Example 7
Goal
You are an administrator of your office network. Your PCs have IP
addresses, ranging 192.168.3.2-192.168.3.255. The office network is
connected to the Internet by a gateway running Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 with NAT (192.168.3.1). The gateway runs also proxy
server that serves connections from browsers. The proxy server
accepts incoming connections on TCP port 3128. Other Internet
traffic (e.g. SMTP, POP3 and etc) comes out using NAT. Your goal is
to count the Internet-traffic for every PC of the office network.
The traffic between the PCs within the office network must not be
accounted.
Solution
You should do the following:
- Fill in the Local Address Table (LAT) with a range
192.168.3.1-192.168.3.255
- Create the filters for traffic accounting (one filter per
PC). Every filter should contain two rules (the rule for proxy
traffic and for NAT traffic).
Filter 1. Internet traffic of PC 192.168.3.2. | ||||||||
