Decommissioning ACE20-MOD-K9 - how to verify ALL traffic is migrated off?

[James Cook]

Hello there community,

I'm going to be shutting down a couple ACE20-MOD-K9 modules soon, but want to verify for 100% that there is ZERO traffic flowing on them.

What are commands I can use to ensure there is no traffic on them at all any more so it's safe to shut them down?

Thank You in advance.

Hi James,

"Sh conn" shall show you any connections established. If you don't see anything in source and destination except ACE IP's (including standby) and your own IP(because of telnet or ssh), then this indicates that there is no traffic coming on to these ACE's. Even the pass through traffic is part of " show conn" and that should tell you if you have any traffic. Run this command in each context.

Show resource usage all--->Can be run in Admin and shall give you an idea about all contexts.

show serverfarm summary

show service-policy summary

All these commands shall also show you any connections coming on to the ACE. You can clear all counters to have a good idea.

Hi Kanwal,

What you meant by pass through traffic?

Hi CF,

Pass through traffic refers to any traffic which is just passing through(routed) ACE and is not loadbalanced.

Hi Kanwal,

This pass through traffic situation can happen we we run int routed mode.

When we deploy in the one arm mode, we will not have any pass through traffic. Am I right?
