WAE 674 Max TCP Connections

Does anyone know how many TCP connections the 674 will support with various memory options?
TIA
mike

Mike,
The WAE-674 will support the following memory/connection options:
4GB = 2,000 Connections
8GB = 6,000 Connections

  • WAE-512-1G Optimized TCP Connections

    Hi all,
    Regarding the Sizing Capabilities of a WAE-512-1G Appliance, what is the meaning of the "Optimized TCP Connections" ?
    Is this parameter related only from the initiated point ? or from both directions?
    I'm asking this because, after instaling in inline configuration, a point-to-point circuit only, (2 WAE's + 1 CM), in the Branch WAE we had a Minor Alarm saying that we have reached the TFO Limitation, and on the ohter end, we haven't that alarm.
    Most of the traffic(connections), should be from the Branch to the Central Site.
    So, the main question is, if this parameter is related to from where the connection is initiated.
    Best Regards,
    Bruno Petrónio

    The branch Cisco WAE applies a new TCP option (0x21) to the packet if the application is identified for optimization by an application classifier. The branch Cisco WAE adds its device ID and application policy support to the new TCP option field. This option is examined and understood by other Cisco WAEs in the path as the ID and policy fields of the initial Cisco WAE device. The initial ID and policy fields are not altered by another Cisco WAE. The packet is forwarded to the branch router and then to the WAN.

  • WAAS - TCP Connection High-Water Mark

    Is there a way to tell the historical statistic for maximum number of TCP connections in a WAE? We are in the middle of a deployment and I am wondering how well we sized our HQ cluster.

    Through CM dashboard -> manage devices and go to edge or core device, you will be able to see the connections for each device.
    The other option, is to check and see if you are seeing a lot of bypass traffic.
    Once WAAS reaches max, traffic will be bypassed until max sessions drops

  • WAE 674 booting issues

    I am having issues with my WAE 674.
    Powered on for the first time and was hanging at the booting the kernel screen.
    Then used the software recovery CD waas-rescue-cdrom-4.4.1.12-npe-k9.iso, it went through all the steps of installation.
    After reboot it hangs at booting the kernel, it does not move from this point. Nothing on the hyperterminal.
    I have attached the screenshot.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Suhail.

    Hi Suhail,
    How are you connected to the WAE?
    If you are directly connected to the WAE through a screen/keyboard, I believe that what you see is expected: the WAAS software stop redirecting it's console output on the screen after booting it's kernel and move it to the serial port.
    This is explained in the hardware specs of your device:
    You can connect a keyboard to any USB port and  connect a monitor to the video connector to troubleshoot the BIOS boot  process. However, video output is for troubleshooting only during the  BIOS boot process. The video output stops displaying when the serial  port becomes active. To monitor the boot process in normal operation,  use the serial console port.

    Could you have a look at the boot sequence from the serial port and see if everything looks fine from there?

  • Limit of concurrent tcp connections for 2012 Essential

    Hello!
    I looking for what is the max number of concurrent tcp connections on windows 2012 r2 essential..
    I didn'f find answers on here or on the web
    Any help wold be appreciate.
    thanks

    Hi,
    There is no official article related to that. However, based on my experience, there is a registry key to define the maximum number of connections that TCP can have open simultaneously.
    You can check the key of TcpNumConnections in registry editor under the path below:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
    If there is no such registry existing, you can add one and configure the value from 0x0–0xFFFFFE(REG_DWORD). (0 means that you cannot establish any connections)

  • Clearing TCP Connections

    Hi,
    Is there a WAAS command that will allow me to clear a TCP connection thats been hung for 500+ hours? The WAE is running 4.0.13.b23.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks Zach,
    The app (the only app I've had issue with) in question is a home grown product and I'm not quite sure whats causing the WAE to keep connections so long. I've check asymetric routing etc...but traffic is routing correclty. I think it's an app issue but the developers here don't like it when I say that:) My local SE and CCIE worked on this alittle last week in there lab but I had to finally remove the client and server from my WCCP ACL at the central location. Once I did that it removed the hung connections at the remote WAE (it's inline at the site) but when I logged into the 7300 at the central location I noticed they never cleared on that device. It's not building any new connections just hanging onto the old....for instance some have been open for 1000+ hours. I just don't want to force a reboot to get them cleared but it looks like my only option.

  • WAE-674 running 5.1.1.d code

    WAE-674 running 5.1.1.d code. The WAE-674 stops working until a reboot or move to another switch port.  Are there any known connectivity issues?

    Does the switch show any errors on the port before it stops communicating?  "Show Logg" on switch to see if it is giving any errors.  Are you using WCCP or inline for communication?  Is it the management port (WCCP port) or the inline port that is losing communication?  I was on 5.1.1c with no issues before I went to 5.3.1, never went to 5.1.1d
    If you think it is a version issue, do a quick upgrade to see if it resolves the issue.  It is already unreliably bouncing, an upgrade will not hurt any more.  Or, even a  downgrade to what you were running before 5.1.1.d.  Did the issue begin right after you upgraded to 5.1.1.d?  Is that why you believe it is the code version causing the issue?

    Could I be having these issues because I am using a monitor and keyboard not a console cable?
    Old style console cable not available. equipment is difficult to procure because I'm in the middle of nowhere.
    Could the issues be because of the 64bit architecture of WAE-674 i.e could I be using the wrong recovery disk?
    Attached are images of the device booting when recovery CD is not inside the device.

    Hi Kristof,
    The problem is that as soon as the serial port becomes active, the device stops displaying the output to the screen/keyboard so you'll really need an "old style" console cable to see what is really happening with your device.

    Hi,
    This counter on the 3750 is a software counter, but all WCCP redirection should be happening in hardware.  Thus, it is expected the number of redirected packets to be zero or very low.  The proper way to tell if WCCP is redirecting traffic to your WAE is to issue the command "show wccp gre" on the WAE and look for the line "transparent non-GRE packets received."
    Example:
    pdi-7341-19#sh wccp gre
    Transparent GRE packets received:              0
    Transparent non-GRE packets received:          28887345
    Transparent non-GRE non-WCCP packets received: 0

    Packets received with invalid service:         0
    Packets received on a disabled service:        0
    Packets received too small:                    0

  • WAAS/WAVE snmp monitoring of TCP connection count

    hi everyone,
    i'm wondering if it's possible to query the amount of TCP connections via snmp, that are handled by a wae.
    it's an important characteristic value to check if optimization is working properly.
    looked over the several MIB documented in the latest config guide, but unfortunately got no clue...
    can anyone help?
    thanks in advance!

    This statistics is currently not instrumented through SNMP.  You can, however, access this statistics through the following methods:

  • CSS11000 - Configuring Maximum TCP Connections

    Hi,
    Maybe this is a stupid question. But I'm going to ask it anyway :)
    If I set the max connection on a service can I redirect the connections that are over the max connection to an error page?
    Or I'm I looking in the wrong place. I'll try to explain what I’m trying to do.
    I want to protect my application servers, if my application servers reaches a certain threshold I want to redirect the connection to a error page.
    How should I tackle this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Geert

    Hi Gilles,
    First of all I wanted to thank you for help. Very kind of you to take time helping us.
    Second of all I want to apologies for my first post. I should have been clearer about the problem.
    Let me try again.
    Our web servers connect to our backend vip. Now the specific application doesn’t like being switched from one server to the other while in the same session. We tried to solve this problem but we didn’t succeed.
    Now we gave up balancing that application.
    But now we want to set a limit on how much connections can flow to that one application server. So the application server won’t give up under high load.
    Now when the load goes above a certain value we want to display an error page. Something like sorry try again later. But if server 1 crashes we want all connection goes to server 2. We don’t want the connections to go to server 2 when the max of connections is reached. Because than we want to see the error page.
    When I tried to create a redirect service to an url I got :
    %% Cannot have a redirect service on a Layer 4 rule.
    Now the redirect to an error page isn’t a real must. More a nice to have. But what we would like is that the server2 only takes over if server1 is down and not when the max connections is reached.
    Now this is what I have by now. But now I’m a little bit stuck. We noticed than if we are load testing the webserver thinks app1 is down because it reaches the max connections and goed to server two. Witch we don’t want.

  • ASA 5505:Static Routing and Deny TCP connection because of bad flag

    Hi Everybody,
    I have a problem. I made a VPN site-2-site with 2 ASA 5505. The VPN works great. And I create a redondant link if the VPN failed.
    In fact, I use Dual ISP with route tracking. If the VPN fails, the default route change to an ISDN router, situated on the inside interface.
    When I simulated a VPN fail, the ASAs routes switch automatically on backup ISDN routers. If I ping elements, it works great. But when i try TCP connection like telnet, the ASAs deny connections:
    %PIX|ASA-6-106015: Deny TCP (no connection) from 172.16.10.57/35066 to 172.16.18.1/23 flags tcp_flags on interface interface_name.
    the security appliance discarded a TCP packet that has no associated connection in the security appliance connection table. The security appliance looks for a SYN flag in the packet, which indicates a request to establish a new connection. If the SYN flag is not set, and there is not an existing connection, the security appliance discards the packet.
    thanks!
    EDIT: On the schema, The interface of the main asa is 172.16.18.148...

    Check if the xlate timer is set greater than or equal to what the conn timer, so as not to have connections waiting on xlates that no longer exist. To minimize the number of attempts, enable "service resetinbound" . The PIX will reset the connection and make it go away. Without service resetinbound, the PIX Firewall drops packets that are denied and generates a syslog message stating that the SYN was a denied connection.

  • Opening and closing Multiple TCP connection​s issues

    Hi all I am having an issue with the TCP VI’s and wondering if anyone has experienced this issue.
    My application is required to scan 50-100 IP addresses (statically assigned) and discover if an Ethernet device is connect at that IP address. Currently I am able to achieve this by opening a TCP connection and testing the error cluster to determine if a timeout has occurred (no timeout error  means Ethernet device available at the IP address). I then ensure that the TCP connections are closed.
    The issue I am have is that I require a 1 second delay between the  TCP open and the TCP close which significantly slows down the process. Without the 1 second delay the vi successfully connects to the device once then fails to make any TCP connect regardless of the time delay until the PC is reset.  
    If anyone has any advice I would be very grateful
    David Barr
    P.S. I have attached a simplified section of code showing this issue

    If I understand you correctly you want the time delay to be 1 second if there's a successful connection....
    While I don't have a specific answer for this problem. I want to clarify for him. I believe the issue is, what if all connections ARE there? That means you keep returning a wait of 1 second 50-100 times so It takes 50-100 seconds just to initialize. I think the user is looking for a way to check for valid connections, but do so in such a way that eliminates the need for a wait which is greatly slowing things down.

  • Anyone else having an issue with TCP connections using iCloud for Windows?

    Hi,
    Before I asked this question, I did wait to see if any related questions came up, but none did, so I submit it now.
    On my admittedly older laptop running Windows 7 64b Home, I've run into difficulties with the iCloud for Windows app to the extent that I had to uninstall it.
    It would that, as my laptop was running, in the background, iCloudServices.exe would endlessly iterate TCP connections, which, while not actively sending or receiving any data, after some hours would number over 100 instances, taking up resources, and grinding my laptop's WiFi connection to a grindingly slow pace. I ended up, within the app, turning off everything, iCloud Drive and Photos, (I never used bookmarks), but still this would continue to occur.
    I contacted Apple Support, explaining what was going on, and they stated they only dealt with IOS and gave me a Microsoft Support number. When I called Microsoft support, I came more and more to the realization that the issue was specifically with the iCloud for Windows app, as that was the only software that was endlessly creating and not closing TCP connections as it was. How was Microsoft supposed to solve an issue with Apple code?
    So I called Apple back, whereupon they insisted it was a Microsoft issue. I explained other cloud services installed on the same computer were not having the same issue, it was unique to ICloudServices.exe. They stated they only dealt with IOS. I stated I purchased an iPad Air less than 7 months ago, and was trying to run iCloud in support of that.  They again stated they only dealt with IOS, and suggested I again try Microsoft. I asked them if it was reasonable to expect Microsoft to solve issues with Apple code? They said regardless, there was zero support offered for anything having to do with Windows, and all I could do was uninstall the app, which I did, though that did not feel very satisfactory to me. My thinking is, if Apple writes a Windows app in support of their hardware, they should offer support for it.
    Anyway, I was just wondering, is this an issue unique to me? or have others experienced a similar issue? I found this issue by opening the Windows Resource Monitor, looking under the Networking tab, and scrolling through the TCP Connections section to find 100+ concurrent iCloudServices.exe instances listed, whereas even Chrome, with multiple tabs and extensions, topped out at around 20.
    My one month old Desktop, DYI, sports a solid Asus 1150 MoBo, i7-4790k cpu, 16GB Ram, and an EVGA GTX 970 video card. I list some specs only to illustrate this computer has no hardware issues in comparison to my long in tooth laptop. On this desktop, running Win 8.1 Pro 64b,  at least as many, identifiably Apple, background service TCP connections are created even compared to Chrome, regardless of many tabs being open, many extensions, and even some related apps. Adobe does not even come close, though I run the full CC subscription. On this new computer, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64b, there are currently over 50 TCP connections and loopbacks that do not identify themselves, with just a - for the Image, and PID. With the experience on my laptop, I wonder how many of these are generated by Apple software, if not specifically iCloud software?
    The frustrating aspect of these connections is they seem in no way active, While the Chrome and Adobe connections can be seen to be transferring data, as long as I am not running iTunes, or so have my iPad actually plugged in, it seems 99% of the time these iCloudServices.exe connections are just taking up ports, neither sending nor receiving any data discernable to me under the Processes with Network Activity, or Network Activity lists, both displayed in the same window as the TCP Connections in the Windows Resource Monitor.
    Though I am fairly ignorant as regards coding, it seems as if there is no call to close a connection, very specifically, iCloudServices.exe, when it is no longer needed, and the next time a connection is needed, a new one is opened, rather than accessing the one previously opened. The only other reason I could imagine this might be occurring is if my Norton Internet Security software might mask and/or block the port after a certain time of inactivity.
    Anyone out there have any ideas or advice about this? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks jared,
    I'm still dealing with this issue through Apple. Some time after I posted this, I contacted Apple again. They did start a case up for me, as I was experiencing the same behavior on two different machines, with two different versions of Windows.
    So far it remains unsolved. I've logged iClouds for Windows on my desktop, which is brand new, then logged for awhile after completely uninstalling Norton Security Suite, depending on the Microsoft security for some time, and finally logged after I uninstalled iCloud for Windows, restarted, installed a clean download, and connected using a completely different test account, which Apple set up for me. None of this made any difference. Looking at the logs, it seems every 10 minutes, iCloudServices.exe creates a new TCP connection to confirm I'm using less than 5GB on iCloud, (which I am by a good margin, using less than 2GB), it seems this connection is not closed, and when the next iteration rolls around 10 minutes later, a new TCP connection is created. I come very close to having 6 TCP connections created per hour, until I restart my computer. This works out to... 6 x 24 = 144/day.
    Perhaps the article you posted will shed some further light on this. I'm thinking seeing the state of the connection through netstats, at the least, could help.
    For the last week, I've been putting a hold on further logging, as Apple wants me to create a new user account on one of my computers, install iCloud for Windows there, and log it running in the other account. This however basically means I cannot use my computer for a fair number of hours, and I've been busy enough with work the past week that I haven't the time or energy to afford to set this up and run it. I've had need of my computers too much for the past week.

Maybe you are looking for
