (accepting connections from the internet). In our case, the internet can be any of the other hosts too.

We'll keep the following debugs enabled, so we can watch better what is happening.

"debug ip nat det"
"debug ip policy"
"debug ip packet det" - used partially

In a production environment, you'll probably want to take some precautions before enabling them.

Before we start, let's take a look the the nat translation table. Only static nat entries should be there.

HGW#sh ip nat translations
Pro Inside global Inside local Outside local Outside global
tcp 100.10.12.1:1081 10.10.10.1:1081 --- ---

tcp 100.10.44.1:1084 10.10.10.4:1084 --- ---


5.1) HOST1 is trying to access HOST2 (same wan connections, same router)

First we test HOST1's and HOST2's connectivity to the internet (dynamic NAT) :

HOST1#p 5.5.5.5 rep 1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 5.5.5.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
!
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max = 200/200/200 ms

HOST2#p 5.5.5.5 rep 1

Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 5.5.5.5, timeout is 2 seconds:
!
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max = 196/196/196 ms

We check the nat translation table and a new dynamic entry has been created :

HGW# sh ip nat translations
Pro Inside global Inside local Outside local Outside global
tcp 100.10.12.1:1081 10.10.10.1:1081 --- ---

Then we test connectivity between the 2 hosts (dynamic/static NAT) :

HOST1#tel 100.10.44.1 1084

We check the nat translation table and we see that :
a) a new dynamic entry for 10.10.10.1 has been created
b) a new dynamic entry based on the static nat for 10.10.10.4:1084 has been created

6) Notes

6.1) In my test, all routers were 7200s and were running 12.4(20)T.

6.2) You'll be probably getting the following warning while configuring route-maps, but there is no need to worry, since everything will be working fine afterwards :

HGW(config-route-map)#set interface lo0
%Warning:Use P2P interface for routemap
set interface clause


6.3) Regarding the redundancy part, the HOST->CORE part is already configured. For the CORE->HOST part, you can use static routes & ospf route-maps with a bigger metric.
