Re: [c-nsp] NAT logging ASR1k

2018-07-08 Thread Patrick Cole
T,

We are having around 200-300k non-CGNAT translations on ASR1001-X and using 
Netflow Event
Logging.  The CPU on average is less than 20%. 

Regards,

Patrick

Well I guess if you stick around in networking for long time you kind of get 
exposed to some of these to a certain level on a day job, some of it was 
covered in school in various levels of detail, and to some of these concepts we 
(networkers) get a specific very narrow filed exposure I'd say, like in your 
example of databases -well various protocol tables are good examples of 
decentralized distributed databases, then some Network OS-es are good examples 
of distributed operating systems. So I guess it then just boils down to the 
willingness of and individual to understand these concepts on an ever more 
fundamental level -with every next interaction with these. Maybe it draws one 
more towards the software development side or perhaps more towards the somewhat 
holistic understanding of the networking discipline through graph theory and 
complex adaptive systems.

Re: [c-nsp] NAT logging ASR1k

Bulk logging and port block allocation (PBA)?  

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipaddr_nat/configuration/xe-3s/nat-xe-3s-book/iadnat-bpa.html

I do PBA in groups of 100 ports on my CGNAT deployment (juniper) and use syslog 
to log.  Using port block allocation caused the syslogging to slow down 
significantly

We've been running the 6880-X as core switch since 2014. No major issues
to report of in all of that time, but again, these just do simple Layer
2 Ethernet switching in the core.

We've ran them in smaller PoP's that have been happy with N x 10Gbps
links in the core. For larger core PoP's, we've deployed 100Gbps on
Arista's 7508E's.

If you are looking for something nice and simple, the 6880-X is
reasonably priced. Just watch for those 16x 10Gbps line cards; they are
actually oversubscribed 2:1; so like us, you'd do well to run each of
them at 80Gbps maximum so you don't have to worry about this.

The Nexus switches are too costly. If you aren't looking for anything
fancy, I'd stay away from them.

I'd also advise you to look at the Arista switches. CLI-wise, it is
essentially IOS, so not much for you to learn apart from Arista-specific
things which, IMHO for such a use-case, is only about 20% of the CLI.
Price-wise, you can do a good deal with them.

Mark.

[c-nsp] NAT logging ASR1k

2018-07-08 Thread ringbit
Hi everybody,

Have an ASR 1006 doing NAT translations, it is having  around 300k+ and wanted 
to ask for a recommendation about logging those NAT translations. 

Tried it with a collector via Netflow v9 with the export command "ip nat log 
translationsflow-export v9 udp destination"  command the CPU spiked to 100%. 

Is there a recommendation as a workaround or have alternative solution which is 
easy on resources to those massive NAT translations?

Thanks,
T.
