ACE Probe Config for Blue Coat Proxy TCP Port 74 NETRJS-4

Michael Mertens

We are running 4710's with A5(2.2). We use Blue Coat proxies for our internet connections, specifcally TCP port 74. So when we open up a browser connection to www.cisco.com, the HTTP GET is actually encapsulated in TCP port 74 netrjs-4. We want to load-balance these proxies with ACE and I'm trying to setup health probes, but the only ones that work are the tcp probes PROXY_BCC_PROBE and PROXY_PROBE. I'd like to have health probes that hit external websites, but I'm confused whether the "ip address" Probe sub command is all I need, and netrjs is simple encapsulation of the HTTP request (which is what it looks like on a sniffer). Does anyone have Blue Coat proxies/ACE working? If so, how are your probes configured?

Thanks,

probe tcp PROXY_BCC_PROBE

  port 8084

  interval 3

  passdetect interval 3

probe http PROXY_HTTP1_PROBE

  ip address 198.133.219.25

  port 74

  interval 3

  passdetect interval 3

  request method head url /index.html

  expect status 200 299

probe http PROXY_HTTP2_PROBE

ip address 198.133.219.25

  port 74

  interval 3

  request method get url /

  expect status 200 299

probe tcp PROXY_PROBE

  port 74

  interval 3

  passdetect interval 3

Hi,

I have seen this working for one of the customer.

probe http HTTPGET

  description Tests that www.gmail.com returns 302 redirect

  interval 10

  request method get url http://www.gmail.com

  expect status 302 302

If I modify your probe :

probe http PROXY_HTTP1_PROBE

  ip address 198.133.219.25

  port 74

  interval 3

  passdetect interval 3 

request method get url

  http://www.gmail.com

expect status 302 302

Give it a try and see if that helps.

regards,

Ajay Kumar
