08-Cascaded Cluster and Dual-Node Active-Standby Configuration Example

Feature Overview

AFC supports multiple deployment modes to accommodate traffic scrubbing needs across various scenarios, which can be classified into inline deployment and bypass deployment.

This chapter focuses on inline dual-machine cluster deployment and inline dual-machine active-standby configuration. For bypass deployment, please refer to the relevant documentation.

In inline deployment, AFC operates in transparent mode, where the abnormal traffic scrubbing device is deployed in-line at the network egress of the protected environment. This ensures that attack traffic is filtered before reaching the servers, while legitimate traffic continues uninterrupted.

Feature Usage

This document is not strictly version-bound to specific software or hardware versions. If discrepancies arise between the document content and the actual product during use, the products actual status shall prevail.

All configurations described in this document were performed and validated in a laboratory environment,with all device parameters set to factory default values. If you have already configured the device, to ensure configuration effectiveness, please verify that your existing configuration does not conflict with the examples provided below.

This document assumes that you have prior knowledge of VLAN and link aggregation features.

 

Configuration Guide

H3C's abnormal traffic scrubbing and detection system consists of AFD devices, AFC devices, and switch devices. The basic configuration of switch devices is performed via the command line interface (CLI). For AFC devices, both basic configuration and service-related configurations are implemented through the web-based management interface. This configuration guide uses a standalone AFC deployment scenario for traffic scrubbing as an example.

 

Traffic Scrubbing Service Configuration Guide

·     Cluster Deployment

To deploy AFC devices in a cluster mode, configure link aggregation on the core switch R3 first. Then connect all input interfaces of the AFC cluster devices to the aggregated port group on the upstream switch, and connect all output interfaces of the AFC cluster devices to the aggregated port group on the core switch R3

·     Active-Standby Deployment

To deploy AFC devices in active-standby mode, connect the WAN-facing interfaces of both primary and standby units to the same VLAN on the upstream switch, and link their LAN-facing interfaces to the corresponding VLAN on the downstream switch, enabling the system to comprehensively scrub and filter all inbound and outbound network traffic through seamless failover protection.

Precautions

·     Ensure AFC devices in active-standby or cluster deployment share identical hardware models and software versions.

·     The upstream core switch R3 used for AFC inline cluster deployment must support port aggregation functionality

·     Configuration commands vary across switches/routers from different vendors and models. Always refer to the specific device's operation manual for configuration procedures.

For AFC inline cluster deployment, the port aggregation type (static or dynamic) between upper and lower switches is not restricted as it depends on the switches' own capabilities, and static aggregation is recommended.

 

Example Configuration of AFC Series Deployment in a Dual-Server Cluster

 Introduction

This chapter describes the configuration procedures for setting up an AFC series deployment in a dual-server cluster.

Usage Restrictions

The web application security feature is prohibited in serial-mode dual-server cluster deployments.

Example Configuration of Serial Dual-Server Cluster

Applicable Products and Versions

Software Version: H3C i-Ware Software, Version 7.1, ESS 6401P02.

Networking Requirements

To enable traffic scrubbing for the protected IP 171.0.3.21, the AFC devices are deployed in-line within the customer's network. The serial external interfaces of the AFC cluster connect to the port aggregation group on Core Switch R2, while the serial internal interfaces of all AFC devices connect to the port aggregation group on Downstream Switch R3. The AFC system inspects and filters the mixed traffic before forwarding it to the downstream network. The networking topology is illustrated in Figure 3-1.

[AFC] Interface Naming (Reference Only)

The specific interface names are determined by the actual device model. This section provides guidance only.

 

Configuration Approach

To implement the AFC serial deployment cluster configuration, follow the steps below:

(1) Core Switch R2 Basic Network Configuration

Configure port aggregation groups with identical attributes (e.g., VLAN settings assigned to VLAN 1711).

(2) Downstream Switch R3 Basic Network Configuration

Configure port aggregation groups with identical attributes (e.g., VLAN settings assigned to VLAN 1711).

(3) AFC Device 1 Service Port Configuration

Configure GE1/0 of all AFC cluster devices as serial external network ports and connect them to the aggregation group of Core Switch R2.

Configure GE1/1 of all AFC cluster devices as serial internal network ports and connect them to the aggregation group of Downstream Switch R3.

(4) AFC Cluster Management Configuration

Use the web interface to designate the second device as a node.

On the first device's web interface, add the second device to form the cluster management.

 

Configuration Steps

Core Switch R2 Basic Network Configuration

Create VLAN 1711, mapping the IP segment 171.0.1.0/24 to VLAN 1711. This ensures all AFC cluster devices' serial external and internal network ports reside in the same VLAN.

Note: For configuration steps containing the [Apply Configuration] button, you must click it to activate the settings. The same configuration procedure applies to Cluster Device 2 as for the primary Cluster Device 1.

 

AFC Device Cluster Management Configuration

To facilitate unified management of multiple AFC devices in a cluster, this document designates the first device as the primary web management node and the second device as a subordinate node. The primary device's web interface is used to add the IP management address of the second device, enabling centralized management of the cluster.

 

Ø     Configure AFC Cluster Device 2 as Subordinate Node

To set Device 2 as a subordinate node in the AFC cluster: First, log in to its web management interface, then manually modify the URL to https://192.168.0.2/role and press Enter. On the role configuration page, click the [Node] button to switch the device role, using the same web login credentials (username/password) as currently authenticated. Refer to the following figure for the operation interface.

Ø     Add Subordinate Node to AFC Cluster Device 1

To integrate Cluster Device 2 into the AFC cluster, first log in to the primary device (Device 1) via https://192.168.0.1, navigate through the menu path [System] [Device] [Device Management], then input the management IP address 192.168.0.2 of Node 2 in the designated field to establish unified cluster management. Refer to the corresponding interface diagram for visual guidance.

 

After completing the addition, wait for 60 seconds to allow the device activation process to complete.

Typical Configuration Example for AFC Series Redundant Deployment (Active-Standby Mode)

Introduction

This chapter describes the configuration procedures for implementing active-standby redundancy in AFC series deployment.

Usage Restrictions

1、     The web application security function is prohibited in series deployment with active-standby redundancy.

2、     Series deployment applies to scenarios where customers require real-time full-link inspection and cleansing of inbound/outbound network traffic, or when there is no Layer 3 routing device in the customer's network infrastructure to enable bypass deployment. The active-standby redundancy deployment ensures uninterrupted protection and network operation in case of primary device failure.

3、     After successfully enabling active-standby mode, administrators must log in to the management system via the floating IP address; otherwise, system operations of both active and standby units may be affected.

4、     Synchronization ports must be configured before enabling active-standby redundancy; otherwise, data synchronization between primary and standby devices cannot be performed.

 

Example Configuration for Series Deployment with Active-Standby Redundancy

Applicable Products and Versions

Software Version: H3C i-Ware Software, Version 7.1, ESS 6401P02.

 

Network Requirements

Figure 4-1 Network Topology Diagram for AFC Series Deployment with Active-Standby Redundancy Configuration

  

 

The specific implementation is as follows:

·     Connect the active/standby AFC devices' serial external interfaces GE0/1 to the upstream switch's VLAN 1711.

·     Connect the active/standby AFC devices' serial external interfaces GE0/2 to the downstream switch's VLAN 1711.

·     The connection interface between the core switch and the AFC's cascaded external network port

·     The gateway address of the lower-layer network

·     The VLAN IDs of the upper and lower layer networks, and the VLAN where the protected host resides

 

 

The VLAN IDs configured on the uplink/downlink switches connected to the active/standby AFC devices must match. Mismatched VLAN IDs may cause active-standby failover failure.

The specific interface names are determined by the actual device model. This section provides guidance only.

 

Configuration Design Approach

To implement the AFC series deployment with active-standby redundancy, follow the configuration guidelines below:

(1)     Core Switch R2 Basic Network Configuration

Configure port aggregation groups with identical attributes (e.g., all ports in the same VLAN 1711).

(2)     Downstream Switch R3 Basic Network Configuration

Configure port aggregation groups with identical attributes (e.g., all ports in the same VLAN 1711).

(3)     AFC Device add api authentication whitelist(Bidirectional IP Address Assignment Between Two Network Devices)

(4)     AFC Device 1 Service Port Configuration

Set GE1/0 as the serial external interface and connect it to the aggregation group of core switch R2.

Configure GE1/1 of all AFC cluster devices as serial internal interfaces and connect them to the aggregation group of downstream switch R3.

(5)     AFC Device 2 Service Port Configuration

Set GE1/0 as the serial external interface and connect it to the aggregation group of core switch R2.

Configure GE1/1 of all AFC cluster devices as serial internal interfaces and connect them to the aggregation group of downstream switch R3.

(6)     AFC Device 1 & 2 Synchronization Port Configuration

Designate GE1/2 on both active and standby AFC devices as synchronization ports.

Use a gigabit Ethernet cable to directly connect the synchronization ports of the two devices.

(7)     Active-Standby Configuration for AFC Devices
 Access the "System > Platform Config > Active and Satandby" interface to configure primary/standby management (refer to Section 4.3.4, Step 4 for detailed procedures).

Configuration Procedures

Core Switch R2 Basic Network Configuration

Create VLAN 1711, which corresponds to the IP subnet 171.0.1.0/24. This configuration ensures that the serial external interfaces (GE0/1) of the active/standby AFC devices and their cascade ports operate within the same VLAN.
