Can an ACE 4710 have , in the same context - servers which are
a. just being routed to
b. a set of load-shared servers
I have been told you may not be able to do this on this version?
Is it possible to use 1 or 2 of the 4 gigabit ethernet ports from one ACE straight into the other ACE for redundancy? So ACE_01 gig0/4 to ACE_02 gig0/4.If so, is it a case of just having the layer 3 config instead of trunking etc..Also - is it possible to create a context within the same vlan as the Admin context?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an HA ACE deployment and all seemed to be working well until I tried to access the ACE via the management VLAN in the one non-system context, no go.The ACE is in one-armed mode with an Admin/System context and one user context (named Messaging). Source NAT has been set up in the user context. All VLANs are in a port channel back to the core switches.I can access the ACE via the Management VLAN in the system context, all OK. I can access the load-balanced servers via the VIP in the user/Messaging context, all OK. I CANNOT acccess the managment VLAN other than ping it (resonds to ping, but telnet, ssh, https, etc. fails).The system/Admin context has a default route to the Management VLAN on the core. The User/Messaging context has a default route to the core switches on VLAN 5, which is the VLAN where the VIP resides.If I change the default route in the User/Messaging context to the Management interface on the core switches then I can access both contexts for management, but then the load-balancing falls over and I cannot access the serverfarm (via the VIP). Traces on the rservers show that NAT is being hit on the ACE and the requests are coming from the real IP of the clients. Put the default route back to the User/Messaging VLAN on the core and NAT is back to what it would be expected to be, and then remote/management access to the ACE is gone.

I am looking at management (backup of the configuration) of the ACE 4710 running A4.1, the management software is Cisco Cirrus. The question I have is around the management of the context's, I have a backup of the Admin but would like the user context's also, how this is completed.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two ACE working on active-standby mode, I have one context configured on bridge mode, with two vlans, the client (vlan 100) and server (vlan 101) sides.I need to balance another service for two servers (different from the ones on the first context ) on the vlan 101, so as the documentation says i can't configure the same vlan on another context because it is already configured on the 1st context as bridge.so my question is the only way i could balance this service is to configure it on the same context??. or there is another way?.These are the design limitations that i have to do this:
1.- I can't change the servers IP address.
2.- The VIP which will answer the clients request is on the same IP network segment as the servers, for example: server1: 192.168.100.125, server2: 192. 168. 100.126, VIP: 192.168.100.124
I understand routed vs bridged mode configuration fairly well, however, I do not understand the pros/cons between using them.

View 8 Replies View RelatedWe are in the situation we have a active configuration with ACE30 doing normal load balancing in routed mode, we have tons of rservers going out on a VIP.we now had to add a new private network to a provider that strangely enough does not want to see our public or private addresses. we need to loadbalance towards him on a priovided subnet (still rfc1918) (IOS VRF bug? is that correct?)I have two options, add the network (new interface) to the active loadbalancers (contexts) and then tie in new policies to the active serverfarms or make a new context just to load balance towards this provider.(preferred)Now - If I do this, the rservers see the client source addresses from this new provider. as the loadbalancer does not "hide" the client IP's. I would then have to add static routers toward the new context - I would want to skip that.
is there a way, to make the loadbalancer hide the client addresses towards the rservers ? perhaps I'm just needing the correct search term to find the config example.
SIP Load balancing Issue with ACE 4710?I have a Cisco ace 4710 with vesion Version A4(2.2). i configued simple SIP load balancing first without stickiness. without stikeiness we are having a problem because bye packet at the was not going to the same server all the time that left our port in used even though user hang up the phone. its happen randmly. i have a total 20 licenced ports and its fill out very quickly. so i dicided to use the stickiness with call-ID but still same issue. below is the config

Experienced the same sort of behaviour with an ACE 4710 version A3 (2.5). When trying to connect to a webpage on port 443, the pages over 1 minute to download fully. I have timed the download using the plug-in firefox. What is strange is that the browser successfully makes the connection, 200OK etc, but each 'get' takes a very long time to transfer. If I go directly to the server and don't pass via the ACE the page takes between .7 and 1 second to transfer.Is there a way to speed this transfer up, I am currently looking at connection maps.

The predictor used is 'least connections'.Have observed the below;The number of connections for a particular server in a serverfarm is 15 in the Cisco ACE.The actual number of users in that server is 6.All the users access using the VIP.Still i couldn't understand why there is difference in the number of users in the server and the load balancer statistics.

Have two ACE 4710 in HA setup. We would like to setup HTTPS loadbalance(actually just a primary and standby configuration in the serverfarm). Initially this would be for Exchange OWA connections but may expand to more HTTPS connections later. I know there are several ways to do SSL with the ACE( client, server, end-to-end). I am just wanting to know the easiest way to deploy this? Is a certificate always needed on the ACE for each connection? In HA mode would a certificate be needed for both or does it replicate in some way to the other ACE?

I am performing a deployment, in which i require clarity on the following. Our setup has DC and DR , in each site we have two devices for HA.We have received One SSL Certificate from Public CA, Kindly clarify the following doubts i have on thisIn Doc, i found Cert.pem and key.pem is required to generate the pair ,do i receive both Cert.pem and key.pem from the CA or we can generate key.pem from Cert.pem ?SSL Offloading is planned for the X application, and it is running in both DC and DR ( Considering each having their own Public IP address ) , do i need to have two different public certificates or a single certificate can i use in both DC and DR.Load Balancing IssueIs it possible to configure in ACE to access the service in Business hours and in non Business hours to display HTML page showing this is available only during these hours ?In DC we have Three Web Servers ( only in One physical server the service is active, other two are backup ), and these three servers are under cluster and shares one cluster IP , In ACE we have created the VIP and Pointed to only Cluster IP ( like pass through only ). The issue we face is if active web server is down, even then ACE is sending the traffic to that webserver only instead of sending it to the new Active web server. let us know if any solution is there to overcome this issue ?as per my understanding instead of giving cluster IP as real server IP we can issue the three physical servers. now i dont require load balancing between three servers instead require failover king like if first server is down then it should forward to Second server ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've done a lot of ACE work over the years but this is the first time this has ever come up.
I have a request from an application group where I have 3 rserver in the server farm but they want all traffic to only go to the first server unless that server fails. If the first server fails, only then do they want traffic to go to the 2nd server instead and if that fails, then traffic goes to the 3rd.
I've read through the documentation but haven't figured out a way to do this. What to do this type of failover configuration?

At present I only use an smtp probe, so as log as that sevrice is running the server is marked good.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI’m looking for some notes from the field guidance here from those that have much more deployment experience.
I have a GSS and an ACE, and its the ACE that's primarily giving me something to think about, in terms of placement and what mode to adopt.
The traffic flow will look loosely like this:-
Client---Internet---Firewall---GSS---ACE---Servers
Physically, it's like this. The RED line denotes a boundary, and pretty much anything North of that is not accessible to us, we simply have a L3 trunk between our switches and "their" switches (S3/S4) and talk using EIGRP.
There are other servers in the top tier, some that also require load balancing, some that don’t. Typically, I want to load balance HTTPS requests from the internet, to one of the 3 servers in the top half.
I’m not sure what mode to select, routed, one arm? What about placement of the ACE? At the moment, I’ve just configured 1/1 on it and made it part of the MG MT VLAN, it's S VI exists on the S1/S2 switches, so I’m open to change as it's still all in the lab.

We run in tranparrent mode with 110 Contexts, we found that with a base config for each context(80 lines of code) this would only leave us with 7% of available RAM. The Device begins to shut down services @ 5%. like SSH and others.

I need to upgrade 2 active-standby cisco ACE4710, the issue is I cannot access FTP/TFTP/SFTP server via Admin context but can be accessible via other contexts.

Current topology in network is such: web servers with content needing to be load balanced are in vlan 35 and these servers are directly connected to Core switch (two 6509 VSS) via 20 Gb EtherChannel. Vlan 35 also spans some other switches with other servers residing in this vlan. Additionally, there are dozens of another vlans (including external users) that need to communicate with web servers. IP addresses of these two web servers are: 192.168.35.1/24 and 192.168.35.2/24 accordingly with default gateway 192.168.35.254/24 (SVI on Core switch). Currently these ip addresses are used by management and other purposes and need to be reachable for same purposes after configuring load balancing with ACEs - it is needed to have direct access to servers behind ACE. How I can do that using ACE in routed mode?
