CSS 11052 - syn & synack

jose.neves
Level 1
Level 1

I have 2 CSS 11052 making server load balancing at layer 3 (with four web servers). I have a VIP addr to talk with clients and 2 FW1 "next generation) in Win200 servers between the CSS and the clients. My clients have some problems in the the establish of the session (http or https). When the session are established they work well.

With a sniffer near the client i saw the client send 2, 3, or more "syn" till they have the "synack" and the session are established.

With a sniffer between the CSS and the web servers i saw the "syn's" that are sent by the client and i saw "synack" for every "syn" till the session are established.

Where are the "synack" sent by the web servers?

Any idea?

are the servers directly connected to the CSS ?

Is the CSS the default gateway for the servers ?

Can the server bypass the CSS ?

What you have to make sure is that the server response goes through the CSS.

Check the destination mac address in the syn/ack and make sure this is the CSS.

Do you have ACL on the CSS ?

If so try to disable them.

Can we have the config of the CSS ? content rules and services.

Are the services seen as alive ?

Can you ping the VIP ?

Any transition with the service ?

As you can see there are many possibilities.

I would suggest to start by sending the config and a 'sho summary' and 'sho serv summary'.

Also make sure traffic goes back to the CSS.

Gilles.

I am curious as to why you asked if ACL was enabled.

I have a similar problem where I have web clients that access the Internet via a 11050. The client sends a SYN, the web server responds with SYNACK, the client then sends ACK. However, a sniffer on the Internet side of the CSS shows the CSS dropped the final ACK.

If I disable ACLs, the problem disappears.

Is there any relation?

The servers are connected to a 3524XL switch.

The CSS is the default gateway to the servers.

The server can bypass the CSS if we change the gateway, because the firewalls are in the same network.

I don´t have any ACL in the CSS

The services are alive.

I can ping the VIP.
