2. Q. What are the supported scale numbers related to CGv6 features on ISM ?

A. Following table captures different supported scale numbers related to CGv6 features on ISM.

 

Parameter NameParameter Value per ISMParameter Value per ASR9K ChassisAdditional Comments
Number of CGN/CGv6 Instances16

Under one CGN/CGv6 instance, multiple CGv6 Applications (like, NAT44, DS-Lite, NAT64, etc.) are supported.

Number of ServiceInfra Interfaces16ServiceInfra interface is used to send Management / Control traffic related to CGv6. Hence, only 1 ServiceInfra interface per ISM card is needed.
Number of ServiceApp interfaces244244For running a CGv6 Application instance (like, NAT44, DS-Lite, etc.), you need a pair of ServiceApp interfaces. Hence, you can run at the most 122 CGv6 Application instances (of different types) per ASR9K.
Number of NAT44 instances16Within 1 NAT44 instance, multiple Inside VRFs are possible. Several parameters can be configured on per Inside VRF.
Number of DS-Lite instances6464Each DS-Lite instance would need 1 pair of ServiceApp interfaces.
Number of Stateful NAT64 instances6464Each Stateful NAT64 instance would need 1 pair of ServiceApp interfaces.
Number of MAP-T instances6464Each MAP-T instance would need 1 pair of ServiceApp interfaces.
Number of MAP-E instances6464Each MAP-E instance would need 1 pair of ServiceApp interfaces.
Number of 6RD instances6464Each 6RD instance would need 1 pair of ServiceApp interfaces.
Number of Stateful NAT Translations20 Millions120 MillionsNAT DB is shared across NAT44, Stateful NAT64 and DS-Lite Applications.
Number of NAT Sessions20 Millions120 MillionsNAT Session DB is shared across NAT44, Stateful NAT64 and DS-Lite Applications.
Number of NAT Users1 Million6 MillionsNAT User DB is shared across NAT44, Stateful NAT64 and DS-Lite Applications.
Number of Static Port Forwarding Entries6,00036,000 
Number of Public IPv4 addresses65536 or /16  
Number of VRFs122 (Inside) + 122 (Outside)122 (Inside) + 122 (Outside)

- As we support maximum of 244 ServiceApp interfaces, at the most, we need to have 122 Inside and 122 Outside VRF.

- You can have less number of Outside VRFs as well.

- Please note that ASR9K supports much higher number of VRFs in the chassis. This is only with respect to CGv6 Application on ISM.

Number of IPv4 Prefixes512K Related to forwarding.
Number of IPv6 Prefixes128K Related to forwarding.
Number of MPLS labels256K Related to forwarding. Increased to 256K from 4.3.0 release onwards.

 

 

3. Q. What is the roadmap of CGv6 features on ISM?

A. Please contact your Cisco Account Team or ASR9K Product Marketing team (whichever you have access to).

 

4. Q. When a specific feature will be supported on ISM?

A. Please contact your Cisco Account Team or ASR9K Product Marketing team (whichever you have access to).

Hi,

nice document, it will help me a lot because I have to configure NAT44 on a BNG for PPPoE subscribers.

We are using dualstack with IPv4 and IPv6 on the same session.

IPv4 address space is private RFC1918 and it has to be translated to a public one. IPv6 is of course public.

Subscribers are in a VRF and because NAT44 requires two VRFs, we will create an outside vrf.

My question is what happens with the IPv6 traffic? Does it just pass transparently throught the serviceapp interface to another service app interface, and then to the public internet?

I hope yes.

Your v4 traffic will be subject to translation, your v6 will not.

Note that there is only one vrf on the sub for both v4 and v6 traffic so you may want to use ABF or some other directive traffic mechanism to move the v4 traffic to the NAT engine and let v6 pass through and move via the general routing table.

(so comes down to a v4 access-group definition on the sub)

cheers!

Hi Xander,

I see that you cover everything

I checked my prepared config and I see that I have only a static route for ADF IPv4. If I don't forward IPv6 to service app then it will just not go through the ISM. Stupid me, too tired and  too much reading

Actually, you don't really need an outisde-VRF, you can perfectly use the Global Routing Table.

But indeed you may need to use an inside-VRF.

If your ingress physical interface (for i2o traffic) is assigned to this VRF, then you will need:

- a static (probably default) route to push your v4 traffic to the serviceApp inside (to the CGN engine)

- a static to "leak" your IPv6 traffic from the inside-VRF to the GRT (or the outside-VRF if you decide to use one).

If your ingress physical interface (for i2o traffic) is not assigned to this inside-VRF, then you will need:

- nothing for your v6 traffic, it will be routed naturally in the Global Routing Table to its destination

- an ABF matching the source/destination of your v4 traffic and pointing to the serviceApp interface in the inside-VRF (basically, a leak from GRT to inside-VRF via an ABF).

Finally, even if not used here, keep in mind that ABF for v6 traffic is not working on the first generation line cards (trident based).

Cheers,

N.

Hi Nicolas,

yes I understand, I can use the global RT (vrf default) as outside vrf.

In my case it is a little bit different. The BNG is a multi-vrf device and we are using vrf-lite, and in vrf default is only a static route for RADIUS traffic.

I will just leak the IPv6 traffic from inside to outside vrf. I have a couple more ideas and I will test it tomorrow.

Thank you!

Hi again,

CGN is working for one inside vrf (dualstack) which is PPPoE. Now I need to add a new inside vrf (ipoe) which is IPoE

but NAT is working only for vrf dualstack. I have to check with you if this is a valid config. I checked the config guide and I see that it's possible to add multiple inside vrfs, but in the guide different outside-vrf are used.

Both public subnet are in the RIB of the PE, so it's not a routing issue.

The working inside vrf is PPPoE, and the one which is NOT working is IPoE. I can ping the GW (loopback) and the DHCP server but Internet is not working.

PPoE private subnet is a /16, and IPoE is a /16, too. Public subnets are /29, but port limit is at max.

Maybe you have an idea.

p.s. ISM module has been reloaded twice. The second time because "show cgn nat44 NAT44_1 statistics" was giving an error "core response failure".

Here is the "show cgn trace master-agent apply reverse" output. I see some messages about no free ports etc.

I tried with a large public subnet 5.0.0.0/19 but still no translations on the ISM module. Only the working one...

Hi,

Please take a look at https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-37514#Multiple_Outside_ServiceApps_sharing_same_Outside_VRF. You need to use "outsideServiceApp <>" option in "map" CLI command.

regards,

Somnath.

Hi,

thanks Somnath. I tried this to a few hours ago and it was not working.

I tried it again and I have the same problem. Only IPs in the dualstack vrf with PPPoE are being translated.

I have this config now and I for example this show command is working only for dualstack, and not for ipoe.

Here is the solution/workaround...thanks to Cisco TAC and Cisco developers.

Hardware programming was wrong on ISM card for VRF IPOE where both

ServiceApp3 and ServiceApp4 where programmed as Outside.

Normally App3 should be inside and App4 should be outside.

Workaround:

=================

Restarting "cgn_ma" process resolved the problem.

Cisco is working on a fix for this issue.

I never tried to restart the proces because first inside VRF was always working. I reloaded the ISM three times.

A simple proces restart solves the problem

Well, I am glad that this issue is solved now.

I knew it's serious when I saw three developers in the webex session .

Now I know why we had this message: No Free Ports Available reqmsg:in-vrf-id: '0x60000007

And of course that I will update this thread so I can help others like they are helping me by sharing such information.

Hi,

 

one question. 

Do you plan to add source based NAT? 

e.g. we match a subnet and this subnet is translated to a public pool 1

Second subnet is matched and translated to public pool 2.

 

For now we can do this with different inside VRF's, but this is not scalable.

And different customer will get an address from different pools (I am talking about BNG and RADIUS).

We have a service where we are routing some customers to SCE and later to Ironport (now WSA) for inspection and filtering.

 

I checked the config guide of 4.3.x and 5.1.x and could not find anything.

Hi,

An alternate solution exists to this requirement.

You still need to have one inside-VRF per map-pool or group of map-pools (in the future), that's true. But we can rely on ABF to push the traffic to one or another pool based on source addresses. You can have hundreds of access-list entries in your ABF, each one matching a source range and using a Next-Hop address in the proper VRF.

I don't know your particular needs, so you may have hundreds of translation pools and that's why you consider it non-scalable. But most of the customers I know are using a few ranges for translation (less than a dozen), so it's an acceptable effort to configure the inside-VRF. Then you can have super large ACL for your ABF pointing in these VRFs.

HTH,

N.

Hi,

 

you are right about ABF. I had a conversation with our customer regarding ABF. We can use that, but in my opinion source based NAT, just like we are using it on regular IOS (matching ACL) whould be nice.

It makes things more simple to be honest.

 

Many thanks for the quick reply.
