Content engine 565 - real server relay

hi all,
we have a standalone content engine 565 running acns 5.3.1. we would like to realize something like a live stream 'relay':
we place the ce on the network edge and it receives a live stream (rtsp) directly from a content provider. the internal clients send their rtsp requests for that live stream directly to the ce which answers the requests. one important thing is that we cannot use a proxy configuration, because a proxy config on the client is not possible - meaning that we need to place requests directly (no direct or transparent proxy). in the real subscriber config interface I saw the receiver/transmitter section - is that the right way to go? where can I find config examples or documentation for that issue. on the cisco website I could not find any detailed documentation for real subscriber configs.

thanks for the answer - i realized it rather late. can you help me in configuring this setup? as i said I cannot find any documentation support for such a setup...I would really appreciate any help.
thanks,
daniel

  • Content Engine 565

    I have 2 catalyst 6506 and 2 cache engines. Want to achieve transparent caching(Client have proxy setting on the IE)
    I have configured exactly what the user guide has shown.
    But I cant see the http traffic begin re-direct to Content Engine.
    The http traffic go out directly to the proxy server.
    Attached is the config file for one of the content engine and one of the catalyst 6506.

    The configuration looks ok to me. You could probably turn on some debugs to see what is happening. Also check the cache engine status. You could use the commands in this document to help you.

  • Mapping 2 contents to single real server port on CSS

    Hi
    I need to configure CSS accept connections to VIP on 2 different TCP ports and forward them to the same tcp port on real servers.
    I cannot use secondary IP addresses on real servers.
    Planned configuration is
    service REALSERVER1
    port 80
    ip address 1.1.1.1
    active
    service REALSERVER2
    port 80
    ip address 1.1.1.2
    active
    owner WEB
    content WWW-80
    balance weightedrr
    protocol tcp
    port 80
    add service REALSERVER1 weight 1
    add service REALSERVER2 weight 1
    vip address 2.2.2.2
    active
    content WWW-8080
    balance weightedrr
    protocol tcp
    port 8080
    add service REALSERVER1 weight 1
    add service REALSERVER2 weight 1
    balance weightedrr
    vip address 2.2.2.2
    active
    CSS box runs software 07.50.1.03
    Will this scenario work? Does it seems to is stable and scalable? I.e., I am concerned what may happen if client connections will arrive from the same source IP address and the same source TCP port.
    Modestas

    for your concern, if you make the content rule layer 5 by adding the command 'url "/*"' the CSS will modify the client source port when connecting to the servers.
    However, the chance is very little and personally I would not bother.
    So, this config looks valid to me.

  • Content Engine Network Module for Caching File Server Objects

    We have a content engine network module for a 2821 router located at a branch office that we'd like to use for clients to obtain locally cached file objects from a Windos server located at our headquarters or corporate office. I've been looking for some sample configs or documentation that will show me that this is possible and on how to do it since this is my first time ever doing. All I was able to find so far was the link below under "Support of Preloading of NTLM Authenticated Objects", but it seems incomplete in providing configuration tasks that most CCO doc's usually provide. Has anyone else had any luck finding some useful doc's or sample configs to get this accomplish? Thanks in advance.

    You can't cache Windows Files using the Cache Engines.
    You CAN do this using WAFS though. I'd suggest looking at the WAFS (or upcoming WAAS) products, which use WCCP like the Cache Engines to transparently redirect Windows File Sharing requests.

    Smartfilter uses a pool of 20 threads for LDAP lookups. What this error indicates is that the number of outstanding LDAP requests has grown to more than 1000 which is the limit supported.

  • Configuring a Content Engine to host Video

    I have a customer whom has a Cisco CE 510 installed. currently they are using it just for Web Caching.
    I remember reading at some point in the past that this Content Engine could serve video. Is this accurate? Is there any documentation to support this?
    Thanks

    Kevin,
    Live and on-demand Video is definitely supported.
    1. You need to figure out how to intercept the traffic you want to serve (wccp, proxy-pac, etc.) You may need to add services to your intercpetion technology.
    2. You need to have a license for ACNS for Windows Media (and Real) support.
    3. You may have to re-partition the drives for MediaFS if you want to cache VOD and CDNFS if you want to pre-position VODs and other files.
    Here is a link for Video support in ACNS 5.5.

  • Content Engine compatability with Windows Media Player

    I am currently running ACNS version 5.5 on our CE510 Content Engine. We want to set this box up to serve VOD requests from WMT. I think the clients on site are all using Windows Media Player version 10. Does this version of ACNS software work with Windows Media Player 10?

    Dan
    this brings up an interesting point. The content (which is canned Video on an Intranet Web site) is HTTP? I am wasting my time here by trying to use the Windows MP services?? Perhaps I already have what I need...
    Your comments appreciated.

  • How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    Caching server is backed by an sqlite database.  If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database.  Use this command to connect to the database:
    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
    Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET.  Use:
       select * from ZASSET;
    To list the current contents.  You will get a series of records similar to the following:
    26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|

  • Should the Cisco Content Engines be used as a proxy appliance

    Should the Cisco Content Engine be use as a proxy appliance like a Blue Coat appliance, Squid cache engine, ISA server, etc...
    I am pretty sure it is but just need some feedback on past experiences. Customer would like to by a Cisco product for Web filtering/proxy.
    or is it strictly used to help with web base applications.

    HI,
    the CE is basically able to check every request it supports. If you are using 3rd level products like smartfilter, websense or webwasher you can use the features of those products to supress/forbid certain requests(i.e MSN etc.)
    Kind Regards,

    SOLVED --
    The mistake was my own...in writing this post and re-testing, I realized I had made a foolish mistake. I applied an access-list (which I forgot to include) to the "ip wccp web-cache redirect-list bypass_content_engine" in the global config of the router.
    When I installed service 95 for spoofing, I automatically added the same access list to it as well.
    This was not a good thing since the access list denied packets with a destination of our internal IP addresses from going through the content engine. This worked fine on the way *out* of the router. But as the now-spoofed packets returned, their destination was an inside IP address and they were pretty much discarded. Foolish Mistake!
    Removing the ACL from the "ip wccp 95" statement in the global config fixed the issue and I am spoofing fine.
    Sorry to waste time...

  • Content Engine Problem

    Dear All,
    My apologies if this posting is on the wrong board.
    I've a problem with our content engine returning an error of:
    "Tre reply from server is not valid"
    The URL of the site is http://hiring.monster.co.uk/jobs/createtitle.aspx?mode=qb.

    This symptom is observed on a router on which Web Cache
    Communication Protocol (WCCP) is enabled and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF)
    switching is disabled. If the caches are Cisco caches, they will be running
    software prior to ACNS 4.2.5.
    solution: Ensure that CEF switching is enabled on the router. If this is not possible, the impact of the problem on the cache will be minimized if the authentication bypass function is disabled.also try upgrading IOS to 12.1(18.01)E which may solve the issue.

  • Content Engine transaction logs -- monitoring and analysis

    At our remote sites there's a local Cisco CE511 to ease our WAN bandwidth. I have been tasked to find a method to gather CE usage for trending and troubleshooting.
    From my search on the internet I decided to go with the Webalizer application. I setup the CEs to export their transaction logs every hour to my FTP server. After a test of Webalizer on a log file, it produced a nice HTML report for that hour.
    I would like to discuss with anyone on bringing this up to a new level. I would like webalizer to run as a cron job, but the log file names changes every hour. So that's a hurdle I need to figure out. Also keeping track of user web hits is important. I would like to make sure my reports are accurate in reporting what IP address is the top talker.
    I hope this will start a productive exchange of ideas. Thanks.

    Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an interoperable standards-based protocol that allows for external monitoring of the Content Engine through an SNMP agent.
    An SNMP-managed network consists of three primary components: managed devices, agents, and management systems. A managed device is a network node that contains an SNMP agent and resides on a managed network. Managed devices collect and store management information and use SNMP to make this information available to management systems that use SNMP. Managed devices include routers, access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, and printers.
    An SNMP agent is a software module that resides in a managed device. An agent has local knowledge of management information and translates that information into a form compatible with SNMP. The SNMP agent gathers data from the Management Information Base (MIB), which is the repository for information about device parameters and network data. The agent can also send traps, or notification of certain events, to the manager.

  • Should the Content Engine work while the Inernet link is down ?

    I have installed CE590 in a client network
    The http saving performance is from 30 : 40 %
    My client want to make sure the CE is caching the web site
    He want to shutdown Serial port of the main router , and try to browse web sites. ( the Cached sites )
    Should he get a reply from the CE and browse the cached sites ??
    I mean , Can the PC browser ( while the internet is link is down ) open page like www.yahoo.com for example if it is cached on the CE ??
    Is there is any command of the CE that can display the name of the cahced web pages ?
    Note : Cisco Content Engine Software Release 3.11
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thanks
    Mohamed Abdallah

    Mohamed,
    Before you go any futher you need to upgrade the CE to ACNS 4.2.3. There are known issues with 3.1.1.
    To answer your question the CE will only server content if it can not access the internet if the object is fresh. By this I mean the object has not expired or the object does not need revalidation eg If modified since request.
    This could cause problems with broken pages etc etc.
    Your best option is to turn on transaction logging.
    transaction-logs enable
    You can then go to the local1/logs directory on the CE
    type working.log
    This will show you the urls that clients are requesting and if they got a hit / miss/ ims hit / ims miss etc etc.
    Overall your cache should always have access to the origin server for content.
    Cheers
    Phil
