ACE 4710 Sticky analyzes

Hello,
I have running an ACE4710 with round 10 differnet Services what al  needs stickyness because of the Apllication what is balanced.
There are also different Sticky settings setup.
Now in the last days I see the Sitcky Table much more growing than weeks ago.
That is easily to see by for exapmple "show stats sticky" or   "sh np 1 me-stats "-slb -v"". There I see the summary of Sticky Table entries for all defintions at the whole context.
What I am missing is to get a view which of the 10 Sticky definitions are causing most of the counter increasing. Is there a change to get an overview
which of sticky definitions causes how much entries in the Sticky Table to get an idea by what service that big increase is done?
Any Idea or tipp is welcome
Thank you in advance for help.
Gerhard

Gerhard-
show sticky database group count
Issue this for each one, it will tell you what groups are using the most.
Show stats sticky also will tell you if you are starting to re-use sticky entries.  This means that we are needing sticky entries prior to them timing out in the table.

Chris

  • ACE 4710 Stickiness Configuration

    We have the ACE 4710 Ver. A3(2.0) configured and the load balancing is working fine. But we are having problem to keep a user session on one web server. The website is running on IIS, and it's created using ASP.NET. The user session is bouncing between the two load balancing servers. How can we configure stickiness to solve this issue? Or, what are the recommend solutions?

    Here is an example of a sticky config. This will sticky on source address.
    sticky ip-netmask 255.255.255.255 address source WebSeal_Sticky
    replicate sticky
    serverfarm WebSeal_Farm
    Then apply it-
    policy-map type loadbalance first-match WebSeal-Virtual-Server-l7slb
    class class-default
    sticky-serverfarm WebSeal_Sticky
    policy-map type loadbalance first-match WebSeal_HTTPS-l7slb
    class class-default
    sticky-serverfarm WebSeal_Sticky
    Also check out the configuration guide.

  • ACE 4710 Sticky Database question

               Hello,
    I am considering using IP sticky timeout, but have a quick question about the database, is the 800,000 sticky connection per appliance or per context?
    Thanks,
    Dave       

    Hi Dave,
    "Sticky table entries 800,000" this is per appliance.
    You can distibute this resource based on usage per context.

  • 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.

  • ACE 4710 dramatically increasing Sticky entries

    Hello,
    When I do a "show resource usage" on my ACE 4710 / SW  Version A3(2.5) I see the Sticky entries increasing peramanently.
           Resource         Current       Peak        Min        Max       Denied
    sticky                    50758      62348      65536          0          0
    When I have a look to the ANM managing the box I see the last days the current value was round about 25000 / 27000 max.
    I look for a method to discover by what sticky definition or by what function / realserver the most increasing counters / entries are caused.
    When I use the sh sticky database .... I see the lists for group or a special realserver / client but I miss sh show top clients / rservers / rules what generates the big sticky table....
    Any good tipp how to troubleshoot that will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Gerhard

    Hello Surya,
    Thank you for your response. I us a mix of different persistance Methods:
    For some of the services  source-ip based, for other, Cookie-based, and for some other I look on a special http header field... So it would be interesting to find out for what of the methods  ths sticky entries grows...Because I see the counter rising  since 2nd Oct 2:00 am... before it was never so high...

  • 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
    sticky http-cookie ghh-www scook-ghh
      cookie insert browser-expire
      serverfarm ghh-www-443
    class-map match-all ghh-www-443_CLASS
      2 match virtual-address 172.16.1.21 tcp eq https
    class-map type http loadbalance match-any ghh-www-443_CLASSURL
      2 match http url [.]*
    policy-map type loadbalance first-match ghh-sticky-443_POLICY
      class class-default
        sticky-serverfarm scook-ghh
    policy-map multi-match POLICY
    class ghh-www-443_CLASS
          loadbalance vip inservice
          loadbalance policy ghh-sticky-443_POLICY
          loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
          appl-parameter http advanced-options CASE_PARAM

    Another 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,
    Francesco

  • ACE 4710 SSL server LB with stickiness

    I will be replacing 11500 CSS which are not doing SSL termination, just load-balancing SSL sessions terminated on servers with ACE 4710.
    On their CSS config, they were doing SSL-sticky. I understand the 4710 doesn't support SSL sticky, but can perform the same function by parsing the HTTP header. Has anyone done this config before and know where/how to parse the header to look for the SSL session# and stick connections to same server?
    THANKS!

    In Ace 2.x code GPP (Generic protocol parsing) was introduced that enables ACE to look into the Layer 4 payload.Which is how this stickiness id achieved.

  • 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....!

    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 ?

  • ACE 4710: Possible to allow a user to clear counters but nothing else?

    Hello all,
    Using an ACE 4710 we have a user setup with the Network-Monitor role which allows the user to view config, interface status, etc.  We would also like to allow this user to clear the interface error counters as well, but nothing else.  Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    Hello Brandon-
    Network-Monitor only lets you browse outputs, it is a not a role that allows a user to make any changes including clearing stats.  You can create custom roles and domains to get closer to what you want, but you cannot zero in on a single command like that.
    i.e.
    ACE# conif t
    ACE(config)# role MyRole
    ACE(config-role)# rule 1 permit modify feature ?
      AAA             AAA related commands
      access-list     ACL related commands
      connection      TCP/UDP related commands
      fault-tolerant  Fault tolerance related commands
      inspect         Appln inspection related commands
      interface       Interface related commands
      loadbalance     Loadbalancing policy and class commands
      pki             PKI related commands
      probe           Health probe related commands
      rserver         Real server related commands
      serverfarm      Serverfarm related commands
      ssl             SSL related commands
      sticky          Sticky related commands
      vip             Virtual server related commands
    You can create a permit or deny rule, within that, create/debug/modify/monitor each feature seperately.
    Domains allow you to create containers for objects.  You can place specific rservers, serverfarms, etc. into it - then apply it to a role so that the user assigned to it can only touch those objects.

    " 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 4710 - Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage randomly

    We have a ACE 4710 with a basic config, (see below).
    When clicking on a tab from a window within Interent explorer we occasionally get an issue with it returning: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" The details show "Access is denied" accessing a particular line of a javascript file.
    We have put one web server out of service in the farm to make sure that this isn't a result of stickyness not quite working.
    We have tested extensively by going directly to the web server directly without the load balancer and cannot reproduce the problem but we can produce the issue within a few minutes when going to the load balanced address.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

  • 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

  • Configuring ACE 4710 for Load Balancing Speech servers

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Reginald
    Currently you have only basic network configuration, there is no loadbalancing config
    I'm not sure what exactly you're asking about , but basically you need to have
    - real servers configured on ACE (
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/rsfarms.html#wp999495)
    - serverfarm configured on ACE (
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/rsfarms.html#wp1014522)
    - L7 policy map (
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/classlb.html#wp1171109 ,
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/classlb.html#wp1027248 )
    - L4 policy map , class-map (
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/classlb.html#wp1027819)
    And then apply it on necessary interface.
    This is a general configuration, in your specific case you may need to configure some additinal features (e.g. I think you will need to have stickiness enabled
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/slb/guide/sticky.html but it depends on your application)
    links are for old config guids , but basic is pretty much the same for all versions.
    Please check them and try to narrow down your question a bit.

  • SIP load balancing issue with ACE 4710

    SIP Load balancing Issue with ACE 4710
    I have a Cisco ace 4710 with vesion Version A4(2.2). i configued simple SIP load balancing first without stickiness. without stikeiness we are having a problem because bye packet at the was not going to the same server all the time that left our port in used even though user hang up the phone. its happen randmly. i have a total 20 licenced ports and its fill out very quickly. so i dicided to use the stickiness with call-ID but still same issue. below is the config

    thanks

    I mean there should be one more statement-
    class-map type sip loadbalance match-any CIN_VOX_LB_SIP_POLICY 
    match sip header Call_ID header-value sip:
    and that will be called under-
    policy-map multi-match GLOBAL_DMZ_POLICY
       class CIN_VOX_SIP_L4_CLASS
        loadbalance vip inservice
        loadbalance policy CIN_VOX_LB_SIP_POLICY
        loadbalance vip icmp-reply
    is that missing in your config ?

  • 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).

    Where is the nat pool on Vlan 57 ?
    May be you can try to assign that and that should help.
