IOS SLB maximum connections

Hi,
New to this Forum, at least. Apologies if this is not appropriate for SLB questions...
We have a standard IOS SLB setup with 2 x Cisco3725's running HSRP. IOS SLB setup for a few servers on private LAN. They're running www, ftp, https.
We have a customer who needs figures for maximum connections supported for www, for example.
We currently monitor the basic's(bandwidth :) ) via MRTG.
Has anyone an idea how we would go about trying to estimate max xonnections for our setup. Are there general scalability guidelines on CCO?
Thanks,
Mark

The Cisco IOS Server Load Balancing (SLB) feature is a Cisco IOS-based solution that provides server load balancing. This feature allows you to define a virtual server that represents a cluster of real servers, known as a server farm. When a client initiates a connection to the virtual server, the IOS SLB load balances the connection to a chosen real server, depending on the configured load-balance algorithm or predictor. To monitor HTTP access you could use the HTTP proble feature that is supported with IOS server load balancing. For more information refer to the following document.

  • IOS slb questions

    Hi,
    1. It is true that ip slb probe http is not working on 6509 without CSM card?
    2. Did someone had tested how many IOS SLB client connections can support a 6509 with SUP1A /MSFC2 without CSM card?
    Thanks,
    Yuti

    The Cisco CSM accommodates a wide range of common IP protocols?including TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Additionally, the Cisco CSM supports higher-level protocols, including HTTP, FTP, Telnet, Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), Domain Name System (DNS), and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
    The Cisco CSM allows full regular expression pattern matching for policies based on URLs, cookies, and HTTP header fields. The Cisco CSM supports any URL or cookie format?allowing it to load balance existing Web content without requiring URL or cookie format changes.

  • IOS SLB Loab Balance Questions

    Forgive me if this is the wrong forum but it was the closest one I found relating to my issue.
    I've trying to load balance four of our radius servers using IOS SLB. The config works well and the radius servers are accepting requests fine. I follow this article which wasn't too bad to follow:
    http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns377/c649/cdccont_0900aecd800eb95f.pdf
    My two questions are:
    1. Sticky Option
    I understand it's used to make sure the client's accounting information
    goes to the correct real server, but I'm not sure how it really works
    and what's the best time to set it to.
    Eg:
    ip slb vserver RAD-UDP-1646
    virtual 210.x.x.224 udp 1646
    serverfarm RADFARM
    sticky 86400 group 10
    inservice
    a/ The documentation says "This configuraion causes the sticky database to store its entries for 86,400 seconds of inactivity". What do they mean by "inactivity" - no radius packets coming through? inactivity from the user's end?
    b/ It also says "the client's IP address is added to the IOS SLB database..." - is this the client's framed IP that the ISP assigns to the customer???
    c/ And what would be the optimum time to set the sticky timer to be?
    2. SLB connection statistics
    core1-router#sh ip slb reals
    real farm name weight state conns
    203.x.x.74 RADFARM 8 OPERATIONAL 0
    203.x.x.78 RADFARM 8 OPERATIONAL 0
    203.x.x.79 RADFARM 8 OPERATIONAL 0
    203.x.x.80 RADFARM 8 OPERATIONAL 2
    When you disconnect, the slb stats still show you as being connected to
    the real server (and both udp ports) which isn't very accurate. There is a default "delay" time which handles TCP disconnections and after being disconnected for 10 sec, the SLB stats are updated to reflect this (I've verified this works)- but nothing about how it handles UDP disconnections??? This
    would skew the stats and give us a very bad misrepresentation of the
    number of current and valid connections. Is there anyway to correct this???
    Thanks.
    Andy

    Inactivity for IOS SLB means that after specified time of inactivity, the client will be free to be load balanced to another server. As long as they remain active without an idle time , they will remain connected to the same real server. For the client's IP address which is added to the IOS SLB database I think it is the frammed IP address which the ISP assigns. The optimum time for the sticky timer will be its default value or say 60 seconds.

  • IOS SLB and IBM Workload Manager

    Does anyone know if IOS SLB can function similar to Multinode Load Balancing (MNLB) in that the IOS router acts as a Services Manager which contacts the OS390 Worload Manager (WLM) who then reports back the best OS390 server for a particular connection.
    Under MNLB, the Local Director performs the task as the Services Manager, but can a IOS SLB router perform this task?
    Thank you for your help.

    Steve, thank you for the reply. I have a large-scale OS390 WLM request as I'm told that this is the method for providing server load-balancing in a sysplex environment. I wonder why it is not supported in version 4.X. Do you happen to know the long term goal for OS390 load balancing support?
    I appreciate your help, Thank you

  • IOS SLB and probe failure

    Hello,
    we use server-load-balancing with IOS 12.1(19)E1
    We have a problem if the server receives more connections following error messages “REAL 192.168.197.8 (HSSAT1-LX) has changed to PROBE_FAILED” and few seconds later “REAL 192.168.197.8 (HSSAT1-LX) has changed to OPERATIONAL” appears and so on.
    We checked the server and they works proper.
    What could be the reason for probe failed?
    My configuration:
    ip slb probe HS-PROBE tcp
    interval 5
    ip slb serverfarm HSSAT1-LX
    nat server
    predictor leastconns
    failaction purge
    probe HS-PROBE
    real 192.168.197.8 99
    reassign 2
    inservice
    real 192.168.197.9 99
    reassign 2
    inservice
    ip slb vserver HS.SAT1.DE
    virtual xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx tcp www
    serverfarm HSSAT1-LX
    advertise active
    inservice standby allvips
    How does a TCP probe works? – I could not find more exact information in the documents to configure probes.
    Is it better to use another probe (icmp)? – or without any probe?
    When does it make sense to use probes?
    Best regards
    Stefan

    HI Stefan,
    tcp probes do a complete TCP 3-way handshake and normaly terminate the session. A problem which I had some times timeout for a session to be established might be to short if the server is "heavy" loaded.
    Probing on a specific method (TCP HTTP ...) is most of the times the better solution. Imagine a WEB-Server which is properly pingable but the httpd died due to some internal error. If you would probe on a per ping basis the loadbalancer will never notice this but if you monitor tcp-port 80 by a tcp probe or better a http probe you will notice this and the server would be taken out of the serverfarm. Even better but afaik not possible in IOS SLB is to probe a certain page e.g. index.html. As you know that the httpd is up and running and pages can be displayed.
    Regarding the probing issue it might be usefull to read the follwing link describing healthmonitoring with the CSM

  • IOS SLB and Stateless failover

    Trying to compare CSM and IOS SLB features. Read where the CSM can have "stateful" failover (maintains sessions) in a box-to-box scenerio. I also read where the IOS SLB can only provide "stateless" failover (I assume during failover, state/connection information is lost) using HSRP.
    Can anyone confirm what I have written?
    Your help is much appreciated.

    That is correct.
    The CSM can maintain state on connections on a failover using the "replicate csrp" command. This command is not available on IOS SLB.

  • ASA5510 - Maximum connect time

    Quick question.  I have configured the "Maximum Connect Time" as unlimited in my group policy but when a connection is established it shows a "Conn Time Out: 120 minutes".
    The connection does get dropped with this timer.  Any idea how to actually make it unlimited and why it get sets to 120?
    I having a problem with SSL phone clients dropping throughout the day and think this may be the cause.
    Thanks

    I ended up rebooting the ASA this morning and it fixed the issue.  Right away the timeout changed to what I had configured it to be and I was also able to make changes.
    Here's the response from TAC.  Thanks for helping with this.  Much appreciated.
    "I am glad that the issue was resolved on a reboot. Might be that svc sessions were stuck in the memory for some reason and the same sessions would be invoked every time you connected rather than tearing it down and creating a new svc session.
    Once rebooted I believe the sessions stuck in memory were cleared and new sessions came up as a result the issue vanished. I shall surely update you as I have an update from the devs on this."

  • Ios 7 wifi connected but not working

    my iphone 5s running ios 7 is connected to my home wifi but its not working, but my pc is doing fine on that wifi. and when i try connecting my iphone to other wifi it seems to work without any problem. i've reseted network settings many times and reseted all settings once but it wouldnt work for me. so whats the problem and how can i fix this?

    Try power cycling your router. Remove the router from power for about 30 seconds and then start it back up again. After it is finished configuring, try connecting your device again.

  • Maximum connections allowed for AMS 5.0.1

    How can I find out the maximum connection allowed for adobe media server 5.0.1 standard license?

    ...that would depend on your application.
    For a one-way video-on-demand system that streams recorded video at the user's request. Adobe Media Server serves only one stream to each user.
    Here are the bandwidth calculations you would make:
    Calculating server bandwidth needs (BWs):
    BWs = N × S
    where N = number of simultaneous users (subscribers)
    and S = average bitrate of encoded A/V content
    For example to calculate the overall server bandwidth needed to stream video encoded at 500 Kbps to 1000 simultaneous users:
    500 Mbps = 1000 × 500 Kbps
    The above assumes that content is encoded at a constant bitrate. Most often, however, you will vary the bitrate of the content to suit the viewing audience. This affects your bandwidth needs at both the client and server level.
    For example, suppose you estimated that half of the 1000 simultaneous users were going to connect via 350 Kbps DSL modem and the other half via 3 Mbps cable modem. Suppose further that while the video encoded at 500 Kbps was appropriate for the cable viewers, you wanted to encode a separate video at 150 Kbps for the DSL modem users.
    In this case, the total bandwidth required of the system is lowered to 325 Mbps:
    325 Mbps = (500 Kbps × 500) + (150 Kbps × 500)

  • ## NEED HELP ## Weblogic Managed Server Holding Maximum Connections

    In one of our weblogic setup, we have weblogic cluster with 4 members. This cluster has been setup with 2 physical servers, each server having 2 cluser members like below...
    Host Server 1 : ManagedServer1:7003, ManagedServer2:7004
    Host Server2 : ManagedServer3:7003, ManagedServer4:7004
    Cluster member of ManagedServer1:7003 holding maximum connection to HostServer2 and same cluser member of ManagedServer3:7003 holding maximum connection with HostServer1.
    As my assumption, since members are in cluster, heartbeat between the members (Host Server 1 : ManagedServer1:7003 and Host Server2 : ManagedServer3:7003) are holding the connections.
    Currently each managed server 8000 to 10000 connections holding as ESTABLISHED.
    Please let me know, what may be the reason, but other members of same cluster are fuctionality fine.

  • SCOM 2007 - SharePoint 2007: Maximum connections counter

    Hello,
    I am trying to locate the "Maximum connections counter" for SharePoint 2007 using SCOM 2007. I don't see it so far!!!
    "Web Service - Maximum Connections" does not show anywhere any idea?
    Thanks,
    Dom
    System Center Operations Manager 2007 / System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 / Forefront Client Security / Forefront Identity Manager

    The object is Web Service, which then has several different counters, which then might have several instances.
    If this performance object is something you want to monitor for, and it is not included in the mp, then you just need to create a performance monitor or collection rule, depending on what you want to do with the data.
    The Exchange 2013 MP, for example, has no performance collection rules.  So it's very possible, while the product group wanted to include everything most people need, they could have forgotten or were just not able to do so before they had to release
    the mp.  The MOSS 2007 MP has been around for years, was never updated, and isn't one of the better mps from MSFT.  So if you want to extend it with a custom management pack, or just add something via the console, then you should be fine.
