CSM concurrent bridge and router mode

Hi,
Is it possible on the CSM to use bridge and router mode at the same time ? Or is it only router mode or only bridge mode ?
E.g. in the example below, when using HTTPS entering the vlan 3 , it will be bridged to vlan 3....But when using HTTP entering vlan 3...it will be routed to vlan 4... Will that work ?
Thanks
vlan 3 client
ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0
vlan 3 server
ip address 3.3.3.1 255.255.255.0
vlan 4 server
ip address 4.4.4.1 255.255.255.0
vserver HTTPS
vlan 3
virtual 3.3.3.10 tcp https
serverfarm HTTPS
serverfarm HTTPS
no nat server
no nat client
real 3.3.3.11
inservice
real 3.3.3.12
inservice
vserver HTTP
vlan 3
virtual 3.3.3.11 tcp http
serverfarm HTTP
serverfarm HTTP
nat server
no nat client
real 4.4.4.10
inservice
real 4.4.4.11
inservice

HI Michel,
first of all you can run bridged and routed mode at the same time but you can not define the same vlan as client and server. If you would change the above config from vlan 3 server to vlan 30 server and place the reals in vlan 30 it will work. A proper layer 2 configuration is for sure the prerequisit.
Kind regards,

  • CSM bridge vs router mode

    Hi,
    Can the CSM be used in both the bridge and router mode for different VLANS ? Or does it need to use all router mode and all bridged mode ?

    you can have a mix of both.

  • Bridge mode and router mode

    hello,
    I want to understand the basic operation, difference and advantages of both Bridge Mode and Router mode?
    i also want to know in which case i should go for Bridge mode and Router mode?
    regards
    Devang

    It realy depends on your requirements.
    Mainly bridge mode is used for multicast support, Multiple DMZs + FWSM, server initiated connections or for seemless migration from previously installed "bridged load balancing environment".
    Some of the differences are
    In bridge mode you do not need additional config for "Direct server access" / "Server Initiated connections"
    Broadcasts are dropped in routed mode whereas they are bridged in bridge mode.
    LB functionality is same in both modes.

    Hello
    I am wondering if it is possible to configure one ACE context to support both routed and bridge interface?
    I would like to have a bridge-mode context but in the same time I would like to have a separated OOB interface for management.
    If it is possible how they could interact to each other?
    Thank you in advance for any answer

    Hello
    We've just tried to configure bridged and routed interfaces at the same time in the lab and we've had a problem.
    When we added the def gw for the bridged config we noticed that we had an issue with the traffic src by the rservers in the routed config.
    When we deleted the new def gw, the problem disappeared.
    I am attaching the lab config.
    When we added to it the following line
    ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.163
    reals B1-B10 could not communicate to the outside world.
    Do you know why it does not worked and what could we do to fix it ?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Differences between One Arm and Route modes?

    Hi Guys,
    What are the differences between One Arm and Route modes? Can anyone please explain?

    Have a look at the two links below. They provide configuration examples for each of the two topologies along with explanation on the different commands used.

  • Can I configure csm as one arm and routing mode at the same time?

    My csm currently is configured as the routing mode and bridge mode, resently I have a service requirement which I think the one arm mode should be the best resolution. Can anybody let me know if there will be any affect if I add the one arm mode to the currently production environment?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jason

    Gille,
    Thanks for your quick response. I notice you have same opinion about the one arm mode in your other post, but I think in the multi-tire data center design with fw in bridge mode and csm in one arm mode with RHI, do give us a lot of flexibilty. If I use policy routing instead of source nat, can I overcome these limit you metioned?
    Do you know who csm could handle the TFTP traffic? I may have too much question, I am realy looking for your suggestion.
    Thanks

  • Difference between bridge mode and routed mode on CSS

    Hi,
    Could some one tell me the difference between routed mode and bridge mode.
    Regards
    Neha

    Hi,
    routed mode:
    The CSS acts as a router, it routes packets from the client to the server. The server has the ACE configured as default-gateway.
    There is a client-side VLAN and a server-side VLAN. These VLANs have different subnets.
    Bridged mode:
    The CSS acts as a bridge, it switches frames from the client to the server. The server has the upstream router configured as default-gateway.
    There is a client-side VLAN and a server-side VLAN. These VLANs have the same subnet, but different VLAN IDs. The ACE bridges the client traffic from the client-side VLAN to the server-side VLAN.
    Bridged mode would be most used in case one cannot change the servers IP addresses, or if address space is an issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards,
    Dario

  • ISE iPEP + 3rd party device VPN bridge or route mode

    Dear All,
    I would like to get some advice from the community regarding my idea.
    We would like to integrate ISE iPEP with a 3rd party VPN device using bridge mode.
    However i can only find documents describing the following scenarios,
    - routed mode with VPN device
    - bridge mode with Wireless Controller
    So the questions is that is bridge mode supported if i would like to integrate ISE iPEP with a 3rd party VPN device or is it even possible to achive this kind of deployment?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Erik Molnar

    Thanks for the reply Marcin.  Both of your suggestions are good ones, however in this scenario both DC firewalls are alive at the same time, so there needs to be some kind of logic on the device at the remote site to say that it should only use tunnel B if tunnel A is down.
    Thinking on this, is it possible to run an 'interface' or 'routed' mode IPSEC VPN with the ASA?  I know this is possible with the Fortigates and think it's the default mode for Junipers.  If that were possible we might be able to have both tunnels up and have OSPF run over them which would be another way to solve this problem.

  • Bridge or Router Mode?

    I have adsl modem asus dsl13 (mode adsl2+ ). Provider has a PPoE.
    What a proper option for TC - bridge or router?

    You can do either bridge on the modem and router on the TC.. or router on the asus modem and bridge on the TC.
    There is hardly any difference in overall performance.. since adsl is the limiting factor here.
    But a few things to consider.
    Pro router in the TC
    1. The TC is a much faster router than the asus, if you need speed. (For normal setup makes no difference)
    2. The TC often behaves better when it is the router to clients running time machine. (TC should be main router in the network if you keep having issues and losing connection with it).
    Pro router in the Asus.
    1. The TC is peculiarly apple, and misses out some things important. eg QoS, very important if you are running voip phones, upnp, very important if you run gaming consoles.
    2. If you run the Asus as the main router you have direct access to the modem stats. This is difficult behind a bridged modem.
    3. You can run PPPoA, which is slightly more efficient encapsulation method if your ISP supports it. For many people the ISP does not support pppoe so they have little choice. Sometimes PPPoA is the preferred method by the ISP and is just more reliable.
    For the vast majority of people there is no right answer. Pick what works for you.

  • How to configure Airport as wireless bridge and wired mode?

    I have two airport extremes.
    1)APBN#1 - connected to Cable Modem and local 8port switch
    2) APBN#2 - in wireless bridge mode + Ethernet connected to APBN#1
    I would like APBN#2 to act as a wireless bridge to extend my wireless range for my notebooks, but also provide wired ethernet connection to computers connected to it. HOwever, this creates an IP loop.
    How would I be able to confiture my APBN#2 to act as BOTH a wireless bridge and ethernet switch without conflict?
    Thanks

    I am having related problem I think ... have Cox ISP, a Linksys cable modem and AEBS #1 ... ethernet out of cable modem into AEBS #1 then into netgear 24 port switch (to feed all the ethernet ports in my house). I am unable to have both the AEBS and the wired network function at the same time.
    They have been working for a couple years now ... and for some reason recently (past couple days) been problems...
    If I get the wired (flowing through the AEBS) to work -- then no DNS is being sent to the wireless. If I get the wireless to work, the wired won't.... AEBS #1 (numbering it because once I it up I have another to extend it....)
    thanks

  • RV042 - What's a practical difference between gateway and router mode

    That´s my scenario, I have a RV042 as gateway  on subnet 192.168.254.0,subnet 192.168.0.0 on the same LAN and  3 vpn tunnels connected GATEWAY TO GATEWAY on subnet 192.168.1.0,192.168.2.0 and 192.168.4.0. I setup 192.168.0.0 as Multiple Subnet on RV042 so now i can ping 192.168.0.0 from RV042 but i can´t do this from clients. What i want to know is What will happen if i change RV042 mode from gateway to router and What do i do to make clients (workstations) on subnet 192.168.254.0 reach clients in subnet 192.168.0.0 .
    Thx
    Everyone

    Gateway mode = RV042 does NAPT (network address & port translation);
    Router mode = RV042 does not do NAPT

  • Bridge and Client Mode for dual radio 3502

    I want to use my dual radio 3502e AP to service clients on the 2.4 MHz and do a point to point bridge on the 5 GHz.  Is that possible?

    Hi,
    3500 series AP's are technically only supported in lightweight (controller based) mode.
    7.0.116.0 allows 3500's (as well as most other models) to operate in mesh mode.  This would be a better alternative.

  • Difference between bridge and local mode with wlc 5508

    Hello,
    Now i have wlc5508 with few ap 11xx 12xx in local mode. All work correct. I will have to add few ap1552 in bridge mode ( i have to wait for wlc upgrade to change ap1552 to local mode). My question is that all ( local and bridge mode) will work correct together for my clients: rfid readers, laptop, computer in a,b,g,n mode ? What about roaming  and other feature ?
    thanks for help
    Peter

    If you plan on not doing MESH, then you set these 1552's in local mode and they will perform the same tasks as any other AP's in local mode.  When you want to do MESH, then that is when bridge mode comes into play and you have to define your RAP's and MAP's.
    Roaming, clients devices, doesn't matter if your using local or bridge.  roaming depends on your device and coverage and rfid, also depends on triangulation with the coverage you have now.

  • CSM route mode and bridge mode can exist at the same time?

    I'm using CSM on ver 4.x,and I used to the bridge mode for firewall load balance,for a new requset,I have to create a new server/client vlan,but the original firewall load balance was effected when I issued the server vlan command,and I'd like to use route mode for the new server farm,I'm wondering that route mode and brige mode can't exist at the same time,because it seems it doesn't make sense.Any reply will be very appreciated.

    you can use bridge mode and route mode at the same time.
    Traffic with desintation mac address being the CSM will be routed, otherwise it will be bridged.

  • Cuestion about CSM on bridge&router mode

    Hello!!
    Plese help me with this cuestion about CSM connection modes:
    We have 2 Cat6500 with a CSM inside of each (CSM1 on Cat6500_1 and CSM2 on Cat6500-2)
    The CSM1 is on bridge mode with Vlan31 for Client side and Vlan131 for Server side.
    The CSM2 is on router mode with Vlan30 for Client side an Vlan2 for Server side.
    We want to join both switches for redundancy purposes (switches and CSMs).
    We want to merge the two Client Vlans (include the logical IP segments) on a /23 mask.
    But the cuestions here are:
    Can we keep the original config (bridge mode and router mode) on the CSM1 (for example)
    considering this Module as active and CSM2 as standby?
    Is there any consideration to take in count in order to configure this? (Some examples...)
    Thanks in advance
    Pedro

    yes, you can mix bridge more and router mode and so merge the 2 configs.
