Single CSS L3 link redundancy

I have a single CSS11506 whose job is to load balance 4 web servers. I have two 1Gbps uplinks to the network - each goes to an L3 only 6506. I need enable the second link for failover purposes. How can I fail over to the second link with the following considerations in mind
1. Users still need to get to the same vip address(http) 2. No routing protocols enabled on the CSS 3. The rest of the network needs to understand how to redirect to the secondary link 4. The primary link comes back up after the link is restored 5. How to get around the rule that two uplinks cannot be in the same vlan

"5. How to get around the rule that two uplinks cannot be in the same vlan"
I don't believe there is such a rule. You can have both uplinks configured with the same VLAN. This is normally used to bridge traffic "through" the CSS though. I've never tried dual-homing a CSS as I have dual CSS's in all of my production implementations.
I'd try configuring both uplinks for the same VLAN, and configuring an HSRP VLAN on your 6509's. The HSRP hello traffic would pass through the CSS to get to the opposite switch. i.e. treat the CSS like a regular access layer ethernet switch.
With VLAN autostate and/or interface tracking on the 6509, a failure of an uplink would cause the backup HSRP partner to go primary and the traffic would begin taking the other link.

Using a single CSS to load balance multiple services

Is it possible to use a single CSS to load balance 3 different services (server farm) ? That mean the CSS need to advertise 3 VIP
I'm thinking of two scenarios:
1 - configure the CSS to use 4 interfaces: 1 to public, 3 to private (each interface will plug-in to a different vlan/server farm)
2 - configure the CSS to use 2 interfaces: 1 to public, 1 to private (all 3 server farms are in the same vlan)
Will both scenarios work ?
Thanks
--Phillip.

Hi Phillip,
both scenarios will work. One CSS can certainly manage more than 3 services! You can even use just one VIP for all traffic, then just create the proper rules to send specific traffic to the corresponding service(s). No need for 3 VIPs.

CSS Button Links in HTML email not working in TB

Greetings,
Our company is creating an html email for customers and we are noticing the CSS button links don't work when viewing in Thunderbird 31 and 32 beta.
Does TB require unique coding to get these to work?
Any assistance would be appreciated...
-- Paul

From the point of view of a user who views received email messages in Thunderbird, it doesn't support scripting. Straight links should work and and you can attach a link to an image.
Note that Thunderbird does NOT offer active links in the Compose window. So however you create it, you won't see it as the recipient does unless you save it and view it as a draft.

My Flash .swf nestled under my CSS, .swf links not working

I added some links in actionscript in my swf file and they work great but once inserted into my Dreamweaver file under my CSS the links are not responding. I know that I had to set up the CSS so that the .swf would fit into a desired shape but is there a way to have the links work above the CSS while still looking the way it does?
http://grizzlyutah.com/Grizzly_Graphics_Test

Hello Scott,
I'll try it once more, 'cause I want to understand AND learn. I used your swf file in my new testside:
http://dala-laegret1963.de/FlaSwfGrizz.php
and linked it, as you can see if you move with your cursor over the swf file. You will see the description:
"Grizzly_Graphics.swf with link to http://www.grizzlyutah.com/Grizzly_Graphics_Test/products_trade_show_graphics.html".
When you now click into your swf file "Grizzly_Graphics.swf" you will be conducted to your
http://www.grizzlyutah.com/Grizzly_Graphics_Test/products_trade_show_graphics.html.
My other two buttons - which can be integrated into a website - I've left in their function as an example, if you/one needs more links.

CSS Box-box redundancy image upgrade

Hi
Please, what is the best pratice to upgrade CSS image without losing service to serverfarm.(image are stored on flash).
The css are in redundancy mode.
(ip redundancy & redundancy-phy are configured)
(1) If ip redundancy master is configure temporarily on the active CSS,then after upgrading the image on the Backup CSS(to a different image),
can redundancy force-master be use on the upgraded CSS to force is to be the master.
So that upgrade can be carried on the other CSS.
(2) If the image have been ftp-ed to the two css,
will changing the primary boot on one of the css automatically recognise the correct image in order that the CSS will be in redundancy mode.
or any method that will prevent both CSS becoming master due to different image .
Thanks

you will need console access to both CSS to change the primary boot file manually on both of them.
Then, reboot the backup CSS.
Once it is up, configure 'ip redundancy master' so the CSS will become the master.
Once master, reboot the other CSS.
However, there will be traffic lost as the backup CSS is in a down state. The CSS will have to bring up interfaces and start keepalives.
Also, all active connections will be lost because this solution is not stateful.
Finally, I would like to say that I always recommend vip/interface redundancy [unless you are doing fwlb] as with this solution the backup CSS is *alive* [no need to bring up interfaces and start keepalives], it has faster failover, we have better control on redundancy parameters, and it is stateful if combine with ASR.

Gilles.

CSS 11151 VIP Redundancy - Link State Redundancy/Keepalive

I have a pair of CSS 11151 each connected to a pair of cross-connected 3550 switches,I've configured VIP & Interface Redundacy,either VLAN1 interface or VLAN2 interface is shut down will cause the virtual router switchover. Recently I met some problem with CSS switchover when just one VLAN1 interface shutdown, and I was told that "type redundancy-up" should not work with VIP redundant mode, so I am trying to configure a critical service with a keepalive ap-kal-pinglist and ping all the circuit vlan's ip address on the CSS itself. but I am still confuse with some aspects.
1. Should I configure two separate virtual router for two circuit VLANs?
2. How to configure the service IP address? Because two 3550 have separate vlan ip address, and did not configured HSRP.
3. The script on my CSS is different with document, can I edit a new ap-kal-pinglist script to replace it?
Here's my config...
!************ INTERFACE *********************
interface 2
bridge vlan 2
!**************** CIRCUIT **************************
circuit VLAN1
ip address 10.0.2.33 255.255.255.128
ip virtual-router 1 priority 100
ip redundant-interface 1 10.0.2.29
ip critical-service 1 sw1-up-down
ip critical-service 1 sw2-up-down
circuit VLAN2
ip address 10.0.2.133 255.255.255.240
ip virtual-router 1 priority 100
ip redundant-interface 1 10.0.2.129
ip redundant-vip 1 10.0.2.132
ip critical-service 1 gateway

I would recommend an upgrade to version 7.40 in order to get the 'reporter' functionality.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_command_reference_chapter09186a008028fe6c.html
A reporter let you define which ports you want to monitor and when to failover [all ports down or any port down].
If you can't use 7.40, here is an answer to your question :
1. it does not matter. The vrid is used to differentiate other instances of VRRP that could exist on the same VLAN.
2. if you plan to use an ap-kal-pinglist, the service ip address really does not matter. The keepalive will use the ip addresses that you will pass to the ap-kal-pinglist function
3. you can modify the script and upload it back to the CSS. However, I would recommend using a different name in case you need the original script in the future.

Gilles.

Every single website, or link within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu. How can I stop this? This just started happening.

Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
How can I stop this? This just started happening.
I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
Firefox 3.0.17
Windows XP
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.17) Gecko/2009122116 Firefox/3.0.17

A possibility is to open the links via the right-click context menu or a middle-click in a new tab to make sure that Firefox sees them as regular links.

CSS for links display differently in Safari and Firefox

Hello all,
I am having some link display problems. The CSS code for my link display is as follows:
#sidebar_1 a{
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
#sidebar_1 a:link{
color: #CCC;
#sidebar_1 a:visited{
color: #000;
#sidebar_1 a:hover, #sidebar_1 a:active, #sidebar_1 a:focus{
color: #000;
Unfortunately, the website is not live yet so I can't direct you to it.
What happens: in Firefox, mousing over a link causes it to go black; but when the link is clicked and the new page has loaded, the link goes back to being gray even though the linked page is active. However, in Safari the links for visited pages stay black. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

#sidebar_1 a:vistied {
color:#000;
is stating that all visited links in the #sidebar_1 div to be black. Are you saying that all visited links are black, outside the sidebar_1 div?

Using CSS with Linked Report Field

I'm using the CSS Style width:150px on a report column that has a link. However, when using a CSS Style on linked column the formatting doesn't work. If I remove the link the width setting takes effect. How can I correct this? If I embedded the link URL in the query data it will format fine so there appears to be something different happen when Application Express generate the link.

When a report column is rendered as a hyperlink, the CSS style you specify is not used, that is used only for regular report columns.
Try putting your style as style="width:150px;" in the Link Attributes in the Column Link section (where you specify the other hyperlink details)

CSS - Visited Link format won't apply

Hello,
The following is a column that I have in a table, and its cells are all hyperlinks that trigger some AJAX. The hyperlink works great. However, I would like the background color to turn white after the link has been clicked. It seems like this could be easily done with CSS, but it's not working as I would expect. Here is the code I have for the column:
print "<td class='ballot'>".'<span class="button" id="button'.$row['id'].'">'.'<a href="javascript:;" class="cell1" id="'.$row['id'].'">'.Vote.'</a>'.'</span>'."</td>";
I have the following CSS applied to the column:
table.navbar td a.cell1:link {
   color: #000;
   background-color: #A7E6FE;
   text-decoration: none;
   text-align: center;
   vertical-align:middle;
   height: 14px;
table.navbar td a.cell1:visited {
   color: #fff;
   background-color: #fff;
   text-decoration: none;
   text-align: center;
   vertical-align:middle;
   height: 14px;
.ballot { width: 40px;
a.ballot:visited {
   color: #FFFFFF;
   background-color: #FFFFFF;
I would expect this CSS to make the column turn white (color #FFFFFF) after its link has been clicked, but it's not happening. Any ideas why my CSS is not working?
Thanks in advance,
John

OK, below I listed the entire table, and all of the CSS that applies. The table has three columns, everything works great, but I want the background of the cells in third column to turn color #FFFFFF after they are clicked. I do not want the background of the cell in the first column to change color when it is clicked. Thanks.

How to fix CSS sheet linked to HTML? Pic Included!

http://i48.tinypic.com/300z8dz.jpg
As you can see in that picture above, I move all my styles to a new sheet away from my HTML <head> and I linked it to the HTML file. The background went away so I relinked the background and for some reasons it made the css for my background in my <head> tab instead of my CSS stylesheet. Any help??

Open your external CSS file in code view.
Re-link the background-image. Save.
This should correct the path to your image file.

CSS a:link not working in browser

Hello all,
Every time I have tied to add the a:link pseudo class to a
page, it affects the links in design view correctly (according to
the style I've applied to the a:link) but it never shows up when I
preview in Firefox or IE. This happens regardless of whether the
a:link is in a document specific CSS file or external. My a:hover
styles work fine. Seems like I'm missing something basic.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Scott

Without seeing the page in question, what's the a:visited
style like? And
make sure you declare them in the order: link, visited,
hover, active. You
might be seeing the visited style color when you're looking
at the page in
the browser.

Configure single CSS as authoritative dns server

Hi Experts,
I have one CSS11501 acting as the load balancer. And all the servers are in private network behind it. We need to configure an authoritative dns server for this web domain. I want to use this CSS to be the dns server. I saw that there are some advance configuration notes about configuring dns server
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/data_center_app_services/css11000series/v6.10/configuration/advanced/guide/DNS.html
I wonder if I only use a single server, what the configuration is needed? is there an example. Most of the documents have the example for multiple CSS in global server load balancing environment.
We currently only have standard feature license. I wonder if we have to purchase the 'enhanced feature set' to implement this function?
Only the command 'add dns xxx.xxx.com' under content rule could be used in the standard software. Is this sufficient enough to be as dns server?
Thanks for your help in advance.

licensing hasn't changed for the CSS in a long time.
So this old document still applies
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a0080094a76.shtml
The Enhanced feature set contains all components of the Standard feature set and also includes:
Network Address Translation (NAT) Peering
Domain Name Service (DNS)
Demand-Based Content Replication (Dynamic Hot Content Overflow)
Content Staging and Replication
Network Proximity DNS
Content Routing Agent
Client Side Accelerator

Dreamweaver CS4 CSS file links updating problem

Hi apologies if this question has already been asked, the
search tool does not seem to be working.
I have recently installed DW CS4. When you open a page all
the related files open too so the CSS linked file also opens
however, if i try to update the CSS file from here when i come to
save, i get a message box asking if i want to 'update links'? If i
say yes it updates all the links in my CSS file from ../images to
the full path of the images and this then creates problems with the
site. If i say no, it then tells me that my CSS file contains an
invalid path and then prompts me to 'update links?' again.
If i open the CSS file separately in DW i dont have any
problems.
This is really annoying me, if anyone can help i would be
grateful!

Thanks for your replies. I updated my Nvidia video card driver and I deleted the Cache file per the instructions in the link above. Unfortunately I'm still getting the Lockup.
It locks when I use the CSS panel for a period of time. What's odd is that the CSS panel remains active and I can edit and make changes to the CSS rules. The rest of the interface locks up. The code/design window the menu bar etc. I have to close down DW with the task manger. when I do that I get asked if I want to save the changes to the open files and the changes get saved. But the entire user interface except for the css panel is frozen. Weird.
The link above suggest deleting the entire personal configuration folder and the extension manager folder. this seems pretty sever and then it seems I would have to re-install the extensions that I have and etc. Perhaps that's what I have to do? This regular lockup is a pain. Like I said the rest of my system and other apps (fireworks, Photoshop, etc) are all rock solid. The problem is strictly with DW.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
