To Enable GTP Traffic Logging
and CountingYou can enable GTP traffic logging and counting on this page.
With the GTP traffic logging feature, you can configure the NetScreen device to log GTP packets based on their status and you can also specify how much information you want about each packet. You can use the console, Syslog, and the WebUI to view traffic logs. GTP traffic logging is disabled by default on the NetScreen device.
When you enable GTP traffic logging, you can specify one of the following forms of logging:
With the GTP traffic counting feature, you can configure the NetScreen device to tally the number of user data and control messages (or bytes of data) that it forwards to the GGSNs and SGSNs that it protects. The NetScreen device counts traffic for each GTP tunnel separately. When a tunnel is deleted, the NetScreen device counts and logs the total number of messages it received from and forwarded to the SGSN or GGSN.
The log entry for the deletion of a tunnel contains the following information:
Timestamp
Interface name (if applicable)
SGSN IP address
GGSN IP address
TID (Tunnel Identifier)
Tunnel duration time in seconds
Number of messages sent to the SGSN
Number of messages sent to the GGSN
To Enable GTP Traffic Logging
and CountingEnter the following information:
GTP Traffic Counters: Select On or Off to enable or disable the NetScreen device to count traffic.
Enable traffic logging by selecting Basic or Extended for one or more of the following packet statuses:
Packet Forwarded: A packet that the NetScreen device transmits because the GTP policy allows it.
Packet Prohibited: A packet that the NetScreen device drops because the GTP policy denies it.
Packet State-Invalid: A packet that the NetScreen device drops because it failed stateful inspection.
Packet Tunnel-Limited: A packet that the NetScreen device drops because the maximum limit of GTP tunnels for the destination GSN is reached.
Packet Rate-Limited: A packet that the NetScreen device drops because it exceeds the maximum rate limit of the destination GSN.
When Packet Rate Limit is exceeded, log every other _ messages: Specify a logging frequency to control the interval at which the NetScreen device logs messages with the Packet Rate-Limited status. For example, if you set the frequency value to 10, the NetScreen device only logs every tenth message above the set rate limit.
