Configuring the Catena Solution
Displaying Catena Analytics
To optimize your chaining solution, you can configure catena to display the number of packets passing through
different chains for a particular instance.
Command
show catena analytics per-acl per-node
Configuration Examples of Catena Instances
This topic shows examples of configuring catena instances in multiple configurations:
Configuring a catena instance in transparent mode VACL:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# feature catena
switch(config)# catena port-group pg1
switch(config-port-group)# interface Eth 1/2
switch(config-pg-node)# catena port-group pg2
switch(config-port-group)# interface Eth 1/4
switch(config-pg-node)# catena vlan-group vg1
switch(config-vlan-group)# vlan 10
switch(config-vlan-group)# catena vlan-group vg2
switch(config-vlan-group)# vlan 20
switch(config)# ip access-list acl1
switch(config-acl)# 10 permit ip 192.0.2.1/24 any
switch(config)# ip access-list acl2
switch(config-acl)# 10 permit ip 198.51.100.1/24 any
switch(config)# ip access-list acl3
switch(config-acl)# 10 permit ip 203.0.113.1/24 any
switch(config-acl)# exit
switch(config)# catena ins_redirect
switch(config-catena-instance)# chain 10
switch(config-catena)# 10 access-list acl1 vlan-group vg1 egress port-group pg1 mode forward
switch(config-catena)# 20 access-list acl1 vlan-group vg2 egress port-group pg2 mode forward
switch(config-catena)# no shutdown
switch(config-catena-)# catena ins_bypass
switch(config-catena-instance)# chain 10
switch(config-catena)#10 access-list acl2 vlan-group vg1 egress port-group pg1 mode bypass
switch(config-catena)# no shutdown
switch(config-catena-)# catena ins_drop
switch(config-catena-instance)# chain 10
switch(config-catena)#10 access-list acl3 vlan-group vg1 egress port-group pg1 mode forward
switch(config-catena)#20 access-list acl3 vlan-group vg1 egress port-group pg1 mode drop
switch(config-catena)# no shutdown
switch# show running-config catena
feature catena
catena vlan-group vg1
vlan 10
catena vlan-group vg2
Purpose
Displays the live traffic data going through various
transparent devices.
• Use the per-acl argument to display packet
counters for a particular chain.
• Use the per-node argument to display packet
counters for a particular node.
