H-REAP and Client Load-Balancing
I'm told by Cisco that H-REAP does not support client load-balancing.
We have a situation where we want to deploy LWAPPs using H-REAP into a conference room where training would take place.
Any suggestions on how to overcome the inevitable slowness these people are going to experience from being unevenly associated with the APs?
We can't re-write the application so we are looking for a wireless solution.
Anyone hear about how other organizations have dealt with this type of situation?
I'll be glad to supply more details if I am not being clear in my description of the problem.
Thanks in advance. All responses will be rated.

This is the functionality which is missing in H-REAP: Client and Network Load Balancing
"Radio Resource Management (RRM) load-balances new clients across grouped lightweight access points reporting to each controller. This function is particularly important when many clients converge in one spot (such as a conference room or auditorium) because RRM can automatically force some subscribers to associate with nearby access points, allowing higher throughput for all clients. The controller provides a centralized view of client loads on all access points. This information can be used to influence where new clients attach to the network or to direct existing clients to new access points to improve wireless LAN performance. The result is an even distribution of capacity across an entire wireless network.
Note: Client load balancing works only for a single controller. It is not operate in a multi-controller environment."
I suppose if we limit the number of users that can associate with a particular AP then we will achieve some client load-balancing. Though a hard limit on the number of end-users will also lead to situations where some end users will not be allowed any access.

Extend TCP Proxy vs. Client load balancing
I am unclear how proxy and client load balancing interact with respect to custom address providers. If I define my own address provider, and I do NOT set the load-balancer parameter to client in the client configuration, will the proxy still do load balancing of connections as described in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24290_01/coh.371/e22839/gs_configextend.htm#BEBCICDA ?
Edited by: user5179040 on Mar 23, 2012 9:43 AMHi,
The <load-balancer> element is only configured in the <proxy-scheme> and not at the client side. This parameter "proxy" dictates the proxy to use the specified strategy for load balancing client connections across proxies. The parameter "client" offloads the responsibility of load balancing to client across proxies or randomly select proxies.

Hi,
I am configuring 2 ASA5540 for internet trafic inside to outside ,
outside to inside (web,smtp) but also vpn load balancing for client to site , site to site and webvpn.
In the doc I can configure them for internet trafic as Active/Standby or Active/active.
for vpn : I can use vpn load balancing
But no information if I want to use the active/passif and vpn load balancing together.
Any thoughts on which way to go? what is the best thing to do ?
RegardsHi,
I think that you cannot use an Active/Active configuration for VPN connections as it is stated on Cisco's documentation: "Note: VPN failover is not supported on units that run in multiple context mode as VPN is not supported in multiple context. VPN failover is available only for Active/Standby Failover configurations in single context configurations" available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a0080834058.shtml

WLC 7.5.102.0 Client Load Balancing
Hi,
Regarding 'Client Load Balancing' feature in WLC code 7.5.102.0, which one will take precedence:
- Load Balancing enabled in RF Profile and applied in an AP Group.
- Load Balancing enabled in WLAN
Also, is there any way to determine the statistics of the Load Balancing in RF Profile? (similar to the Statistics for Client Load Balancing enabled per WLAN in Wireless> Advanced > Load Balancing > Load Balancing Statistics)
Thanks in advance!
- edisonRF Profiles overrides any global settings, just like AP Groups can override the vlan or interface mappings.
say for example, I want to leverage the RF Profile for highly dense deploytment (like Town Hall or influx of users) and as result i want to deploy more temp APs that will coexist my existing APs. I just want to modify the High Density parameter - limiting the max clients only. but the RF Profile comes with the Load Balancing too and i don't think it cannot be disabled separately.
> Load balacing is enabled on the WLAN and isn't in the RF Profile. High Desnity, you create a RF Profile to disable the lower data rates, maybe 54 and 36 as mandatory and 24 and or 48 supported... depends on how much you want to shrink your cells. Also setting the max and min TX power.... no need for load balancing if you shrink the cells down.
so when i apply the RF Profile to the AP Group, the profile's Load Balancing settings will also be applied together with my preferred High Density settings - while my WLAN settting is not enabled with Load Balancing.
> No.... you either enable load balancing on the WLAN or not. The screen shot I showed you is a threshold configuration if its enabled.
Thanks,
Scott

Client Load balancing in AS with RAC
Friends,
1. Is an application servers cluster supports client load balancing.
If not....
2. if RAC is configured with appplication servers:
client -> appl sever -> rac_node -> shared database
is there a possibility to configure CLIENT load balancing with the aid of any of the above
components (or smth else that i missed) i.e. avoid using hardware client load balancing
or third party software client load balancing???
Thanks much for help.Hi, I have the same question.
I am using RAC (11.1.0.7) and would like to load balance two application servers in the same way, for apache, forms and reports using 10.2.0.4 iAS FAR.
If I could load balance the apache connection, I'm sure it would be simple from there, again, I only have software load balancing available.
Could you point me to a doco?
Thank you very much. -

CSS on multiple subnets and separate load balancing
Hello,
I've a situation where I need to load balance incoming clients on subnet A to 3 real servers on subnet B - no problems there.
But I also need to load balance different clients on subnet C to 3 other servers on subnet D and clients on subnet E to 2 servers on subnet F.
Basically I want to use the CSS for 3 different load balancing operations.
Rather than using 3 separate CSS11503s can I do all this with multiple VLANs on the LAN switches and 1 CSS?
Any help appreciated
Regards Tonyyou can have as many vlan as you want.
So yes you can do what you want.
Just be aware that the CSS can route as well between those vlans, so if you separation between them you may have to use ACL.

New ASA5512- 5515: content filter and WAN load balancing
Hi,
it's possible to make the content filter with the new models of asa?
One of our customers would like to have content filter with the possibiliy to monitor the single client activity (log).
It' s possible also make the load balancing between 2 WAN?
Now in HQ they have 2 WAN with WAN backup (ASA5505) and VPN to another site.
Thanks in advance,
Paolo.I saw that you can add CX feature:
CX - Context Aware Security Feature:
Cisco ASA CX Context-Aware Security is a modular security service that extends the ASA platform with next-generation capabilities. It is available with SSD purchase for model such as 5512-X, 5515-X, 5525-X, 55545-X and 5555-X.
Application Visibility Control (AVC):
This is additional feature in CX. Activation of this feature require seperate license. This is the feature that do deep packet inspection for Application recognition. provide context-aware firewall security.
Web Security Essentials (WSE):
This is additional feature in CX. Activation of this feature require seperate license. It deliver features like "URL Filtering" and "Global Threat Intelligence".
Can somebody confirm that?
Have somebody already used and configured this features?
Thank you,

Hi all,
a short question.
Is there a feature in Cisco WLC like load-balancing based on bandwidth utilization?
What I mean is, one AP (channel6) has a channel utilization of 40%, the neighbor AP (channel 11) has a channel utilization of 10%.
So I would like push new clients automatically to the AP in channel 11.
many thanks
MartinIt doesnt work worth a crap anyway ... Most clients don't adhere to code 17 so what's the point ...
Aggressive load-balancing works at the association phase. If enabled and the conditions to load-balance are met, when a wireless client attempts to associate to a LAP, association response frames are sent to the client with an 802.11 response packet that includes status code 17. This code indicates that the AP is too busy to accept any more associations.
It is the responsibility of the client to honor, process or discard that association response frame with reason code 17. Some clients ignore it, even though it is part of the 802.11 specification. The standard dictates that the client driver must look for another AP to connect to since it receives a "busy" message from the first AP it tries. Many clients do not do this and send the association request again. The client in question is allowed on to the wireless network upon subsequent attempts to associate. -
WLS 5.1 JMS and Message load balancing
Would I be right in thinking that WLS 5.1 offers no out of the box component that distributes incoming messages over a series of JMS Destinations? (much like a distributed destination would do in WLS 8.1?)
Is it BEA's recommendation then that any JMS Client sending to these JMS destinations pick's up the responsibility for carrying out load balancing?
regards

Application dependent.
For example, you could set up an EJB that enqueues to the local queue - where the local queue's name is inferred from the server the EJB is running on.
Load balancing (and fail-over) would then be accomplished by invoking the EJB and depending on standard EJB features...

Question about FCF and Oracle load Balance

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = ptt-pt-ildb-02-vip)(PORT = 1521))
(LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
(CONNECT_DATA =

(DELAY = 5)
-- service goal is SERVICE_TIME and CLB_GOAL is LONG
-- ons.config
localport=6101
remoteport=6200

I was trying some test as the link below.
http://drdobbs.com/java/222700353?pgno=1
but my client is always trying to connect to instance 2 even the sys.sys$service_metrics_tab already showed the instance 1 can take on more load.
Total held connections: 9
[0] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[1] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[2] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[3] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[4] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[5] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[6] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[7] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
[8] Instance name [TZNTEST2]
(CATEST_FCF, VERSION=1.0 database=CATEST service=CATEST_FCF { {instance=CATEST1 percent=88 flag=GOOD}{instance=CATEST2 percent=12 flag=GOOD} } timestamp=2011-04-12 11:59:36)
am I correct here? the percent for CATEST1 is 88. Does it mean CATEST1 is able to take on 88% more load, so it is more attractive now?
and why the connections always fell on CATEST2? How does oracle calculate the number of connections to each instance. Does it count inactive or killed session too? does it offer the load balance stats based on total number of connections on each instance or total number of connections just to this serivce on each instance?I don't know if this helps, but there is a reply comment from
Macromedia at the bottom of the MX 6 LiveDocs for tag
cfprocparam
which was in response to a comment pointing out that calling
overloaded stored procedures containing refcursors did not work. (I
submitted a similar question to Adobe last night in the MX 7
version of LiveDocs for cfprocparam and am waiting for it to post.)
Macromedia jrunrandy said on Jun 30, 2005 at 9:45 AM :
I checked and regret to say that this isn't supported. There
is a bug for this issue,
53122, but it hasn't been addressed as of CFMX 7.
I think that this is going to be as official of a response
from Macromedia/Adobe as you are going to get unless you open a
trouble report yourself. I hope that this is enough to satisfy the
requirements of your DBA. Otherwise, you are probably going to have
to shell out the cash for an official trouble report to Adobe
(unless you have paid support).

Hi,
I have CSS in single arm deployment model. I have multiple servers load balancing on this CSS on port 80 etc. Today I am trying to load balance one Oracle server but I am facing problem with it.
Real servers are accessible on port 80 without any problem but when we are trying to access the same servers on VIP we are not able to see the web page.
real server http://192.168.17.12/irs.htm
real server http://192.168.17.14/irs.htm
real server http://192.168.10.37/irs.htm
VIP
http://192.168.200.58/irs.htm
Below is the configuration. I can do the telnet on port 80 and I can ping the VIP IP address.
I will only put 192.168.200.58 in browser I can see the oracle page but with the full URL i am not able to see it.
Though I have other oracle servers which I have load balance with the same configuration and I can access the web page.

Wireless clients load balancing on the APs on WLC 4404
Hi Experts,
I'm just wondering if the WLC 4404 with firmware 4.2.207.0 can load balance the wireless clients on different WAPs. Let's say that an AP is already handling 15 Wireless devices. When the 16th is trying to join, the controller somehow puts it on another nearby AP, even the signal from this AP is weaker. I heard the similar feature on other Wireless solution vendors. I'm just wondering if Cisco has the similar feature or not.
Thanks!Yes it is known as aggressive load balancing sending a code 17 making the wireless client to loook at another nearby AP.
here it is the documentation:

Web dispatcher and J2EE load balancing
I have portal DBCI on one server and DI on multiple servers. I implemented Web dispatcher in front of the DI and it does the load balancing across all DI and CI. What I want to do though is not to route any users to CI instance - ie take CI server processes out of load balancing.
In ABAP environment you could create a logon group and not put CI in the group and users coming through the logon group do not go to the CI. I would like to do the same with Portal Java processes. In help.sap.com I found that web dispatcher uses default !J2EE group if there are no groups defined - to distribute users but I can not find anyway to define a logon group for J2EE java.
Does anybody out there know how to do this - define a logon group and include only DI and not CI in that?> Raj,

We are using NW 04 based EP 6 SP 16. I am looking for to use web dispatcher to distribute users on the DI servers and not distribute any users on the CI server. What can I do so that if admin user enter http://CI_server:50000/irj then they can login to the CI server if users come through webdispatcher then they are not put on the CI but go to one of the DI servers only. By default web dispatcher would send some users to CI and I don't want that. -
Lync 2010 and ACE load balancing
Hi there,
Has anyone deployed [or will be deploying] Lync 2010 utilising the ACE as a hardware load balancer. The ACE is not {yet] on the Microsoft list of supported devices for this product, but I am told this because of lack of documentation from Cisco.
The consensus from a few colleagues is that it should work as it did for OCS, which we have already deployed, so assuming that the set up and operation is similar, there shouldn't be much difference in the configurations.
