Issue with Traffic Distribution

[Rabin]

Hi Maestro Experts,

Greetings !

We have one Security Group acting as a perimeter firewall where NAT and Internet traffic is handled. Now, when we make another security Group for core Security Group with same magg0 bond and different SMO where there is no NAT and its mainly internal traffic from database to application or lets say internal resouces. Now, we migrated our network to Core Security Group all traffic went smooth untill peak hour where some of the mobile banking users were having issue.

To note we had same traffic distribution mode in perimtere and core security group which was auto topology. Does this setting could have affect our traffic in core network architecture or is it something that our single SMO could not handle the large session count at peak hour.

Kindly share your thoughts and experience if you had same issue or have experience in this field.

Thank You.

Distribution mode is decided on the GW configuration.

If you have a GW with NAT / VPN - use auto-topology.

if you have a GW without (usually a DC / Core / internal FW - use manual-general.

usually this affects the distribution between SGM's so check if during your peak hours one SGM utilized more traffic / connections then the rest that might have caused what you described.

otherwise look for a different cause.

Hi @Nir_Shamir 

Thank yo so much for your insight. We had TAC engineer invovlved and during troubleshooting phase, it was observerd in logs that - "First Packet" not syncing with "ACK," "FIN+ACK," and "Reset+ACK." And TAC gave us reommendation to go to latest hotfixe but i dont think this might caused the issue as he had bypassed this through global setting and we didnt see similar logs but were having same issue. Please share your thoughs on this.

It can be many things.

Please follow TAC recommendations first and continue to work with them if the issue persists.

@Nir_Shamir  Thank You for the recommendtaion. One last thing just wanted to know from your side, does having same magg0 bond can cause issue with the traffic in maestro architecture ?

No, that's the default configuration for almost all of our customers.
