How to resolve "max_conn_overload" alarm from WAE-674 in WCCP mode?

gwhuang5398

Level 2

I have a WAVE-574 and a WAE-674 showing the minor alarm "max_conn_overload: The TFO accelerator is overloaded (connection limit)". Both are running WCCP redirection.

From CM GUI > Dashboard > Device > Monitor > Traffic Analysis > Connection Statistics, one device showed 175 connections and the other showed 864 connections. The alarm seems to say there's a limit of # of connections the TFO accerelator can handle. But how can I find the limit on the device? Is it configurable? What is the best practice to resolve this overload?

I have searched Cisco web sites for possible explanations, but couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance.

Gary,

What version of WAAS are you running?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan:

4.1.1c build 16 on all WAE and WAVE. All devices were ordered recently and shipped from Cisco within last a few weeks.

On the WAE, "sh statistics tfo" and "sh tfo detail" both show some numbers, but they don't seem to be corelated or match.

Thanks a lot

Gary,

There is a situation where routing loops can cause TFO overload and not show up in the stats (CSCsx68058). The stats/detection is fixed in 4.1.3, however the problems with routing loups still exist...

Look for errors in the syslog (opt_syn_rcv: Routing Loop

detected - Packet has our own devid. Packet dropped) or "sh stat TFO". See if you are seeing things like that which may be causing the TFO overload.

Hi Dan:

Thanks for the info. The TFO overload alarm was found on WCCP WAE and also Inline mode WAE. So probably not the routing loop issue. I looked at TFO stats, but not sure what numbers are good indications.

Can you take a look at the stats from the WCCP WAE-674?

Thanks a lot

Gary
