Configuring SAVA

About SAVA

Source Address Validation Architecture (SAVA) checks the validity of the source IPv6 address of packets based on routing information to prevent source IPv6 address spoofing attacks.

A SAVA-enabled interface creates SAVA entries based on routes that use the interface as the outgoing interface. Upon receiving an IPv6 packet on the interface, the device searches for a SAVA entry that contains the source IPv6 address and the receiving interface. If a match is found, the device forwards the packet. If no match is found, the device discards the packet.

SAVA is typically deployed on the border devices of the backbone network connecting to an access network.

Benefits

As shown in Figure 1, asymmetric routing might occur in an IPv6 multiple-access network. The outgoing interface for a return packet might be different from the incoming interface of the original packet. You can enable strict uRPF check on interface 1 of Device B to prevent attacks with spoofed source IPv6 addresses. However, strict uRPF check might determine that a valid packet from the LAN as an attack packet based on local routing information, which causes unexpected packet drop.

Compared with uRPF, SAVA can not only prevent source IPv6 address spoofing attacks but also avoid mistaken packet drop caused by asymmetric routing. When SAVA is enabled on interface 1 of both Device A and Device B, the devices can create SAVA entries based on local routes and remote routes synchronized from other routing protocols. In this way, both the devices have consistent SAVA entries. This ensures that packets of valid users will not be mistakenly dropped on either a asymmetric network or a symmetric network with asymmetric routing.

Figure 1 SAVA-enabled network

‌

Mechanism

The mechanism of SAVA includes obtaining prefixes of valid users, creating SAVA entries based on the prefixes, and using SAVA entries to filter IPv6 packets.

Obtaining prefixes of valid users

On an IPv6 multiple access network, each border device on the backbone network obtains prefix information of all users in the LAN based on the following types of routes:

Local routes—Each border device obtains prefix information of users in the LAN from local routes, including direct routes, static routes, and dynamic routes for the interfaces connecting to the LAN.

Remote routes synchronized from other routing protocols—Each border device adds the same tag to the local routes for the LAN and redistributes the routes to other border devices through a routing protocol. All the border devices import the remote routes with the specified tag and then obtain prefix information from these routes. In this way, all border devices have consistent prefix information of valid users.

Creating SAVA entries

Each border device creates SAVA entries for the SAVA-enabled interfaces based on prefix information of valid users. A SAVA entry includes a prefix, prefix length, and binding interface.

Filtering user packets based on SAVA entries

When a SAVA-enabled interface receives an IPv6 packet from the LAN, SAVA validates the source IPv6 address of the packet. It searches for a SAVA entry that includes the interface by the source IPv6 address. If a match is found, SAVA permits the packet. If no match is found, SAVA drops the packet.

Application scenarios

Deployed on intra-AS border devices directedly connected to the LAN

As shown in Figure 2, users in the LAN connect to the backbone network through Device B and Device C. Device B is configured with two gateways addresses (2000::1/64 and 2001::1/64). Device C is configured with the gateway address (2000::2/64).

You can configure SAVA on interface 1 of both Device B and Device C. When Device C receives an IPv6 route with prefix 2001::/64 from Device B, it creates an SAVA entry with this prefix. Then, upon receiving an IPv6 packet from a user at 2001::/64, Device C will permit the packet because a matching SAVA entry exists.

Figure 2 SAVA deployed on border devices directly connected to the LAN

‌

Deployed on intra-AS border devices indirectedly connected to the LAN

As shown in Figure 3, asymmetric traffic exists between Device D and the LAN after route convergence. Traffic from Device D to the LAN will traverse Device E, Device C, Device B, and Device A. Traffic from the LAN to Device D will traverse only Device A.

You can configure SAVA on interface 1 of both Device B and Device D. Device B and Device D synchronize routes with each other, obtain prefix information of the LAN based on the synchronized remote routes, and then create SAVA entries. Upon receiving a packet from a user in the LAN, Device C will permit the packet because a matching SAVA entry exists.

Figure 3 SAVA deployed on intra-AS border devices indirectly connected to the LAN

‌

Delpoyed on inter-AS border devices indirectedly connected to the LAN

As shown in Figure 4, asymmetric traffic exists between Device D and the LAN after route convergence. Traffic from Device D to the LAN will traverse Device E, Device C, Device B, and Device A. Traffic from the LAN to Device D will traverse only Device A.

You can configure SAVA on interface 1 of both Device B and Device D. Device B and Device C in AS 100 as well as Device D and Device E in AS 200 synchronize local routes with each other through an IGP protocol (OSPFv3, for example). Then, Device C in AS 100 and Device E in AS 200 synchronize routes with each other through BGP. Upon receiving a packet from a user in the LAN, Device C will permit the packet because a matching SAVA entry exists.

SAVA tasks at a glance

To configure SAVA, perform the following tasks:

1.     Enabling SAVA

2.     Enabling SAVA entry creation based on synchronized remote routes

Perform this task if the LAN connects to the backbone network through multiple border devices and interfaces on the border devices do not have prefix information of all user in the LAN.

3.     Adding an interface to a SAVA access group

Perform this task if a border device has multiple interfaces connected to the same LAN.

4.     Configuring SAVA logging

Enabling SAVA

Restrictions and guidelines

If the device has a large number of routing entries, it might take a long time for the device to complete SAVA entry creation. Before SAVA entry creation completes, valid IPv6 packets might be dropped.

SAVA is not supported on tunnel endpoints.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Enable SAVA on the interface.

ipv6 sava enable

By default, SAVA is disabled.

Enabling SAVA entry creation based on synchronized remote routes

About this task

Perform this task to ensure that the border devices through which users in a LAN connects to the backbone network have the same SAVA entries to avoid mistaken packet drop.

Each border device adds a route tag to local routes based on which SAVA entries are created and then advertises the tagged local routes to the other border devices through a routing protocol. Then, other border devices will create SAVA entries upon receiving the tagged routes advertised by other border devices. In this way, the border devices maintain consistent SAVA entries.

Prerequisites

Before you enable SAVA entry creation based on synchronized remote routes, you must complete one of the following tasks:

·     Configure OSPFv3 link tag inheritance

Perform this task if OSPFv3 runs on the network. For more information about OSPFv3 link tag inheritance, see OSPFv3 configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

·     Configure IPv6 IS-IS link tag inheritance

Perform this task if IPv6 IS-IS runs on the network. For more information about IPv6 IS-IS link tag inheritance, see IS-IS configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Enable the device to create SAVA entries based on synchronized remote routes with the specified route tag.

ipv6 sava import remote-route-tag tag

By default, the device does not create SAVA entries based on synchronized remote routes.

Adding an interface to a SAVA access group

About this task

If the device has multiple interfaces connected to the same LAN, each interface creates SAVA entries only based on its local routes. When an interface receives a packet from the LAN for which the interface has no matching SAVA entry, the packet will be discarded.

To resolve this issue, you can add the interfaces to a SAVA access group. The interfaces in the same SAVA access group will synchronize SAVA entries created based on local routes with each other. This avoids unexpected packet drop caused by asymmetric routing.

Restrictions and guidelines

All interfaces in a SAVA access group must belong to the public network or the same VPN instance.

You can add a maximum of eight interfaces to a SAVA access group.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

3.     Add the interface to a SAVA access group.

ipv6 sava access-group group-name

By default, an interface does not belong to a SAVA access group.

Configuring SAVA logging

About this task

To identify and troubleshoot issues, enable SAVA logging.

This feature enables the device to generate SAVA logs when SAVA detects spoofing packets.

With the information center, you can configure log destinations and output rules. For more information about the information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Configure SAVA logging.

ipv6 sava log enable spoofing-packet [ interval interval | number number ]*

By default, SAVA logging is disabled.

Verifying the configuration

# Display SAVA entries on Device C.

[DeviceC] display ipv6 sava

IPv6 SAVA entry count: 2

Destination: 2000::                                        Prefix length: 64

# Display SAVA entries on Device D.

[DeviceD] display ipv6 sava

IPv6 SAVA entry count: 3

Destination:192:168::22:0                                  Prefix length: 120

Interface: Vlan-int40                                      Flags: L

 

Destination: 2000::                                        Prefix length: 64

Destination: 2001::                                        Prefix length: 64

Interface: Vlan-int40                                      Flags: R

The output shows that Device D created SAVA entries with prefix 2000:: and 2001::. When Device D receives an IPv6 packet with prefix 2000:: or 2001:: on VLAN-interface 40, it will forward the packet.

# Display SAVA entries on Device B.

The output shows that Device B created SAVA entries with prefix 2000:: and 2001::. When Device D receives an IPv6 packet with prefix 2000:: or 2001:: on VLAN-interface 30, it will forward the packet.

Example: Configuring SAVA on inter-AS border devices indirectly connected the LAN

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 8, configure the devices to meet the following requirements:

Configure SAVA VLAN-interface 30 of Device B and VLAN-interface 40 of Dervice D to filter packets based on SAVA entries.

Configure remote route tagging. Device B and Device C in AS 100 and Device D and Device E in AS 200 exchange routes through IGP (for example, OSPFv3). Device C and Device E in different ASs exchange routes through BGP. The devices create SAVA entries based on the synchronized remote routes.
