    Posted May 22, 2013 05:51 AM

    Hi,

     

    Is there any method to see connection number, aka conntrack number? I would like to see the connection stats about the statefull router performance?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Try running :

     

    #show datapath session counters

     

    Does this provide the output you require?

    A minor question comes up?

     

    According to these stats what is MAX, What is Total. I mean how to understand these values?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    show datapath session counters

    PS: I Know this:

    total entries, allocation failures, duplicate entries, cross linked entries, number of reverse
    entries and maximum link length.

    Maximum Entries is the maximum amount the controller can support

    Total is the amount of entries over time that the controller has seen

     

    You can clear those too by using the clear datapath session counters.

    So this means that I have about 524287 entry and above this level It will start to drop?

     

    I have enabled statefull firewall and I am seeing lots of drop? But I know that these flows started from the inside. Can it be early timeout? Is there  a place to see timeout values?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Where are you seeing these drops ?

     

    You should do a show  datapath route and show  datapath route-cache ?

     

    It depends of what type of timeouts you are looking for?

    Let me explain a little bit? I am using the controller as a router and wrote an ACL for that. No user database. Today I saw lots of drops on the states that not initiated from inside. e.g.

     

    udp 17 161 src=10.10.16.139 dst=31.59.94.201 sport=19489 dport=46173 src=31.59.94.201 dst=10.10.16.139 sport=46173 dport=19489 [ASSURED] mark=0 use=1

     

    related packet dropped by aruba is:

     

    May 22 16:56:19 :124006: <WARN> |authmgr| {15698740} UDP srcip=31.59.94.201 srcport=46173 dstip=10.10.16.139 dstport=19489, action=deny, policy=wrd_mgmt_dny

     

    I changed the src IP addresses. So there seems to be something wrong. I like to find it.

    Please share the output of the following of this command :

     

    show  datapath route

     

    And your ACL and where do you have it applied

    Better not to give public on the list. Can I send this in private?
