High Connections within Ace 4710
Is this normal to have millions of current connections within an ace 4710? There is only 3 current connections but shows a high number?
Thanks!!

ACE 4710 - show stats connection questions
Hi,
I have three questions regarding the "show stats connection" command in the ACE 4710:
1. What is the criteria for a connection to be added to the "Total Connections Failed" counter?
2. What is the criteria for a connection to be added to the "Total Connections Timed-out" counter?
3. Is there a command to get more information why the connection was failed or timed-out (e.g. to/from which IP, url accessed etc.)?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
HarryHarry,
a connection failed if the server did not respond or resonded with a RST.
As long as the connection gets establised, it is counted as a success.
The connection timeout counter is incremented when the connection is idle for the configured timeout value or for L7 connections if it does not complete the 3-way handshale within the embryonic timeout interval.
Since this is clear why those counters are incrementing, the only way to get more information is to capture a sniffer trace to verify if the conditions above are met.

ACE 4710 Connectivity help?
I'm using an ACE 4710 in a new datacenter, with the following setup:
2/4 physical ethernet interfaces port channeled into port-channel 1
2/4 physical ethernet interfaces port channeled into port-channel 2
I have the following vlans defined:
1001 - admin - interface ip: 10.53.136.70
400 - client side - interface ip: 10.53.136.100
500 - server side - interface ip: 192.168.128.1
999 - fault tolerance - interface ip: 192.168.11.2
My problem is I am trying to nat ssh and web server traffic from the client side, to the server side, but it's never getting to the server. For example, if I ssh to 10.53.136.102, it times out. (10.53.136.102 should get nat'd to 192.168.128.2)
Also, I can connect to the ACE 4710 via telnet using 10.53.136.70, but cannot connect to 10.53.136.100.
I'm thinking there is either something wrong with the port-channels, or the access lists. On the other hand there could be something wrong with the nat'ing, but I had it working before switching over to the port-channels.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
BrentI've attached the two contexts which we are using. The admin context is new_lb_config.txt and the second context where the loadbalancing occurs is in the new_lb_config_VC_WBPX.txt file.
From the load balancer, I am able to ping the real server ips in the 192.168. ip range. The 4710 recognizes that they are in service.
I believe the ACL for the VLAN 400 is set to permit all traffic, but I don't know if the service policies are preventing something from happening.
Right now, I have disconnected the two 4710s and I am only working on one of them to see if I can get the basic connectivity going. Once I accomplish that, I will work on high availability. I'll have to check whether it thinks it is in passive mode...not entirely sure how to do that, but I will check it out.
Thanks,

ACE 4710 Can not confirm http cookie sticky connections
We are using a ACE 4710 with A3(2.6) software release.
I had to change our sticky load balancing method for HTTPS to cookie based.
However while connections appear to work if I look at the sho sticky database table I can not see or confirm sticky entries for the cookie based connections.
Here or config snippets to show the config
sticky http-cookie ghh-www scook-ghh
cookie insert browser-expire
serverfarm ghh-www-443
class-map match-all ghh-www-443_CLASS
2 match virtual-address 172.16.1.21 tcp eq https

policy-map multi-match POLICY
class ghh-www-443_CLASS
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy ghh-sticky-443_POLICY
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
appl-parameter http advanced-options CASE_PARAMAnother point: please check whether your servers are listening only for HTTPS traffic or also for HTTP traffic:
in the first case the ACE will have to: decrypt the traffic from the client, inspect the http header to take the loadbalance decision and then re-encrypt it and send it to the server
in the second case the ACE would have to: decrypt the traffic from the client, inspect the http header to take the loadbalance decision and send it out as it is unencrypted to the server
the second solution would have the benefit of being easier to configure and to require less resoucerces both on the ACE (only decryption to be performed) and on the servers (no need for SSL operations at all there) but it might be that your company or business sector have requirements for which this traffic should never flow unencrypted, in which case you would have to go for the first solution.
Here you have a config example for the first solution:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/modules/ps2706/products_configuration_example09186a00809c6f37.shtml
I would not expect you to have to pay extra for importing the cert and kepair into the ace, it would be just a copy, however as Alex said that may still depend on the license agreement with the CA.

Troubleshooting connections through a ACE 4710
Hello we are trying to resolve a connection issue with our load balancer. I am not very familiar with it, the 4710 was configured by a contractor who now is gone. I can see connections being accepted by the LB by doing the show serverfarm BLAH but I cannot see any specific IP info.
So there is a nat-pool configured to source the connections from the 4710 to the rservers. On the rservers I see connections coming in from these NAT addresses.
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:10.237.147.82:4642 ::ffff:10.237.147.231:1042 ESTABLISHED
This is netstat output on one of the rservers. So now what I want to see is what outside source IP has been NATed to 10.237.147.231 address.
Can someone help me with what command is used to show NAT entries on the 4710s?
Thank You
~ PhilHi Phil,
You could use "show conn address netmask " to check connection details for any specific ip..for nat try "
sh xlate"

ACE 4710: Possible to allow a user to clear counters but nothing else?
Hello all,
Using an ACE 4710 we have a user setup with the Network-Monitor role which allows the user to view config, interface status, etc. We would also like to allow this user to clear the interface error counters as well, but nothing else. Is this possible?
Thanks!Hello Brandon-
Network-Monitor only lets you browse outputs, it is a not a role that allows a user to make any changes including clearing stats. You can create custom roles and domains to get closer to what you want, but you cannot zero in on a single command like that.
i.e.
ACE# conif t
ACE(config)# role MyRole
ACE(config-role)# rule 1 permit modify feature ?
AAA AAA related commands
access-list ACL related commands
connection TCP/UDP related commands
fault-tolerant Fault tolerance related commands
inspect Appln inspection related commands
interface Interface related commands
loadbalance Loadbalancing policy and class commands
pki PKI related commands
probe Health probe related commands
rserver Real server related commands
serverfarm Serverfarm related commands
ssl SSL related commands
sticky Sticky related commands
vip Virtual server related commands
You can create a permit or deny rule, within that, create/debug/modify/monitor each feature seperately.
Domains allow you to create containers for objects. You can place specific rservers, serverfarms, etc. into it - then apply it to a role so that the user assigned to it can only touch those objects.

I testing the 4710 for load balancing between 2 web servers. I have the http portion working just fine but would like to get some input on the SSL portion.
We have a section of our site that requires user login and the whole session is https from when they login and when they are browsing through our site.
My questions are within the design aspects. Would this best be designed using SSL offloading and then using clear text from the ACE to the web servers? Also, what would the differences be with configuring ssl offloading with stickiness if configured with http server load balancing on the same server farm versus creating a new server farm just for https? Would end-to-end ssl be best in this scenario?
Description of the web application usage:
Users log in and their whole session is https. Users will be filling out forms, inputting data, registering for events and uploading some files.Okay so that makes sense to me now. When the client requests an HTTPS page and the ACE terminates the connection, the ACE uses SSL rewrite/redirect to send the request back to the client so that the client still maintains the SSL connection. Otherwise it will request an HTTP page instead of the HTTPS page.
Am I correct? -
ACE 4710 - Gracefully Shutting Down a Server
Hi,
Recently I had to stop an RServer to allow for software upgrades. I entered a no inservice command in the rserver config and all the connections on the serverfarm disappeared. I thought the no inservice should allow existing connections to finish. Is there another way of taking a server out of service?
We are running on an ACE 4710 version A3(2.5). We offload SSL on the ACE and use sticky connections using cookie insert
Thanks for your helpHi,
To gracefully shutdown use the "no inservice" on the rserver within the serverfarm rather than on the rserver definition.

Rservers initiated traffic not sourcing the traffic as VIP in Ace 4710
One of the feature of our application is that our Application Server initiate text message to our devices sourcing from UDP 1120 and device need to see the message come from a specific pubic IP (2.2.2.2) with UDP port 1120 and reply back with the same Public IP (2.2.2.2) with UDP port 1120.The problem is we can make that happen if we have only one server in our ACE Serverfarm when we do a SNAT the real servers with the VIP address (10.1.246.32) but it does not work when we have more than one server in the Serverfarm. Since we have 2 servers, i cannot nat the real servers with the VIP address, if I do a PAT, obviously it is changing the source port of the request.
Note: This setup is working fine with the Cisco Content Switch module running on chasis 6509. When I sniff the traffic initiated from the server coming the CSM load balancer, it is sourcing the traffic as the VIP and the source port remains the same by default but this is not the case with ACE 4710

portmap disable in ACE 4710
Disabling Port Mapping
By default, the CSS NATs source IP addresses and PATs source ports for a configured source group. If you configure the portmap disablecommand in a source group, the CSS performs NAT on the source IP addresses but does not perform PAT on the source ports of UDP traffic that matches on that source group.
For UDP applications with high-numbered assigned ports (for example, SIP and WAP), we recommend that you preserve those port numbers by configuring destination services in source groups instead of using the portmap disable command. Destination services cause the CSS to NAT the client source ports, but not the destination ports. For information about configuring destination services, -
Need help to Configure Cisco ACE 4710 Cluster Deployment
Dear Experts,
I'm newbie for Cisco ACE 4710, and still I'm in learning stage. Meanwhile I got chance at my work place to deploy a Cisco ACE 4710 cluster which should load balance the traffic between two Application Servers based on HTTP and HTTPS traffic. So I was looking for good deployment guide in Cisco SBA knowledge base then finall found this guide.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/SBA/February2013/Cisco_SBA_DC_AdvancedServer-LoadBalancingDeploymentGuide-Feb2013.pdf
This guide totally fine with my required deployment model. I have same deployment environment as this guide contains with ACE cluster that connects to two Cisco 3750X (Stack) switches. But I have some confusion places in this guide
This guide follow the "One-armed mode" as a deployment method. But when I go through it further I have noticed that they have configured server VLAN as a 10.4.49.0/24 (all servers reside in it) and Client side VIP also in same VLAN which is 10.4.49.100/24 (even NAT pool also).
My confusion is, as I have learned about Cisco ACE 4710 one-armed mode deployment method, it should has two VLAN segments, one for Client side which client request come and hit the VIP and then second one for Server side. which means besically two VLANs. So please be kind enough to go through above document then tell me where is wrong, what shoud I need to do for the best. Please this is an urgent, so need your help quickly.
Thanks....!
-Amal-Dear Kanwal,
I need quick help for you. Following are the Application LB requirements which I received from my clinet side.
Following detail required for configuring Oracle EBS Apps tier on HA:
LBR IP and Name required to configure EBS APPS Tier (i.e, ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes)
Suggested IP and Name for LBR:
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm detail for LBR Setup
Following detail will be use for configuring the LBR:
LBR IP and Name :
IP : 172.25.45.x [should be on same 172.25.45 subnet of ap1ebs & ap2ebs nodes]
ebiz.xxxx.lk [on port 80 for http protocol accessibility]
This LBR IP & name must be resolve and respond on DNS network
Server Farm Detail for LBR setup:
Server 1 (EBS App1 Node, ap1ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.19
Server Name: ap1ebs.xxxx.lk [ap1ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Server 2 (EBS App2 Node, ap2ebs):
IP : 172.25.45.20
Server Name: ap2ebs.xxxx.lk [ap2ebs hostname is an example, actual hostname will be use]
Protocol: http
Port: 8000
Since my client needs to access URL ebiz.xxxx.lk which should be resolved by IP 172.25.45.21 (virtual IP) via http (80) before they deploy the app on the two servers I just ran web service on both servers (Linux) and was trying to access http://172.25.45.21 it was working fine and gave me index.html page. Now after my client has deployed the application then when he tries to access the page http://172.25.45.21 he cannot see his main login page. But still my testing web servers are there on both servers when I type http://172.25.45.21 it will get index.html page, but not my client web login page. What can I do for this ?
Following are my latest config :

Cannot Telnet to ACE 4710 after upgrade to A4(2.3)
I have a pair of ACE 4710s with 12 contexts sharing the load, running A4(2.1). Yesterday I upgraded one of them to A4(2.3)
now I cannot telnet to the Admin context.Pings ok. I can telnet to other contexts on the box and everything seems to be working ok
when i do a " sh telnet"
comes back with
No Session Information is available
sh telnet maxsessions
telnet maxsessions 16
Can anybody help?further this post, it was not a resource problem as had allocated 5% for the Admin context.
I up graded IOS Saturday evening, could not Telnet in, tried again on Sunday same result,
though this morning (Monday) Can now telnet in ok very strange
I was connecting via the AUX line of a 2851 router to the console port.
whe I disconnected this morning I saw the following message
INIT: id "T0" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes
not sure if this is a 2851 message or an ACE message, but after getting that message is when I was able to Telnet in
was it a coincidence
anybody any ideas -
ACE 4710. Unable to clear ssh sessions
Hi.
Once in the CLI of an ACE 4710, using the command "clear ssh session id" I am unable to clear/kill any of the remote ssh sessions established.
According to the administration guide, the "clear ssh .." command must clear the sessions, but it does not, or maybe I am missing something?

ACE 4710 cannot handle more than 10,000 concurrent connections..
When you use the ACE to perform a specific set of application
acceleration and optimization functions, and the ACE reaches the
maximum of 10,000 concurrent connections, the appliance stops
accepting any additional concurrent connections until the count
drops below 10,000.

ACE 4710 - Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage randomly
We have a ACE 4710 with a basic config, (see below).
When clicking on a tab from a window within Interent explorer we occasionally get an issue with it returning: "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" The details show "Access is denied" accessing a particular line of a javascript file.
We have put one web server out of service in the farm to make sure that this isn't a result of stickyness not quite working.
We have tested extensively by going directly to the web server directly without the load balancer and cannot reproduce the problem but we can produce the issue within a few minutes when going to the load balanced address.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

ACE 4710 HTTPS load balance configuration
Have two ACE 4710 in HA setup. We would like to setup HTTPS loadbalance(actually just a primary and standby configuration in the serverfarm). Initially this would be for Exchange OWA connections but may expand to more HTTPS connections later.
I know there are several ways to do SSL with the ACE( client, server, end-to-end). I am just wanting to know the easiest way to deploy this? Is a certificate always needed on the ACE for each connection? In HA mode would a certificate be needed for both or does it replicate in some way to the other ACE?
Any configuration examples would be helpful.
Thanks.IF you terminate SSL on the ACE you need certificates and key on ace in the context in which you are doing the termination. The certs and keys need to be installed on the active and standby (manually unless using anm to manage).
when speaking of SSL
SSL termination refers to ace terminating SSL and sending to server as clear text
end to end - ACE terminates SSL (to look into payload to make a loadbalance decision or sticky decision) and then re-encrypts to the server, so to the client ACE is an ssl server and to the server the ace is an ssl client.
You can find some config examples at
