I'm looking at replacing a CSS 11506 in a data centre with two Cisco ACE 4710 appliances. One thing that concerns me is the drop in throughput. The 11560 has a maximum throughput of 40Gbps while the ACE we are looking at is only 1Gbps. It seems that the 11506 is able to scale much better?Also, is it possible to run the two 4710s in an active/standby configuration?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two production contexts on an ACE 4710 running A5(2.2). Both are members of a resource class that has "limit-resource all minimum 40.00 maximum equal-to-min". I am seeing many denied packets for Bandwidth throughput under the "show resource use" for one of the contexts. All other resource peaks under "show resource use" are well within range. So I'd like to create a new Resource Class for this context with bandwidth throughput packets being denied, and would solely like to allocate more resources for bandwidth throughput ONLY, while keeping the other resources at 40.00. However, "limit-resource ?" doesn't list any resources that look like bandwidth throughput. If I configure "limit-resource all minimum 50.00 max equal-to-min" then I do see it allocates more bandwidth for throughput via the "show resource usage" underneatht the Alocation - Max column. Is this the only method to effect the resource allocation for bandwidth throughput for a context?

Our environment is critical, hence we are doing upgrade on Secondary appliance first. for that we are first isolating Secondary appliance by disabling up link switch port.

I understand that before we can copy the ADI from the FTP server to the CSS, we must create an FTP record file on the CSS identifiying the ADI. But what if I copy the ADI from TFTP server, do I also need to create TFTP record file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a web application behind a SSL-offloading CSS 11506 that may require the server to be able to use a SSL connection as soon as it is established. At least I'm troubleshooting a problem that is starting to look like this is a possibility.
The default behavior seems to be to not start the SYN/SYN-ACK sequence with the real server until the client starts talking first (such as send an http get request), even though the SSL termination part is done and ready.
Any way to change this behavior? The scenario is a webapp. Client side starts more than one SSL session to the server, but only uses one immediately. The client knows it has more than one connection and may have told the server so. Like a control plus data channel(s) arrangement. The client opens all the connections (full SSL handshake on all channels), starts using the control channel, and expects the server to start talking on the data channel. However, since the client hasn't sent anything down that TCP connection first... the server doesn't have it.
I don't think this would occur when the server is doing the SSL... as it should have all the TCP connections as soon as the SSL handshakes are done.
I am trying to get a sample command output of "show chassis inventory" for:
CSS 11501
CSS 11503
CSS 11506

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an issue with a customer that wants to update a server behind the ACE. The problem is that when the application wants to update the server it does it with the name.Doing some research I found that you can rewrite the record DNS based on the static NAT you set up on the ACE. The feature is called DNS inspection. Is the same feature as the ASA (DNS doctoring).I apply it to the outside interface and it did not work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to configure sticky on an ACE 4710 and don't understand what the netmask part of the sticky ip-netmask netmask address {source | destination | both } name command.
Some examples use 255.255.255.255 and others use 255.255.255.0 but I don't know what the significance is or what it does?
I am going to configure for both source IP and destination IP (both).
With the current (A5) ACE 4710 lic setup, does the "X gigabit per second appliance throughput" that is licensed affect: -
A) Only "appliance" i.e. load balancing traffic, any other normal routed traffic is not included in the limit
or
B) Is it an overall throughput limit on the interfaces i.e. includes all traffic not only load balancing traffic but also normal routed traffic crossing the appliance
Looking at a scenario where the lic size I need for HTTP load balanacing would be one size if A) but would need to be much larger is B) to accomodate out of hours routed backup traffic crossing the ACE 4710

I've got a web app that the owners want to run over port 80, but also using SSL to secure private data in transit. The architecture is an ACE 4710 in SSL termination mode->Apache (port 2000)->Back-End app server.
I've got two VIPs set up already - one on port 443 and one on 2000 - both of which do the SSL termination quite nicely, but using the 3rd VIP set up on port 80, the connection steadfastly refuses to be HTTPS (i.e. doesn't show the padlock).
I've done all the set-up through the web interface so far, can this be done? If so, how?
I am currently running A3(2.6) and evaluate the possibility of upgrading to A4(2.1). The Instal & Upgrade Guide A4(2.0) mentions that A4(2.0) does not include all features of A4(1.1). Does this apply to A4(2.1)? The Release Notes mentions a list of features merged from A4(1.1) to A4(2.1) but does not clarify if there any features not merged.

we configued An ACE 4710 with SSL termination on Oracle Aplication Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) ,so that SSL termination is done on the ACE and HTTP reaches the Oracle Aplication Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) then we configure the ACE to enabled client authentication with Pkcs#11 smart card token certificate and this don succfully my problem need do this client certificate authentication for only the [URL] not for all SSL proxy service how can do that.

We have recently transitioned one of our Ecommerce products to a new data center, at which we now use a one-armed load balancing approach rather then the routed load balancing approach we used previously. This is casuing us some issues as we generally log the source IP address a user comes in on when he fills out an application. Now the logs only show the natted ip address recieved by the load balancer, which does us no good. Any way to log the source IP address when a new connection is created to a particular vip?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf we use an ACE4710 to load balance two real servers, obviously it will use health checks to determine if a server is down.When it detects a server is down, it will not send it any more traffic.But can we also have it take any other action? For example maybe email an admin, or send an SNMP trap? Or better yet, can we use a custom TCL script to do other things, like launch some custom activities?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to the 4710 appliance.Apart from the 4 GE 'data' ports, there are 2 Ethernet 'management' ("console") ports. I find the description in the "quick start guide"somewhat confusing. URL, Is a first-time serial connection (at least to run the initial config. script) mandatory? Or can you obtain the same result via one of the 2 Ethernet management ports and using a default ip address (192.168.1.10 ? When running the initial config. script (only possible from the serially connected console i suppose), you have to select your management port. Why does the system in step 5 proposes you 4 ports, and not just 2? I suppose the intended port for management is one of the 2 management ports, not one of the 4 data ports?

Trying to comapre apples with apples (is a CSS SSL TPS the same as a ACE 4710 TPS etc...)

Is there any further figures available for the ACE 4710 to fill in the blanks in table?
Am sure that ACE 4710 smokes the CSS but have to do the due diligence

What exactly happens when the SSL connection rate is exceeded. Is the connection dropped, queued or what ?
Defined as the SSL TPS. In our case 1000 but upgradeable to 5000
