ACE 4710 how to direct traffic by source ip

I would like to know in the simplest terms how to use the source ip of the request to direct traffic to 2 different server farms.
One ip address source range to one server farm and all other ip address sources to another server farm.

Good morning,
It is possible to match the source IP of the client as a parameter for L7 class-map. See the link below for more details
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/vA5_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/classlb.html#wp1117372
For your setup, you could just create two different class-maps (one for each source range) mapped to two different serverfarms.
I hope this helps
Daniel

ACE 4710: Config Allows all traffic except large HTTP downloads

Hi Folks,
Got an ACE 4710 with a basic config that seems to work for all traffic except large downloads.
I've attached the current config
As I mentioned I can do normal HTTP to a standard destination like google or SSH through the ACE or ICMP
If i try to get a large file from the server side of ACE, then a trace shows that the first and subsequent 1460Byte packets dont go through ACE
I've thought of parse lengths, but i cannot see any that seem to affect the generic L4 maps that I am trying to use
Cheers
Alan

I've seen a similar fault. I suppose a lower MSS was sent in the TCP SYN handshake packets (1300 or 1380?) and the packets exceeding that value were dropped by the ACE. This is the default behavior which can be switched to a less strict mode by either
exceed-mss allow
or
no normalization
commands.
In our case, a linux web server was whose replies wouldn't keep to the MSS limit.

Setting up additional load balancing on ACE 4710

I recently deployed ACE 4710 to load balance traffic to a group of web servers. I would like to add additional server farm(s) with different applications on them to ACE 4710 for load balancing the traffic. How can I best achieve this goal? I currently use 3 interfaces out of 4 interfaces (Server Side interface, Client side interface, and Failover interface). Do I need to use my last interface to set up for the new VIP address for a new server farm? Is virtualized service a possible solution? Thank you in advance.

You can configure trunking so that multiple vlans can exist.
Also note that the vip ip address does not have to belong to a subnet.
You could configure a static route on the upstream router pointing the traffic for the new vip to the interface ip address.

TCP SYNSEEN with load balancing Cisco ACE 4710

I have a Cisco ACE 4710 load balancing the traffic to two proxy servers, the configuration is the same since December 2012, but yesterday it stated to show SYNSEEN in the show conn command, and the hosts cannot browse. I think that means that the three-way-handshake is not complete.
If I bypass the ACE the hosts can browse without problems.
I have tested with another ACE appliance and the same configuration but the behaviour is the same.
I need help as soon as possible,
thanks,
I've attached the Show conn, show conn detail and show run.

Hi Cesar,
Thank you for your answer,
The issue was solved,
We were running an A3 software version, it seems to have a Bug so it doesn't show the NAT commands in the "show run", so when we made the configuration backup we didn't noticed it.
The ACE reloaded because an electrical failure so it losted the NAT config.
We just upgraded to an A4 version and also added a NAT/PAT to enable the communication between the Clients and the Proxy.

Rservers initiated traffic not sourcing the traffic as VIP in Ace 4710

One of the feature of our application is that our Application Server initiate text message to our devices sourcing from UDP 1120 and device need to see the message come from a specific pubic IP (2.2.2.2) with UDP port 1120 and reply back with the same Public IP (2.2.2.2) with UDP port 1120.The problem is we can make that happen if we have only one server in our ACE Serverfarm when we do a SNAT the real servers with the VIP address (10.1.246.32) but it does not work when we have more than one server in the Serverfarm. Since we have 2 servers, i cannot nat the real servers with the VIP address, if I do a PAT, obviously it is changing the source port of the request.
Note: This setup is working fine with the Cisco Content Switch module running on chasis 6509. When I sniff the traffic initiated from the server coming the CSM load balancer, it is sourcing the traffic as the VIP and the source port remains the same by default but this is not the case with ACE 4710

I see in CSS, they are able to nat the source ip address with VIP and port-mapping diabled. How do I implement
portmap disable in ACE 4710
Disabling Port Mapping
By default, the CSS NATs source IP addresses and PATs source ports for a configured source group. If you configure the portmap disablecommand in a source group, the CSS performs NAT on the source IP addresses but does not perform PAT on the source ports of UDP traffic that matches on that source group.
For UDP applications with high-numbered assigned ports (for example, SIP and WAP), we recommend that you preserve those port numbers by configuring destination services in source groups instead of using the portmap disable command. Destination services cause the CSS to NAT the client source ports, but not the destination ports. For information about configuring destination services,

ACE 4710 - can I dynamically sticky all traffic to 1 server based on URL?

Hello all, I'm new to the ACE 4710 and need to know some details about stickyness.
As background, we are a small company with a SaaS product and a pair of webservers.
I have set up the loadbalancing default L7 Load-balancing rule to sticky based on a Cookie based Stickey Group.
That seems to be working and session traffic is sticking to a server during the user's session.
Based on a request from our outsourced developer they would like the Loadbalancer to not only sticky the users sessions, but also sticky a url to a server.
I would like this to happen dynamically as each of our clients will have their own url based on our standard domain like clientname.fixeddomain.com and I don't want to have to come back to the loadbalancer every time we add a client.
As I said, I'm new to these devices but understand the concepts, and am in the position of having to make it work little to no tranining on this hardware and no budget at this point to pay someone else for configuration and setup.
I just need to know at this point if I can stick all requests for a specific URL to a server to avoid caching issue while those sessions are active and have new connections to other client urls balanced among the webservers.
Hopefully this request makes sense.
Thanks,
Mark Steeves.

Daniel,
Thanks for the reply, but I cannot reach the URL you included. It gives me a 403.
Therfore without reading the article, I wanted to ask if the proper setup would be:
1. Default L7 load-balancing action: Primary action: Sticky: Stickey Group using
Type = HTTP Header: Header name = Host
2. Server Farm: Predictor: Least Connections or Round Robin to distribute the load between the 2 web servers.
Using this setting in testing, it looks like all the traffic keeps going to 1 server only. Granted there is not much traffic t the servers, but I have 2 different url being tested. url1.ourdomain.com & url2.ourdomain.com
If you have another link for the above document, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mark Steeves.

Full URL re-direct with ACE 4710

Is there anyway to perform a redirect on the ACE 4710 so that it will redirect a request sent to the domain mydomain.com be redirected to www.mydomain.com, this is so that an installed SSL certificate will match.
Thanks

Thank you for your response, but the redirect would occur before any encyption.. for example today this is what happens
someone goes to
http://www.mydomain.com
and the ACE redirects the connection to
https://www.mydomain.com
What I want is for someone to go to
http://mydomain.com (without the www) and for it to redirect to
http://www.mydomain.com which will inturn redirect to https://www.mydomain.com
or it can just redirect to https://www.mydomain.com
So the encryption will not occur until it is redirected to teh correct websit

ACE 4710 Setup

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.

ACE 4710 blocking FTP WLSD directory listing

Hello
I have a ACE 4710 setup in a test environment(and context) with 2 filezilla FTP servers on the back end and a Win7 laptop on the front end with a FTP client(s). The ACE is setup to load balance by source(the requirement for our project).
When the laptop tries to FTP to the Filezilla FTP servers it connects, enters passive mode, and sends a WLSD command to get a directory listing, but never gets it. If the Win7 laptop is put on the same vlan as the Filezilla FTP servers, behind the ACE, everything works fine.
As far as I can tell the ACE configs doesn’t have any sort of deny acl acting on this traffic. *attached* The FTP client always connects, its just the directory listing that doesn't seem to work.. and we need it to work for the app this is targeting.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
e-

Yeah me too!
So after much packet capturing and hair pulling and general dismay, we(me, another admin, and a local var ccie) think this is a app layer issue. We added the inspect command but it wouldnt take without a nat pool in place, so we added that.
We found a packet in the FTP client that tells the server the real IP of client to the server. This is the only oddity that we can locate. Of course I admit we arent using a ACE in the normal way an ACE would be used, we LB by source not destination.
I put telnet servers on my targets and they also communicate directly to the clients IP, but they layer 2 back to the ace first, whereas the FTP server doesnt. We are still working on it to try and find a way to make FTP happy.

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 transparent LB with two Caches and two routers.

Hello,
I have ACE 4710 that load balance two cach flows (bluecoat), i am doing pbr on the routers to send the traffic destined to port 80 to ACE then Cach farm. After that the Cach flow will get the page from the internet via two routers. The return traffic will match another pbr on the routers with source port 80 that will send it to the ACE then CachFlow again .....then to the users.
I am not using ip-spoofing on the CachFlow for now. In the figure attached i created a VIP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 port 80 on the interface on the ACE facing the routers, but the question is do i have to create another VIP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 port 80 on the interface on ACE facing the Cach Flow? or just forward the traffic on the default route? What might be the default route since i have to use two routers and i cannot use hsrp?
Kindly I need some assistance
Thank you and regards,
George

Hi George,
In the topology you described, only the service-policy in the interface towards the routers is necessary. For the traffic from the caches, the ACE will just forward to the default gateway.
The only problem is, as you mentioned, that you cannot use HSRP. In that case, you can still configure two default gateways, but there is no way to predict which one the ACE will use at a given time (the way it does to select the one it will use is sending an ARP request to both gateways and using the one that replies first until the ARP entry expires)
If you need to load-balance the traffic between both routers, then yes, you would need to configure a new VIP on the cache side and load-balanced to a transparent serverfarm composed of both routers.
Regards
Daniel

ACE 4710 Pls need help

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).

I see that you used:
nat dynamic 1 vlan 57
Where is the nat pool on Vlan 57 ?
May be you can try to assign that and that should help.
Something like below:
Interface vlan 57
nat-pool 1 10.0.1.93 10.0.1.93 netmask 255.255.255.224 pat

ACE 4710 balance among URL

I have ACE 4710 and I need configuration:
I have real web-server with folders : /1/index.html, /2/index.html, /3/index.html
I need to balance virtual service:
If I try to connect URL: http://server/index.html, then ACE balance among
http://real_server/1/index.html,
http://real_server/2/index.html,
http://real_server/3/index.htm
How can I configure ACE ?

ACE, can't modify the url.
But it can send redirect.
So you could build 3 redirect rservers, and have ACE loadbalance between them.
rserver redirect HTTP-REDIRECT1
webhost-redirection http://real_server/1/index.html
inservice
rserver redirect HTTP-REDIRECT2
   webhost-redirection http://real_server/2/index.html
   inservice
rserver redirect HTTP-REDIRECT3
   webhost-redirection http://real_server/3/index.html
   inservice
serverfarm redirect SF_REDIRECT
rserver HTTP-REDIRECT1
    inservice
rserver HTTP-REDIRECT2
    inservice
rserver HTTP-REDIRECT3
    inservice
But even if it works, this does not sound good.
It seems like a design done by an application server person who does not know how network loadbalancers work.
It seems like all you need is stickyness, which you are trying to achieve by redirecting to /1 or /2 or /3.
But this can be done differently with cookies or by just doing stickyness on source ip address.

ACE 4710 and DSCP marking

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
