• vShield Networking - configure NAT rules directly in vShield Mnager

  Hello

  I tried to configure a NAT rule to enable access for external network users that is not routable vsphere Client i.e. the plugin for vShield manager to the internal network. I have found no documentation for this. Now, if I place a load balancer it automatically creates a NAT rule. Don't know why I can't do the same thing using NAT exclusively. Someone out there who has done the basic NAT using vShield Edge between 2 distinct networks (L2)?

  I realized what was wrint with my setup. The EDGE is deployed in a lab where we have the internal network, access to the outside, but not the reverse. Thus, we had another gateway on the virtual machine and therefore return traffic never returned to the edge gateway. If it was a problem with my knowledge of NAT.

• vShield Edge balancer to load within vCloud Director?

  Hi all

  I had a long week, installation and configuration vCloud Director. So far, it looks great.

  However, I wanted to create a paralytic with 2 web servers and a LoadBalancer (vShield Edge device) in front of them. I just don't seem to be able to find anything about how I activate on the web site of vCloud Director. I can do the NAT and firewall, but balancing is missing ... I'm sure it's there somewhere, I'm just not see it!

  Can someone point me to the right direction?

  Bgrds,

  Finnzi

  This requires the additional license for vShield edge and configure vShield to vCenter PLugin.  There is no user interface in vCD interface to configure the load balaning VSE again.  1.5 introduces the possibility to configure VPN (if authorized), through vCD, but not the LB function again.

• Advancing the Straight Edge configuration in the Vision Assistant

  Hello world

  I used the function advance Straight Edge with Vision Assistant who I little understand but this is not enough for what I'm trying to achieve. I tried to find some info on the underlying theory, but the only thing I found is the help document for it, which provides details on the different variables only.

  Could you please tell me where I could find a good source of information on edge configurations right ahead?

  Thank you  

  Take a look at the NIVisionConcepts.chm you could find under ...\National Instruments\Vision\Documentation.

• SSH on vShield Edge using Java CCES

  I am trying to connect to vShield Edge using jsch for SSH connection library.

  Connection to a linux server it works perfectly, but connected to the vShield edge server, the output is:

  vtysh: invalid option-'c '.

  Try "vtysh - help ' for more information.

  What it means?

  The connection seems to work correctly, I think the problem is the command I want exec ('list' command).

  I tried many commands, but I always have the same answer.

  I also used this methos Java to set the Pty:

  (Channel) .setPtyType ("vt100") (ChannelExec);

  Can I define another type?

  Thank you all

• VShield edge Nic

  Hello world

  I installed VSphere 5.5, 5.5 VCloud and VShield 5.5 for a test. Everything seems fine. But when I create an organization VDC and add an EDGE gateway for him, the automatic system create a VM VSE under "system vDC". Virtual machine contains multiply network cards, including two he uses for the external network and the Organization's network. But there are still many that connect to a standard switch named 'None '.

  Although it works well, the problem is I can not migrate or do his host in maintenance mode. During the migration network interface adapter, it shows"2 use 'none' network, which is not accessible. »

  Does anyone know something?

  Thank you

  This should be a non-issue.

  Each vShield edge device has 10 NIC cards.  One will be attached to a given network (an external, one internal).

  The 'None' network, a group of port assigned.  This does not block vMotion does not happen, and I was

  Even if you get one! ------warning message, you should still be able to click Next and complete the vMotion.

  The only way you would be blocked from vMotion is if one of the two real networks were somehow connected to a specific host.

  Can you provide a screenshot of it with the next button grey and everything that is not a warning to the network no?

• Problem assigning vShield edge licenses

  We have a cluster running vCenter 5.1 standard with 3 hosts ESXi 4.1 under license with vSphere 4 Enterprise Plus keys. Recently, I've deployed a vCloud Director 5.1 with a Manager Server 5.1.2 Server vShield. I was able to successfully add the vCenter vCloud and vShield Manager. Then when I try to add our license of vShield edge in vCenter as the installation guide document, I can't find the CIS or POSSIBLE asset in vCenter section "permit". Is it because we lack of vSphere 4 license?

  

  The problem is now resolved. Recently, we are improving our vCenter 4.1 to 5.1. The appliance Manager vShield was installed before the upgrade. After the upgrade, I didn't perform a reboot of the vCenter server. Once I restarted the server vCenter, he was able to found the vShield active Edge of the appliance Manager vShield.

• About the origin/Edge configuration

  Hello, I'm quite new to Adobe Flash Media Server and have been reading administration guide.

  After reading the information of origin/edge here:

  leader = 00000130.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/fms/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDoc s_Parts

  I came across a few questions.

  1. it is said that edge server essentially act as a "proxy" gets all inbound connections, which redirects them to the originating server.

  But I read here:

  leader = 00000130.html & http://livedocs.adobe.com/fms/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDoc s_Parts

  that basically just edge transport server uses 1 connection initially and ordered that all users who connect. I am an old user of shoutcast/icecast, and this terminology is a little different. Origin/Edge configuration is basically correct relay? An edge transport server relays a stream from the origin server, and ordered everyone still correct?

  So I might have a relatively low origin server and low bandwidth and have 3 edge server to connect to the origin and have about 100 users to connect to each server 3 edge?

  2. This is the question that that concern me the most. Currently I have swf and HTML field restriction to my application on the original server. If I set up an edge transport server it will respect safety (html and swf domain restrictions) set to the correct home server? Or should I re-enter the areas these 2 files on the edge transport server?

  3. when I completely setup my origin/edge servers, will still be able to connect to the origin? Or they will have access on board?

  4. is there a way to limit the number of users connected to a server and after that it caps out, every future connection is then sent to another edge transport server?

  We hope to hear for you guys.

  Thank you!

  It is not that we do not know, is that we have not gotten here yet.

  1. edge/origin does many things.  It is a complete solution or a simple approximation.  Edge tries to take as much load to the server of origin as possible, therefore he handles VOD delivery locally if the media is cached, distributes broadcasts by pulling only once, but redisting, and it multiplexes all incoming connections on the edge more than one (actually two, but that's a minor detail) to the origin by the remote application conveyed. Origin must manage all scripts, is the authority on the content and registration or the Summit meeting point in direct topologies.  If you have a low origin?  Probably not because he is will again fill media content, especially at the beginning, when the caches are empty, constly.  If you run the script, happens to process the script for all customers, including those on the edges, so that can be costly - should be a great machine?  probably not - when caches work correctly, you should see limited on the origin, etc. support.

  2 edge transport server has its own independent area restrictions.  They are not provided to original aboard.  Allows you to create an origin configuration where it accepts that the edges or other machines in your domain and you can target other areas by the edge transport server.  So, if you want them all in honor of these settings, you'll want to change it on all configurations.

  3. an origin server can always handle direct traffic with or without subscription the edges.  I'll make sure that you are up-to-date with the latest version of FMS, especially 3.5.3 when it comes out that we have fixed some bugs in our DVR implementation in this area.  Nothing catastrophic, just want to ensure that you have the version that works best and we are considered correction of problems loading strongly edge based both local basic traffic (especially in a network of 3 level or more, but you're not here)

  4. you can write like this logic in an access adapter - actually it is exactly what it is designed for.  There the number of connections - for the server and the command of redirection at your disposal so write some logic there please.

• Addition of vShield Edge NAT rules from a CSV using PowerCLI

  I recently read Alan great post on adding NAT here rules: http://www.virtu-al.net/2014/07/24/working-vcd-edge-gateway-rules-powercli/

  I used it successfully for simple rules in a lab environment, but hundreds of rules I need to do in Production.

  Although I managed to hack together an Excel spreadsheet that concatenated all these parameters to create each order, I was wondering if there was a faster way to do it.

  My plan was to modify the script to Alan to import a CSV file, and then loop through each line and generate the XML file in a single pass.

  However, I am very rusty on my scripting skills, so I thought I would first ask if this has already been done by someone else.

  Anyone know if there is a way to update the rules of NAT edge vShield from a CSV file?

  Adam,

  I was an associate of the original request for this feature. Alan made us most of the way with a function to create a single rule, but as in your use case, we also had a lot of rules to build everything at once.

  Our solution was rather minor tweaks and the creation of 3 functions rather than 2.

  * Feature: New DNATRuleXML and new SNATRuleXML.  We have created these two functions to build the string XML (one for the SNAT) and one for the DNAT, their results are stored in a global variable.

  * Function: New-NATXMLExecute. It is a function execute to execute the creation of the great XML string created in the above functions.

  You should change/use power rule XML functions to interface with one worksheet, and then you should be far away. It will be useful.

  Example of code is below:

• Bizzare vShield Edge-NAT/VPN problem Post - 5.1 upgrade

  Hoping someone can shed some light on this issue for us - the TLDR is that NAT rules seem to be causing unexpected behavior on the VPN traffic after a vCloud 1.5 to 5.1 upgrade.

  Background: We work with a hosting provider to manage our vCloud environment. Quite simple - 2 ESXi hosts, a few NFS data stores. They have recently updated us of 1.5 and 5.1. For most of our committees, we have just one network of vSE/Routed that connects a subnet to a network of "WAN" and pulls a public IP address from a pool. Send us (NAT network address) and leave (firewall) ports (for example port 3389 for RDP) to the virtual machines selected. Most of these networks also have a VPN tunnel from site to site with a physical Firewall through the internet. After the upgrade, we went and converted our rules to match the period of initial and active INVESTIGATION "multiple interfaces" - effectively subtracts to compatibility mode. Everything was going well (even for devices of vSE always in compatibility mode)

  Question: We first noticed this, when a customer reported that they are unable to access a virtual machine via RDP using it is internal (protected VSE) IP through a VPN tunnel but could access the virtual machine via RDP using its public hostname/IP address. Allow us all traffic between the VPN (firewall has a whole: a rule for VPN traffic). When we connected to troubleshoot (just thinking that the VPN was down), we found that we could connect to any port on the computer through the VPN tunnel except 3389remote virtual. I can ping from the local subnet to the VM troubled on the VAPP network without problem. I was able to connect to other ports that have been opened on the remote virtual machine without problem. I couldn't connect to 3389 through the VPN.

  We thought he could be isolated, but found the question on each VSE we have: If there were a the DNAT rule to translate the inbound for a particular port, this port would be insensitive when traffic through the VPN tunnel that is meant to be the target of the DNAT rule.

  Someone has an idea what could be the cause?

  Looks like it is a problem experienced during the upgrade. These hidden firewall rules will not disappear until the firewall configuration is updated in some way. So go as - upgrade

  (1) upgrade VCD

  (2) update VSM

  (3) to redeploy the entry door to upgrade the edge of the gateway to version 5.1

  (4) convert the firewall rules to the new format (where firewall rules have no management interface or traffic)

  (5) to change the properties of the bridge and the multiple interface mode

  (6) change the specification of the firewall somehow, that is to add a dummy firewall and remove it, turn off, then turn on the firewall, etc..

  Which should cause the deny rule go away

• vShield Edge 5.1.2 load balancing HTTPS health check possible?

  Hello

  We expect configure edge gateway Load Balancing Service using vCloud Director 5.1.2 and vCloud network and security 5.1.2

  Is it possible to configure health checking with HTTPS and configure the URI to use for the control?

  Best regards

  jmarschall

  Hello

  You have 3 options to check on the edge of health:

  1 TCP: checking the simple TCP connection

  2 HTTP: sends HTTP GET using either the default value {/}, which is accessible by default on almost any server, but may be changed to any other URI.

  3 HTTPS: sends hello SSLv3 client messages and check the server Hello coming from the virtual machine. No URI is included.

  If you CAN do health checks for HTTPS, but NOT for any custom URI. Instead, it checks for valid SSL beyond the normal TCP communications.

• saving VShield edge

  I have problems with my edge transport server.  son of 192.168.10 network and I ping to 15.12.51 network.

  OK, so I can ping a private vlan edge unit 15.12.51.1.

  In addition by edge devices I can ping all my ip on the 15.12.51 network.

  Since, however, a virtual machine on the private wire I can only ping my transport server edge and nothing on the rest of the 15.12.51 network.

  I have nat was an ip address on the network 15.12.51 and changed my firewall by default rule (for testing) to allow all traffic.

  seems to not work.

  I'm trying hard to find some record of the conversation attempt between the virtual machine on the 192 network than on the 15.12

  network, but I can't seem to find any connection on the edge device. Do you know where I can find the logging?

  Thank you

  The simple question is, no way to watch the logging of the edge server. of the receipt of applications, etc.
