ACE Module & FWSM

Dear Gents,
Attached is the current setup & configuration for both ACE & FWSM.
we can ping the VIP from the user side, but we are not able to open the web application using the VIP.
Appreciate your kind support to solve the issue when trying to open the application using the VIP.
Best Regards,

Pierre this is babu.
     Can you please forward ACE ONE ARM MODE current configuration which is working fine. Check my configuration and please replay if any modification require.

ACE MODULE IN BRIDGE MODE NOT LOADBALANCING

Hi,
I setup an ace module in bridge mode as follows:
mfsc(vla80) > (vla80)outside fwsm, fwsm inside(vla40) > (vla40)ace-clientside, aceserverside(vla41)
and the servers have the fwsm svi(vla40) as their gateway. But, the ace is not loadbalancing.
The config script is attached. Is their anything I am missing?

Check my troubleshooting guide on this forum.
There are few things to do to narrow down the issue.

A problem with ACL in the class-map on the ACE module

Hi all,
I configured the following on the ACE module:
object-group network test
host 192.168.1.21
host 192.168.1.22
host 192.168.1.23
object-group service port
tcp eq www
tcp eq 8080
access-list T line 8 extended permit object-group port object-group test any
I tried to configure a class-map for matching this ACL:
ACE-4710-2/Lab-OPT-11(config)# class-map match-any TEST_C
ACE-4710-2/Lab-OPT-11(config-cmap)# match access-list T
Error: Cannot associate acl having object-group ACEs in class-map.
So couldn't I configure the class-map by using ACL with object-groups involved? Is it the bug or the normal behaviour? Because the customer uses object-groups in ACLs and he has to configure ACL without object-groups for the traffic classification. It is horrible.
Thank you
Roman

Hi Roman,
I'm afraid it's the expected behavior. You cannot use an ACL with object-groups inside a class-map.

Load Balancing on ACE Modules

hi,
Is it possible to load balance VIP hits on two ACE Modules in an active/active configuration. Or is it that only per FT group only single context could be active.
Regards.

You can have 1 context active on one ACE and the other context active on the other ACE.
If you have 2 Vip, you can have 1 vip belonging to one context and the other vip belonging to the other context.
Like this, you split the traffic between the 2 devices which allows you to handle more traffic than what 1 device could normally do.
If one device can handle all your traffic, I prefer to only have 1 active unit and 1 standby.
Easier to implement and troubleshoot.

Reuse of context in ACE module

Hi all, just have a question about som reuse of resources in a ACE module context. I don't want to make a new context, and can reuse most of the existing configuration in one of my context. The config is not complex and difficult, but I'm not sure if I can do this.
The primary goal is to loadbalance 2 webservers with a new vip, new serverfarm, stickygroup, policy-map and different nat-pool.
Since I haven't decided the ip addresses to be used, they are just xx in the config below.
The changes I want to implement are in bold. Will this work for me?

ACE module - Qos - set ip tos #

All,
Trying to mark traffic to/from L4 rules in the ACE.
Documentation (like always) says it's really easy. Mark traffic by using the "set ip tos <value>" command in Policy/Class configuration. Ok, so I do this, set ip tos 24.
Enable qos globally on the 6500 host, but don't see the traffic being marked.
sh mls qos says that packets are being modified by module 5 (ACE)
But I never see the tos value in any of my captures either via netflow from the host 6500, or at the firewall one hop away.
sh mls qos:
QoS is enabled globally
Policy marking depends on port_trust
QoS ip packet dscp rewrite enabled globally
Input mode for GRE Tunnel is Pipe mode
Input mode for MPLS is Pipe mode
QoS Trust state is CoS on the following interface:
Te3/1
QoS Trust state is DSCP on the following interface:
Gi2/3
Vlan or Portchannel(Multi-Earl) policies supported: Yes
Egress policies supported: Yes
----- Module [5] -----
QoS global counters:
    Total packets: 207147888661
    IP shortcut packets: 0
    Packets dropped by policing: 0
    IP packets with TOS changed by policing: 2663386
    IP packets with COS changed by policing: 4889352
    Non-IP packets with COS changed by policing: 0
    MPLS packets with EXP changed by policing: 0
Can someone explain to me what I've got wrong here? Is the ACE simply marking traffic destined for the servers behind it and not the return traffic? Am I missunderstanding something?

Well... hopefully someone knows how to classify traffic coming from the ACE.
I've given up on using the ACE to mark traffic as I'm fairly certain it won't do it. At least not the way I want.
However, now I've taken to marking ingress on the rserver switch ports... which has resulted in a partially sucessful solution. Problem is, "partially" successful.
You'll have a bunch of little conversations like this with no tos value full of push-acks:

I think what's happening, is that the conversations full of the P-acks is the load balancer communicating directly with the client (i.e. LB pretending to be the server), whereas the marked traffic is "data only" which the load balancer isn't mangling (like it might/probably is doing with the p-acks) on it's way back to the client.
I also can't modify the configuration of the "virtual ten gig" interface that the 6500 uses as a connection to the ACE module, so can't mark traffic there either. And though I still have a couple of things to try, I don't believe I can do egress marking on a trunk from the 6500 either (connection to the firewalls).
So.... PLEASE... Anyone??? Ideas???

[UDP fast age support for ACE Module]

Hello,
I'm testing 2 ACE modules running A3.0.0 for DNS load balancing (UDP). We're testing this by using a DNS query generator that (always) seems to use the same UDP source port when originating these queries. At the moment, the ACE module is hardly doing any load-balancing.
It looks to me like, that because of this, the ACE believes it's the same session (connection) and doesn't really load-balance, so I started looking for a solution and found the fast-age udp feature. But, it seems this is not supported on my ACE modules. Can any one offer another solution and/or look at my config and see if there is another way to achieve load balancing in a testing environment when using a tool like the one I described?
(I put it that way because i believe in real life since queries come from different IP addresses and randomized udp ports, the ACE module will be just fine).
Thanks in advance!
c.

Hi Carlos,
Correct. The 3.0(0) is really misleading. You need to start with the "A" - so you really have 1.6.3a installed.
The "show version" for V2 is slightly better -
system: Version A2(1.2) [build 3.0(0)A2(1.2)

Question on how does load balancing work on Firewall Services Module (FWSM)

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the algorithm of load balancing on Firewall Services Module (FWSM).
I understand that the FWSM supports up to three equal cost routes on the same interface for load balancing.
Please see a lower simple figure.
outside inside
--- L3 SW --+
|
MHSRP +--- FWSM ----
|
--- L3 SW --+
I am going to configure the following default routes on FWSM point to each MHSRP VIP (192.168.13.29 and 192.168.13.30) for load balancing.
route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.29 1
route outside_1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.13.30 1　　　　　　
However I don't know how load balancing work on FWSM.
On FWSM, load balancing work based on
Per-Destination ?
Per-Source ?
Per-Packet ?
or
Other criteria ?
Your information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,

Configuring "tunnel default gateway' on the concentrator allowed traffic to flow as desired through the FWSM.
FWSM is not capable of performing policy based routing, the additional static routes for the VPN load balancing caused half of the packets to be lost. As a result, it appears that the VPN concentrators will not be able to load balance.

Ace module dropping assymetric layer 2 connections

Hi we had a situation in where the ACE would randomly drop certain tcp connections, and all ICMP packets from a certain windows server. The server in question was using Transmit Load Balancing with Fault Tolerance.
The server has one Nic connected to Access switch1, and the other nic connected to Access switch2. Each access switch connects up to a pair of 6509's, which is active on Core1 on both switches.
I am guessing If the server sends on Nic 2, core1 knows it came in on the downstream trunk port to Switch2, it must reply to these packets based on the teamed mac of the layer 3 address(no idea who is arping for the destination - the ace?), and send them back out the downstream trunk port to switch1. The ace module is in transparent mode. When contacting a server on the other side of the ace, the ace drop packets that came from the second nic - and I am wondering how it "knows" that the return path is out of different downstream port. Does it share some kind of layer 2 RPF check with the 6500 ?
Please note there is no routing involved here. The destination server is just on another vlan on the same subnet, on the other side of the ace.

Bryan,
As long as the server replies back to the ACE the client should only be commmunicating with the VIP address in either of your two examples.
In your first example the flow will look like this.
client > VIP after the ACE client > rserver
the reply would be
rserver > client after the ACE VIP > rserver
In your second example using client nat it will look like this
Client > VIP After ACE Natpool > rserver.
the reply would be
rserver > Nat-pool after ACE VIP > client.
The ACE by default will always nat the vip to the server ip unless you use the command "transparent" under the serverfarm. When using this command we send the packet to the MAC address of the server leaving the destination IP of the VIP. The server would need to have the VIP address configured under the loopback interface.
Regards
Jim

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.

Hello F.Makarenko-
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

Configuring FT on ACE Modules

Hi,
I am trying to configure FT on ACE modules, with the following commands
ft interface vlan 20
ip address 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.252
peer ip address 172.16.20.2 255.255.255.252
no shutdown
ft peer 1
heartbeat interval 300
heartbeat count 10
ft-interface vlan 20
ft group 1
peer 1
priority 150
associate-context Admin
inservice
The moment I enter the command 'ft interface vlan 20', it gives a prompt that 'interface vlan20 is not associated with ft', how do I resolve this ? Do I need to enable something ?

Hi have the following config which seems to be working fine for me... check your vlan20 interface is up
ft interface vlan 212

ft peer 1

Simple SLB with the ACE Module

Hello,
i have some problems with a ACE module i am currently tesing.
I have a simple Serverfarm with two Servers.
But there seems to be some Problems with the Loadbalancing i not understand:
1) I use Round Robin, but the ACE seems to put me serval times to the same server. I notice this, because i have different content on both servers, also different URLs.
2) withz the show serverfarm statement the total connects do not increment.
switch/slb-c1# show serverfarm webfarm
serverfarm : webfarm, type: HOST
total rservers : 2

I have attatched the Config.
Any Idea what is going on?

what version do you have ?
I would recommend to run the very recent A1.4.
This is something that really should work.

ACE Module Radius with ACS 4.2

Hi,
I am able to authenticate to my ACE modules via Radius, but when I login it does not give my Admin rights. Does anyone have a fix for this? My ACS admin has been working with TAC since last week to no avail.
John...

You have to use a custom AV pair on TACACS server under user setup to make it work. ACE uses RBAC (role based Access Control) and for that you have to pass the context and User Role from Tacacs server to ACE to make it work.If there is no RBAC info is pushed from Tacacs server and user just get authenticated then the default role assigned by ACE is Network-Monitor.
Following steps (On tacacs server) will make it work
1. Select your user
2. goto tacas+ settings
3. Select " shell (exec)" checkbox
4. Select "custom attributes" checkbox
5. Type your context and role information in custom attrib box, using following format
shell:*
for e.g (if context name is Admin, domain is default-domain and you want to assign role "Admin" to this user )
shell:Admin*Admin default-domain
Hope it helps
Syed
