Keepalive limitations on ACE 4710 & module
I wanted to find out how many times can I apply a healthcheck in a single context. I have 50 farms that are using the same port and instead of creating 50 different healthchecks, I want to just create 1 healthcheck for the 50 farms and apply it to each farm. I also need to know if the same limitations (whatever they may be) is the same for the 4710, ACE20 and ACE30.
It's doncumented in the "Configuring Health Monitoring" of the configuration guide "server load balancing".
For ACE4710 running A3 :
The ACE supports 1000 unique probe configurations, which includes ICMP, TCP, HTTP, and other predefined health probes. The ACE can execute only up to 200 concurrent script probes at a time. The ACE also allows the opening of 2048 sockets simultaneously.
You can associate the same probe with multiple real servers or server farms. Each time that you use the same probe again, the ACE counts it as another probe instance. You can allocate a maximum of 4000 probe instances.

ACE 4710 A3(2.0) and ACS - TACACS+
Hi.
I am having trouble getting my ACE 4710 (A3(2.0) Build 3.0) to cooperate with my Cisco Secure ACS-server. In the same environment I have it working on my ACE Module, with the same configuration.
ACE 4710:
tacacs-server host 10.7.50.20 key 7 "fewhg"
aaa group server tacacs+ tacacs_server_group
server 10.7.50.20
deadtime 15
aaa authentication login default group tacacs_server_group local none
aaa accounting default group tacacs_server_group local
aaa authentication login error-enable
ACS is configured correctly too. I have tried with several users, both in groups, with and without attributes and so forth. The ACS installation works with other devices and with my ACE modules running A2(3.1). I have tried this on both ACS 4.2(0).124 and 4.2(1).15.
The strange part is what I see when I set up Wireshark on my ACS-server to look at the traffic. From what I can see, the ACE only sends a request to the AAA-server if the user exists locally. But I do not get authenticated and Failed Attempts show a line with with Message-Type: "Unknown NAS".
It seems like others have the same problem. The problem is that the link attacked in the topic beneath only leads me back to forum and not to a topic with solution.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance!are you using telnet or ssh ?
if ssh can you try telnet, allow telent on your management policy to do this. Then if it works via telnet , then try ssh again, if it now works then you have hit CSCsu36078

CSS v ACE 4710 Performance Comparison
Am trying to verify performance figures for a CSS 11503 EOL replacement using ACE 4710
Trying to comapre apples with apples (is a CSS SSL TPS the same as a ACE 4710 TPS etc...)
Pulling figures from data sheets, release notes etc I have only come up with the following
Is there any further figures available for the ACE 4710 to fill in the blanks in table?
Am sure that ACE 4710 smokes the CSS but have to do the due diligence

ACE 4710 bundle license backup
Hello,
Is it possible to backup ACE appliance licenses if product is bought as a bundle?

Following is mentioned in the ACE documentation:
"If you need to replace the ACE, you can copy and install the license file for the license onto the replacement appliance."
But, when we try to backup licenses, we get following results:

I suppose licenses cannot be backuped because they are bundled and delivered with the bundle by default, and not installed...
Does anyone know what would be the procedure for this bundled licenses in case of ACE HW replacement needed?
Best regards,
JasminaHi Jasmina,
License file management is quite simple for ACE. Two methods; save original license email or copy from disk0:.
If you purchased and upgraded license, and followed procedure to generate it, you would have received your license via email. We recommend per documentation (License ordering section) that you:
"Step 5 Save the license key e-mail in a safe place in case you need it in the future (for example, to transfer the license to another ACE). "
Also, to apply, you copy the license file to disk0: on the ACE. This *.lic file resides on disk0: thereafter.
So if you did not happen to save the original email when you obtained the license, and the license has been installed, then you can simply copy the *.lic file off the ACE from disk0: to a safe place. Example copying file from ACE to FTP server:
Switch/Admin# copy disk0: ftp:
Enter source filename]? 1ACE2009060306445454.lic
Enter Address for the ftp server]? 10.2.3.4
Enter the destination filename]? [1ACE2009060306445454.lic]
Enter username]? anonymous
Enter the file transfer mode[bin/ascii]: [bin]
Enable Passive mode[Yes/No]: [Yes]
Password:
Passive mode on.
Hash mark printing on (1024 bytes/hash mark).

Hi Everyone
We will be upgrading our ACE 4710s from A3(2.2) to A4(1.0). We have a pair in high availability mode. Has anyone here got any tips on how we can get a smooth upgrade without downtime? Is this even possible?
Thanks
AOf course it is possible to upgrade with no downtime!
However it is always recommended to schedule the upgrade in a maintenance window to minimize the impact in case of any issues.
You can normally find the documented procedure here for the upgrade:
http://cco/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/ace_appliances/vA3_1_0/configuration/admin/guide/upgrade.html#wp1012243
I find in fact the best would be the following:
1. Upgrade the stand by module first.
2. Once reloaded, switchover to the standby and verify all services working correctly.
3.Upgrade the new stand by module.
4. Eventually switch over again to restore the active box as per the original configuration.
By doing this, if for some reason the first switchover at point 2. would not work, you can switch back to a safe scenario which you are sure to work.
Cheers,
Domenico. -
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, -
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

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.

Hello,
I am running redundant ACE 4710 appliances running A3(2.7). I have five FT groups configured along with FT Tracking and when the vlans fail due to physical links being down, the contexts to do not failover. If one of the ACE boxes fail completely, failover works fine. I have included the FT config from one of the contexts below. I have a case open with TAC and the Engineer is suggesting the use of a query interface in additon to FT Tracking. We have had two incidents on separate contexts where we lost a physical interface on the primary ACE, one for the maintenance of the core switch, the other was a cable disconnect and we are unable to understand why the indivdual context didn't failover. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Let me know if more info/configs are needed.

For tracking to work you need to have preempt enabled. Can you try enabling preempt under the ft group and test your tracking again? Another potential issue you may run into is if your tracking is not lowering the priority enough when it fails. The difference between the active and standby device is 100. If you are not decrementing the priority greater than this value even if priority is enabled it will not lower it enough to force the failover. If after enabling preempt on this group the tracking still does not work as expected send you whole config for us to look at.
Regarding the query interface; This is not a bad idea. It will help prevent an active active situation if there is a problem with the ft link between the two modules.
Thanks

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: 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.

Chris Higgins -
ACE 4710 in bridge mode not working
I am trying to configure ACE 4710 bridge mode and I am stuck up in physical interface configuration. I have configured gig1/2 of ACE as trunk port and on layer 2 switch I have assigned that interface (gig1/2) to VLAN 11. I tried trunk port also but it got disabled due to BPDU error.
I am not able to ping servers as well as gateway. Below are the topology and context configuration:

Could you pls. suggest where I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Pawan" I tried trunk port also but it got disabled" <----- if your L2 config is not correct, nothing will work.
What is the setup on the switch ? Trunk or access vlan ?
What is the status of the interface ? up ? down ?
Do you see something in your arp table ?

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. 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?

What version of software are you running on your 4710? I am running the latest A3(2.4). Can you try this version?

ACE 4710 and mangled HTTP requests
After replacing a Cisco CSS/SSL Accelorator and PIX firewall with an ACE 4710 to do load balancing and SSL encryption behind an ASA firewall we started seeing mangled HTTP requests in the Apache access logs for the servers in the server farm. Here is one example:
XX.XX.XXX.XXX - - [21/Oct/2012:01:42:12 -0500] "heckoutFlag=true&verifyPassword=false&newsletter=false&emailaddress=&email2=&pass1=&pass2=&username=POST /register/LServlet HTTP/1.1" 501 3322 "https://www.ourwebsite.com/register/CServlet" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
Rather than appearing just after the timestamp, the "POST /register/LServlet" is tacked on to header information that shouldn't even appear in the log. Also the first letter in that header information is always missing (heckoutFlag instead of checkoutFlag in this example).
The mangled request always shows up as a 501 HTTP error and shows up late in the Apache access logs (timestamp is out of chronogical order) and always appears with several duplicate POSTs:
XX.XX.XXX.XXX - - [21/Oct/2012:01:42:23 -0500] "POST /register/LServlet HTTP/1.1" 200 8537 "https://www.ourwebsite/register/CServlet" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
XX.XX.XXX.XXX - - [21/Oct/2012:01:44:12 -0500] "POST /register/LServlet HTTP/1.1" 200 8537 "https://www.ourwebsite/register/CServlet" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
XX.XX.XX.XXX - - [21/Oct/2012:01:42:12 -0500] "heckoutFlag=true&verifyPassword=false&newsletter=false&emailaddress=&email2=&pass1=&pass2=&username=POST /register/LServlet HTTP/1.1" 501 3322 "https://www.ourwebsite.com/register/CServlet" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
XX.XX.XXX.XXX - - [21/Oct/2012:01:44:12 -0500] "POST /register/LServlet HTTP/1.1" 200 8537 "https://www.ourwebsite/register/CServlet" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0)"
This is occurring for several different URLs and not just the one above and for multiple web browsers.
The ACE load balances to servers running Tomcat 7 with Apache HTTP server v. 2.2.14.
A recent ACE software upgrade to A5(2.1) has not fixed the problem.
Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
-KariHi Kari,
Do you have a sample of the configuration which you got with the CSS?
What is the current configuration which you got on the ACE?
Can you shows this output: # show stats http?
