We have an ANM Virtual Appliance, version 5.2, were we login and can go no further. This was working for fine for approximately two and half weeks. We created a backup and re-loaded the system via CLI with the same result. We logged in again via SSH and we have noted the following:
cscoanmsa/admin# sh disk
temp. space 4% used (141244 of 4951688)
disk: 7% used (353916 of 5935604)
Internal filesystems:
warning - /var is 100% used (89219000 of 89258112)
cscoanmsa/admin# sh application status ANM
[code]....
Is there any way to access and clean out the /var directory from the CLI. is this achieved simply via the "delete" command with the full path ?
We have an ACE Appliance in a DMZ and the ACE Appliance's Admin Context IP is translated between ACE and ANM. The ANM Server does not get translated. It is just the opposite then in another Community discussion.
Our Problem: When adding the ACE4710 Appliance to the ANM imported Device List, we use the ACE's NATed Admin Context IP. Import works well, but ANM reflects the Admin Context IP with it's real configured IP. Polling the ACE Appliance does not work therefore.
Is there a possibility of telling the ANM, that the ACE has to be polled through a NATed IP? I could not find a field to set a NATed Mgmt IP.
Configured IP on ACE Admin Context: 192.168.0.10 NATed ACE Admin Context IP: 172.16.0.10
Imported ACE with IP 172.16.0.10 into ANM, but ANM polls for Rserver, Vserver, Probes, etc. via 192.168.0.10 - which is not reachable from the ANM.
The upgrade process for ANM virtual appliance 4.2 involves doing a backup and restore as root user. I have looked through the documentation and have even reinstalled the virtual appliance to see if the install script gives away the root password for the OS but without luck.
currently have LMS 3.2 on a Windows server. I'd like to upgrade to 4.1 on a virtual appliance. I don't care about migrating data and would probably like to just start fresh. My question is If I were to download the 4.1 evaluation virtual appliance and also purchase the 3.2 to 4.1 upgrade license would I be able to apply that license to the evaluation?
I am low on available disk space to perform backups on my LMS 4.2 installation. Is there a way to force the appliance to recognize the increased disk space allocated by ESX VMware?
trying to get my ducks in a row for replacing a Cisco 5510 and a Barracuda Link Balancer with a virtual pfSense appliance. This is partially due to eliminating support contract costs (nearly $3k annually between both appliance) and partially to utilize the redundancy and fault tolerance that our virtual environment can provide. I'm also implementing a colo site for replication/DR this year so doing a tunnel from site to site would make it a lot easier with like for like virtual appliance firewalls.
The VPN aspect. We are currently doing Cisco VPN with Radius auth on the back end, this is seamless to setup from an end user perspective as they just hit a URL, download/install the ANyConnect client, and log in with their credentials. Is there a comparable alternative in pfSense? I'm leaning toward IPsec but it still doesn't seem as seamless as what we currently have in the ASA.
Do you know if it is possible in ACE 4710 appliance to configure a SIP TLS ?The SIP probe we have in the configuration guide it is only for clear text. for Lync 2013 we need to establish first a TLS session and then within it, send an SIP request..IS it possible in any version? I tried also to configure a HTTPS probe but it fails as it sends a GET which the Lync SIP server doesn't understand.
In 2008-2010 timeframe, I used the ace 4710 appliances at one customer and kind of liked them. The deployment was not too SSL intensive and B/W requirements were low, but I configured a few HA pairs and that worked well. The configuration was pretty comparable to other Cisco devices; so easy to learn/pick-up.Fast forward to 2011: stepped into an environment, where customer purchased 3 - ACE 20 modules (before I got here), and had multiple issues with them. I found 4 documented TAC cases, and 1 was still open. I started working from December 2011 on getting Cisco to own-up WRT modules but customer by that time had had enough.
The most serious issue was a random reboot, hang or lockup. I wasn’t here to work with them to verify, but that’s eventually what the deal breaker was. Around the February 2012 timeframe, talking to Cisco SE, he revealed Cisco had an independent lab in Switzerland verify that some hardware component on the device had a terminal defect, in which a bit would flip, and force the device to lock or reboot - subject ot radioactive decay or interference.Cisco and the lab attributed this to improper shielding, coupled with defective material in the electronic component; hence the device was highly susceptible to radiation-type errors. This is the kind of stuff you read in doomsday reports! As a result, Cisco was EOL-ing the ACE-20 module. I am trying to get Cisco to replace the ACE-20 modules with something else, but they haven’t been too cooperative. They have also limited their SE/Salseperson presence where I work (Pacific Northwest); and are not too responsive.
I have gotten a verbal agreement to get a credit on prior purchases for the amount this customer spent on the ACE-20 modules. However, the credit is only a few points off their normal discounting model. And Cisco will not go into loss on new product sales. Using example, $100 product would cost me $55 with standard Cisco discounting. Cisco’s cost might be $45 so I will only get another $10 credit on this new purchase.The 3 Cisco ACE-20’s originally cost customer about $100K, so to dwindle this credit down, we would need to purchase about $1-$2 million of new hardware - that's a lot of new gear! And I don’t have any real way of knowing that Cisco is applying the credit honestly, and they won’t put anything in writing. This entire issue has really dampened customer’s impression of Cisco. They had smartnet on the ACE-20’s for 2+ years, but then dumped that after losing faith in the product. Now I am trying to resurrect smartnet to see if Cisco will give us an alternate product.
And to cap it all off, the original Cisco salesperson (who sold customer the ACE’s), has left and went to work for F5! And yes, he has been calling on customer to try to sell some big-IP's! At least there is some humor in all of this. So... Has anyone else had bad experience with ACE-20 module? How about ACE 4710? How to get a reliable working ACE module from Cisco?
My TCOM guys say they do not see the ACE as a CDP neighbor on their switches. Is CDP enabled by default? I cannot find any documentation that suggests this is configuration (like on the Cisco CSS - where it can be enabled, but cannot see its' CDP neighbors).
BTW - The ACE 4710 Appliance documentation uses CDP as acronym for Certificate Revocation List Discovery Point (for SSL CRL's).
I have a pair of ACE 4710's that I am deploying within a datacenter. The primary and secondary ACE appliances have identical configurations except for the IP addressing and priorities for FT. The FT peer is going into a TL error state.
On the primary ACE appliance, I am able to ping and telnet from/to it without any issues. All of the routing works as it should and everything is seen in the ARP table as it should. The secondary appliance is able to ping everywhere, but telnet out of or into that appliance does not work.
I am able to see the IP addresses in the arp table and can successfully ping end to end from the secondary device, just unable to telnet into or out of it. When I try to telnet out of the secondary device, it reports that there is no route, even though the IP's I am trying to telnet to are directly connected and those interfaces are up and working (otherwise ping would fail). The exact same filters (access-lists, service-policies) are configured in the exact same format and applied to the exact same interfaces.
I tried removing all of the fault tolerance configurations and just created a Layer 3 vlan interface for management and I am still unable to telnet into or out of the appliance. This is not a complicated setup and I have to think there is something obvious that I'm missing, but I'm hung up on the fact that the config's are almost identical while one works exactly as intended and the other reports no route to host for a directly connected interface.
We have several 474 and 594 class WAAS appliances in the field. When power is lost to a given location, almost all of the other devices we have at these sites will start themsleves back up upon the restoration of power. Since the 474 and 594 WAAS appliances are basically PC based devices they do not seem to have the ability to start themselves back up when power is restored. What we would like is to have a solution wherein the WAAS device powers up on its own once power is restored much like the routers, switches, servers and PBX devices at the same location.
We recently had a contractor deploy a 4500 catalyst switch with a WS-x45-SUP7-E. After installation and configurations, HP openview is detecting a "downed" interface on the 4500 chassis that is not in the configuration. I have attached an image with the interface circled. We assumed that it may be a configuration issue with openview, however after running diagnostics with a network analyzer, the same ip address for the down interface is still detected. Is this some sort of internal virtual interface on the SUP7?
I've got basic connectivty to our ACE30 module and when I try connecting to the management IP address (attached to the Admin context), I see a very basic GUI which only lists the CSM to ACE config conversion tool. I don't see a GUI as detailed in the document: url...How do I get the ACE Applicance Device Manager GUI working so that I can then configure real servers, serverfarms etc rather than via the GUI?Having read through copious amount of documentation I can't seem to find a refrence that would ne useful here. This should be a fairly straight forward exercise - do I need to install some other software to get the full fledged GUI working?
what is that mean-"Redundancy is not supported between an ACE module and an ACE appliance operating as peers" I'm designing network in which I plan to use ACE-4710-0.5F-K9 appliances.
disable telnet for ACS 1120 Appliance version 5.0.0.21 .is there anway to do it , not able to login via telnet and ssh it says wrong credentials but webgui is working fine with same user and password.
i have a 4710 appliance (one armed) and i am load balancing with two webservers. In the URL, there are links that need to be redirected to https:
[URL]
i am using the
rserver redirect REDIRECT-TO-HTTPS[URL]
The https is working but i have a problem. when i access the Main link "first" it is redirected to https to the Main link.But if i access one of the Sublinks directly(without having to click on the main link first) the page is redirected to https but to the Main Link. i have to click the Sublink again in order to get the page.How can i redirect to https and stay on the same page? What might be the general link in the webserver-redirection?
I would just like to double-check a point with the forum on licensing on 4710 Appliance.If with version 4.2 and above 2Gbps Bandwidth licence is required, the output of the sho license status should be?
I am completely new to the Cisco ACE devices but have been asked to look at deploying them. I have read the ACE virtual partioning paper which covers the ACE module, and it mentions the following;"In an active/active high-availability design, both the primary and backup Cisco ACE modules are active simultaneously. The active virtual partitions are distributed across both modules, such that approximately half are active on the primary module and the remaining are active on the backup module."does the same resilience model work the same using the Cisco 4710 appliances? I.e. can we split virtual partions across two physical devices thereby having an active/active scenario.
I have a single cisco 11503 load balancer.There is a single Banner student information system which is load balanced on it with Virtual ip 10.3.20.101 which is working fine without any issues .I am now trying to add an Oracle ERP application with virtual IP 10.3.20.230 and physical ips 10.3.19.22 and 10.3.19.23 all on port 8003.When I just make the group ERP-Apps-Grp active , the vitual ip address 10.3.20.230 is pingable , but when I make the the content Erp_IAT active it stops pinging. [code]
I'm trying to set up a load balancer within an OVH (hoster) infrastrcture, I've followed their instructions [URL] I'm using a RIPE block (5.135.193.xxx/28) and would like the first 8(5.135.193.xxx/29) to be used as the virtual server.vlan 2676 is the local one, and vlan 1227 is the public one.After all the config steps, none of these IPs are responding to a ping, nor a direct http request.
the full configuration is :
============================================= ssh maxsessions 1 access-list ANY line 8 extended permit icmp any any access-list ANY line 16 extended permit ip any any probe tcp PROBE_TCP passdetect interval 30
I have a question regarding CSS loadbalancer. Let's say there are 2 vlans in CSS:
1. Vlan 10: 10.1.1.0/24 as external interface, interface where most of the clients are coming from.
2. Vlan 20: 10.1.2.0/24 for real server vlan.
Virtual IP 10.1.1.10 is created in CSS on behalf of two real servers (10.1.2.11 & .12) in Vlan 20. Client from Vlan 10 can http access to 10.1.1.10 successfully.
In Vlan 20 there's also few clients which need to access servers via virtual IP. Vlan 20 Client PC (10.1.2.101) can ping 10.1.1.10, but can't access 10.1.1.10 http service.
Is there any way for CSS to forward service request coming from Server vlan to be send back to the same segment?
I am in the process of configuring load balancing on ACE module but struggling to configure virtual IP address for ACE module. I'm working on ACE30 module and using software version A5 (1.2). ACE module is in slot of Catalyst 6504 switch.
I am looking to deploy an ACE 4710 for use in an internal and DMZ environment simultaneosly. Everything that I have been reading indicates that we can accomplish this but I wanted to post my idea of how this would work in the environment. What I want to do looks like this:
1. I need load-balancing of internal sharepoint servers. I want this to occur on a context directly connected to the internal network
2. Reverse-proxy of external traffic for OWA, Activesync and a couple of other applications. I want this to occur on a context directly connected to our DMZ.
My questions are:
1. Is there any security concerns here? I do not like the idea of using one appliance between these two environments but I have no choice because we do not have multiple devices.
2. Since the servers that I need to service with the reverse proxy functionality are internal to our network, should I translate their IP's to the DMZ and then again to the outside or should I just create a route to their real (internal) addresses on the inside interface of the firewall as well as the proper ACL's?
Currently using a CSS1506 for our reverse proxy SSL.I have a couple of questions
1 - Does the 11506 use an internal disk as well as the one in slot 0 ? 2 - I have a spare mem card in slot1, how can I copy all of the required boot files etc to slot 1 in case of a card failure in slot 0?
Everytime I make a config change to one of the contexts on our ACE20, I get this message: Config Application in Progress. This command is queued to the system
Report run via Individual Web server URL’sThe report takes less than 20 minutes (average 15 minutes) to fetch and return the data. This is observed 9 out of 10 times.Report run via ACE Load Balanced URLThe report keeps on running for more than 20 minutes and never completes. The front end keeps showing report is running.The data in general when tested directly by running queries against the database (bypassing the platform) completes in 15-18 minutesThe network connectivity for each and every ports involved (Loadbalancer/Servers) have been throulgly checked.
Can't see this in the documentation, as only Solaris to soft appliance is mentioned, so does anyone know if you can migrate data from LMS 4.0.1 on Windows 2008 to the soft appliance on LMS 4.1?
After upgrading our Cisco MSE to 7.4, the appliance does not stay connected to the network. Once the appliance is restarted, layer 3 echoes occur for about 2 minutes and then stop. The only way to get it to respond again, is to restart the appliance. Again, after a few minutes, it stops responding. I've checked the switch, and there is no port security set up on it. I've checked ACL's, and other potential culprits to no avail. The MSE interface is set up, and the device is configured.
I'm currently trying to install the Cisco LMS 4.2 Appliance on a VMware vSphere 4.0 environment.I'm following the [URL]. I downloaded the Cisco_Prime_LAN_Management_Solution_4_2.iso and I started the server.I get this screen and I choose option 1:

All users are located in the local identity store.So - assume I do not implement ACS but I do turn on password expiration after 60 or 90 days. Will a user whose password is about to expire attempts to authenticate against ACS 5.2, will they be notified that their password is about to expire?Also, when a user attempts to authenticate but their password expired yesterday, will they be prompted to change it and if so, how will that prompt to change it be presented?
A while back we were looking into upgrading our SUN/Oracle server to better service our CiscoWorks. Our vendor (partnered Cisco Vendor) told us that Cisco was developing an appliance like WCS and CNR that runs Redhat for CiscoWorks.Does any one have any info on this or could this be a rumor?
We do not run Windows devices on any of our network enterprise and this would be so cool!
Oracle is getting to be a clone of Windows..in our opinion
If this is true, I will happy to sit and wait for it.
We now run LMS 4.0 on a SUN/Oracle T2000 and it seems to be bottlenecking.
