Implementing WAAS using 3925 and 2911 Cisco routers

Dear all,
I am new to Cisco WAAS and therefore I would like to request some help regarding the following scenario:
I have a star network (1 hub and 5 spoke) topology where each satellite site is connected via a 2 MB  (symmetric)  to the Head-Quarters (Central node). In order to be able to concentrate all servers (services) at the head-quarters and improve the users experience in remote sites when accessing network services that are located at the head-quarters we want to implement Cisco WAAS instead of increasing the existing bandwidth.
At the head-quarters we are using a 3925 Cisco router and at the remote locations we are using 2911 Cisco routers. Last but not least there will be approximately 75 concurrent users from remote sites accessing resources at the head-quarters.
Currently I am planning to use the following:
·At the head-quarters I am planning to use a Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Module: SM-SRE-900-K9 with an Enterprise license (for large deployment) in the Cisco router 3925
·At the remote sites I am planning to use a Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Module: SM-SRE-700-K9 with an Enterprise license (for medium deployment) in the Cisco router 2911
Is there anything else that I am missing or need to take into consideration for deploying the WAAS.
Regards,
Screech

Hi Screech,
Answers:
Is the  dedicated WAE hw for central management purpose a required component?not required as WAEs can optimize even without Cntral managementbut you will not be able to collect statistics, reports and will have to manage WAEs from CLI. This a kind of highly recommended management piece you will need.
What is the difference between using a full blown WAE instead of a  Sm  SRE module: Using a fully blown WAE at DC is recommended as you are then avoiding couple of bottlenecks.
1. Bandwidth allcoation
2. SM / NM models have low capacity, disks where as fully blown models like 674s have 10k/15k SATA / SAS drives.
3. HW redundancy: you have backup PS / HD in dedicated WAEs in msot of the models.
4. HW dependency: Your SM moduels depened upon your router / switch. If for some reason, switch or router goes down, SM moule goes down at same time.
5. Additional NICs / HW availability.
There are various other reasons you might want to consider. You can ask your cisco sales engineer or one of the PDI help engineer on the forum can also punch in here.
but basicaly, I would go for fully blown WAE on DC side and central management piece as well.
Regards.

  • Necessary tools to implement XA using MQSeries and Oracle

    I am trying to write a code implementing the XA functionality with MQSeries 5.2, Oracle 8.1.6, MQ JMS 5.2, ma88 Support Pac, tomcat-jakarta 4.0.1.
    Can anyone please tell me if this is enough or do I really need Websphere... Our current implementations uses XA on the C++ platform, so the expectations here is that MQSeries 5.2 + MQJMS is enough.
    Please advise and thanks in advance.

    An example is actually in the WebSphere MQSeries manual "Using Java" which is downloadable from www.ibm.com/mqseries/... It is also default installed on Windows if you install MQSeries on Windows.
    Example:
    Connection con = queueManager.getJDBConnection(dbXadsInstance);
    queueManager.begin();
    //get message with queueManager get (use syncpoint options)
    //put message with queueManager put (use syncpoint options)
    //change data in your database (insert, update, delete)
    queuemanager.commit() (or queueManager.backout() for rollback)
    That's it. Make sure to compile the switch in %MQMBASE%/java/lib/jdbc (make oracle). Create the ResourceManager entry in the stanza qm.ini (see administrators guide)
    You should now be in business.

  • Facing issue in using SNMPV3 on Cisco Routers

    Hi,
    Actually, i am trying to implement SNMPV3 on Cisco Routers & Switches to manage & monitor these devices in a more secure manner using NMS called Orion (NPM) Network Performance Monitor.
    When i am going to add the node on Orion (NPM), it is showing me an error that the device does not support the interfaces MIB.
    The Routers IOS Version and its feature set is as under:
    Cisco 3800 & 2800 (IOS version 12.4(20)T2 Advance IP Services).
    Configuration as under:
    snmp-server DEPT_GRP V3 auth context DEPT_CTX read DEPT_VIEW
    snmp-server view DEPT_VIEW iso included
    snmp-server view DEPT_VIEW internet included
    snmp-server view DEPT_VIEW interfaces included
    snmp-server view DEPT_VIEW system  included

    snmp-server user SNMPADMIN DEPT_GRP v3 auth sha cisco123 priv des cisco123
    snmp-server host 213.42.48.158 version 3 auth SNMPADMIN
    At Orion parameters are given as under:
    username :- SNMPADMIN
    SNMPV3 context :- DEPT_CTX
    SNMPV3 Authentication :- SHA1
    SNMPV3 Privacy/Encryption :- DES56
    Password Key :- cisco123 (All the places)
    Kindly help me out and advise me where i am going wrong. Kindly check the configuration above is anything missing in it regarding the SNMPV3 configuration.
    Rgds,
    Ayaz Ali

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for your response. As per your reply, i had removed the context and views which were configured earlier on the router and followed the same instructions as you mentioned in your reply, but i would like to tell you one thing about the configuration that i had done for snmp v3.
    Your configuration is :-
    snmp-server group DEPT_GRP v3 auth read v1default
    snmp-server user SNMPADMIN DEPT_GRP v3 auth sha cisco123 priv des cisco123
    My Configuration is :-
    snmp-server group DEPT_GRP v3 priv read v1default
    snmp-server user SNMPADMIN DEPT_GRP v3 auth sha cisco123 priv des cisco123
    In your configuration, you are using Authentication (Auth) for the SNMP v3 group and if u select auth (Keyword) then you have to only provide authentication method (SHA,MD5) no privacy keys for encryption (DES,AES) in snmp user configuration, otherwise it will give you an error that credential not matched on the host when you try to poll the device.
    In my configuration, I am using privacy (priv) for the SNMP v3 group, thats why i had given both authentication and encryption keys under SNMP user configuration.
    In short, user settings are dependent on the group settings if you are using auth then it only support authentication but no privacy and if you are using priv then it allow both authentication and encryption (privacy).
    Thanks for your support, it really helped me out in solving the issue. Now, i am able to poll my all routers using snmp v3.

  • The difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Cisco Routers and Catalyst switches

    Hello
    I am investigating the difference of the IEEE802.1x Auth between Routers and Switches.
    Basically dot1x auth is availlable on Catalyst Switches. however if I want to check to
    PortBased Multi-Auth , MAC address Auth and any certification Auth with this feature,
    Is it possible to integrate into Cisco Router such as Cisco 891F ?
    In my opinion Cisco891F is also available to use basic IEEE802.1x but if it compares with Catalyst switches such as Cat3560X
    I think there might be any unsupported feature on Cisco 891F.
    I appreciate any information. thank you very much in advance.

    Many time in interviews asked comaprison between cisco  routers and switches that i was answerless bcoz i dont have much knowledge about that.Can anyone provide me the compariosin sheet of the same.how are the cisco devices differ with each other how much Bandwidth each routres support and Etc...
    Ummmm ... The most common question I get is "what is the difference between a router and a switch".
    However, if you get a question like this, then my impression to this line of questioning are:
    1.  The candidate they are looking for has in-depth knowledge of routers and switches.  And I mean IN-DEPTH!;
    2.  They are not looking for a candidate.  They just want to stroke their ego.  There is not alot of people who can give you the "names and numbers" of routers and switches at a snap of a finger.  And if you do happen to know the answer, then and there, then expect a tougher follow-up question.

    Hello Erick
        Thanks for the topology. The trigger will be different for labelled  packet as you would need to mention the values of labels too in the  trigger.
         Below are two examples of one or two labels being  used, it depends on where you are capturing the packet in mplsvpn  scenario which will decide teh number of labels being imposed on the  packet.
    Trigger for one label. (if the router on which you are capturing the packet PHP is being performed)
    VPN label - 5678
    Source Address - 111.111.111.111
    Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
    show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x88470162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F 7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
    Trigger for two labels. (for other core routers)
    IGP label - 1234
    VPN label - 5678
    Source Address - 111.111.111.111
    Destination Address - 123.123.123.123
    show platform capture elam trigger dbus others if data = 0 0 0 0x8847004D 0x20000162 0xE0000000 0 0 0x00006F6F 0x6F6F7B7B 0x7B7B0000 [ 0 0 0 0xffffffff 0xf000ffff 0xf0000000 0 0 0x0000ffff 0xffffffff 0xffff0000 ]
        You can check the labels being used (by using show ip cef <> details) and covert their values to hex and change the trigger accordingly.
         I have changed the colors for better understanding. If you notice carefully in the trigger the values for ip address, labels have just been converted to their respective hex values which could be replaced.
         Please let me know if this helps.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Difference between setting up a vpn with windows 7 and cisco routers

    Hi.I was wondering what the main difference Is between setting up a vpn with windows 7 or configuring It on cisco routers.
      When you setup the vpn on windows 7 or xp do the client and server pc's take care of the encryption and decryption whereas configuring vpn on routers , the encryption and decryption Is done solely by the routers?
    If I want to setup a connection where an IP In the same Internal lan Is assigned to the client pc I'm guessing I'd have to use a router configuration.
      Thanks

    Thank you for the response, lucky for me there was another option. Threatened to cancel with the ISP on the NAT side unless they assigned us a public static ip/gateway/subnet. They ended up doing that and the VPN connected as soon as the changes were made in the Linksys.

  • I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error.

    I tried to implement photo albums using iweb and got a publishing error. All was fine with my site until I added the photo album page. The software doesnt say what the error is exactly, only that it is a publishing error to my ftp
    Exact message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."
    If I reduce the albums inside to 1 then it seems to work but that takes away from the usefullness of multiple albums.
    my iWeb version is 3.0.4 (601)

    Publish your site to a folder on your hard drive to see if the publication will proceed successfully and open the site locally with your browser to confirm all of the alums are there and work.  If they do try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

  • Cisco 4402 WLC IOS Upgradation using CLI and Web Interface

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to upgrade IOS of Cisco 4402 WireLess LAN Controller using CLI and Web interface ?
    Can any one help me regarding the same.
    Please answer as soon as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here are the instructions for upgrading the controllers via GUI:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn52.html#wp472449
    Instructions via cli:
    Cisco recommends that a direct CLI console port connection is used to update the controller software.
    1. Make sure a TFTP server is available for the Operating System (OS) software download. Also, keep these guidelines in mind when the TFTP server is set up:
    If a download is performed through the service port, the TFTP server must be on the same subnet as the service port because the service port is not routable.
    If a download is performed through the Distribution System (DS) network port, the TFTP server can be on the same or a different subnet because the DS port is routable.
    The TFTP server cannot run on the same computer as the Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) because WCS and the TFTP server use the same communication port.
    2. Download the desired OS software update file from the Cisco website to the default directory on the TFTP server.
    3. Log into the WLC CLI.
    4. Issue the ping server-ip-address command to verify that the WLC can contact the TFTP server.
    5. Issue the transfer download start command and answer n when prompted to view the current download settings.
    This example shows the command output:
    transfer download start
    Mode........................................... TFTP
    Data Type...................................... Code
    TFTP Server IP.................................

    * transfer download mode tftp
    * transfer download datatype code
    * transfer download serverip tftp-server-ip-address
    * transfer download filename filename
    * transfer download path absolute-tftp-server-path-to-file
    Note: All TFTP servers require the full pathname. For example, in Windows, the path is C:\TFTP-Root. (In UNIX forward slashes (/) are required.)
    7. Issue the transfer download start command to view the updated settings, and answer y when prompted to confirm the current download settings and start the OS code download.
    This example shows the download command output:
    transfer download start
    Mode........................................... TFTP
    Data Type...................................... Code
    TFTP Server IP.................................
    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    TFTP Path......................................

  • Video/Voice Conference -8 Error Explained for Cisco Routers

    I cannot tell you how long I have spent trying to figure out this problem. We have a bunch of macs sitting behind a NATed Cisco 2811 router, and iChat will just never work, throwing the good ole' -8 error.
    Having a good understanding of SIP, I decided to get down an dirty with the investigation of why iChat doesn't work behind some routers, while it does on others.
    iChat uses SIP, but as I have found, Apple's implementation of it does not completely honor the RFC. This is the root cause of iChat not working behind enterprise grade routers that have SIP ALG activated (details later).
    Apple uses its own flavor of NAT traversal: SNATMAP. This is an Apple service that is utilized every time a video/voice conference is created from iChat. For those of you familiar with SIP, SNATMAP essentially performs the same function as a STUN server. This service abstracts the port specifications necessary to get around NATs to a server on the public Internet.
    With some routers, this SNATMAP seems to work fine. With others, not so much. I honestly don't have too deep of an understanding of SNATMAP so I cannot get into too much detail as to why it doesn't work with some routers. If anyone knows, please chime in!
    I can, however, clearly indicate why it doesn't work behind routers that have a SIP ALG, which essentially has the intelligence to pick apart to SIP packet to make them NAT friendly. Basically, there is a portion of SIP packets called the SDP (Session Description Protocol) that provides all of the information necessary to set up the voice and video stream. The SIP RFC calls for this section to include information like the connection IP address, port, video codec, audio codec, etc. HOWEVER, Apple's implementation of iChat DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PORT IN THE SDP. Therefore, when a SIP ALG tries to intelligently convert the port, it isn't there to change. Even if it does manage to insert a port number into the SDP, the iChat client receiving the SIP packet doesn't respect that port number and just dumbly sends the request back to the default SIP port (5060).
    Here is a little flow of the process:
    1. A SIP packet is sent out from iChat to the cisco router
    2. Cisco intercepts the packet, changes the private IP address of my computer to the public IP address of the interface, and changes the port to one that it assigns on the public interface. So, basically the SIP packet enters the cisco with the SDP info like 192.168.100.137:5060 and leaves the Cisco like <public IP>:1877.
    3. On the receiving end, the SIP packet and SDP section is read with our DSL connection's public IP address, so when it tries to make contact back, requests are sent to the DSL public IP address and not an unrouteable private IP. Also, it sends to the port specified in the SDP section.
    4. When a packet comes in from the peer, the destination is something like <public IP>:1877. The cisco NAT translation table remembers that things destined to port 1877 should be converted to 192.168.100.137 on port 5060. The SDP section of the SIP packet is modified and things are peachy.
    5. This happens back and forth for all SIP messages that traverse the NAT.
    iChat is not SIP RFC compliant which is why we are having these natting issues. iChat does not specify a port in the SDP portion of the SIP messages it is sending out: a big no-no. Therefore, when the recipient iChat is sending back its requests to 207.182.233.32, it is sending it to port 5060 instead of assigned port 1877. The public port 5060 is blocked, and is not routed to any specific computer, resulting in a timeout. Here is the Cisco output 'debug ip nat sip'
    001892: .Oct 2 22:53:04.108 PCTime: NAT: SIP: [0] processing INVITE message
    001893: .Oct 2 22:53:04.108 PCTime: NAT: SIP: [0] register:0 door_created:0
    001894: .Oct 2 22:53:04.108 PCTime: NAT: SIP: [0] translated embedded address 192.168.100.138-><public IP>
    001895: .Oct 2 22:53:04.108 PCTime: NAT: SIP: [0] No port present. Use new port 5060->1210
    As you can see, it is processing the INVITE request and translating the internal IP address to the public one.
    However, it reports no port present, meaning that the port specification in the SDP section of the SIP packet is not present. It does a port translation because it feels obligated to, but iChat doesn't respect that on the other end and sends to 5060 anyway which is not mapped to any specific internal IP addess, so, alas, it doesn't work.
    Now, that being, said, this explains why iChat doesn't work behind SIP ALGs. However, if you are able to disable the SIP ALG (on cisco: 'no ip nat service sip udp 5060'), it still doesn't work. With the ALG turned off, the SDP translations don't occur, but for some reason SNATMAP still doesn't work either. I am thinking that could be due to a nat issue, but I haven't figured that out yet. Anyone's insight would be appreciated!
    Hope this helps anyone out there seeking help / console with iChat Error -8 issues behind an enterprise grade router.
    Hopefully we can figure out why iChat's SNATMAP implementation doesn't work with a Cisco NAT next...

  • MTU calculation on CISCO routers

                       Hello, just wanted to clarify my knowledge on MTU.
    interface commands -
    IP MTU: is calculating    LAYER 3 HEADER + ITS PAYLOAD, which makes max MTU of 1500.
    MTU: ETHERNET HEADER + LAYER 3 HEADER + ITS PAYLOAD, which makes 1514 mtu if no mpls, no tags are used. I AM right ? Looking at some vendors other than CISCO (for example) alcatel -lucent this seems to be correct.
    But i saw on some cisco routers MTU and IP MTU - 1500 bytes. Why MTU is only 1500, how CISCO calculates MTU, it doesn't count ethernet header or what ? So my calculation above is bad considering CISCO ?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    Sorry Giuseppe, but I have to disagree with your statement that ((IOS MTU is referred to layer 3 PDU only)) and with the ((MPLS MTU)) command.
    Infact, how Cisco treat MTU is what should be understood, at least from my point of view and experience.
    The IOS indeed calculate the (IP MTU, Layer-2 MTU and MPLS MTU), below how its calculated:
    1- The 1500 of (IP MTU) considers the layer-3 Header and the Payload.
    2- The Layer-2 MTU of (1500), considers the Ethernet Header and CRC Trailer of additional 22 bytes as well, So the Default of  (MTU 1500) doesnt mean the header and FCS is not considered, the fact, the total layer-2 MTU is equal to 1522, but when you see it 1500 on the IOS, it doesnt mean its not considerable, its calculated as a sum and its shown as 1500, So the 1500 considers the Ethernet header and CRC in its Calculations.
    I have seen many implementation where MTU were a big issue resulting in performance degradation and frame/packet drops if not increased, Especially when having MPLS and Dot1q Tunneling.
    The Layer-2 MTU from my point MUST be increased when using Dot1q Tunneling to consider the Inner VLAN tag of 4 Bytes, Like Wise, the MPLS MTU on IOS Platforms must be increased to accomodate the additional labels.
    I hope this gives an idea of how Cisco Calculates its MTU ,
