VPN ipsec DSCP trust

[jfgagnon]

Hi!

I'm wondering if it's possible to pass the DSCP value throught the VPN tunnel. 

Like, if an VoIP subnet mark it's packets with a defined DSCP value, and route those packets throught the VPN, I would want them to keep their DSCP value and classified shaped when they arrived on the other firewall.

I found out this setting on the policies "set dscp-match enable", but can't find any documentation on it, I was hoping it was the equivalent to a trust DSCP.

Thanks!

Yes you can do that in  the firewall.policy remember  the internet will not see your DSCP setting muchless even care.

check out my  blog post a few years back about marking l3 dscp values

This is what you're looking for if it's 5.4. This part of QoS/Traffic Shaping feature should be the same with 5.2 although 5.4 has introduced a separate "shaping-policy" so if you want to do shaping, refer to the traffic shaping handbook for a proper version.

FortiGate Differentiated Services feature can be used to change the DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) value for all packets accepted by a policy. The network can use these DSCP values to classify, mark, shape, and police traffic, and perform intelligent queuing.

DSCP features are applied to traffic by configuring the FortiGate to apply different service levels to packets depending on the DSCP value of the packet.

Having said that, If diffserv is disabled in the IPsec phase2 configuration, then the ESP packets' DSCP value is copied from the inner IP packet DSCP and If diffserv is enabled in the IPsec phase2 configuration, then ESP packets' DSCP value is set to the configured value.

Please note that Offloading traffic to the NPU must be disabled for the tunnel in phase1 if you want to customize the DSCP values.

Example:

1. Configure the phase1-interface:

   config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
       edit "s2s"
           set interface "wan1"
           set peertype any
           set net-device disable
           set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
           set npu-offload disable
           set dhgrp 14 5
           set wizard-type static-fortigate
           set remote-gw 173.1.1.1
           set psksecret ***********
       next
   end

2. Configure the phase2-interface:

   config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
       edit "s2s"
           set phase1name "s2s"
           set proposal aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128gcm aes256gcm chacha20poly1305
           set dhgrp 14 5
           set diffserv enable
           set diffservcode 000111
           set src-addr-type name
           set dst-addr-type name
           set src-name "s2s_local"
           set dst-name "s2s_remote"
       next
   end

Thanks
