Hidden Serverfarm on ACE

[isa-aston-03]

While trying to decode the OIDs needed to monitor the connections to real servers, I noticed that the ServerFarm name and RealServer name, is encoded in the OID (ASCII Conversion in the OID).

What concerned me was that I walked the OID I had one extra ServerFarm I have not configured.

It is called AVS-SFARM and has a real server AVS-RSERVER.

It does not show up in the config, but I can see output from "show serverfarm AVS-SFARM" and "show rserver AVS-RSERVER"

Anyone shed any light on where this has come from? I'm intrigued.

Thanks

Phil.

you probably have an ace appliance - not the module.

The appliance comes with an AVS onboard.

This product has caching functions.

When ACE needs to use those functions it will send the traffic internally to the AVS device.

Therefore a hidden avs rserver and serverfarm are needed.
