Monitoring the Cisco ACE module with SNMP

We use 2 redundant Cisco ACE loadbalancer in our datacenter
The models are ACE20-MOD-K9 with software A2(2.0)
Does anybod know how to monitor the environment (cpu, memory) of such a module with snmp?
We were not able to find an applicable MIB for that module.
The CISCO-PROCESS-MIB.oid (ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/oid/CISCO-PROCESS-MIB.oid) seems not to reflect the correct oid's.
What are the correct oid's for cpu and memory?
Where can I find a detailed documentation for snmp-monitoring the cisco ace module?
thanks

Hi Patrik,
to monitor the ACE I use these two MIB's:
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-SLB-MIB.my
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-ENHANCED-SLB-MIB.my

  • Cisco ACE Module with Bluecoat Cache Proxy, Transparent and spoofing client IP

    Hello Dears,
    I'm trying to implement Cache loadbalancing through Cisco ACE Module.
    I have 2 Bluecoat cache proxies, when i do configure transparent proxy without spoofing client IP, everything work properly, but when I enable spoofing client IP (reflect client IP address), clients are not able to access internet, although they are going to cache servers, I can see their sessions.
    I'm afraid that I have a problem in the returned traffic PBR.
    can anyone help please.
    Thanks

    Hi Ibrahim
    I ahve reviewed the config. The ACE config is all god but I do see some issue with the switch side. If you are doing ip spoofing, then "match ip address" in pbr should be the client ip address. However, what you did is ip address between the ACE and MSFC. Try to configure the test client ip address into the below access-list.

  • CISCO ACE issue with MIBs

    Dear All,
      I know this might have discussed here million times.. but still i am behind this to get this done due to BU pressure to do the capacity management.
    I am trying to get the following using SNMP
    1) Real Server
    2) Real Server Current Connection
    3)  Real Server IP address
    I tried it with following MIBs and OIDs
    CISCO-SLB-MIB
    slbRealServerFarmName               .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.161.1.3.1.1.1
    slbRealIpAddress                          .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.161.1.3.1.1.2
    slbRealNumberOfConnections         .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.161.1.3.1.1.5
    CISCO-ENHANCED-SLB-MIB
    cesRserverName                         .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.470.1.1.1.1.1
    cesRserverIpAddress                    .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.470.1.1.1.1.4
    cesRserverCurrConns                   .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.470.1.1.1.1.19
    Either of these MIBs /OIDs return any value.
    When i raise a TAC case i got the information saying these cannot be retrieved.
    Is there any way i can get these values from ACE MODULE , because this is very much required for the BU and they are behind us since long time.
    Apppreciate support from all.
    thanks,
    Parvees

    Hi Parvees,
    I wasn't looking for values you're interested in, but everything you can get with show command you can get via HTTP(s) request in XML using .
    For example, here's a "sh serverfarm ServerFarm1" query:
    $  curl --user USER:PASSWD -d "xml_cmd=CONTEXT\">xml-show on%0A show serverfarm ServerFarm1" http://ACE_IP_ADDRESS/bin/xml_agent
    I'm running curl on linux box, but I think it is available on other platforms. The code above is a one-line command, but you can write scripts/lists of commands and send them to your ACE with curl.
    Here's a link provided in a neighbour discussion that gives more information: https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-17849
    Hope this help,
    Alex

  • Cisco ACE compatiblity with F5 GTM

    Hi,
    We have cisco ace 30 modules installed in cisco 6500 switches. For application availability purpose from the internet, we need to have some global site selector/3rd party devices with similar feature set that of cisco gss.
    My question is: whether cisco ace is compatible to ge tintegrated with other 3rd party devices like F5 GTM?
    kindly sugegst..

    Good afternoon,
    I'm not familiar with the GTM solution, but, as long as it's DNS-based like the GSS, it should be perfectly compatible. Bear in mind that the ACE is not aware on how clients are getting the IP address, it just replies to whatever connections it gets.
    Regards
    Daniel

  • Cisco ACE module missing licence file - no connectivity

    Hi,
    We have 2 ACE modules that were delivered without any licenses.
    There is no IP connectivity whatsoever to these modules and I'm guessing this is due to the fact there are no licenses installed.
    Have tried asking Cisco to no avail - and am not sure if there is an actual problem with them or not.
    The VLANs are assigned correctly and I can see inbound ICMP echo from the 6509 that its hosted in, but no outbound packets ever leave the ACE. I've applied a mgmt policy to enable ping/telnet/ssh etc.

    The ARP table for the adjacent switch SVI has a valid MAC upon reboot, but soon after resets to 00.00.00.00.00.00
    Problem is that once Cisco eventually send me the license file I have no way of TFTP'ing it to the ACE module.
    Any suggestions/advice?

    Thanks for the info - so I should at least be able to connect to a license-less ACE at least, but these modules seem to have a problem.
    If the modules are reloaded (from the ACE) or reset (from the Supervisor) they initially have the ARP entry (however still cannot communicate to the attached Supervisor via SVI) which eventually resets.

  • Will the cisco vpn work with mountain lion?

    I want to know if I'll have any issues before upgrading.
    Thanks

    Okay, , , the concensus is that the Cisco Pix 501 ONLY supports a 32-bit client and no-one has come up with a workaround, SO -> seriously think about upgrading to a new firewall such as the Cisco ASA 5505 (which does support the 64-bit format). Depending on the number of users you need to connect, this model is available for around $345 (10 user) to $375 (50 user). Remember that the PIX 501 had an End-Of-Life date around Nov 2008.

  • Does the Cisco WRVS4400N come with its own VPN Software?

    I would like to install the Cisco WRVS4400N in a small business.  The specs on the router says it will work with nearly any VPN client.  But does it come with its own VPN software?  Is there a free VPN software that is recommended?  The business has no VPN software currently.  Thanks...

    Hi ,
    since this question is about a product in the Cisco Small Business / Linksys range, I suggest you move it to the community, where you will have a better chance of getting expert advice.

  • Cisco WCS integration with SNMP based monitoring

    I am looking for a solution to integrate Cisco WCS with any SNMP based monitoring solution.  My requirement is below,
    - Alerts for Access points up/down should be picked up by an alerting system in its console through SNMP.
    - I dont want all access points to be monitored, but only a critical group.
    Currently all access points are configured on LWAP mode under a wireless controller.  Can i configure APs individually for SNMP and get it monitored through the 3rd party monitoring tool.
    Can anyone please guide me to find a solution for this.

  • End of development of the Cisco ACE?

    Dear all,
    I read in many IT websites that Cisco has confirmed that it will end development of its Application Control Engine (ACE) load-balancer products and it will not develop further generations of its ACE.
    By the way, is it a correct information? Does Cisco will continue to sell ACE products? what we can do with the existing ACE20 and ACE30 already installed in our Data Center and is there any clear roadmap for Cisco load-balancer products?
    Ragards,
    Abdelaziz                 

    Hi Abdelaziz,
    This was answered to another similar question at :
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2172040
    At this current point in time, the ACE30 and ACE4710 will continue to be developed through A5(3.X) code as part of the planned lifecycle of those products.  Any of the other future products including vACE, RISE, Nexus based Modules, appliances, etc. currently have no ETA, nor has any lifecycle ever been defined as they are not released products.  There is also no official Cisco response at this point in time to the rumors of cancellation, holds, etc. despite the hinting of certain articles to "confirmed by Cisco resources" based comments. 
    Your best avenue for information is to talk with your local Cisco sales representative or account manager.  They may have more specific information pertaining to questions at a per-product/per-scenario level. As well, they will have the ability to help you plan your future deployments and designs queries accordingly.

  • How to specify the Process Flow Module with SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL ?

    Hi, we have a couple of process flow modules that have PF Packages and Process Flows with the same name.
    E.g
    PFMOD1 (Module)
    FILELOAD (Package)
    PF1 (Pf)
    PFMOD2 (Module)
    FILELOAD (Package)
    PF1 (Pf)
    Normally we can specify "FILELOAD/PF1" as a paramater to the procedure SQLPLUS_EXEC_TEMPLATE.SQL in order to initiate the running of an OWB process flow but how can the system distinguish between modules ?
    Anyone done this ?
    Thanks
    Paul

    If you deployed the packages to the same location then the second deployment replaced the result of the first one (actually a new version of the process flow was created). You can execute only the latest version...

  • How do I monitor the Band-width usage with my RV 120W?

    We are having an issue with accessing our SharePoint Sites over the Web and Microsoft Technicain wants us to capture band with usage. I am trying to findout if that is possible with the RV 120W. I have looked at the documentation and cannot find any info on doing this type of analysis.

    Hi Don,
    Thanks for posting. I don't recall a way to monitor bandwidth with the RV120W other than Status ->Port Statistics.

    Hello Krzysztof,
    Another set of good/interesting questions posted. Thanks! 
    I will try to clarify your doubts.
    In the output below both resources (proxy-connections and ssl-connections rate) are configured with a min percentage of resources (column Min), while 'Max' is set to equal to the min.
    ACE/Context# show resource usage
                                                         Allocation
            Resource         Current       Peak        Min        Max       Denied
    -- outputs omitted for brevity --
      proxy-connections             0      16358      16358      16358      17872
      ssl-connections rate          0        626        626        626      23204
    Most columns are self explanatory, 'Current' is current usage, 'Peak' is the maximum value reached, and the most important counter to monitor 'Denied' represents the amount of packets denied/dropped due to exceeding the configured limits.
    On the resources themselves, Proxy-connections is simply the amount of proxied connections, in other words all connections handled at layer 7 (SSL connections are proxied, as are any connections with layer 7 load balance policies, or inspection).
    So in this particular case for the proxy-connections we see that Peak is equal to the Max allocated, and as we have denies we can conclude that you have surpassed the limits for this resource. We see there were 17872 connections dropped due to that.
    ssl-connections rate should be read in the same manner, however all values for this resource are in bytes/s, except for Denied counter, that is simply the amount of packets that were dropped due to exceeding this resource. 
    For your particular tests you have allocated a min percentage and set max equal to min, this way you make sure that this context will not use any other additional resources.
    If you had set the max to unlimited during resource allocation, ACE would be allowed to use additional resources on top of those guaranteed, if those resources were available.
    This might sound a great idea, but resource planning on ACE should be done carefully to avoid any sort of oversubscription, specially if you have business critical contexts.
    We have a good reference for ACE resource planning that contains also description of all resources (this will help to understand the output better):
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A2/configuration/virtualization/guide/config.html#wp1008224
    1) When a resource is utilized to its maximum limit, the ACE denies additional requests made by any context for that resource. In other words, the action is to Drop. ACE  should in theory silently drop (No RST is sent back to the client). So unless we changed something on the code, this is what you should see.
    To give more context, seeing resets with SSL connections is not necessarily synonym of drops. As it is usual to see them during normal transactions.
    For instance Microsoft servers are usually ungracefully terminating SSL connections with RESET. Also when there is renegotiation during an SSL transaction you may see RESETS, but this will pass unnoticed for end users. 
    2)  ACE will simply drop/ignore new connections when we reach the maximum amount of proxied connections for that context. Exisiting connections will continue there.
    As ACE doesn't respond back, client would simply retransmit, and if he is lucky maybe in the next attempt he will be able to establish the connection.
    To overcome the denies, you will definitely have to increase the resource allocation. This of course, assuming you are not reaching any physical limit of the box.
    As mentioned setting max as unlimited might work for you, assuming there are a lot of unused resources on the box.
    3)  If a new connection comes in with a sticky value, that matches the sticky entry of a real server, which is already in MAXCONNS state, then both the ACE module/appliance should reject the connection and that sticky entry would be removed.
    The client would at that point reestablish a new connection and ACE would associate a new sticky entry with the flow for a new RSERVER after the loadbalancing decision.
    I hope this makes things clearer! Uff...
    Regards,
    Telmo

  • ACE 4700 Module and SNMP

    I am trying to monitor my ACE module via SNMP and am having trouble finding out how to get a couple of items.
    I can't find the memory utilization/free memory, either for the system as a whole or per context. Thus far I can only find the per process utilization which would require me to try to add up all of the processes.
    I would also like to try to get some of the hit counters and byte counters that are available from "show service-policy". Are these available via SNMP?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    The MIB for the 4710 can be found at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ace4710. You will need CCO download access to get this and should include what you are looking for.

  • ACE Module SNMP limits

    I am monitoring an ACE module using snmp. The values returned from certain OIDs are graphed using Cacti. I found the 64 bit counters on interfaces for the ACE wrap at 10,000,000,000 instead of 2^64. Now that I have configured cacti to expect the wrap at 10 billion, I am concerned about the 32 bit counters. I am querying this snmp oid to get L7 connection counter
    cslbxStatsL7PolicyConns
    1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.254.1.1.1.1.8
    Should I expect this counter to wrap at 2^32 or a lower value?

    The maximum value for a 32bit OID should be 4294967296, I do have a value in my lab that is above 1 billion for that counter, so I wouldn't think there is an issue immediately. One common issue - when you clear stats manually, the counter will reset to 0. As well, I found an internal bug that that suggested some pocket case within the code could have cleared stats incorrectly, but it has never been seen since. There is a guess that someone logged into the test bed and cleared it without permission, but it was not able to be verified. Hence the bug was created to investigate the code, turned up nothing, and was junked accordingly.
    What you might want to do is keep a sharp eye on the counter. When it looks like it rolls, login to the context you are polling and take a look at the accounting log. If you find that someone cleared the logging, that answers the question. If not - log a TAC case and we can replicate your exact configuration/code version in our lab to see if there what the deviation is that causes it to clear. A bug would be logged and fixed.

  • Will Cisco sa520w interface with ProCurve 2626/2650? is the sa520w overkill?

    Hey,
    The company I work for recently bought another company. At the new company there is an old expired Firebox X 550e. I am planning to replace an old expired Firebox X 550e with a Cisco sa520w. Will the Cisco sa520w interface with ProCurve 2626 & ProCurve 2650 switches?
    Would you recomand a different security appliance/router than the Cisco sa520w. The main business needs are hardware firewall, VPN access for MAC (snow leopard & lion) and Windows xp/7 pro.
    The other router I have been looking at: RV220W.
    If i got the sa520w i would ge the 3 year IPS + ProtectLink Web bundle.
    Recommendations are welcome.
