This article describes what to collect when internet traffic is intermittently dropping on NP7 Platforms. |
Scope | FortiGate. |
Solution |
If a user experiences intermittent internet traffic, review the following steps to resolve the issue.
Confirm whether there is any configuration for traffic shaping. If it is the case, set up the sniffer and get one of the users behind the firewall to initiate the traffic continuously.
Sniffer command:
diagnose sniffer packet any ‘ host x.x.x.x and icmp ‘ 4 0 l <----- x is the destination IP for the user.
Collect the Session list with the following commands:
diagnose sys session filter src x.x.x.x <----- x user source IP. diagnose sys session filter dst y.y.y.y <----- Y Destination IP. diagnose sys session filter proto 1 diagnose sys session list
Confirm the output of the following fields that confirm whether it matches the traffic shaping or not:
session info: proto=1 proto_state=00 duration=14 expire=53 timeout=0 flags=00000000 socktype=0 sockport=0 av_idx=0 use=4 class_id=0 shaping_policy_id=1 ha_id=0 policy_dir=0 tunnel=/ vlan_cos=0/255
If it is the case, run the following commands to know if the issue appears to be NP-related.
fnsysctl date diagnose npu np7 getreg 0 qtm.qtm_dbg <----- Run multiple times.
Test# diag npu np7 getreg 0 qtm.qtm_dbg sch0_deq_cnt = f1d92860 (000606a8) <RO>
Test# diag npu np7 getreg 0 qtm.qtm_dbg
Note: Run the above command multiple times and observe the highlighted field count multiple times. Try to disable the Traffic shaping policy and check whether the traffic is passing correctly or not. If it is the case, open a TAC case and provide the NP7 Logs for further information.
WARNING: When default-qos-type is set to shaping max-receive-unit should also be set to 6000, and all interface MTUs should be set to 6000 or less. Interface MTU will be lowered automatically. |
