FSWM and Netscaler.

julrodrig — Mon, 11 Mar 2019 16:54:16 GMT

We have 2 FWSM in Active / Active mode. for one of those context.

The another context, now it's in test mode, and we like to protect some segment of servers, in this segment we have Two Citrix Netscaler to provide

load balance to a web service that we needs, using only one IP Virtual address.(10.11.33.48)

The segment of the servers and netscalers is 10.11.33.xx /24; When we put the segment in the inside interface of the context of FWSM, the Nestcalers don't work. using the virtual ip on any browser the page don't appears.

There any idea of what's wrong ???

The netscaleres needs some type of inspect ??

Thanks

Seems like pretty simple config. Citrix directly connected to the higher security interface which has permit ip any any.

What do the logs say when this breaks when you try to access the virtual IP from the other side of the firewall?

sh logg | i 10.11.33.x

I am assuming you have no nat-control.

sh run all | i nat-control

Any luck? We are seeing the same problem. When we have the Netscaler interfaces are behind the FWSM, we can't connect. When we move the Netscaler interfaces behind a plain old routed link they work great. We also did some packet captures and can see that the Netscaler is sending a RST back to the inquiring host. We are doing captures on the Netscaler and on the host, and both agree that the Netscaler is sending the RST. Once the Netscaler is moved to a routed network not behind the fwsm, everything works fine.

Also we do not see anything in the logs about something being blocked. We also tried it with http inspect on and off.

There are a few things the FWSM does to the draffic by default.

1) TCP Sequence number randomization. You can disable this:

access-list no_tcp_seq_rand_acl permit tcp x.x.x.0 255.255.255.0 y.y.y.0 255.255.255.0
!
class-map no_tcp_seq_rand_class
   match access-list no_tcp_seq_rand_acl
!
policy-map global_policy
   class no_tcp_seq_rand_class
   set connection random-sequence-number disable

2) Change the TCP MSS to 1380. To disable this:

sysopt connection tcpmss 0

If neither of these help, I would run some captures and make sure there is no asymmetric routing. Any irregularites in the TCP flows will be dropped by the FWSM and as soon as that connection is reset, all subsequent traffic will be dropped until a new 3-way handshake starts a new session.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Brendan

And a complete wild stab in the dark from me. We had a similar issue using some encryption devices behind an ASA which worked fine behind a 3800 router. Turns out the ASA was stripping some of the TCP options from the handshake. We had to write a service policy to put them back in.

We worked it out by performing a wireshark capture on the inside and outside interfaces at the same time and looking at how the packets differed before and after they had been processed by the ASA.
