ip urlfiltering and route-maps

[cbuchmann]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with enabling a route-map and ip url filtering functionning properly. basically I have a router with 2 internet circuits: 1 T1 (Primary) and 1 DSL (Backup). My goal is to divert all internet traffic via the backup circuit to balance the load and give more bandwith to my business applications.

Once I enable the route map (to divert public internet traffic to my backup circuit) on my internal FA0/0 I can no longer filter traffic and everything is allowed! I verified connectivity to the URL server and everything seems fine... Am I missing some configuration steps on my route-map or interface to insure the traffic still gets filtered?

I'm running Cisco 2621 XM 12.4.10 Advance IP Services. My url filter profider is Websense. I'm also running DMVPN sourced from my T1 Interface.

Here is a subset of the routers running-config:

Carl,

You are using PBR with Object tracking, can I see that portion of the config ? (track 2).

For more information on Object tracking PBRs, please read http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/123t/123t_4/gtpbrtrk.htm

Hi Edison,

Thanks for your reply, I have included a bigger portion of the running config. I hope this helps.

note: aaa.aaa.aaa = first 3 octets of primary T1 circuit and bbb.bbb.bbb = first 3 octets of DSL circuit.

Thanks

Carl

If you don't mind and to verify the problem is not relate to the object tracking config, can you please use the next-hop command within the route-map without the track option ?

If it works, then put the object tracking back and post the output from typing

show ip sla monitor configuration

and

show ip sla monitor statistics

Thanks

[cbuchmann]

Hi Edison,

The track option is working fine and the traffic is going the predicted path. My problem is that once I apply the route-map the traffic no longer gets filtered via Websense...

We were able to reproduce the problem on a test router. We noticed that by turning off ip cef that the traffic was getting filtered again, and we could say it's a workaround for the issue. Is there an incompatibility with cef and route-maps??

Thanks

Carl

[Edison Ortiz]

Carl

With IP CEF enabled, the packet is fast switched so it's not being inspected in completion by the route-maps.

HTH,

[cbuchmann]

OK Thanks,

So what do you suggest? Can I disable ip cef for just that interface or for that route-map specifically?

IP Cef does help reduce the cpu load on my router, so I would prefer not having to disable it globally.

Thanks

Carl

[Edison Ortiz]

Carl,

You can use the interface command

no ip route-cache cef

to disable cef on the intended interface.

Please let us know how it works out.

Thanks

[cbuchmann]

Hi Edison,

The URL filtering does work when we turn off CEF, and it also works when we simply disable CEF on that interface only. So, yes, there is a workaround, but we really would like to run it with CEF... at this point I'm not sure if this is a bug or simply by design, as I was unable to find information on Cisco's Web site stating incompatibility between CEF, route-maps and inspect commands.

Thanks

Carl
