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???

  • QoS on ACE Module

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to apply a 6500 QoS service-policy to a ACE module interface? I would like to leverage CBQOS to apply policing to traffic entering/leaving the ACE module.
    Thanks!
    Lee

    HI Collin,
    You can use this by Configuring Control Plane Policing (CoPP).
    CoPP uses a dedicated control plane configuration through the modular QoS CLI (MQC) to provide filtering and rate-limiting capabilities for the control plane packets.
    CoPP is disabled by default.
    CoPP is only supported on ingress (service-policy output CoPP cannot be applied to the control plane interface). Neither egress CoPP nor silent mode is supported.
    Just follow the CoPP Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions .
    CoPP uses MQC to define traffic classification criteria and to specify the configurable policy actions for the classified traffic. You must first identify the traffic to be classified by defining a class map. The class map defines packets for a particular traffic class. After you have classified the traffic, you can create policy maps to enforce policy actions for the identified traffic. The control-plane global configuration command allows the CoPP service policies to be directly attached to the control plane.
    Use the below mentioned URL for Defining Traffic Classification
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/copp.html#wp1141968
    the commonly required traffic is identified with these ACLs:
    •ACL 120-Critical traffic
    •ACL 121-Important traffic
    •ACL 122-Normal traffic
    •ACL 123-Explicitly denies unwanted traffic
    •ACL 124-All other traffic
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/copp.html
    Use the control plane commands as follows:
    control-plane
    To enter control-plane configuration mode, which allows users to associate or modify attributes or parameters (such as a service policy) that are associated with the control plane of the device, use the control-plane command in global configuration mode. To remove an existing control-plane configuration from the router, use the no form of this command.

  • ACE Module Routed design

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement to install 2 ACE Modules into two 6509 chassis'
    We want to run the ACE modules in a live/live scenario so we can utilise the two ACE modules
    So we want to split the VIPS so we have some live on one ACE and others on the other.
    Also the ACE modules will be setup in routed mode. We have a number of subnets we want to use on the client side - 3 to be exact, and there will be another 3 different subnets on the server side
    A few points which are confusing me
    For each subnet would i have to configure a SVI? And if so you can only have 1 SVI per contect so that would mean creating a context and a SVI for each subnet?
    Are there any example configs which could help me out?
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks
    James

    See the config example here:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_configuration_example09186a00809c3048.shtml
    Normally you only need one client-side subnet per context, but multiple ones work too.
    You'd create an SVI on MSFC for the client-side subnets only, otherwise server traffic would bypass the ACE.
    Also keep in mind when you do active/active, it's done on the context level.
    That means you need to create at least two contexts in addition to the Admin context. (although you can technically run things in /Admin)
    Go through the example above, and the config guides below and you'll be all set:

    Please let me did anyone face this issue before or is it any known BUG?

    HI All, Thanx for the help. Got the resaon from show version output.
    last boot reason:  NP 1 Failed : SRAM Parity Error Chan 3
    Also got the TAC comment on SRAM party error
    The SRAM parity error presented in the core file is not due to a software issue.
    The issue is the result of a "bit-flip" within the SRAM itself which can occur as a
    result of environmental conditions. This "bit-flip" is rectified by a simple reboot of
    the system, which would occur with the generation of the core file. Cisco internal
    testing and customer experience has shown that these types of issues can occur
    with very low frequency, but do not required an RMA of the device.
    If there are multiple instances of this issue on the same module, a proactive RMA/EFA
    of the device would be in order.
    ACE is susceptible to this because of the way it uses SRAM to store control information
    and packet data as opposed to scratch-pad storage. Almost any 1-bit flip will be detected as a
    parity error. Cisco has recognized the issue and is taking action to ensure this will not be
    an issue on the next generation of the ACE module. The next generation module design
    and timeline is currently under review.
    Thnx again for the help

  • ACE module - end-to-end SSL

    Hello,
    I'm in the process of setting up an end to end SSL configuration but it doesn't work and I'm getting a bit confused at this stage.I imported a cert using the terminal (copy/paste) then I imported a key using the same method and the tftp. The TFTP failed and the terminal was displaying a message telling me there was topo many lines.
    I checked with the crypto verify command and it failed telling me "Error: invalid or unsupported key".
    Is there any clear documentation on how to configure an end to end SSL ?
    I used the ACE ssl guide, but it is not really accurate and looks more like a reminder to me rather than a guide.
    I attached the existing config to this post although it does not show the cert and key I imported to the ACE module, it gives a better understanding of what the idea is.
    Did anybody came across the same issues on the first time configuring end-to-end ssl with ACE?

    just don't know where to start.
    I feel like you do not have the right key/cert.
    This would be the very first thing to verify.
    Where did you get your key and cert ?
    What certificate authority signed your certificate ?
    The creation of the session key requires the use of an RSA key pair (private/public).
    Every server must have a public and a private key associated with a certificate signed by a certificate authority.
    If you're not familiar with those concepts, configuring an SSL offloaded like ACE won't be easy.
    Maybe you should start be reading on the subject from various article available on the WEB.
    openssl is a great tool to generate keys and certficates.
    I would suggest maybe to get this free tool and start by creating your own RSA key pair and a self signed certificate.
    Then import everything into ACE.
    Once you have valid key/cert we can continue with the configuration.

  • Cisco ACE module missing licence file - no connectivity

    Hi,
    We have 2 ACE modules that were delivered without any licenses.
    There is no IP connectivity whatsoever to these modules and I'm guessing this is due to the fact there are no licenses installed.
    Have tried asking Cisco to no avail - and am not sure if there is an actual problem with them or not.
    The VLANs are assigned correctly and I can see inbound ICMP echo from the 6509 that its hosted in, but no outbound packets ever leave the ACE. I've applied a mgmt policy to enable ping/telnet/ssh etc.

    The ARP table for the adjacent switch SVI has a valid MAC upon reboot, but soon after resets to 00.00.00.00.00.00
    Problem is that once Cisco eventually send me the license file I have no way of TFTP'ing it to the ACE module.
    Any suggestions/advice?

    Thanks for the info - so I should at least be able to connect to a license-less ACE at least, but these modules seem to have a problem.
    If the modules are reloaded (from the ACE) or reset (from the Supervisor) they initially have the ARP entry (however still cannot communicate to the attached Supervisor via SVI) which eventually resets.

  • Is the ACE Module support IPV6?

    dear all
    is the ACE module support IPV6?
    best regards

    The ACE does not currently support IPv6 but it is being looked at to be added to the feature set.

  • ACE Module vs ACE Appliance

    Hello,
    What is the difference between ACE Module and ACE Appliance? why the ACE Module is better? or ACE Appliance, what is the advantage between Module and Appliance.
    anyone can explain me?
    Best Regards

    In the past Cisco has been shipping two line of Loadbalancing products
    First line ( modules dedicated for 6500/7600 chassis ) includes CSM & CSM-S & SSLSM (for ssl offloading)
    The other line comprises of appliance based CSS series products.
    ACE module is a next generation module replacing CSM modules that fits into 6500/7600 chassis.
    It gives you upto 16Gbps throughput (versus CSM's 4Gbps throughput).
    ACE appliance is a next gen replacement of CSS line of appliance based products.
    CSS appliances were used to come in different Hardware models with varied
    performance capacities. ACE appliance is a single hardware with various licenses
    used to scale the performance/features.Ace appliance supports upto 4Gbps of throughput.
    Previously CSS & CSM code terminologies & command set was different. For example a real server
    was termed as "service" in CSS & was called "real" in CSM . Similarly "probe" in CSM was "keepalive"
    in CSS.
    With ACE line of products you get the same terminologies & command sets for both
    modules & Appliances.
    ACE Appliance & ACE modules are functionality vise coming closer with every new release but
    still there are some differences.
    For example following ACE appliance features are not available in ACE module:
    Appl optimization (flash forward, Delta Encoding)
    Embedded Device manager
    Http compression
    Which one is better than the other really depends on your requirement
    From Performance perspective Module give you much higher performance then Appliance.
    SO if performance is your criteria the ACE module is better than ACE appliance.(Some performance metrics at the end of the post).
    If you are looking for Application optimization & HTTP compression along with Loadbalancing
    then it can only be achieved with ACE appliance.
    If you are not using 6500/7600 series chassis in your environment then you can only use ACE appliance
    (unless you are open to buy module+chassis due to performance requirement).
    Some performance metrics
    Ace Appliance supports 1 Million concurrent connections where as Ace Module supports 4 Million.
    Ace Appliance supports 120K L4 conn/sec where as Ace Module supports 380K L4 conn/sec.
    Ace Appliance supports 40K L7 conn/sec where as Ace Module supports 133K L7 conn/sec.
    Ace Appliance supports upto 4Gbps throughput where as Ace Module supports 16Gbps throughput .

  • ACE Module Cookie Parsing causes Reset Connection

    I am trying to upgrade my ACE Modules from A2(1.3) to A2(3.2) . Unfortunately, the cookie parsing breaks when there are illegal characters and causes a connection reset (RST) when there is an invalid cookie, but only on code later than A2(1.3).
    The cookie in question is being passed by a third party so making them change the cookie is not necessarily do-able. The cookie has the following value:
    Cookie:  CurrentUser={"UserKey":{"Key":"anonymous"},"LastUpdated":"10/13/2010 1:35:52 PM"}
    We are using the following parameter map:
    parameter-map type http CASE_PARAM
      case-insensitive
      persistence-rebalance
      set header-maxparse-length 20480
      length-exceed continue
    On the older code, the request is passed on to the server.
    Is there a setting similar to "length-exceed continue" that I can give the ACE to tell it to ignore cookies it cannot parse?

    HTTP inspection is not enabled.
    Did you mean adding a class-default to the policy-map?
    Adding it to the policy-map does make it match the class-default. Unfortunately, cookie parse errors result in the inability to parse both the cookie and the host header as well. It seems that rather than just failing to parse the cookie and being unable to do sticky matching - it completely fails the entire header parsing.
    Here's our setup:
    rserver host test1
      ip address 192.168.1.101
      inservice
    rserver host test2
       ip address 192.168.1.102
       inservice
    rserver host test3
       ip address 192.168.1.103

  • Cisco ACE Module with Bluecoat Cache Proxy, Transparent and spoofing client IP

    Hello Dears,
    I'm trying to implement Cache loadbalancing through Cisco ACE Module.
    I have 2 Bluecoat cache proxies, when i do configure transparent proxy without spoofing client IP, everything work properly, but when I enable spoofing client IP (reflect client IP address), clients are not able to access internet, although they are going to cache servers, I can see their sessions.
    I'm afraid that I have a problem in the returned traffic PBR.
    can anyone help please.
    Thanks

    Hi Ibrahim
    I ahve reviewed the config. The ACE config is all god but I do see some issue with the switch side. If you are doing ip spoofing, then "match ip address" in pbr should be the client ip address. However, what you did is ip address between the ACE and MSFC. Try to configure the test client ip address into the below access-list.
    msfc---vlan 265---ACE--vlan 264----CE farm
    interface vlan 265

  • Can ACE module and 4710 appliance work redundant together

    Hi.
    I am setting up a testlab for ACE loadbalancing and need to test functionality on both the ACE module and the 4710 appliance.
    Can one of each of these two be set up redundant together with full functionality? Or do I have to test redundancy for 2x ACE modules and 2x 4710 appliances seperate?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    It won't work.
    The code checks if the devices are the same during the HA negotiation.
    If you do a 'show ft peer detail' you should see at the end :
    SRG Compatibility            : WARM_COMPATIBLE
    License Compatibility        : INCOMPATIBLE
    These 2 entries indicate if the box are compatible to run HA between each other.
    The version is checked and the license.
    Both would be different between an ACE module and ACE appliance.

  • Want to know about ACE module in 6509 : load-balancing concept

    Hi,
    I am quite new in this field , where i need to configure and understand the concept of load-balancing through ACE.
    In my existing network set-up , i have some application servers as well as some other servers where i am looking for load-balancing.
    I have gone through some of the site and cisco site as well and i came across ACE module which can be installed in 6509 switch.
    I have 6509 switch as well but before going for installing the ACE module I am keen to understand below things:
    1) what is difference between CSM or any other product load-balancer and ACE module :
    Gone through site as well , but not getting proper answer or comparison.
    1) I have some of the server configured with clustering and getting one virtual IP, In this case , will ACE work ?
    2) If suppose i go for configuring different IP address with all server IP :
    How do i achieve it ?
    3) what is Virtual IP concept in ACE because i do not have and other ACE module then why do i need virtual IP ?
    4) will the load-balancing happens based on destination based or session based ?
    Please share the knowledge. It would be great help for me to go ahead with ACE and configure it and understand all the application ?

    Hello,
    1) what is  difference between CSM or any other product load-balancer and ACE  module :
    There are several differences but to say simply, you get higher performance and more features with ACE module/appliance comparing others.
    One big difference is that with ACE seriese, you can configure multiple contexts on one box (virtual load-balancers on one box) that makes us possible to provide a virtual load-balancer to a customer. In that way, the customer can access and makes changes on only the virtual box. You can split management domain for each customers. Also using contexts, you can assign certain resources available on the hardware for each contexts according to their service contract.
    ACE serise has specific hardware chip for supporting SSL termination but some others do not.
    For instance, you need a CSM-S, or a CSM and a SSL module to terminate SSL.
    The other thing I should mention is that our most recent product is ACE serise that means it has longer product roadmap.
    Let me try clarifying your other questions.
    3)  what is Virtual IP concept in ACE because i do not have and other ACE  module then why do i need virtual IP ?
    4) will the load-balancing happens  based on destination based or session based ?
    I think I'd better to put 3) and 4) first.
    Virtual ip  address (VIP) is the address to which client accesses.
    VIP is tied with a  serverfarm or serverfarms, in a serverfarm one or multiple rservers can  be configured.
    "serverfarm" is a group of "rservers".
    "rserver" means  real-server that has an ip address and processes transactions.
    When a client  accesses to the VIP, ACE picks up a rserver according to algorithm.
    If you configure a  VIP that is tied with a serverfarm where only one rsever is  configured, client accesses to the virtual ip address are
    all forwarded to  the rserver.
    If you configure a  VIP that is tied with a serverfarm where multiple rsevers are  configured,  client accesses to the virtual ip address are
    balanced among  those rservers.
    If you configure  multiple VIPs, client accesses to those VIPs are forwareded to  corresponding rservers according to configuration.
    1)  I have some of the server configured with clustering and getting one  virtual IP, In this case , will ACE work ?
    ACE load-balances connections to configured rservers.
    If the clustered servers are sharing one virtual ip address and you configure the virtual ip address as a rserver, all connections are
    sent to the virtual ip address. That is not "load-balancing" on ACE... You need multiple rservers to which ACE load-balances connections.
    2) If suppose i go for  configuring different IP address with all server IP :
    How do i  achieve it ?
    You can configure those ip addresses as rserver ip address.
    Multiple rservers are tied into a group, "serverfarm".
    I'm not certain about your culstered servers but I guess you can configure each ip addresses in the culster as rservers.
    Then put those rservers in a serverfarm.Client accesses to a virtual ip address configured on ACE for the serverfarm.
    This way connections are load-balanced among those rservers depending on load-balancing algorithm you choose.
    Above is just an overveiw. ACE gives you granular control not mentioned above.
    I can provide more specific information if you tell me details of what you are trying to archive with ACE.
    Regards,
    Kimihito.

    Hello Akhtar,
    Can you upload the command: #show version?
    Can you upload the dir core: , hopefully the ACE might have generated some core dumps which might help us to determine the failure?
    Here you have a link about getting the core dumps:
    http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_%28ACE%29_Troubleshooting_Guide_--_Overview_of_ACE_Troubleshooting#Copying_Core_Dumps
    Have you experienced this issue before? Did you experience this issue during a high peak of traffic?
    Did you apply any change in the configuration?
    #show tech-support and core dumps would help to determine if this was a hardware failure or a software defect
