ACE 4710 Connectivity help?
I'm using an ACE 4710 in a new datacenter, with the following setup:
2/4 physical ethernet interfaces port channeled into port-channel 1
2/4 physical ethernet interfaces port channeled into port-channel 2
I have the following vlans defined:
1001 - admin - interface ip: 10.53.136.70
400 - client side - interface ip: 10.53.136.100
500 - server side - interface ip: 192.168.128.1
999 - fault tolerance - interface ip: 192.168.11.2
My problem is I am trying to nat ssh and web server traffic from the client side, to the server side, but it's never getting to the server. For example, if I ssh to 10.53.136.102, it times out. (10.53.136.102 should get nat'd to 192.168.128.2)
Also, I can connect to the ACE 4710 via telnet using 10.53.136.70, but cannot connect to 10.53.136.100.
I'm thinking there is either something wrong with the port-channels, or the access lists. On the other hand there could be something wrong with the nat'ing, but I had it working before switching over to the port-channels.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brent
I've attached the two contexts which we are using. The admin context is new_lb_config.txt and the second context where the loadbalancing occurs is in the new_lb_config_VC_WBPX.txt file.
From the load balancer, I am able to ping the real server ips in the 192.168. ip range. The 4710 recognizes that they are in service.
I believe the ACL for the VLAN 400 is set to permit all traffic, but I don't know if the service policies are preventing something from happening.
Right now, I have disconnected the two 4710s and I am only working on one of them to see if I can get the basic connectivity going. Once I accomplish that, I will work on high availability. I'll have to check whether it thinks it is in passive mode...not entirely sure how to do that, but I will check it out.
Thanks,
Brent

ACE 4710 - need help configuring backend server monitoring
Currently running an ACE 4710, which is handling all of our inbound SSL connections and then forwarding requests thru
to backend web servers. This all works fine.
My question is this..Right now we are not load balancing any of the backen web servers. But I now have a requirement that should
a web server crash or become unavailable I need to redirect that backend connection to another web server.
Scenario is more like I have 2 web servers both serving same content, but I want one server to take all the connections unless it fails, at that point
have all the connections forwarded to 2nd server.
Is there a way to setup the load balancing where the 1st server gets all the connections until a failure happens ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
DaveHi Dave,
You can use sorry-server or backup server feature. details can be found at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/rsfarms.html#wp1000264 -
Can the ACE be setup with only one interface configured and not having to place the servers on another interface?
Some of the "lesser" loadbalancers have a "Direct Server Return" mode. Where requests come in one interface and out the same interface to the server. This way you dont have to place servers inline with the LB.
Any way to do this with the ACE?Yes.
Both ACE module and ACE appliance can be configured in one arm mode.
For One arm mode you will have to configure source NAT to ensure the server responses are routed via ACE.
Direct server return is also possible with ACE.

Need help to Configure Cisco ACE 4710 Cluster Deployment
Dear Experts,
I'm newbie for Cisco ACE 4710, and still I'm in learning stage. Meanwhile I got chance at my work place to deploy a Cisco ACE 4710 cluster which should load balance the traffic between two Application Servers based on HTTP and HTTPS traffic. So I was looking for good deployment guide in Cisco SBA knowledge base then finall found this guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/SBA/February2013/Cisco_SBA_DC_AdvancedServer-LoadBalancingDeploymentGuide-Feb2013.pdf
This guide totally fine with my required deployment model. I have same deployment environment as this guide contains with ACE cluster that connects to two Cisco 3750X (Stack) switches. But I have some confusion places in this guide
This guide follow the "One-armed mode" as a deployment method. But when I go through it further I have noticed that they have configured server VLAN as a 10.4.49.0/24 (all servers reside in it) and Client side VIP also in same VLAN which is 10.4.49.100/24 (even NAT pool also).
My confusion is, as I have learned about Cisco ACE 4710 one-armed mode deployment method, it should has two VLAN segments, one for Client side which client request come and hit the VIP and then second one for Server side. which means besically two VLANs. So please be kind enough to go through above document then tell me where is wrong, what shoud I need to do for the best. Please this is an urgent, so need your help quickly.
Thanks....!
-Amal-Dear Kanwal,
I need quick help for you. Following are the Application LB requirements which I received from my clinet side.
Following detail required for configuring Oracle EBS Apps tier on HA:
LBR IP and Name required to configure EBS APPS Tier (i.e, ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes)
Suggested IP and Name for LBR:
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm detail for LBR Setup
Following detail will be use for configuring the LBR:
LBR IP and Name :
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm Detail for LBR setup:
Server 1 (EBS App1 Node, ap1ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.19
Server Name: ap1ebs.xxxx.lk [ap1ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Server 2 (EBS App2 Node, ap2ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.20
Server Name: ap2ebs.xxxx.lk [ap2ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Since my client needs to access URL ebiz.xxxx.lk which should be resolved by IP 172.25.45.21 (virtual IP) via http (80) before they deploy the app on the two servers I just ran web service on both servers (Linux) and was trying to access http://172.25.45.21 it was working fine and gave me index.html page. Now after my client has deployed the application then when he tries to access the page http://172.25.45.21 he cannot see his main login page. But still my testing web servers are there on both servers when I type http://172.25.45.21 it will get index.html page, but not my client web login page. What can I do for this ?
Following are my latest config :

ACE 4710 - show stats connection questions
Hi,
I have three questions regarding the "show stats connection" command in the ACE 4710:
1. What is the criteria for a connection to be added to the "Total Connections Failed" counter?
2. What is the criteria for a connection to be added to the "Total Connections Timed-out" counter?
3. Is there a command to get more information why the connection was failed or timed-out (e.g. to/from which IP, url accessed etc.)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
HarryHarry,
a connection failed if the server did not respond or resonded with a RST.
As long as the connection gets establised, it is counted as a success.
The connection timeout counter is incremented when the connection is idle for the configured timeout value or for L7 connections if it does not complete the 3-way handshale within the embryonic timeout interval.
Since this is clear why those counters are incrementing, the only way to get more information is to capture a sniffer trace to verify if the conditions above are met.

Hi,
Pls can you help me find out where is my error in the below:
I have an ACE 4710. Also I have 2 Bluecoat Proxy SG working in proxy mode. I want the ACE to be the Load Balancer for these 2 Proxy SG. I configure the ACE as below and put the vip-address in the Internet Explorer LAN Settings but it did not work. Also I configure Policy-based Routing on the Core Switch (for any http or https traffic going through core apply set ip next-hop vip-address).

ACE 4710 Can not confirm http cookie sticky connections
We are using a ACE 4710 with A3(2.6) software release.
I had to change our sticky load balancing method for HTTPS to cookie based.
However while connections appear to work if I look at the sho sticky database table I can not see or confirm sticky entries for the cookie based connections.
Here or config snippets to show the config

loadbalance policy ghh-sticky-443_POLICY
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
appl-parameter http advanced-options CASE_PARAMAnother point: please check whether your servers are listening only for HTTPS traffic or also for HTTP traffic:
in the first case the ACE will have to: decrypt the traffic from the client, inspect the http header to take the loadbalance decision and then re-encrypt it and send it to the server
in the second case the ACE would have to: decrypt the traffic from the client, inspect the http header to take the loadbalance decision and send it out as it is unencrypted to the server
the second solution would have the benefit of being easier to configure and to require less resoucerces both on the ACE (only decryption to be performed) and on the servers (no need for SSL operations at all there) but it might be that your company or business sector have requirements for which this traffic should never flow unencrypted, in which case you would have to go for the first solution.
Here you have a config example for the first solution:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_configuration_example09186a00809c6f37.shtml
I would not expect you to have to pay extra for importing the cert and kepair into the ace, it would be just a copy, however as Alex said that may still depend on the license agreement with the CA.
Cheers,

Cannot Telnet to ACE 4710 after upgrade to A4(2.3)
I have a pair of ACE 4710s with 12 contexts sharing the load, running A4(2.1). Yesterday I upgraded one of them to A4(2.3)
now I cannot telnet to the Admin context.Pings ok. I can telnet to other contexts on the box and everything seems to be working ok
when i do a " sh telnet"
comes back with
No Session Information is available
sh telnet maxsessions
telnet maxsessions 16
Can anybody help?further this post, it was not a resource problem as had allocated 5% for the Admin context.
I up graded IOS Saturday evening, could not Telnet in, tried again on Sunday same result,
though this morning (Monday) Can now telnet in ok very strange
I was connecting via the AUX line of a 2851 router to the console port.
whe I disconnected this morning I saw the following message
INIT: id "T0" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes
not sure if this is a 2851 message or an ACE message, but after getting that message is when I was able to Telnet in
was it a coincidence
anybody any ideas -
ACE 4710 HTTPS load balance configuration
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?
Any configuration examples would be helpful.
Thanks.IF you terminate SSL on the ACE you need certificates and key on ace in the context in which you are doing the termination. The certs and keys need to be installed on the active and standby (manually unless using anm to manage).
when speaking of SSL
SSL termination refers to ace terminating SSL and sending to server as clear text
end to end - ACE terminates SSL (to look into payload to make a loadbalance decision or sticky decision) and then re-encrypts to the server, so to the client ACE is an ssl server and to the server the ace is an ssl client.
You can find some config examples at
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Category:Data_Center_Application_Services_Configuration_Examples -
I'm trying to set DSCP flags in traffic from ACE 4710 to clients. Unfortunatly it doesn't seem to work this way:
class-map type http loadbalance match-any URL-AF21
2 match http url /aaa/.*
4 match http url /bbb/.*
policy-map type loadbalance http first-match LB-WITH-DSCP
class URL-AF21
set ip tos 72
serverfarm MyServerFram
class default
set ip tos 0
serverfarm MyServerFram
Traffic from ACE to Real Server is tagged but not traffic from ACE to clients.
Any idea which config might work ?Hi,
If we are setting the TOS Bit in the Policy map, as in you are doing it, ToS Bit will only get set in the ACE to Server Leg of connection. Ace will not set the value for the traffic returning back to Clients.
The way around to this situation is to set the TOS bit via the parameter map and then call it under the class in multimatcg policy. In this way you will have the TOS bit set for both direction of the traffic (From ACE to Server and from ACE to client. The down side of this approach will be that you won't be able to use it for a specific class of traffic.
If you are interested in applying the TOS bit for the whole flows hitting a VIP then please follow this configuration example.
parameter-map type connection SET_TOS
set ip tos 72

PremHi Shiva,
plz guide i'm new with ACE LB, also find my n/w design for connected ace to server. but server accessing very very slow, but when i connect through my old server software LB (with two interface)then accessing very fast. I just replace my old serverLB(with two interface) to ACE4710 and connect the same scenario then why not server accessing smoothly with VIP .Reply soon only I connect ACE's two interface with switch.....

SSL Termination in ACE 4710 not working
Hi,
I have configured a new ACE 4710 with only a sinlge context to redirect https traffic to http real servers using SSL Termination. When I do a telnet on port 443 or 80 to the VIP it works fine but when I try to open the URL it prompts me for accepting the certificate then it tries to find and establish connection to the URL but eventually dies out giving a "Page cannot be displayed error". I have done some troubleshooting and found that the connection to the VIP on 443 port is Established but the out connection from the real server to the client remains in the INIT state. I am attaching the configs and all the troubleshooting data I have collected. Pls someone help.Yes the "server pkt count" for the "class: VIP_HTTPD_Redirect" is not incrementing and yes the servers do not have the default gateway towards the ACE.So as suggested I have configured default route in the servers towards the ACE interface vlan ip address. Still the server packet count is not incrementing. I am posting the updated configuration of the ACE as an attachment. Pls help.

Dear All,
I have task to add two servers to work with ACE 4710 , the client is coming from internal network and the end host (our servers).
I don,t know how to connect it physically and do the configuration.
Thanks a lot in advance .Hi,
Below is basic configuration example with three real servers and Source NAT.
Let's say you have three servers:
rserver host SERVER_01
ip address 192.168.1.11
inservice
rserver host SERVER_02
ip address 192.168.1.12
inservice
rserver host SERVER_03
ip address 192.168.1.13
inservice
You add them in serverfarm
serverfarm host REAL_SERVERS
rserver SERVER_01
inservice
rserver SERVER_02
inservice
rserver SERVER_03
inservice
After that you configure the VIP and condition. Here any means any protocol and port
class-map match-all VIP-30
2 match virtual-address 172.16.51.30 any
YOu define the L7 policy map
policy-map type loadbalance first-match SLB_LOGIC
class class-default
serverfarm REAL_SERVERS--------->Serverfarm to which traffic would be loadbalanced.
policy-map multi-match CLIENT_VIPS---->L3 policy map.
class VIP-30
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy SLB_LOGIC
nat dynamic 1 vlan 451----------------->You need to apply the NAT when your client is in same subnet as server so that return traffic comes back to ACE and not to client directly or when your servers default GW is not ACE.
interface vlan 251
description Client vlan------------------->VIP is in this subnet
ip address 172.16.51.11 255.255.255.0
access-group input ANYONE
service-policy input REMOTE_MGT
service-policy input CLIENT_VIPS
no shutdown
interface vlan 451--------------->Server side subnet
description Servers vlan
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
nat-pool 1 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 pat---->Nat pool defined. It should always be on server side vlan.
no shutdown
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.51.1
I would also suggest going through the below for basic troubleshooting and understanding.

Hi,
We got new ACE 4710 device and i am trying to configure that in Bridging mode.
I am trying to loadbalance between two servers which is connected as shown below:
Servers -> Switch -> Router (with subinterface).
Servers IP: 172.16.11.1 and 172.16.11.2
Router IP: 172.16.11.254
Default route is router IP address for servers.
I am new to ACE and I am confused about how to assign interface on ACE so that ACE can bridge the traffic between router and servers VLAN.
We have some more servers which are on different VLAN but can connect to these servers as router is doing inter-vlan routing too.
I want inter-vlan routing and load balancing between above two servers concurrently. Pls. help in this regard.
Also attaching the ACE config file.Here is the config, hope this will help.
