Wow...that was a mouthful of a title!
Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. There is an application that is having issues. This application is being load balanced by the ACE. The ACE is configured in a One-Armed design. Essentially the application flow is as follows:
client --> ACE VIP --> SNAT Pool --> rserver and then the reverse.
The vlan for my ACE is 3002. It is the only vlan in this context. I have a WildPackets OmniEngine connected to port on the 6500. Here is its config:
interface GigabitEthernet x/xx
switchport
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
switchport capture
switchport capture allowed vlan 3002
no ip address
no cdp enable
Here is the problem. When I take a trace I only see the back half of the conversation. That is I only see from the SNAT pool IPs to the rservers and back. I need to be able to see the conversation between the client IPs and the VIP. Does anyone know how this can be done? If you need more details or have questions please fire away! Thanks for the help...
