Managing LAN Segments on a Tenant Site

Use for Overlay VPN

Enable the Use for Overlay VPN field to associate the LAN segment with the selected department (VRF + ZONE) for overlay traffic to other sites.

Disable the Use for Overlay VPN field to associate the LAN segment with a security zone for underlay breakout. You must define zone-based security policies.

Name

Enter a name for the LAN segment.

The name for a LAN segment should be a unique string of alphanumeric characters and some special characters (. -). No spaces are allowed and the maximum length allowed is 15 characters.

CPE Port

Select the CPE port to be added in the LAN segment.

When you add a new LAN Segment to a provisioned site from the LAN tab of the Site-Name page, you can select (or create) a LAG interface or a redundant Ethernet (reth) interface (for dual CPE cluster) to connect the SRX Series CPE devices to an EX series switch.

To use the et interface on SRX4600 devices, you must create a LAG interface and configure the et interface as a member of the LAG (aggregated Ethernet or ae) interface. See Create LAG Interface.

For an SRX4600 dual CPE cluster, you can use the et interface if it is configured as a member of the redundant Ethernet (reth) interface.

Add LAG Interface

Click the link to create a LAG interface (ae interface) if you want to use it to connect the SRX Series CPE to the EX Series switch. See Create LAG Interface for details.

Create RETH Interface

Click the link to create a reth interface for an SD-WAN site with a dual CPE cluster. See Create a RETH Interface for details.

Type

Select the type of LAN segment:

• Directly Connected (default)—Indicates that the LAN segment is directly connected to the site.

• Dynamic Routed—Indicates that the LAN segment is not directly connected to the site and is reachable by using a dynamic route. If you select this option, you must specify the dynamic routing information.

VLAN ID

Enter the VLAN ID for the LAN segment. By default, VLAN ID is set to 1 and native VLAN is enabled for untagged traffic.

You can use VLAN IDs in the following ranges to configure LAN segments:

• SRX Series Firewalls (single and dual CPE) and vSRX Virtual Firewall: 1 – 4094 (in releases prior to CSO Release 6.2.0, the range is 1 – 4049)

• NFX250 (single and dual CPE) and NFX150 devices: 1 - 4049

Use for Native VLAN

Enable this option to use the VLAN ID specified above for untagged traffic. The CPE interface is configured with a native-vlan-id, which has the same value as the VLAN ID.

Department

Select a department to which the LAN segment is assigned.

Alternatively, click the Create Department link to create a new department and assign the LAN segment to it. See Add a Department for details.

You can group LAN segments as departments for ease of management and for applying policies at the department-level. For LAN segments that are dynamically routed, you can assign only a data center department.

Gateway Address/Mask

Enter a valid gateway IP address and mask for the LAN segment. This address will be the default gateway for endpoints in this LAN segment.

For example: 192.0.2.8/24.

Zone

Select a security zone to be associated with this LAN segment. Alternatively click Create Zone to create a new security zone and assign that to this LAN segment. See Adding a Security Zone for details.

DHCP

For directly connected LAN segments, click the toggle button to enable DHCP.

You can enable DHCP if you want to assign IP addresses by using a DHCP server or disable DHCP if you want to assign a static IP address to the LAN segment.

Additional fields related to DHCP

Address Range Low

Enter the starting IP address in the range of IP addresses that can be allocated by the DHCP server to the LAN segment.

Address Range High

Enter the ending IP address in the range of IP addresses that can be allocated by the DHCP server to the LAN segment.

Maximum Lease Time

Specify the maximum duration (in seconds) for which a client can request for and hold a lease on the DHCP server.

Default: 1440

Range: 0 through 4,294,967,295 seconds.

Name Server

Specify one or more IPv4 addresses of the DNS server.

To enter more than one DNS server address, type the address, press Enter, and then type the next address.

CPE Ports

For sites with SD-WAN capability, the CPE Ports field is disabled and the CPE ports that you can include in the LAN segment are listed.

Select the ports from the Available column and click the right-arrow to move the ports to the Selected column.

Static Routing

Use this section to configure static routing on the LAN segment. Provide the IP addresses of all the LAN routers connected to the CPE device and the static subnets behind these routers.

Add LAN Router IP Prefix

LAN Router IP

Enter the IP address of the LAN router that is connected to the CPE device.

Prefix

Enter the subnets that are connected to the LAN router.

BFD

Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) to detect any failures on the static route.

Dynamic Routing

Routing Protocol

Enable this toggle button to configure dynamic routing using the BGP or OSPF protocol.

BFD

Enable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) to detect any failures in the LAN segment.

Protocol

Select either BGP or OSPF.

BGP Configuration

Authentication

Select the BGP route authentication method to be used:

• None—Indicates that no authentication should be used. This is the default.

• Use MD5—Indicates that MD5 is to be used for authentication. If you choose this option, you must specify an authentication key.

Auth Key

If you specified that MD5 should be used for authentication, specify an MD5 authentication key (password), which is used to verify the authenticity of BGP packets.

BGP Options

You can select the following options based on your requirements:

• AS-OVERRIDE: Replaces all occurrences of the peer AS number in the AS path with its own AS number before advertising the route to the peer.

• AS-PATH-PREPEND: Prepends one or more autonomous system (AS) numbers at the beginning of an AS path. Prepending an AS path makes a shorter AS path look longer and therefore it becomes less preferable to BGP.

• AS-LOOP: Allows the local device’s AS number to be added in the received AS paths. You can specify the number of times the detection of local AS is allowed in the AS path.

Loop Count

This field is displayed only if you select AS-LOOP.

Enter the maximum number of times the detection of local AS is allowed in the AS path.

Peer IP Address

Enter the IP address of the LAN BGP peer.

Peer AS Number

Enter the autonomous system (AS) number of the LAN BGP peer. By default, CSO uses the AS number 64512. You can enter a different AS number.

Local AS Number

Enter the local AS number. When you configure this parameter, the local AS number is used for BGP peering instead of the global AS number configured for the CPE.

OSPF Configuration

OSPF Area ID

Specify the OSPF area identifier to be used for the dynamic route.

Authentication

Select the OSPF route authentication method to be used:

• Password—Indicates that password-based authentication should be used. If you choose this option, you must specify the password. (This is the default).

• Use MD5—Indicates that MD5 is to be used for authentication. If you choose this option, you must specify an authentication key.

• None—Indicates that no authentication should be used.

Password

Enter the password to be used to verify the authenticity of OSPF packets.

Confirm Password

Retype the password for confirmation purposes.

MD5 Auth Key ID

If you specified that MD5 should be used for authentication, enter the OSPF MD5 authentication key ID.

Range: 1 through 255.

Auth Key

If you specified that MD5 should be used for authentication, enter an MD5 authentication key, which is used to verify the authenticity of OSPF packets.

Route Advertisement Control

LAN Route(s) to Overlay

When this option is enabled, LAN routes are advertised to the remote CPEs. By default, this option is enabled.

Overlay Route(s) to LAN

This option is displayed only if you enable the Routing Protocol toggle button. By default, this option is disabled.

Enable this option to advertise the remote CPE routes received in a department to the LAN router.

Aggr/Static Routes to Overlay

Enable this option to allow advertisement of of summarized routes as static or aggregate routes to the overlay network.

• If a large number of LAN routes are present, then you can disable the LAN Route(s) to Overlay option and use this option to advertise aggregate routes.

• If you want to advertise additional routes, then you can enable the LAN Route(s) to Overlay option and use this option to advertise additional static routes.
