Ace 4710 - same context routed and load-sharing

Hi All
Can an ACE 4710 have , in the same context - servers which are
a. just being routed to
b. a set of load-shared servers
I have been told you may not be able to do this on this version
Does anyone know if this is correct
Thanks
Steve

Hi Boris
I have been on the ACE course and before we install the 4700 box i have been
asked to set up a test setup.
This would involve have a context which would have one ip address range and
a few pcs (pretending to be servers ) and one which would be just routed.
A colleague of mine seemed to think that something had been said on the course
to the effect that if the ACE was deployed in line the you couldnt have some
of your servers in load-sharing and some just routed on the same subnet and
in the same context.

Discussion on load-balance and load-sharing

Hi, I found a article, which discuss the difference between load-balance and load-sharing. I think the explanation is pretty good, please see below. But I still have a question: how can we decide to choose one the both balance in the production environment ? Thank you
"In short, load balancing tries to distribute traffic evenly over multiple paths, whereas, load sharing intends to do it (for the lack of a better term) equally. True load balancing is difficult to achieve. For example, let's say there were two links (100 mbps and 300 mpbs) and a router needed to send out 600 mbps of traffic. Load balancing would distribute the traffic evenly, sending 300 mbps on each link. On the contrary, load sharing would divide the traffic equally based on the available resources, sending 200 mbps on the slower link and 400 mbps on the faster one. "

That's not how Cisco uses the terms, and generically they are often used almost interchangeably.
Cisco uses load balancing as the catch all for how a single L3 device routes across multiple paths to the same destination. Equal metrics or equal actual load distribution are not required. Most often, load balancing will be discussed with ECMP, but unequal path loading balancing will include Cisco's proprietary IGPs, such as EIGRP.
Cisco uses load sharing when using multiple paths when a single L3 devices doesn't normally route across multiple paths or multiple L3 devices are involved. Cisco load sharing discussions usually revolve around BGP.
Generically, I would say load balancing has more of a dynamic aspect to it, i.e. something is trying to actively balance traffic across multiple paths, while load sharing might mean multiple paths are utilized but not actively dynamically balanced.
I'm unsure what's your question with a production environment.

Lead Time - Customizatiou0131n steps: Shipping point, route, and loading group

It says about delivery scheduling that "The lead time considers the shipping point, route, and loading group". Can anybody explain me briefly the customization menu steps about this sentence?
Thanks in advance.

Please go through this document it will help you
1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:
IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.
Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required
2) Defining modes of transport:
IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes
Use the standard like:
Shipping type: 01
Description: Road
3) Define shipping types :
Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions
Or through T-code: SM30
PT: 01
Description: Truck
Mdtr: 01
STPG: 0001
4) Define transportation connecting point :
LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes
Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone
5) Define routes and stages.
 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages
Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.
6) Defining Transportation Zone:
Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones
Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region
7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points
 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point
Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India
8) Maintain route determination:
Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination
Country of departure: India
Departure Zone: 0000000003
Country of destination: India
Destination Zone: 0000000003
And enter the datas needed like shipping condition 01, etc.
Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.
9) Now create shipping types
IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types
Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL
10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows
IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones
Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point
11) Define and assign pricing procedures
Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures
Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01
12) Assign purchasing data:
 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation
13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.
14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:
 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs
Or through T-code: OMWB
Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard
15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:
IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments
Or T-code: OKB9
16) Maintain shipping point address.
 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point
17) Creating G/L account centrally.
Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 
Individual Processing Centrally
Or through T-Code: FS00
18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL
19) Create transportation condition records:
 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices
Or thru T-code: TK11
Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.
Enter the price and save it
Process:
1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category
2. Calculation Basis
3. Condition Record
4. Access sequence.
For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.
A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.
For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.
You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.
The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.
Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.
The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:
Weight
Volume
Variable capacity
Number of stops
Maximum duration
Loading units
Create Shipment Document
Use
After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.
Transportation Create Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  TransportationPlanning
T.code: VT01n
Enter your transportation planning point and shipment type. Press enter.
Creating the shipment cost document
Use
After the deliveries are scheduled by shipment and the shipment is executed, now it is time to maintain and close the shipment document in order to record all relative information and ready for the shipment cost settlement.
Single document Logistics Logistic Execution  Transportation Shipment cost Create
T.code: VI01.
After creation of shipment cost doc. You settle the Shipment cost.
Go to VI02, enter shipment cost no.and press enter.
Then go to Overview -- Fright cost items, Select the line item and double click it.
Go as main menu: Item --> Acc. assignment, you enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost will be posted.
On the Standard change, details Freight cost items screen, then check the check box Transfer, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the Transfer check box.
Press save button on the current screen.
Shipment cost settlement and documents:
Use
After the shipment cost settled in shipment cost document, it has the following affects:
It creates a service entry sheet that refers to the purchase order determined.
It posts acceptance of services performed.
It creates an accounting document for the accruals.
Further subsequent documents are created in FI.

2) VT01
3) VL02N - PGI
4) VI01
5) ML81N Service Entry Sheet
6) MIRO Invoice Verification
Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...
You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.
In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue

ACE 4710 A3(2.0) and ACS - TACACS+

Hi.
I am having trouble getting my ACE 4710 (A3(2.0) Build 3.0) to cooperate with my Cisco Secure ACS-server. In the same environment I have it working on my ACE Module, with the same configuration.
ACE 4710:
tacacs-server host 10.7.50.20 key 7 "fewhg"
aaa group server tacacs+ tacacs_server_group
server 10.7.50.20
deadtime 15
aaa authentication login default group tacacs_server_group local none
aaa accounting default group tacacs_server_group local
aaa authentication login error-enable
ACS is configured correctly too. I have tried with several users, both in groups, with and without attributes and so forth. The ACS installation works with other devices and with my ACE modules running A2(3.1). I have tried this on both ACS 4.2(0).124 and 4.2(1).15.
The strange part is what I see when I set up Wireshark on my ACS-server to look at the traffic. From what I can see, the ACE only sends a request to the AAA-server if the user exists locally. But I do not get authenticated and Failed Attempts show a line with with Message-Type: "Unknown NAS".
It seems like others have the same problem. The problem is that the link attacked in the topic beneath only leads me back to forum and not to a topic with solution.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

are you using telnet or ssh ?
if ssh can you try telnet, allow telent on your management policy to do this. Then if it works via telnet , then try ssh again, if it now works then you have hit CSCsu36078

ACE 4710: No image in GRUB loader

I have an ACE 4710 appliance that has only a Linux kernel in its GRUB loader, no ACE image. Is anyone aware of how I could copy the image to the ACE via TFTP, USB drive, etc.?

Hi Joe,
Take a look at this link. It will show you how to copy and image to the ACE using the ACE-APPLIANCE-RECOVERY-IMAGE.bin. If it can't find this, then you may need to RMA the device.

BGP requirements and load sharing

Hi !
I have been reading memory requirements for running BGP. But, for a tipical scenario with dual ISP for load sharing which are the requirements for the router ?
Could we use a 1841 or thinking about 37x5 or higher router ? I know that it depends on size for routing table, AS, and so on but what is the rule of thumb for choosing the correct router ?
Thanks

Achieve Optimal Routing and Reduce BGP Memory Consumption

Routes is one constraint and traffic is one more and the kind of policies i apply would be another. If i took a default from my upstream with about 1 MB of traffic, i would definitely look at 1841. If received routes ( atleast 20,000) and about 1 MB or 2 MB and 2 or more upstreams, I may even settle for a 3850.

MPLS-TE and Load sharing?

Hi,
I have been reading and searching for a long time,
I have an issue with MPLS-TE, ok, let me explain..
We have
PE(7600) -> MPLS-network <- PE(7300)
We have EoMPLS connection between these points
over 2x STM-1, and we want to lets say,
STM1(tunnel0) take 155Mbit of link1, and
STM1(tunnel1) take 155Mbit of link2, so
we could get full use of both links,
I use exact path option, and everythings
works, but, the traffic seems to choose only
the one of the tunnels..
Then the question is, with the tag-switching,
does the traffic tunnels go with the CEF switching
so, src->dst flows occurs?
Because if i did like,
show ip cef dstip internal
I saw the load sharing all fine..

Solved,
Sorry, I found another conversation that pointed
my conclusion out,

Hi Sven,
quick question: did you load the script also in the context where it fails?
Just check if you have "script file name " in your config.

Route and Loading Time

All Gurus:
I am trying to create a route for a specific shipping point (one plant) where the loading time is different for every route. I am looking at configuration for defining shipping point:
IMG > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Logistics Execution > Define, copy, delete, check shipping point. Under "Determine Times", there is "Determine load. times" and 4 options:
     No loading time determination
A     Route dependent
B     Route independent (Route '      ')
C     Default from shipping point
If select "C" and specify 11 days for "Loading Time with Days", the system will always have 11 days defaulting on the sales order schedule lines between the "Loading Date" and the "Goods Issue Date".
What I need is to have more flexibility as to the number of days on the Loading time. If I select A or B, can you please let me know what that would do and where I can configure it so that the system gives me more flexibility as to the number of Loading Days?
Thanks in advance,
Ta

Tal -
When the loading date and GI date is same you can change the GI date by adding number of days in the field "TransLdTm". This time will get calulated as loading time. In each route definition this may vary according to requirement. this will give you different transit time determination for single ship point.
In configuration do setting as below e.g.
TransitTime               10
Trav.dur.
TransLdTm.               1
TrLeadTimeHrs
With this system will calculate in reverse way from delivery date to customer based on route transit time.
Material availability date + loading time (1) + transit time (10) ... this will be the calculation.
Hope this answers your question. Let me know anything else you require on this.

Amol

ACE 4710 same real servers, different ports.

Hi! I have the following question based on a new site requirement. The following sites use the same back end servers. Names changed to protect the innocent and my finger fumbling with pretty names for my actual config.
I have two real servers being load balanced: 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2
They have:
Site A URL= www.testsite.com:80
Site B URL= www.newstuff.com:81
I want Site B answering on port 81 for anything referencing the URL match for either port :80, and :81, then redirect to :81 anything that is on :80.
I want Site A answering on port 80 for anything not referencing the Site B URL.
How do I split the traffic coming in while also redirecting if only needed for the one site?
Also, one further question, how do I handle monitoring the ports up for each as validation for the VIP? If either port goes down is that going to take both of them offline?

Hi,
Since they are two different URL's, they would be resolving to two different VIPs. You can create two serverfarms with same servers but listening on ports 81 and 80 and create a class-map for different IP's or even same IP, listening on port 81 and 80. Any client coming with port 80 as destination would be loadbalanced to serverfarm_80 and any client coming on port 81 as destination would be loadbalanced to serverfarm_81.

Duplicate Member Outline and Loading Shared Members

I have an outline where I want to allow duplicate member names but in some cases I will need shared members. I am trying to build the outline parent child and I cannot get it to understand the fact that I want a shared member.
Here is an example:
[market],east
[market],west
[market],other
[market].[east], nj
[market].[east], ny
[market].[west], ca
[market].[west], lv
[market].[other],[market].[west].[lv] <--- this should be shared
[market].[other],ny <--- this should not be shared
Does anyone know how to do this?

Our Exchange 2010 hub servers run multiple services/ports: smtp, www, pop3,135, 143, https, 993, 995, 6001,6002,6003,60200,60201,8400, and 8402
what is the best way of balancing these servers so that if only one of the services failed on a server, it would switch only the failed service to remaining servers.
At present I only use an smtp probe, so as log as that sevrice is running the server is marked good. It seems to me the setup could get quite complicated so any responses welcome.

Linksys Router and Screen Sharing Problems

Hello,
I know that problems with Linksys routers and ichat video/screen sharing have been covered here and there in this forum, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
If I can connect find on a LAN between two Macs, but then get a connection error when attempting screen sharing/video over the internet, what settings should I change on the Linksys?
Thanks in advance.

The Linksys Firewall is normally Off by default.
There are those that try Pinging IP addresses for various reasons.
A Malformed Ping (Ping of Death) can bring down your connection.
To a certain extent this does then become a question of whether you are a big enough target or if someone discovers your IP and tries to do anything about it.
Most will be looking for access to Windows computers so your Mac it that sense will protect itself.
In about 6 years on Broadband with a Constant On Connection none of the modems I have had have reported a a Ping attack and I have had thousands of contacts with people via iChat some of which will have my IP in their Logs.
Significant Decrease ? No

Redundancy and load sharing on more than 2 CSS's

Hello,
I have configured VIP, virtual interface and ASR on a pair of CSS's before. Currently, I have some VIP on CSS1 and some other VIP on CSS2 for resilience.
Because of performance issue (actually a fear for performance issue instead of real) I am looking into scaling up to 3 or more CSS's. I think I can have VIP and virtual interface redundancy on 3 or more CSS's but not ASR. Is it true?
Any advice will be welcomed.

normally vip redundancy and asr are for pair of css only.
I think you can do vip redundancy with more than 2 CSS but it is officially not supported.
You can however have multiple VRRP group per interface and therefore combine your CSS by pair [a-b,b-c,a-c]
ASR is definitely not going to work with more than 2 CSS.
Regards,
Gilles
