Configuring Tunneling Inspection
Carriers, service providers, and large organizations use various tunneling protocols to transmit data
from one location to another. This is done using the IP network so that network elements are
unaware of the data encapsulated in the tunnel.
Tunneling implies that traffic routing is based on source and destination IP addresses. When
tunneling is used, IPS devices and load balancers cannot locate the relevant information because
their decisions are based on information located inside the IP packet in a known offset, and the
original IP packet is encapsulated in the tunnel.
To provide a carrier-grade IPS/DoS solution, DefensePro inspects traffic in tunnels, positioning
DefensePro in peering points and carrier network access points.
You can install DefensePro in different environments, which might include encapsulated traffic using
different tunneling protocols. In general, wireline operators deploy MPLS and L2TP for their
tunneling, and mobile operators deploy GRE and GTP.
DefensePro can inspect traffic that may use various encapsulation protocols. In some cases, the
external header (tunnel data) is the data that DefensePro needs to inspect. In other cases,
DefensePro needs to inspect the internal data (IP header and even the payload). You can configure
DefensePro to meet your specific inspection requirements.
To configure tunneling inspection
1. In the Configuration perspective Advanced Parameters tab navigation pane, select Tunneling
Inspection.
2. Configure the parameters; and then, click
(Submit) to submit the changes.
