Problem Description

Once the on-site firewall enables DPI, service interruption occurs. Normal operation resumes upon disabling it.

Process Analysis

Checking DPI logs revealed no relevant interception logs, indicating the traffic did not hit any DPI policies

debug ip info ,debug ip packet,debug aspf packet,debug securit-policy packet ip 

It was found that after enabling DPI, packets were actually dropped by the NAT module

The internal network port is configured with NAT hairpin

The external network port is configured with outbound and NAT server

 

 

Solution

R&D investigation found that global NAT was also configured on-site.

nat global-policy
 rule name GlobalPolicyRule_1
  description GuideNat
  source-zone Trust
  destination-zone Untrust
  action snat easy-ip

Therefore, R&D concluded that after enabling the DPI function, the packet tags sent to the device were altered, causing global NAT to take effect while NAT hairpin failed.

Solution:

Do not configure both global NAT and interface NAT on the firewall.Especially when NAT hairpin is required, it is recommended to use interface NAT.

Currently, after removing global NAT on-site, the service operates normally.
