CSS - Configs

Hi
Have some basic queries rleated to CSS configuration.
Total two sites are present in the network and both sites are having CSS.
In a Cluster environment, one server is connected to 1st network CSS and VIP is being assigned and second server is connected to 2nd network CSS and VIP is being assigned.
What are the basic configuration parameters one should consider for doing load balancing between these two servers.
( 1st Server NA request should get go to the 2nd Server) Also have to configure Source NAT compared to Destination NAT which is default in CSS.
regards
R.Sundara Rajan

what you need is something like this
server local
ip x.x.x.x
active
server remote
ip x.x.x.x
active
owner XXXXX
content xyz
vip x.x.x.x
add service local
primarysorryserver remote
active
group xyz
vip x.x.x.x
add destination service remote
[add destination service local]
active
The group is to nat the source ip to guarantee that the response from the remote server will come back to this css, so it can be forwarded to the client after doing reverse nating of the vip address.
If you are in one-armed mode, you may also need to do client nat for the local server.
Finally, if your traffic is http only, you could configure 'service remote' as an HTTP redirect to the remote vip.
This will avoid traffic having to go from one site to the other.
You can find easily on this website sample config for css http redirect configuration.

Gilles.

CSS Config Syncing problem 8.10

When I sync two CSSs running virtual router redundancy with "script play commit_vip_redundancy", I get an error about the remote unit not having the virtual IP configured.
If I try add the IP to the circuit (ip redundant-vip) on the backup CSS manually first, I get an error that the content rule does not exist.
So currently I'm pasting the config into the devices separately, which is time consuming. Only after the config is present on the 2nd unit can I replicate changes using the specified script.
I am running ver 8.10 software. Any solutions to the problem?
Related to the above, is there an easy way to switch over to box-box redundancy from VIP, keeping in mind that the configuration is over 4000 lines long with hundreds of services and content rules?

First, I would not recommend to switch over to box-to-box redundancy.
You have better failover response time with vip redundancy.
Regarding your issue, I would suggest to open a service request with the TAC.
Provide your config and the output of "script play commit_vip_redundancy -d"
We need to investigate this and submit a bug if necessary.

CSS Config Synchronization

Hi,
I have a similar question joerg.micheel already asked about Configuration Synchronization of CSS boxes.
My first box CSS-1 is already setup with the config as shown at the bottom (excluding Services, Rules),
and i have already reserved IPs for CSS-2 VLAN40 (Outside) 10.10.40.4 ; VLAN70 (Inside) 172.16.70.4 for VIP/ViF Redundancy.
initially i can manually configure CSS-2 with right IPs (VLAN40 - 10.10.40.4 and VLAN70 - 172.16.70.4) but when i will use the command Commit_vip_redundancy "local 10.10.40.3 remote 10.10.40.4 -a" on CSS-1
Will it copy the entire configuration (due to -a switch) including overriding VLAN70 IP-172.16.70.3
Because in the Sync command there is no option to specify the remote side Ip address for inside interface.
if that happens, i will end up having 172.16.70.4 as duplicate IP address on the inside network ??
and also how about other parameters such as final Hostname of CSS-2, Management IP address of CSS-2,
these parameters are expected to be unique on both boxes
Thanks,
Sanjeev
CSS-1 configuration :
APP
APP session 10.10.40.4
interface 1/1
bridge vlan 70
interface 1/2
bridge vlan 40
circuit VLAN40
ip address 10.10.40.3 255.255.255.0

ip redundant-interface 1 10.10.40.2

ip virtual-router 1 priority 101 preempt
ip redundant-interface 1 172.16.70.2
ip critical-service 1 upstream_downstream

I've now resolved this issue after getting second CSS Unit in-hand.
The Synchronization script actually copied all the configuration such as DQL, Owners, Content Rules, Services etc from Active Unit to Standby Unit. But The Interface IP addresses were left as it is, so The Script probably has built-in intelligence to not to override interface IP addresses - Which will result in Duplicate IP addresses.
Following was the output from the Script for Config Synchronization :

DNS ZONE Config on CSS

Hi All,
Is it possible to config DNS ZONE config on CISCO CSS.
Can anyone explain me what does this commands do
dns-server zone 1 tier1 "primary"
dns-server
dns-record a <Zone Name> <External IP> 1 single kal-icmp <VIP> 254 sticky-disabled weightedrr 1

How to Configure the CSS to Load Balance DNS Servers
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_configuration_example09186a00801d015a.shtml
For example,Basically we need to enter the following commands:
Configure the DNS server zone for zone-based DNS. Specify the zone, tier number, and an optional text description:
- CSS (config)# dns-server zone 0 tier1 ""
Configure the CSS to act as a DNS server:
- CSS (config)# dns-server
Add the DNS records as needed:
- CSS (config)# dns-record a www.home.com 192.x.1.1 15 single kal-ap 172.x.25.1 50
sticky-enabled
Configure DNS as primary to point to itself:
CSS (config)# dns primary 172.x.1.90
(circuit VLAN1 - ip address 172.3x.1.90 / 24)
This is just an example but it is basically all you need to configure DNS on the box.
DNS configuration commands:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/css/css_710/cmdrefgd/cmdglobc.htm#wp1104782
A different use on the box for DNS would be basically to load balance the DNS traffic
between DNS servers. This is however something different to configure on the box and more
details can be found here:

Domain Name Change in CSS

We have a CSS doing HTTP load balancing. There is no SSL termination done on this device.
will the domain name change have any impact on the load balancer?
thanks
sathappan

If you see the domain name in your CSS config, then yes there will be an impact.
Otherwise, no.
By default we do not check the domain name.

CSS to ACE Migration Tool

Hi,
We are planning to upgrade from the existing CSS 11500 series to ACE (6506 bundle with 720 Sup engine). To facilitate a smooth migration, do we have any tool/procedure set?
Thanks,
RG.

Currently there is no such tool to migrate CSS configs to ACE module. I heard that such a tool will be available with the release of ACE appliance (ACE box).

Connections between servers using CSS VIP?

In our new pre-production environment we have several servers connected to a 3750 switch, which is then connected to a CSS 11503. Upstream the CSS is then connected to an ASA firewall pair. The CSS VIPs are 10.22.1.0/24 on the "outside" and the servers have 10.21.1.0/24 addresses on the inside. The CSS inside & server 3750 switchports are all on the same VLAN. There is no PAT/NAT configured (except for the VIP being translated to a chosen server IP I suppose).
Whilst the clients will connect to the servers via the VIPs what we want is for each server to also be able to talk to other servers via a VIP. This is because some of the servers provide a service (LDAP actually) that we would like to be load balanced.
Now, what is curious, is that *this works* in our production environment where the servers are *directly* attached to the 8 port switch module in the CSS. However in this new environment, where the 3750 is between the servers and the CSS, it doesn't (actually you can ping the VIP sucessfully but nothing else works).
I have seen other postings on NetPro where people are trying similar things, like: http://forum.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Networking%20Solutions&topic=Application%20Networking&CommCmd=MB%3Fcmd%3Ddisplay_location%26location%3D.1dd81312 and http://forums.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/NetProf?page=netprof&forum=Emerging%20Technologies&topic=Content%20Networking&CommCmd=MB?cmd=display_location&location=.1dd72fd0
The relevant CSS config I think (there are lots more services etc but they are all similar) is:
circuit VLAN1
ip address 10.21.1.100 255.255.255.0
circuit VLAN2
ip address 10.22.1.1 255.255.255.0
keep alive ssokeepalive
type http
keepalive port 7777
uri "/sso/status"
keepalive frequency 10
keepalive maxfailure 2
tcp-close fin
active
service pulpldp001sso
ip address 10.21.1.6
keepalive type named ssokeepalive
active
content SSO
vip address 10.22.1.12
protocol tcp
port 7777
application http
url "/*"
advanced-balance cookie
add service pulldp001
active
i.e. VIP 10.22.1.12 will be directed to the server 10.21.1.6 (only the one shown above).
Q1) My first question is: is server to server communication via an outside VIP possible?!
Q2) Given that this seems to work our production environment without the 3750s any idea what areas of config could be wrong on the 3750 or the servers? (we've tried default routes of both the 3750 and the ISS inside address but that hasn't worked). Note the ping from a server works but when we try, say, "telnet 10.22.1.12 7777" that doesn't connect.
Q3) Let's assume that the servers run more than one service, e.g. an HTTP and an LDAP service. If a server can communicate with another server using its VIP, will it work from one server up to the CSS/VIP and back to itself? (of course it may or may not actually return to itself depending on the load etc)
I can provide full configs on Monday if required.
Hope these aren't dumb questions! Many thanks!
Simon
PS. the CSS is running 7.50 at the moment but could upgrade to 8.2 if required

Thank you Adedayo - that appears to have done the trick! I can't believe it: one little keyword!
I have to say, even once you told me the answer I still didn't find the Cisco content config manual very helpful on this point (perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?).
Note: we're not currently doing any PAT on the CSS so don't have any source groups set up - perhaps most people do and so don't have the same problem.
I'll get chance to report back on some proper testing next week and promise to update this conversation.
Adedayo: sorry, I wanted to flag your post as solving my problem once I was sure next week but now the tick box has gone - if you reply again I'll flag that! I appreciate you taking the trouble to post.
One final question: do you have a situation where you use a VIP from a server to potentially connect back to itself? If so, does it work OK? (e.g. if you have a webserver can you connect to the content VIP that it belongs to?)
Simon

CSS 11506 Help

We just bought a 11506. I have a few questions
- One requirement we have is that I need to direct https web requests to the CSS public IP and then have it redirect that web request over tcp 80 to one of our internal web servers.
Do I need to purchase on SSL module for this ?
Can someone direct me to the support link for the 11506. Looking for setup and support docs.
Cheers
Dave

In order to do SSL offloading you need to buy SSL module CSS5-SSL-K9.

CSS software upgrade failed

Hi everyone,
My customer had a problem during upgrading CSS software from 7.50.303 to 8.10.602.
He executed upgrade but it was failed with the following message.
==========
CSS# upgrade "sg0810602.adi-gz"
CSS#
Current Version: sg0750303 OFFICIAL
*** You must remove an installed version to upgrade. ***
Cannot delete enough installed versions to allow the upgrade.
One cannot delete an image that is the currently running image,
or an image that is selected as the primary or secondary boot
image. You must de-select the primary or secondary image
in order to continue with this upgrade.
==========
There is no another information on the CSS but I have just the above message.
Have you experienced similar symptom? or Do you have any information why this is happened and/or how can resolve this problem?
Your information would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Shinichi

Hi Shinichi,
Can you please share the commands you have run for upgrading the CSS software.
Kindly tell how many versions are already installed on you CSS.
Use the version command to see the currently running software version.
To
a. List the ADIs on the CSS.
(config)# show installed-software
sg0720104
sg0730003
b. Access boot mode:
(config)# boot
(config-boot)#
c. Use the remove command to remove the ADI.
(config-boot)# remove sg0720104
If you are having two software version installed.
Kindly send me the output of the
(config)# show installed-software
Before you can upgrade your CSS, make sure you have enough space on the box to
complete the upgrade.
Because a hard-disk-based CSS can contain a maximum of four ArrowPoint Distribution
Images (ADIs). A Flash disk-based CSS (CSS 11150 or CSS 11800) can contain a
maximum of two ADIs. If the limit has been reached, you must remove one ADI
version before you can add a new version.
====================================
Before you can upgrade your CSS, you must copy the new CSS software to your FTP server and configure an FTP server record so the CSS recognizes the server. Use the show installed-software version-limit command to display the maximum number of installed versions allowed on your hard disk or Flash disk.
When upgrading the CSS software, you can use the upgrade script or manually enter CLI commands. The upgrade script allows you to upgrade the CSS either automatically or interactively by responding to script prompts.
Either way, the tasks that the script performs include:
•Checking to see how many installed software versions are installed on the CSS, and if the CSS contains the maximum number of installed software versions, then deleting an older software version.
•Archiving the running configuration to the startup configuration.
•Copying the new ADI to the CSS boot-image directory.
•Unpacking the new ADI.
•Copying the scripts and user profiles from the older CSS software to the new software. The copied scripts do not include Cisco-supplied scripts except default-profile.
•Setting the primary boot file to the new ADI.
•Rebooting the CSS.
We recommend that you use the upgrade script because the upgrade script ensures that the existing scripts and user profiles are copied to the new software.
When manually upgrading the CSS software, you must enter CLI commands to perform the same tasks that the upgrade script would perform.
You can run the upgrade script to perform the software upgrade without having to enter any information. The script automatically:
•Checks to see how many installed software versions are installed on the CSS. If the CSS contains the maximum number of installed software versions, the script deletes an older version.
Note The script does not prompt you to delete a version of software that you configured as the primary or secondary boot file. On a disk-based system, you may need to quit and then deselect the primary or secondary boot file before continuing with the upgrade.
•Archives the running configuration to the startup configuration.
•Copies the new ADI to the CSS boot-image directory.
•Unpacks the new ADI.
•Copies the scripts and user profiles from the older CSS software to the new software. The copied scripts do not include Cisco-supplied scripts except default-profile.
•Sets the primary boot file to the new ADI.
•Reboots the CSS.
Kindly Use the following URL for your reading if you have not gone through this:
http://ciscosystems.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11500series/v8.20/configuration/administration/guide/Upgrade.html
Please revert back with the answers of my question and I believe we will be able to resolve your problem.

CSS 11503 SSL Module: .pfx file export to sftp

Hello
I wanted to know of there was a way to export the .pfx files off of the SSL Module to an SFTP server.....preferably in bulk not one at a time. I want a central storage location for these files in the event that the CSS or the SSL module crashes.
Thanks

Hi Jay,
Sure you can export the .pfx files out of the CSS but you need to do this one by one, there is no way you can get them out all at once.
To export the files you first need to define your SFTP server IP address, username and passwd:
CSS(config)# ftp-record SFTP_Server 10.10.10.1 username "password"
Once you have the file name you need to enter this command:
CSS# copy ssl sftp SFTP_Server export Certificate.pfx PKCS12 "passphrase" "password"
: This is the password used to protect the file when it was created.
: This is a local significant password on the CSS used when the file was
imported into the box.
* If you don't know these passwds you can't export the files out of the CSS.

Route SIP REFER to SIP Trunk based on DN

Cisco UCM 9 is connected to a third-party PBX over SIP Trunk. Third-party PBX sends a SIP REFER message to Cisco UCM to call a DN on the third-party PBX. Cisco UCM responds with SIP 404 Not Found as it does not recognize the DN of the third-party PBX.
How do I configure Cisco Unified Communication Manager 9 to route this call back out over the SIP Trunk to the third-party PBX based on the DN (Not IP)?
Cisco UCM contains a route pattern 53xxx to route to SIP_Trunk_3rdParty.
Third-party PBX contains a SIP Proxy and Call Server. The call should route to the SIP Proxy IP. The SIP REFER contains "Refer-To" 53xxx@ThirdPartyCallServerIP
I added a SIP Route Pattern on CUCM to route calls for ThirdPartyCallServerIP to SIP_Trunk_3rdParty. This works in routing the call to ThirdPartyCallServerIP, however I need the call to route to 53xxx@ThirdPartySIPproxyIP for it to be successful.
Direct calls from CUCM to ThirdParty PBX 53XXX@ThirdPartySIPproxyIP are successful. SIP REFER coming into CUCM to request CUCM to call ThirdParty fail.
Any ideas on what configuration on CUCM I could try to get CUCM to route the call to thrid-party based on the SIP REFER?

Thanks for the reply Vivek.
Partitions:
- ThirdPartyPBX
- CiscoEndpoints
Calling Search Space: "ThirdParty_Cisco" contain both of the above partitions.
Route Pattern 531XX and 80965 are assigned to Route Partition "ThirdPartyPBX"
Cisco UCM Main site phones are in CSS "ThirdParty_Cisco" and DN is in Route Partition "CiscoEndpoints". DN is in CSS "ThirdParty_Cisco".
Trunk "SIP_Trunk_3rdParty" - Inbound and Outbound Calls are in CSS "ThirdParty_Cisco".
Trunk SIP information has "Rerouting CSS", "Out-of-Dialog Refer CSS", and Subscribe CSS as "ThirdParty_Cisco".
Cisco continues to respond to with SIP 404 not found. CUCM does not seem to match the SIP refer to the CSS or Route partition with with 531XX route pattern.
The SIP Refer is coming from DN 80965 over the SIP Trunk from the Third-party PBX.
Perhaps I'm missing something in my CSS config?
Any other method for CUCM to match SIP Refer to a Route Pattern?

Problem accessing VIP via HTTP from service servers

I thought I had a pretty simple config on my CSS11501- but have run into an issue I'm having trouble resolving.
I have two unix webservers (IPs are .99 and .100) on ports e1 and e2, and my uplink for the CSS is on port e8.
The CSS has a VIP address (.105) that load balances HTTP requests to .99 and .100.
From .99 and .100 I can ping the VIP address - and from outside the CSS - almost everything works great for the site I'm hosting on .105.
I do have two web pages however that attempt to make calls directly to the VIP address - I noticed I can't load those pages.
Nor can I just browse the website on the VIP address from either of the servers. The webservers can browse their own pages via IP, and each other's pages via IP.
Just not pages on the VIP.
I think it may be a case of the servers thinking that IP spoofing is occurring - or maybe I missed something simple in the config.
Here's what I see in a 'show flows' when I try and browse the VIp address (.105) from the .100 server.
Src Address SPort Dst Address DPort NAT Dst Address Prt InPort OutPort
65.207.212.100 53758 65.207.212.105 80 65.207.212.100 TCP e2 e2
65.207.212.100 80 65.207.212.100 53758 65.207.212.100 TCP e2 e2
Since it appears that the CSS NATs the request to the same IP the server is using, will the reply from the server ever make it back to the CSS?
Or does it think that it shouldn't need to reply - becauuse it is that IP?
Should I be able to browse the VIP site from the webservers.
Below is the full CSS config if someone can help me figure this out.
Thanks in advnace for any and all help.

Paul,
simple config and well-know basic mistake :-)
If a server tries to access the vip, the css will forward the request to the same server or the other one.
Both ways, the response from the server will go directly to the client-server, bypassing the CSS.
For this to work, you need to do client nat so the server making the HTTP connection appears to be coming from the CSS.
Create a group like this
group servernat
vip addr 65.207.212.105
active
and add the following to your acl
clause 5 permit any 65.207.212.99 destination content www/rule1 sourcegroup servernet
Do a similar clause for the 2nd server.
re-apply the acl.
Everything should work now.
Gilles.
Thanks for rating.

Hi,
Yes, essbase could help make your reports faster, but it depends also on the cube design. Essbase allows you to calculate all the upper levels and store it. This is (2+2=4), essbase stores 2 and 2 and 4 so then you can go and read the total with the report without having to calculate it wihle the user is retreiving the data. This is a good advantage of essbase.
About #2, no one can tell you if you should or should not use Informatica as that depends on each company. You can use OBIEE with Essbase and you will need a place to store the data that Essbase will then pull up. It could be any DB you want...
Hope this helps.
