Interoperability issues with cache servers

Interoperability issues with cache servers
The defaults for many of the ServerIron ADX’s parameters are applicable to most TCS
environments. However, depending on the brand of cache server you use, you might need to make
minor modifications either to the cache server or to the ServerIron ADX for interoperability.
CacheFlow server version 2.x.x and 3.x.x
These versions send HTTP error code 503 in response to an HTTP keepalive health check sent by
the ServerIron ADX. By default, the ServerIron ADX does not consider this to be a valid health check
response. To work around this issue, configure status code 503 to be a valid response to the health
check. To do so, enter the port http status_code 503 503 command at the configuration level for
the cache server. This issue has not been observed with CacheFlow version 1.x.x.
NetCache servers
When the ServerIron ADX sends a packet to a NetCache server, by default the server addresses its
replies to the packet to the source MAC address of the packet, instead of replying to the MAC
address of the server's default gateway. This causes problems, especially in one-arm routing
configurations.
To work around this issue, enter the following commands on the NetCache server.
priv set advanced
show config.system.fast_ip.enable
set config.system.fast_ip.enable off
NetCache C720 cache server
This model of cache server sends HTTP error code 500 in response to an HTTP keepalive health
check sent by the ServerIron ADX. By default, the ServerIron ADX does not consider this to be a
valid health check response. To work around this issue, configure status code 500 to be a valid
response to the health check. To do so, enter the port http status_code 500 500 command at the
configuration level for the cache server.
CSW with NetCache cache servers
When the ServerIron ADX redirects a TCP SYN to a cache server, the ServerIron ADX uses the
ServerIron ADX port's MAC address as the source MAC address and the cache server's MAC
address as the destination MAC address. The source and destination IP addresses are not
changed. The source IP address is the client's and the destination IP address is the Web site the
client is requesting.
When the ServerIron ADX receives the SYN-ACK from the cache server, the ServerIron ADX expects
the destination MAC address in the cache server's reply to belong to the destination IP address (the
requested Web site). The ServerIron ADX does not expect the destination MAC address to be the
ServerIron ADX port's MAC address.
If you are using a NetCache cache server, you must enable the server to respond appropriately to
the ServerIron ADX. To do so, access the following URL on the Netcache server:
http:// cache_IP_address:3132/cache_config/ui_toggle_basic
