Customer firewalls in a data center
Hello there,
I am currently planning a small data centre design around the standard access, distribution and core model.
Servers will be racked in standard rack ranges accompanied with a layer 2 switch per rack row. These will connect to a redundant pair of layer 3 switches in order to do interVLAN routing. This will point to two redundant firewalls that will in turn point to a pair of routers.
We offer two types of firewall, shared firewall which we allocate the customer access lists on our own in house firewall, or dedicated where the customer can order a firewall and get it racked for their servers to sit behind.
My question is if one of our customers purchases say a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall for use of their servers, how would this be implemented in the design? It would have to skip the hop of our in house firewall and be able to hit the router.
I considered getting a routed port at the distribution layer switch to go straight to the router and pointing the customer's firewall default route towards this.
The only problem is that the outside interface of the customer's firewall will have an external IP, whereas the routed port on the L3 switch would be internal, would I just have to make this external so it can flow through to the router?
Would this also cause bandwidth issues as more customers who buy firewalls are tunnelling this one route out to the router.
Or is there a much better way of doing this?
Any advice is much appreciated
Hi,
Do your customers need to communicated with each other?
Do your customers need to have access to Internet.
To what device your Internet connection will be attached to?
If the customers don't need to communicate with each other, you can get a larger firewall and use VRF lite on the switches/routers and firewall context to separate each customer.
Here is good document to look at:

CO-PA has all the information you need...
Profitability Analysis is that part of CO where operations will access its performance factors and profitability statements contain margins, standard cost variance, sales information, allocations and other related profit or loss data. This module helps analyze profitability of customers, markets and products at various levels of contribution margins. Profitability is measured down to the SD billing document line and is adjusted periodically against standard costs and other costs.
It has 2 methods of approach :
Costing based Profitability Analysis - This is primarily designed to let you analyze profits quickly for the purpose of sales management.
Account based Profitabilty Analysis - This type of Profitability Analysis enables you to reconcile cost and financial accounting at any time using accounts.

URGENT: QoS Design on Data Center MPLS - MediaNet Question...
Hello,
I am posting this in hopes I can get some guidance from anyone who has done this in the field. We have a large enterprise customer with 21 sites all around the world, they have Verizon MPLS and are experiencing QoS related issues on their WAN regarding Video/Voice. We have proposed remediating their network acccording to the Enterprise QoS SRND 3.3 and the new MediaNet SRND to account for Video and TP QoS (
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/WAN_and_MAN/QoS_SRND_40/QoSCampus_40.html )
Here is the problem/question that was proposed in our presales meeting and I honestly don't know where to look for an answer... I am not asking for anyone to design a solution for me, just merely point me in the right direction:
The Data Center has a ~40MB MPLS Connection ( full mesh ) into the cloud ( Verizon )
Site A has a 8MB connection
Site B has a 4MB connection
I know on the Service policy and the interfaces at SiteA and SiteB I can assign "Bandwidth xxxx" and use ~95% of the bandwidth to do queuing and shaping/policing ect. I am not concerned with SiteA and SiteB, that I think I can handle...
Question was posed from the customer, "How can we ensure at the DataCenter level the 40MB MPLS is "chopped" up so that only 8MB of the total speed goes to SiteA ALONG with an attached QoS policy designed for that specific site, as well as ensure only 4MB goes to SiteB with an attached QoS policy.
So I am looking for a way to allocate bandwith per site on the DC 40MB connection going into the cloud ( so that SiteB cannot use more than 4MB ) and attach a MediaNet specific QoS Service policy to that site. The customer does not have seperate MPLS circuits for each site, they all come into the DC on 40MB shared ethernet connection ( no VC, or dedicated circuits to other sites ).
Any thoughts on if this is possible?
Thanks!
AlexThis is an example I have seen and I hope that is useful to you.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can correct this or improve it as I am still learning.

Ask the Expert: Data Center Integrated Systems and Solutions
Welcome to this Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about utilizing Cisco data center technology and solutions with subject matter expert Ramses Smeyers. Additionally, Ramses will answer questions about FlexPOD, vBlock, Unified Computing Systems, Nexus 2000/5000, SAP HANA, and VDI.
Ramses Smeyers is a technical leader in Cisco Technical Services, where he works in the Datacenter Solutions support team. His main job consists of supporting customers to implement and manage Cisco UCS, FlexPod, vBlock, VDI, and VXI infrastructures. He has a very strong background in computing, networking, and storage and has 10+ years of experience deploying enterprise and service provider data center solutions. Relevant certifications include VMware VCDX, Cisco CCIE Voice, CCIE Data Center, and RHCE.
Remember to use the rating system to let Ramses know if you have received an adequate response.
Because of the volume expected during this event, Ramses might not be able to answer every question. Remember that you can continue the conversation in the Data Center Community, under the subcommunity Unified Computing, shortly after the event. This event lasts through August 1, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other Cisco Support Community members.Hi Ramses,
I have dozen questions but will try to restrain myself and start with the most important ones :)
1. Can cables between IOM and FI be configured in a port-channel? Let me clarify what I"m trying to achieve: if I have only one chassis with only one B200M3 blade inside, will the 2208 IOM and FI6296 allow me to achieve more than 10Gbps throughput between the blade and the Nexus 5k? Of course, we are talking here about clean ethernet environment.
B200M3 --- IOM2208 --- 4 links --- FI6296 --- port-channel (4 links) --- Nexus5548
2. Is it possible to view/measure throughput for Fibre Channel interfaces?
3. Here is one about FlexPod: I know that in case of vBlock there is the company that delivers fully preconfigured system and offers one universal support point so customer don't have to call Cisco or VMware or storage supports separately. What I don't know is how it works for FlexPod. Before you answer that you are not sales guy, let me ask you more technical questions: Is FlexPod Cisco product or is NetApp product or this is just a concept developed by two companies that should be embraced by various Cisco/NetApp partners? As you obviously support Datacenter solutions, if customer/partner calls you with are FlexPod related problem, does it matter for you, from support side, if you are troubleshooting fully compliant FlexPod system or you'll provide same level of support even is the system is customized (not 100% FlexPod environment)?
4. When talking about vCenter, can you share your opinion about following: what is the most important reason to create the cluster and what will be the most important limitation?
5. I know that NetApp has feature called Rapid Clones that allows faster cloning than what vCenter offers. Any chance you can compare the two? I remember that NetApp option should be much faster but didn't understand what is actually happening during the cloning process and I'm hoping you can clarify this? Maybe a quick hint here: seems to me it will be helpful if I could understand the traffic path that is used in each case. Also, it will be nice to know if Vblock (i.e. EMC) offers similar feature and how it is called.
6. Can I connect Nexus 2000 to the FI6xxx?
7. Is vBlock utilizing Fabric Failover? Seems to me not and would like to hear your opinion why.
Thanks for providing us this opportunity to talk about this great topic.
Regards,

Link Load balancing - Data center query
Dear all,
I have a query on link load balancing. My scenario goes like this. The customer has taken web hosting services from two data centers. When an user who is accessing the servcies available in primary data center gets disconnected due to say link failure. Then the services should be available continuosly from the secondary data center. All the services provided by the primary data center should be available now from the secondary data center without any down time. What device i should go for, for doing this link load balancing. After searching a lot in the web, i found this Cisco Global site selector which does the link load balancing between data centers. I want to know whether i have ended up with the right choice? Plz give your valuable suggestions for the correct device i should use for load balancing multiple data center.That product can be quite good, I believe another company called F5 also makes good stuff in that arena... However, you have to remember that alot of this depends on what application you are doing on these servers. If you're running a service that only hosts static web pages, that's no problem. But, if you're going to be doing ecommerce where it needs to save the users "state" between page loads and such, that gets much more complex and you need to choose the right server software, such as Coldfusion or PHP or whatever to accomodate this too...

We have a need to correct affinity of Cloud Service, Azure DB, Storage and Mobile Services such that they are on a singl datacenter and do not get impacted by network latency when these components communicate with each other. Also to distribute various environments
across different data centers we need to realign some environments to mitigate all environments getting impacted if there is outage.
Existing Cloud Services and related Service Bus queues and topics need to be moved to a different datacenter. Is there a way to do this without having to redeploy cloud services (web and worker roles) or recreate the service bus entities (queues and topics)?
Also, the existing Cloud Service URL need to be retained without with user authentication won't be possible and hence when completed, the new cloud service should have the same URL.
Please provide best available options for achieving this or ask question if more information is needed.Hi sumeetd,
As far as I know, currently there is no directly way to move services from one data center to another unless redeployment. You could submit a feature suggestion via this page (http://feedback.azure.com/forums/34192--general-feedback
). And at the same time,you could contact with azure support team via the channel below:

can you suggest me which pool we use for data center public or private,which is best one
You will encounter conflicts ONLY if you are connecting to a network that is using your same address space. See more below.
The private IP addresses that you assign for a private network (inter-office LAN, Internet Service Provider customer bases, campus networks, etc) should fall within the following three blocks of the IP address space:
10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.255, which provides a single Class A network of addresses, which would use subnet mask 255.0.0.0.
(theoretically up to 16,777,215 addresses, good for VERY large enterprises like internet service providers or other global deployment)
172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254, which provides 16 contiguous Class B network addresses, which would use subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
(theoretically up to 1,048,576 addresses, good for large enterprises like colleges and governmental organizations)
192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254, which provides up to 2^16 Class C network addresses, which would use subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
(theoretically up to 65,536 addresses, widely used by default in consumer/retail networking equipment)
Explanation of Subnet masks, Network classes, and other technical info is readily available on the internet. -

I have a question...
I going to install two Nexus 7009 with three N7K-F248XP-25 modules on each one, I am planning to create 3 VDC, but at the initial configuration the system does not show the ethernets ports of these modules, even with the show inventory and show module I can see tah the modules are recognized and its status is OK. There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...? -

Deploying Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) in Data Center Networks
Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about how to plan, design, and implement Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) in your Data Center Network with Cisco experts Anees Mohamed Abdulla and Pranav Doshi.
Anees Mohamed Abdulla is a network consulting engineer for Cisco Advanced Services, where he has been delivering plan, design, and implementation services for enterprise-class data center networks with leading technologies such as vPC, FabricPath, and OTV. He has 10 years of experience in the enterprise data center networking area and has carried various roles within Cisco such as LAN switching content engineer and LAN switching TAC engineer. He holds a bachelor's degree in electronics and communications and has a CCIE certification 18764 in routing and switching.
Pranav Doshi is a network consulting engineer for Cisco Advanced Services, where he has been delivering plan, design, and implementation services for enterprise-class data center networks with leading technologies such as vPC, FabricPath, and OTV. Pranav has experience in the enterprise data center networking area and has carried various roles within Cisco such as LAN switching TAC engineer and now network consulting engineer. He holds a bachelor's degree in electronics and communications and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California.
Remember to use the rating system to let Anees and Pranav know if you have received an adequate response.
Because of the volume expected during this event, Anees and Pranav might not be able to answer each question. Remember that you can continue the conversation on the Data Center, sub-community forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through August 23, 2013. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other Cisco Support Community members.Hi Dennis,
All those Layer 2 extension technologies require STP to be extended between Data Centers if you need to have multiple paths between Data Centers. OTV does not extend STP rather it has its own mechanism (AED election) to avoid loop when multiple paths are enabled. It means any STP control plane issue, we don't carry to the other Data Center.
OTV natively suppresses Unknown Unicast Flooding across the OTV overlay. Unknown unicast flooding is a painful problem in layer 2 network and difficult to troubleshoot to identify the root cause if you don't have proper network monitoring tool.
It has ARP optimization which eliminates flooding ARP packets across Data Center by responding locally with cached ARP messages. One of the common issues I have seen in Data Center is some server or device in the network sends continuous ARP packets which hits Control plane in the Aggregation layer which in turn causes network connectivity issue.
The above three points proves the Layer 2 domain isolation between data centers. If you have redundant Data Centers with Layer 2 extended without OTV, the above explained layer 2 issue which happens in one Data Center carries the same failure to the second data center which creates the question of what is the point of having two different Data Centers if we can not isolate the failure domain.
OTV natively supports HSRP localization with few command lines. This is a very important requirement in building Active/Active Data Center.
Even though your question is related to L2TP, OTV deserves the comparison with VPLS and those comparison will also be applicable for L2TP. The below link explains in detail...
