Flowmask TCAM NAT Performance c6509

Hi,

I have a cisco WS-C6509 running IOS s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9-M, Version 12.2(33)SXI5

with a WS-SUP720-3B Rev 5.2 + WS-SUP720 MSFC3 Daughterboard Rev. 2.5.

I was wondering if something is wrong with my config, as

sh fm fie flowmask shows:

Primary Flowmasks registered by Features

----------------------------+------------------------+---------------------

          Feature                   Flowmask             Flowmask Status

----------------------------+------------------------+--------------------- IP_ACCESS_INGRESS               Intf Full Flow            Enabled IP_ACCESS_EGRESS                Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused
NAT_INGRESS                     Intf Full Flow            Enabled NAT_EGRESS                      Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused
TCP_INTERCEPT                   Full Flow Least           Disabled/Unused IPV6_RACL_INGRESS               Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused IPV6_RACL_EGRESS                Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused INSPECT                         Full Flow                 Disabled/Unused WCCP_INGRESS                    Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused WCCP_EGRESS                     Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused SLB                             Full Flow Least           Disabled/Unused FM_SVC_ACCLRT                   Intf Full Flow            Disabled/Unused IPV6_COPY_INGRESS               Src only                  Disabled/Unused

Shouldn't Flowmasks for IP_ACCESS_EGRESS and NAT_EGRESS also be enabled for maximum performance?

Here the uplink configuration:

core#sh run in g1/1           

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 178 bytes

!

interface GigabitEthernet1/1

description UPLINK

switchport

switchport access vlan 555

no cdp enable

spanning-tree bpduguard disable

end

core#sh run in vlan555

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 319 bytes

!

interface Vlan555

description VLAN555

ip address 88.43.2.34 255.255.255.252

ip access-group uplink_in in

ip access-group uplink_out out

ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx allow-default

no ip redirects

no ip unreachables

no ip proxy-arp

ip nat outside

no ip mroute-cache

tcam priority high

end


core#sh ip route static | i 0.0.0.0/0

S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 88.43.2.33

Here one user network + nat config:

core#sh run in vlan180                     

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 186 bytes

interface Vlan180

description helpdesk

ip address 172.16.180.1 255.255.255.0

ip access-group helpdesk_in in

ip access-group helpdesk_out out

ip nat inside

ip flow ingress

tcam priority high

end

ip dhcp pool helpdesk

   network 172.16.180.0 255.255.255.0

   default-router 172.16.180.1

   lease 0 0 5


ip access-list standard helpdesk_nat

permit 172.16.180.0 0.0.0.255


ip nat translation icmp-timeout 5

ip nat pool helpdesk_pool 88.43.2.42 88.43.2.42 prefix-length 24

ip nat inside source list helpdesk_nat pool helpdesk_pool overload


Any thoughts?

Best Regards, Justus

Allright: here the solution: There was a feature conflict on a totally different

inferface and this seems to affect the whole device.

So do not use RACL + ip nat inside + ip flow ingress at the same time
