ACE 4710 VIP not pingable even with "always" selected.

Hello, I have a somewhat complicated setup in order to allow one particular VIP to answer for the same serverfarm on two different ports (this was a previous question here.) Here is the scrubbed config below. The setup works, but the issue is that the VIP does not reply to pings. We use both the servers and the vip for monitoring internally. It is still operational on the ports it is balancing, but no setting for ping seems to work (Active, Primary, or Always.) What am I doing wrong here? The other sites I use stickys with respond for their VIPs. I'm assuming this one does not due to the more complicated policy map.

Hi,

If you do "show service-policy global detail" and if you see VIP "INSERVICE", it should ping fine. You have "loadbalance vip icmp-reply" which means that ACE VIP will ping even though serverfarm is not operational. Are you able to ping the VIP from  the ACE itself?

Output from that class from the show service-policy command. And no, it doesn't appear to be pingable from the ACE.

For what it's worth, none of my VIP's are pingable from the ACE. I think that has to do with me being in one-arm configuration, and using the NAT addresses per VIP. But all other VIPs are pingable from other sources on the subnet. With the exception of this VIP.

 

Hi,

Can you send me the show arp output as well as the show run complete output from the device?

Kanwal
