Send TCP traffic to syslog server

  • 1.  Send TCP traffic to syslog server

    Posted Apr 22, 2013 12:30 PM

    We have a bunch of RAP's connected over the internet to a mobility controller - we would like to see TCP traffic ( ie: RDP traffic ) from behind the RAP to the internal network of the mobility controller sent to a syslog server. So far we have tried a few times and no luck

     

    We called TAC  and they said that is not supported at the moment and that i can use the show datapath session command instead.

     

    We would eventually like to send the syslog data to our SIEM solution.

     

    RAP-2WG and 650 mobility controller version 6.1.3.3

     

    Thanks,

    Paolo

    What layer2 VLAN is the host on and can it be tunneled through the controller to your infrastructure?  That is the only way.

    Which host are you referring to ? If you are referring to the Server where the clients/user connect via RDP is on then yes it is tunneled through the controller.

     

    Ex. Vlan 1 - management side of the controller / same vlan where the syslog server is / same vlan where the Server that the clients connect to.

          Vlan 2 - Client ip / 192.168.80.0 ( remote user )

     

    Thanks

    Please let us know what are you trying to do and how it is supposed to function.  What is the purpose of the transport and how should it work?

    When you say you want to "See" the traffic behind a RAP, do you mean wired or wireless traffic?  Does it Pass Through the RAP?  If it passes through the RAP, the "show datapath session table" command is the only way we can even see this.  If it is not a client on the RAP, we cannot log traffic.

    We would like to see both wired and wireless traffic and yes it passes through the rap and yes it is a client on the RAP

     

    Ok so that kind of traffic doesnt get logged and it only shows via using the command "show datapath session table" ?

    If it is a client on the RAP, you need to create an ACL in the user role that allows traffic for RDP and then check "log" on the ACL.  It would then show up in the security log.  You can ONLY use this method for clients on a tunneled SSID, or wired tunneled traffic.

     

    http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/ArubaOS-and-Controllers/How-to-perform-legal-interception/td-p/3823

     

    If it is NOT tunneled, the only method is the "show datapath" method.

    I already have logging enabled on the acl / user role and i dont see the syslog event. I have the logging level on the security category all at debugging at the moment also

    Well, type "show acl hits" to see if it is even hitting your ACL.  You might not have it configured.  By default it only logs the first packet in a conversation, not every packet.

    Are you sure you are looking for the correct RDP port?  You should put it in manually AND make sure the client is assigned to the role with that ACL.

     

    You should also do "show datapath session table <ip address of a client>" to ensure they are sending traffic to that host on that port.

    Are you sure that the Role your users end up in has that ACL?

     



  • 15.  RE: Send TCP traffic to syslog server

    Posted Apr 22, 2013 03:12 PM

    Yes because i use one role and one acl for each RAP. I just checked it again and its definitley right.

     

    I changed the ACL on that role to "block" RDP and it did.

    Is the wireless traffic on a TUNNELED SSID?  Is the wired traffic on a tunnel port on the access point?  That is one reason why you would not see it.  If you verified that it is the correct role and it is tunneled, support will have to take a look at it.

     

    If they told you that you could only use "show datapath session table" it would be because it is not tunneled.

    Posted Apr 22, 2013 03:22 PM

    I think it is but I am not 100% sure if the wireless traffic is on a tunneled SSID . How can i verify that ?

    The RAP's where set to SPLIT-TUNNEL. When i change it to TUNNEL , I see the syslog event.

     

    I need the RAP configured to SPLIT-TUNNEL though so i can guess i will put in a FEATURE REQUEST.

     

    Thanks for your help !
