Cisco CSM URL REQUEST

Hello,
I'm looking for 'Support Pages' if any for cat65k CSM module. I have found ample documentation etc but I normally begin with support docs before touching basic and advanced config guides...
Any help would be appreciated.

  • CISCO CSM- IP transparency

    Hi,
    I work for a software development company. Our application clients (Typically different TCP/IP devices) connect to the server a over custom port (44XX).
    Now we want to support server farms, load balancing using CISCO CSM to fulfill a customer need.
    Our application requires knowing the IP address of the client connecting. If load balancer is in between client and server, when client connected to our server port, Do we (Server) see the IP address of load balancer or IP address of the client when opening the socket or sending the data ?
    If Server sees load balancer IP, is there any thing we can configure in load balancer so that Server/port sees the IP address of client instead of load balancer IP ?
    Thanks for your help.

    All depends on your logical/physical topology between your 6500/CSM/Servers.
    Iif the CSM is configured on bridging mode meaning that your servers are on a L2 VLAN on the MSFC and pointing their default gateway to the CSM then you won't require source NAT on your set up. In this case the backend servers will be able to see/log the real IP address of your clients as the CSM does not modify anything at L3.
    On the other hand if you have a "routed" mode where your servers are sitting on a L3 VLAN on the MSFC and their default gateway usually points to the SVI they belong to then most likely you'll face asymmetric routing issues where the response from a load balance connection will bypass the CSM as the servers are able to respond to the client directly. In this case you do implement source NAT on your SF's which will overwrite the source IP address of the client with the IP address that you configure on the Natpool in question.
    In the second case for HTTP traffic you can always perform the header-insert function on the CSM so that the real IP address of the client will be appended to a new HTTP header, the configuration will look like this:
    map HEADER-INSERT header
      insert protocol http header X-Forwarder-For header-value %is
    policy INSERT
    header-map HEADER-INSERT
    serverfarm WEBFARM
    vserver Webfarm               
      virtual 10.44.60.160 any
      slb-policy INSERT <--- Policy
      advertise
      persistent rebalance
      inservice
    You will see the following in the HTTP header:
    Hypertext Transfer Protocol
        GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n
            Request Method: GET
            Request URI: /
            Request Version: HTTP/1.1
               X-Forwarder-For: 161.44.77.112\r\n
    Hope this helps.

  • How cisco CSM parses packets?

    Hi all, Some days ago i had a problem with a Cisco CSM configuration. The short history is that i had to change the parse-length (virtual server submode) command to the max. 4000 bytes value for this implementation to work, if i dont do this the CSM sends resets to the client. what i would like to know is if someone knows how the CSM parses packets when it is "searching" for a string,cookie,etc, i am having some difficulties finding info about this.

    The parse length on the CSM is the amount of bytes we can store to find the needed information (ie: cookie).
    So when we get an HTTP request or response the CSM will buffer everything it received up to max parse-len or header limit (\r\n\r\n).
    Once we reached the end of the HTTP header we stop buffering.
    While buffering we also start looking for the info that we need.
    If we do find it we also stop buffering.
    There is nothing magic here.
    If the HTTP header gets so big that the info we are looking for goes beyond the max-parse-len when we start buffering looking for the info, we endup using all the buffer space allocated to the connection and decide to drop the connections as we don't know if the info is just not there, or somewhere further in the header but we don't have space to buffer more.
    When the CSM was created a long time ago, 2000bytes for the header was normal.
    Nowadays, http header tends to be bigger and it is very often require to bump the parse length even further than 4000 bytes.
    This can be done with a variable.

  • Cisco CSM and WCS on same server

    Hi,
    Currently we are running Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS applications on different servers.
    Please let me know can it possible to install Cisco CSM and Cisco WCS on one server.
    Regards,

    As per their datasheet, both CSM and WCS support VMware or can run as virtual servers. So it should be possible to implement both as virtual servers and run on the same physical server.

  • URL Request  Strings

    Hi,
    I have found information through research about the URL structure for 'passing information between pages' using the p?f=110:100:etc etc.
    We currently employ Apex to provide an insurance quotation engine for a third party and rely on a link on their pages to direct customers to our application.
    My question is...
    Is it possible to include (in a similar manner to say php) request variables - the client requires a 'customer friendly URL' i.e. www.myinsurance.com/apex/travel.insurance as opposed to www.myinsurance/apex/p?f=100:1:::::::::::::::::
    I assume it is not possible to link to an Apex app using www.myinsurance.com/apex/travel.insurance?referrer=STAFFMEMBER
    Please could you explain if it is possible to pass values in a 'customer friendly' URL to an apex application and if so how (or if not prepared to tell me, point me in the right direction of some reference material).
    Regards
    John

    Hi John,
    the Apache module mod_rewrite is the way to go. They can use the URL format they want to have and as soon this URL request goes to your Apache, it will be "translated" to the format APEX requires.

  • Cisco CSM - Has anyone deployed it in their environment for IDS/IPS devices

    We are an MSP and are evaluating Cisco CSM to manage about 50 IDS/IPS devices. Each of these devices has their own customer signature policy.
    Does anyone use it in their production environments? Do you find it useful?
    Regarding policy management for devices that already have a signature policy, I know you can discover the policy, what we want to do is take the current discovered policy, modify it if we need to and then re-deploy it to the device. I'm finding that this is all read only once the policy is discovered.
    Is there a way to modify the signature, for example, adding a logging parameter and then re-deploy?
    Just curious if others had similar experiences with CSM.
    Thanks!

    haxworthy,
    I currently use CSM to manager a variety of IPS devices (IOS IPS, 42xx Sensors, 65xx-series blades). The policies vary on some devices. CSM works wonderfully. CSM discoveries the various policies on the device on an individual basis. Policies can then be edited on a per-sensor basis or on a group level. Has worked wonderful in our environment. A nice upgrade from the old IPSMC. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Michael, thank you for your detailed answer. I accept your suggestion about the issue related to sandbox api in IE9. Reducing concurent requests helped and was necessary for smooth flow of my app. However I believe this is an issue that should be targeted on flash player level not app code... I will consider filing a bug
    I strongly disagree with your conclusion:
    At the end of the day, if you can only make 6 or so concurrent requests at the same time, it's pointless to try and send more - either reduce the number of requests (preferably), or wait for the first batch to finish before sending some more.

  • Open url request from PopUpManager

    Hi,
    I have a function which opens a new browser window with the result of a URL request (an image). I wonder if  I can do the same but with a window "embedded" in the flash application.
    I saw there is a class called PopUpManager. I understood that I have to create a new component ("popup") with the data for the new window. The problem is that I don't know how to pass the result of the URL request to that popup component.
    Is it possible at all? Is there any other alternative?
    Regards,
    Manolo

    Hi there
    Yep cool with the PopUpManager.centrePopUp.
    As for saving an image.  You can save graphics from Flex by specifiying a rectangular region you want to save.  You can save the selected region out as a jpg or a png using the encoders.  In the example below I have saved out an image. 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
         import mx.graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder;
         import flash.utils.ByteArray;
         private function saveImage():void {
              var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myImage.contentWidth, myImage.contentHeight);
              bitmapData.draw(myImage);    
              var jpeg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder();
              var byteArray:ByteArray = jpeg.encode(bitmapData);
              var file:FileReference = new FileReference();
              file.save(byteArray,'TestImage.jpg');
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Image id="myImage" x="78" y="33" width="283" height="180" source="http://www.maniacworld.com/amazing-cars.jpg"/>
    <mx:Button x="78" y="236" label="Button" click="saveImage()"/>
    </mx:Application>
    Note you need to be compiling for Flash PLayer 10 in your Flex compiler settings as that allow you to read and write local files.
    Hope it helps
    Andrew.

  • Encoding the URL request

    Could you plz assist me how encode the URL request that is getting from the client.The query about discarding a session is as follows
    (1)What will happened when employing invalidate() method of a session.
    (2) What is the distinguishing of invalidate() and logout if both has performed that all of the user's session will have been expired if we invoke anyone

    Making some guesses here.
    The invalidate() method does what it says: it invalidates the session. Most HttpSessionMethods will throw an IllegalStateException if called on an invalid session.
    There is no method or event that causes a "logout". It's something you have to do programmatically using the invalidate() method. Or the session could timeout in which case also it becomes invalid ( which is basically done by the container as opposed to you calling invalidate() )
    About URL encoding: do you mean URL rewriting which appends a session id to the URL to be used in case cookies are disabled? Then you need encodeURL() and encodeRedirectURL(). Working with the session with rewriting of URLs is exactly the same for you ( in your code ) as it is normally.
    If you mean making a safe URL, you need URLEncoder: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
    I hope I got something right here.

  • How to tell which country a URL request is generated?

    Hi,
    We need to know the geographical location of a user at least the country information for our application. I learn the country where a URL request is generated can be detected. A package, called CountryHawk, on Jason Hunter's Servlet.com site demonstrated the function. Can someone teld me how it is implemented.
    Thanks in adnvance.
    v.

    What I find is where the country of my internet connection provider's location address.Yes, that is what you will get.
    I try the ip2country.com site. They get the country right, but not anything more, that is to say the site doesn't have my province/state right.Yes, that is true also. The IP addresses are given out to the Internet Service Providers in a controlled way, which is why those databases can be created. But the ISPs are free to give out their assigned blocks of IP addresses in any way they choose, and the people who make those IP-to-country database have not yet interviewed the many thousands of ISPs to see exactly how they did it. And I don't expect anybody will be doing that anytime soon.

  • Cisco CSM 4.1: import/export IPv6 networks/hosts

    Does sombodey know an import/export functionality for the IPv6 network/host objects in Cisco CSM? The existing perl script PolicyObjectImportExport.pl supports only IPv4 objects.
    Thx

    Yep
    I had this issue with the service objects. When I created the fliter for the service objects also the CSM predefined objects are displayed. I selected all these objects and choose to delete them. During the delete process CSM stopped to delete the objects by the first CSM predefined object.
    I think you have the same issue (for example with the predefined "any" object, if not referenced in your polocies).
    Workaround:
    - apply filter again and delete the displayed objects (deselect the predefined objects before).

  • CSM - url rewriting - possible?

  • Cisco CSM - reals / VIP seperated by a firewall

    Hi,
    Briefly, for various reasons, we are locating a pair of applicances on a DMZ frontended by a firewall. We intend to configure inbound traffic via a Cisco CSM located infront of that firewall.
    My question  is what interface would send the health probes from the CSM ? We are using a source NAT client pool so I`m assuming it would be the interface of the CSM in that vlan...is this correct ?
    Many Thanks

    Hello!
    The CSM will send the probe with the source IP of the packet that the probe leaves based on the best route to it.
    i.e
    If the destination IP on the probe matches a layer 2 segment, then we arp for the MAC, then send the packet with the source ip of the interface vlan the arp was responded to.
    If the IP is not layer 2 adjacent, the CSM will send the probe out of the interface vlan based on its routing table. The source ip of the packet is the vlan ip on the chosen outbound interface.
    Please let me know if that clarifies what you were asking for.
    Regards,
    Chris
