ACE 4170 port redirection in Bridged mode
Hi Friends,
Is it possible to do port redirection on ACE while it is configured on Bridged Mode. For example. a user is accessing the Loadbalancer VIP on port 80 and this is redirected to port 8080 on backend servers?
I have attached a diagram for easier understanding. Is there a need to configure NAT in such cases?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.
Hi,
if you want to allow ping to the VIP address, you only need to apply this command in your L3-4 policy map:
loadbalance vip icmp-reply
example:
policy-map multi-match L4-TEST-VIPS
class WWW-TEST
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy WWW_POLICY
loadbalance vip icmp-reply
more info can be found here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A2/configuration/slb/guide/classlb.html#wp1000929
If you want ICMP to pass through the ACE tp reach the real servers, you need to allow it in an ACL.
Hope this helps,
Dario

ACE CRL's download in bridge-mode
Hello
Does anybody can explain to me which interface is being used by the ACE do download the CRL list, when the ACE is being configured in a bridge-mode with mac-sticky option ?
Thank you in advance for your help
Regards
LukasHi Lukas,
Logically it should be the interface on which ACE is learning the default gateway MAC.
You should see that in show arp output.

Hi All,
I've a quick question about bridged mode in an ACE module.
Is it possible to have the servers on a separate subnet rather than on a directly connected VLAN?
Due to limitations brought on by physical aspects of the setup (and also security policy), I cannot put the ACE right next to the servers. ACE on a stick isn't feasible due to PBR smashing the CPU of the msfc so I'm thinking the ACE needs to be in bridged mode as we have to keep IP address transparency so the servers can perform policy functions based on client IP address.
I've attached a .jpg illustrating the basic setup.
The pertinent question i guess is: Can we use the ACE to loadbalance to servers that are NOT on the bridged VLAN subnet and will also quite possibly be on different subnets themselves?
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thanks All!
BradHi Brad,
As long as there is one to one nat on the firewall it should work just fine.
Even though the servers will be one subnet away but the natted IP will act as local IP for the ACE.
For config reference look at the following link :
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Basic_Load_Balancing_Using_Bridged_Mode_on_the_Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_Configuration_Example
hope that helps.

I have FIOS and the latest version of the Airport Extreme Basestation set up in bridge mode.
OK need some technical answers I have FIOS and am forced to use their Router. I have WiFi turned off on the FIOS router and my New version Airport Exteme Basestation set up in Bridge Mode. I have CAD 5 running to all my Mac computers and a CAD 5 up to the second floor. I have an older version Airport Extreme Basestation that I would like to connect to the CAD 5 cable on the second floor where the WiFi signal is weak as the main Airport is in the basement. How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode? Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi? I will also have one Macbook Pro plugged into the upstairs Airport. This is mainly for the WiFi for my iPad and iPhone. Details will help. Thanks.
How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode?
Connect from a LAN <-> port on the Bridge Mode AirPort to the WAN "O" port on the second floor AirPort and then use AirPort Utility on a Mac or iPad to set things up.
Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi?
Nothing will be messed up, and you will have a much stronger WiFi signal upstairs.
If you need more details on setup.....we need to know.....
1) What model number of AirPort Extreme will be upstairs. The model number is usually embedded in the foam base on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143.
2) What operating system you are using on your Mac, or whether you want to use the iPad for the setup...assuming that the upstairs AirPort is compatible. -
ACE 4710 in bridge mode not working
I am trying to configure ACE 4710 bridge mode and I am stuck up in physical interface configuration. I have configured gig1/2 of ACE as trunk port and on layer 2 switch I have assigned that interface (gig1/2) to VLAN 11. I tried trunk port also but it got disabled due to BPDU error.
I am not able to ping servers as well as gateway. Below are the topology and context configuration:

Thanks,
Pawan" I tried trunk port also but it got disabled" <----- if your L2 config is not correct, nothing will work.
What is the setup on the switch ? Trunk or access vlan ?
What is the status of the interface ? up ? down ?
Do you see something in your arp table ?

Ace module in bridged mode with client nat
Could someone confirm whatever a NAT is supported for ACE-20 module, please?
Let me to explain technical details.
I do need to convert working CSM(SLB) config to ACE configuration and I am not quite sure
if the configuration below is correct. ACE module should be configured in bridge mode with two
vlans - vlan 36 (client) and vlan 436 (server) - bridged with interface bvi 36.
NAT on ACE configurad as "nat dynamic 1025 vlan 436" into corresponding
"policy-map type loadbalance"
Could you check two parts of configs and advise me if the ACE config is
properly converted from CSM and will be working in the same way (especialy for NAT).
Thank you in advance.

You will want to use PAT while you do nat, so change the natpool configuration to this:
nat-pool 1025 10.36.3.100 10.36.3.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 pat
You also need to apply the nat like this:
policy-map multi-match IFVLAN36-POLICY
class WEBMAIL-80
appl-parameter http advanced-options HTTP_ADV_OPT
loadbalance policy WEBMAIL-80
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
nat dynamic 1025 vlan 436
class WEBMAIL-443
appl-parameter http advanced-options HTTP_ADV_OPT
loadbalance policy WEBMAIL-443
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
nat dynamic 1025 vlan 436
If you are going to build out a lot of classes, you can instead do source nat like this:
policy-map multi-match IFVLAN36-POLICY
class WEBMAIL-80
appl-parameter http advanced-options HTTP_ADV_OPT
loadbalance policy WEBMAIL-80
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
class WEBMAIL-443
appl-parameter http advanced-options HTTP_ADV_OPT
loadbalance policy WEBMAIL-443
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
class class-default
nat dynamic 1025 vlan 436

ACE problem - bridge mode - behind a firewall
Hello
We are having problems with one of you ACE context, this implementation was done by a supplier and I am trying to troubleshoot it.
The clients and the servers are on different subnets, there is a Nokia firewall in the middle. The firewalls are setup on a cluster.
Connecting to port 7072 is taking at least 30 seconds. If I move the server into the VLAN in front of the ACE, the connection is instant. So it does indicate a problem on the ACE.
The client IP is .99.11.
The VIP is .100.62 and the server node is .100.12.
Running the capture command I can see the following behavior:
1. The client initiates the connection to the ACE Vip
2. At the same time it looks like a second connection is initiated from the client to the server node
Please see attachment.
Is this a normal situation where the connection is duplicated?
Does this interface setup look correct?
Is the bridge mode the correct setup in this scenario?

Many thanks,
DamianThanks for replying James,
I am sure I configured the capture only for VLAN10 which is in the VIP side.
But you are right, it looks like is showing both VLAN10 and VLAN15. So that is one of my theories out of the window! :)
This is a new installation, still on the testing stage. So it would be good time to make changes.
Do you normally implement a routed setup behind a firewall? Rather than a bridgedâ¦.
It is quite a small setup:
⢠Traffic is coming from a separate local subnet
⢠Traffic is not coming from the internet so it does not required a NAT
⢠We need 1 VIP listening on two ports
⢠The backend servers are four Linux boxes
Thanks again,

ACE dropped conns problem (Bridged mode)
Dear all,
I configured an ACE in bridged mode (inside vlan: 2012, outside vlan: 2021) and I apply the L4 policy on the 2 VLAN interface to loadbalance HTTP incoming request (Virtual IP: 172.22.22.130).
interface vlan 2112
bridge-group 1
access-group input BPDU-Allow
service-policy input POLICY-LB-HMC-2112
no shutdown
interface vlan 2122
bridge-group 1
access-group input BPDU-Allow
service-policy input POLICY-LB-HMC-2112
no shutdown
But I need also that some other server connected to the same vlan 2112 and having to send HTTP request on the same VIP but this failed and I get dropped conns.
Can anyone helps?
Regards
AbdelazizHi Olivier,
This below the full config, and my need is to make a server in the inside VLAN 2112 (172.22.22.121) to open HTTPS connexion on the VIP (172.22.22.130 for rserver .131 & .132). Trafic from the outside is working well.
Thanx,
Abdealziz

Port forwarding but can only connect to wifi in Bridge Mode
Hi
Our ISP is TalkTalk and we use their Fibre service which connects through a BT Open Reach Modem. The TalkTalk router seemed to causing drop outs in wifi on my macbook pro so I bought an Airport Time Capsule for the wifi router and to back up my mac.
We aren't issued with PPPoE details and the advice from the TalkTalk community was to connect with the Router in Bridge Mode. This has worked a treat with the various Apple and non Apple items we have in out house except one.
We have security cameras which we control through a Windows laptop and can view one out phones. To make this happen we have to set up port forwarding. However, we can't do this as it's in Bridge Mode (as far as I understand).
I'm afraid my knowledge of these things is very basic so I'm hoping that someone will have an easy answer to this. Anyone got any advice on how I can make this pretty white box do its stuff please?
Thanks in advance!No idea what a double NAT is but you clearly do so here goes...

Port forwarding for Mac that shares internet to Airport in bridge mode?
I use Air Video server, which allows me to stream movies from my Mac to my iPhone or iPad. It sits on port 45631 and that's closed.
I recently moved from NYC to CO, and because of my cable modem not being compatible with my older Airport router, I must use my Mac Pro to forward my Internet service from one Ethernet port to another - so that my older Airport Extreme can then broadcast wirelessly.
Since I use the AirPort in bridge mode, and the Mac is forwarding the connection - how do I forward the port so Air Video can send through to the internet?

How to plug a hard drive on the USB port of a Time Capsule. TC in bridge mode
Hello
I would like to connect a hard drive onto the USB port of a Time Capsule. This is for saving files (different frome the Time Machine savings). I am struggling to get it working it seems that I can see the HD when under "drives or discs" (running Snow Leopard in French) from the AirPort Utility but I can't access to it.
The TC is in bridge mode.
Thanks for help and guidances.
Best
PierreThe question is clear enough.. I just don't understand why you are having issues.
Can you see in the internal disk of the TC in the finder?
What format are you using on this disk? Try and format it HFS+ if it isn't already.
If you plug it directly into the Mac it works ok??
The other issue is the need for a powered hub on the TC due to the low power it gives the internal port.. or lack of bios compatibility with a range of usb hub chips. Try a powered hub as that can also help. -
How to use SNMP to access interface counters for WAN port when not in bridged mode
Hi All,
Can't fault my timecapsule, however just struggling to get one little bit of functionality working. I'm keen to get access to the WAN port interface counter information via SNMP, so I can track total bandwidth/throughput & also volume.
I have no issue getting SNMP to work & can see the 2.4 & 5.0GHz network counters, also total number of WIFI clients, wlan0, wlan1 and bridge0 interfaces. Trouble is none of these are the WAN/external ethernet port.
I see that it is likely that I'm trying to find the vlan1 port, however from what I'm reading this may only be available when the device is running in a routed mode (I'm running in bridge mode).
Anyone able to suggest anything?Some cable modem you can turn off NAT.. and then use the TC in router mode.. or even use DMZ if the cable router allows that.
Have you ever looked at gargoyle router firmware and its ability to count and quota all clients connecting to internet service.. it is a simply fantastic firmware and can be loaded onto a router that costs $70-130 dollars.. it is 3rd party but very solid if you choose the right combo.

Design question: ACE module connected to 2 different L3 engine while in bridge mode
fellow engineers,
i have been working on a design model , where the ACE mldule will provide SLB for both virtual and real servers. we have been deploying several UCS systems and the customer would like to use the ACE as our Enterprise SLB layer
configured in bridcge mode.
the msfc within the 6509 provide the L3 routing. however we may extends multiple vlans (v160-v163) via nexus switch layer (7k,5k,2k) to a FW appliance which now is the svi interface for the extended vlans. these vlans will be configured on a dedicated context.
the extension is based on the bridge mode operation as follow:
need help with the following:
1) if i have 4 bvi's configured, do i need to have default route configured?
2) my total count for vlans are: v160-v163 for server vlans, and v101 is the management vlan. the svi for this vlan is on the msfc card. the server GW are pointing to each dedicated svi's on the FW+L3 apliance.
3) if my default route on the context is pointing to the v160 svi on the FW+L3 engine, will that prevent the return traffic for other vlans ( v161-v163) from the ace toward the client?
4) is default route neccessary if you hae the ace in bridge mode.
it was brought to my attention that if you have multiple vlans configured in bridge mode pointing to another L3 engine, then each vlan would have to be configured on seperate context since you can only have one default route per context.
i appreciate any feedback on this inquiry. if you need additional information please le me know.
thanks and best regards,
raman azizianHi Raman,
You can have up to eight default routes in one context. What the ACE is doing with the entries is to create a ARP-entry with the name GATEWAY. If you need more then eight entries, just declare gateway as rservers. In that case the ARP-entry is stored as RSERVER instead of GATEWAY. The trick is to tell ACE to learn the MAC-address for the IP-address and store it int the ARP-table. The ACE never learn for itself a MAC-address. Don't forget mac-sticky enable on vlan's facing gateway.
I'm running one context in bridge mode and have 18 bvi's with FW and Router 6509 as gateways.
Exampel:
Interface to ROUTER 6509
interface vlan 300
bridge-group 300
no normalization
mac-sticky enable
access-group input BPDU
access-group input alla
access-group output alla
service-policy input lb-int-vlan300

Share Airport Connection to Ethernet port in BRIDGE mode?
I've been trying to do this for a while now, but I haven't been able.
I have the modem form my ISP hooked to a Airport Express configured in BRIDGE mode, thus creating a wireless network for my home with "live" IPs for all the computers (yes... I know the security risks...).
My G4 (across the room) gets Internet from it's Airport Card and I configured the Share Internet preference pane to "Share the Internet Connection from the Airport to the Ethernet Port", so I can create (...extend, really) a WIRED network from my G4's Ethernet Port.
The thing is that I want this wired network to have also "live" IPs, but the Airport Card always has the "Distribute IP Addresses" (or it's equivalent, from the Airport Admin Setup) activated, so it provides a 192.168.X.X network and I can't find a way to turn that off.
In other words, I want it to acts as a BRIDGE and not as DHCP Server.
Anyone?
TIAI was trying to use IPNetShareX to configure it, but I didn't find a way. I'll keep looking...

Trouble with bridge mode and port forwarding
I have a Westell Model 6100F DSL modem in bridge mode into my network and I'm having trouble forwarding ports. Is there any general guidance available to do this. I have set many of my friends networks up to allow port forwarding but all have been on other service providers, mainly cable. (my experience) My network is the only one I have had trouble with.
Basically, my question is, while in bridge mode, does the modem forward all incoming traffic to my NAT router or do I need to apply special port forwarding settings in the modem to allow this?
If bridge mode is the reason I cannot forward the ports, can someone explain how to set the WEstell 6100F back to factory defaults so I can start over.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
PaulIf bridge mode is set up correctly, your router should be holding the Public IP address (basically not something that is a 192.168 address) as shown at http://www.whatismyip.com/ and compared against what IP your router has.
If your router has the public IP, all problems lie with either your router or your PC's firewall and configuration. I'd check out portforward.com for some guides on forwarding ports for your router or poarticular application if you need some additional help.
