ACE: rserver access to its own VIP

ahuffer
Level 1
Level 1

Can anyone be my second pair of eyes and confirm for me that this configuration is good? I am having problems doing source NAT from a real server to a VIP for which it is a service for.

The two real servers here are within a serverfarm for the VIP etrust2vip. The real servers themselves need to hit that VIP. In the configuration below I have a NAT applied to the server vlan (vlan71) to SNAT the packets destined for the VIP in the acl (enat).

'sh xlate' shows me nothing nor do I see any hits in 'sh conn'. The default gateway for the real servers is the alias address on vlan71.

The equipment I am working with is an ACE appliance with code 3.0(0)A1(7b).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the natpool that you use must be one existing on the outgoing interface.

So, since the incoming and outgoing interface are in this case the rserver vlan, you need to use the vlan 71.

you also need to add your vip policy to the vlan 71 interface so that traffic from the rserver can hit the vip.

So you need

policy-map multi-match vlan71-service

class SNAT

nat dynamic 1 vlan 71

AND

interface vlan 71

service-policy input vlan70-service
