display connection-limit ipv6-stat-nodes

Use display connection-limit ipv6-stat-nodes to display statistics about IPv6 connections that match connection limit rules globally or on an interface.

Syntax

In standalone mode:

display connection-limit ipv6-stat-nodes { global | interface interface-type interface-number } [ { deny-new | permit-new } | destination destination-ip | service-port port-number | source source-ip ] * [ count ]

In IRF mode:

display connection-limit ipv6-stat-nodes { global | interface interface-type interface-number } [ slot slot-number ] [ { deny-new | permit-new } | destination destination-ip | service-port port-number | source source-ip ] * [ count ]

Parameters

global: Displays statistics about IPv6 connections that match connection limit rules globally.

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. This option is available only when you specify the global keyword or specify a virtual interface, such as a VLAN-interface and tunnel interface. (In IRF mode.)

deny-new: Displays limit rule-based statistics sets of which new connections are rejected.

permit-new: Displays limit rule-based statistics sets of which new connections are allowed.

destination destination-ip: Specifies a destination by its IP address.

service-port port-number: Specifies a service port by its port number.

source source-ip: Specifies a source by its IP address.

count: Displays only the number of limit rule-based statistics sets. Detailed information about the specified IPv6 connections is not displayed. If you do not specify this keyword, the command displays detailed information about the specified IPv6 connections that match connection limit rules.

Usage guidelines

The statistics for this command include the following information:

·     Connection information, including the source/destination IP address, service port, and transport layer protocol of connections.

·     Matching connection limit rules.

·     Number of current connections.

·     Whether or not new connections can be created.

To further filter the output statistics, specify the following options in the command:

·     source source-ip.

·     destination destination-ip.

·     service-port port-number.

·     permit-new.

·     deny-new.

For example, if you specify the source source-ip and destination destination-ip combination, this command displays statistics about IPv6 connections that match connection limit rules by source IP address and destination IP address.

If you specify none of the previously mentioned parameters, this command displays statistics about all IPv6 connections that match connection limit rules.

Deleting or modifying an IPv6 connection limit policy will not delete the effective IPv6 connection limit rule-based statistics sets. An IPv6 connection limit rule-based statistics set will be automatically deleted after all the IPv6 connections for the set are disconnected.

Service	Protocol name and service port number. For an unwell-known protocol, this field displays unknown(xx). The cross signs (xx) represents the protocol number. For the ICMP protocol, the protocol number is the decimal digits that are converted from the hexadecimal contents of the type and code fields.
Sessions threshold Hi/Lo	Upper and lower connection limits.
Sessions count	Number of current connections.
Sessions limit rate	Maximum number of connections established per second.
New session flag	Whether or not new connections can be created: ·     Permit—New connections can be created. ·     Deny—New connections cannot be created. NOTE: When the number of connections reaches the upper limit, this field displays Permit although new connections are not allowed. This field displays Deny only when the number of connections exceeds the upper limit.

Parameters

limit-id: Specifies a connection limit rule by its ID in the range of 1 to 256.

acl: Specifies the ACL that matches the user range. Only the user connections that match the ACL are limited.

ipv6: Specifies an IPv6 ACL. If you do not specify this keyword, an IPv4 ACL is used.

acl-number: Specifies an ACL by its number in the range of 2000 to 3999.

name acl-name: Specifies an ACL by its name. The acl-name argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. It must start with an English letter. To avoid confusion, it cannot be all.

per-destination: Limits connections by destination IP address.

per-service: Limits connections by service depending on transport layer protocol and service port.

per-source: Limits connections by source IP address.

amount: Limits the number of connections.

max-amount: Specifies the upper connection limit in the range of 1 to 4294967294. When user connections in a range or of a type exceed the upper connection limit, new connections cannot be created.

min-amount: Specifies the lower connection limit in the range of 1 to 4294967294. The lower connection limit cannot be greater than the upper connection limit. New connections cannot be created until the connection number goes below the lower connection limit.

rate: Limits the connection establishment rate.

rate: Specifies the maximum number of connections established per second. The value range is 5 to 10000000.

description text: Specifies a description for the connection limit rule, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 127 characters. By default, a connection limit rule does not have a description.

Usage guidelines

Each connection limit policy can define multiple rules, and each rule must specify the used ACL, rule type, and either of upper/lower connection limit and connection establishment rate limit. In one rule, you can specify one or multiple of the keywords per-destination, per-source, and per-service. For example, if the per-destination and per-source combination is specified, connections are limited by the source IP address and destination IP address. Connections with the same source IP address and destination IP address are the same type.

When you configure a connection limit rule, follow these guidelines:

·     Different rules in the same connection limit policy must use different ACLs.

·     If you specify none of the per-destination, per-source, and per-service keywords, all connections that match the specified ACL are limited by the specified value.

·     When the connections established on a device are matched against a connection limit policy, the limit rules in the policy are matched in ascending order of rule ID.

·     When the specified ACL changes, the connections that have been established are limited by the new connection limit policy.

Examples

# Configure connection limit rule 1 for IPv4 connection limit policy 1:

1.     Configure ACL 3000.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] acl advanced 3000

[Sysname-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] rule permit ip source 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255

[Sysname-acl-ipv4-adv-3000] quit

2.     Limit connections that match ACL 3000 by the source and destination IP addresses, with the upper limit 2000, lower limit 1800, and establishment rate 10 per second.

[Sysname] connection-limit policy 1

[Sysname-connlmt-policy-1] limit 1 acl 3000 per-destination per-source amount 2000 1800 rate 10

3.     Verify that when the connection number exceeds 2000, new connections cannot be established until the connection number goes below 1800. (Details not shown.)

# Configure connection limit rule 2 for IPv6 connection limit policy 12:

1.     Configure ACL 2001.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] acl ipv6 basic 2001

[Sysname-acl-ipv6-basic-2001] rule permit source 2:1::/96

[Sysname-acl-ipv6-basic-2001] quit

2.     Limit connections that match ACL 2001 by the source and destination IP addresses, with the upper limit 200, lower limit 100, and establishment rate 10 per second.

[Sysname] connection-limit ipv6-policy 12

[Sysname-connlmt-ipv6-policy-12] limit 2 acl ipv6 2001 per-destination amount 200 100 rate 10

3.     Verify that when the connection number exceeds 200, new connections cannot be established until the connection number goes below 100. (Details not shown.)
