This appendix provides sample configurations for commonly used load balancers. It contains these sections:
Section A.1, "Test Network Configuration"
Section A.2, "F5 Big IP Application Switch (Software Version 4.5 PTF.5)"
Section A.3, "Cisco CSM 3.1(2)"
Section A.4, "Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24"
Section A.5, "Nortel Alteon 2424 SSL (Software Version 20.2.2.1)"
Section A.6, "Radware Web Server Director NP with SynApps 7.50.05"
This section identifies the elements of the network configuration and considerations for the operation of Oracle Application Server components. Figure A-1 shows the configuration, its subnets, and the placement of the Oracle Application Server components in it.
The test network consists of several subnets for deployment of the hardware and Oracle Application Server components:
Internet
Simulated public network
Firewall-Load Balancer Transport Net
Network between the border firewall and load balancer external interface
DMZ or Web Tier
The OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tiers are installed on this tier. This subnet has two gateways:
Internal interface of the load balancer
Firewall interface to the data tier
Data Tier
The Oracle Application Server Infrastructure instance are installed on this tier. This is a protected network.
The test configuration contains the following hardware:
Check Point Firewall-1 NG internal firewall (DMZ to the Intranet)
One of the following load balancers (F5 Big IP was used in Oracle tests):
F5 Big IP Application Switch (Software Version 4.5 PTF.5)
Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24
OracleAS Portal and OracleAS Wireless use server-to-server communication. This means that an OracleAS Portal or OracleAS Wireless instance must be able to make HTTP or HTTPS requests to a virtual IP address (VIP), and have the requests routed back to itself or another instance of its kind on the Web tier. The invalidation requests that OracleAS Portal makes to OracleAS Web Cache must be handled in a similar manner.
This section describes the communication in general terms and identifies the network configuration that enables it. For specific instructions on configuring a particular load balancer, refer to the section for that load balancer.
The Parallel Page Engine in OracleAS Portal makes loop-back (server-to-server) requests from the middle tier Oracle Application Server instance and back to that instance. In order to make OracleAS Portal highly available, these loop-back requests must be received by the load balancer, rather than individual Oracle Application Server middle tier instances.
After the Parallel Page Engine requests are routed to the VIP on the load balancer, the source address for the Parallel Page Engine requests must use Network Address Translation (NAT) to ensure correct routing. Without NAT on the source IP address of Parallel Page Engine requests, the host will respond directly to the client, which will break the session, since the client was expecting the response from the VIP. Figure A-2 shows how an address is translated after the request is processed by the load balancer.
Figure A-2 OracleAS Portal Parallel Page Engine Network Address Translation
OracleAS Wireless makes requests to OracleAS Single Sign-On (which should be located with OracleAS Wireless on the Web tier). In order to make OracleAS Wireless highly available, these requests must be received by the load balancer. These requests must also processed by NAT, as the OracleAS Single Sign-On and OracleAS Portal instances reside on the same subnet.
Figure A-3 shows the request from the OracleAS Portal instance to the OracleAS Single Sign-On load balancer.
Figure A-3 Request Routing to the OracleAS Single Sign-On Server Load Balancer
OracleAS Portal also makes invalidation requests to OracleAS Web Cache. In order for the invalidation to function correctly, you must enable communication on port 9401 from the OracleAS Portal repository to a VIP that can communicate with the OracleAS Web Cache instances on the Web tier. Depending on how routing is configured in the network, you may also need to use NAT for these requests, and open outbound ports as needed on the data tier.
This section describes the network configuration necessary to test the Big IP Application Switch load balancer with the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) application server.
The following subnets were used in the Big IP configuration:
External: 192.168.200.0/24 (DMZ2)
Internal: 192.168.0.0/24 (DMZ1)
Two interfaces were created:
1.1 192.168.200.5/24 (External)
1.2 192.168.0.1/24 (Internal)
|
Note: In the configuration for port 1.2, Secure Network Address Translation (SNAT) automap was also enabled. |
As shown in Figure A-1, "Test Network Configuration", the following servers were used for the middle tier installations and OracleAS Single Sign-On servers:
pdln-mid1.pdx.com
pdln-mid2.pdx.com
pdln-sso1.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
pdln-sso2.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
The following pools were created:
Pool 1: HTTP
pdln-mid1.pdx.com (Port 7777)
pdln-mid2.pdx.com (Port 7777)
Enable SNAT
Pool 2: OracleAS Single Sign-On
pdln-sso1.pdx.com (Port 7777)
pdln-sso2.pdx.com (Port 7777)
Enable SNAT
Persistent rebalance
Pool 3: OracleAS Web Cache Invalidation
pdln-mid1.pdx.com (Port 9401)
pdln-mid2.pdx.com (Port 9401)
Enable SNAT
The following load balancing methods were used:
Middle tiers: Round Robin with basic HTTP health check
Identity Management: Least Connections with OracleAS Single Sign-On health check (in-house)
You can create health monitors for Oracle Application Server components as described in this section.
Send String: GET /sso/status
Receive Rule: The OC4J_SECURITY instance is running
Since there are multiple components running on the middle tiers, the best way to monitor this is with an HTTP GET /. You can also create customized health checks using OracleAS Portal and OracleAS Wireless status pages.
A health monitor is needed for OracleAS Web Cache invalidation messages. Use HTTP LOGIN to monitor these messages.
Monitor Oracle Internet Directory LDAP communication using LDAP LOGIN.
Because two different hosts (sso-linux and linux) were used, two proxies, each with its own certificate, were created:
Proxy 1
Type: SSL
IP:Port: 192.168.200.10:443 (linux.pdx.com)
Destination Host: 192.168.200.10:80 (linux.pdx.com)
(Certificate information here)
Proxy 2
Type: SSL
IP:Port: 192.168.200.11:443 (sso-linux.pdx.com)
Destination Host: 192.168.200.11:80 (sso-linux.pdx.com)
(Certificate information here)
These proxies decrypt the HTTPS session in Big IP's internal SSL accelerator and forward the HTTP traffic back to the VIP.
In order to use the load balancer to handle the Parallel Page Engine requests from the middle tiers, you must set up Secure Network Address Translation (SNAT) on the VLAN's self IP address and the middle tier pools. To do this, follow the instructions in this section.
In the network configuration, check SNAT Automap for the self IP of the internal interface.
In the middle tier pool configuration, ensure that SNAT is enabled and NAT is disabled.
Issue the following command:
b vlan internal snat automap enable
In the preceding command, internal is the IP address of the internal interface.
Test the configuration with a telnet command from one of the middle tiers to the VIP address on port 80, with a HEAD request, for example:
telnet 192.168.200.10 80
HEAD
A response similar to the following should be returned:
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2004 15:08:25 GMT
Allow: GET, HEAD
Server: OracleAS-Web-Cache-10g/10.1.2.0.0
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 100
Cache-Control: public
Ensure that SNAT is enabled on the pool that was created for invalidation requests. You may also need to create a static route on the firewall to ensure that invalidation requests are routed properly. (This is required, since the middle tier may have a different route to the database.)
If you are using SSL and routing Parallel Page Engine and Invalidation requests though the load balancer/SSL accelerator, you must import the trusted site certificate. To do this, follow the instructions in the Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide, section titled "Adding Certificates for Trusted Sites".
The configuration described in the preceding sections can also be applied to OracleAS Wireless. The only difference is that the middle tiers must know the IP address of the OracleAS Single Sign-On pool, and be able to route requests to that pool to authenticate clients. If you are using SSL, you must also import CA and Site certificates into the OracleAS Wireless configuration. See the Oracle Application Server Wireless Administrator's Guide for instructions.
If you are using OracleAS Web Cache with Big IP, ensure that the Big IP version is at least 4.5 PTF5, with the fix described in the F5 document 28154. Without this version and the fix, severe performance problems will occur. (In versions later than 4.5 PTF5, the problems have been fixed.)
This section describes the network configuration necessary to test the Cisco CSM 3.1(2) load balancer with the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) application server.
The following subnets were used in the Cisco CSM 3.1(2) configuration:
External: 192.168.200.0/24 (DMZ2)
Internal: 192.168.0.0/24 (DMZ1)
As shown in Figure A-1, "Test Network Configuration", the following servers were used for the middle tier installations and OracleAS Single Sign-On servers:
pdln-mid1.pdx.com
pdln-mid2.pdx.com
pdln-sso1.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
pdln-sso2.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
The following VLANs were created:
VLAN 2: Client
VLAN 200: Server (Web tier)
VLAN 400: Server (SSL)
The following server farms were created:

This section describes the network configuration necessary to test the Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24 load balancer with the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) application server.
The following subnets were used in the Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24 configuration:
External: 192.168.200.0/24 (DMZ2)
Internal: 192.168.0.0/24 (DMZ1)
As shown in Figure A-1, "Test Network Configuration", the following servers were used for the middle tier installations and OracleAS Single Sign-On servers:
pdln-mid1.pdx.com
pdln-mid2.pdx.com
pdln-cache1.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)

To verify the Parallel Page Engine communication from the middle tiers, follow these steps:
Test the configuration with a telnet command from one of the middle tiers to the VIP address on port 80, with a HEAD request, for example:
telnet 192.168.200.10 80
HEAD
A response similar to the following should be returned:
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2004 15:08:25 GMT
Allow: GET, HEAD

|
Note: You can perform the same test for the invalidation communication from the Infrastructure database. Syntax errors may occur with these requests, but if the response contains the preceding information, the communication is functioning properly. |
In order for invalidation to work correctly, you must ensure that client NAT is enabled on each of the real servers on which OracleAS Web Cache is installed. You may also need to create a static route on the firewall to ensure that invalidation requests are routed properly.
If you are using SSL and routing Parallel Page Engine and Invalidation requests though the load balancer/SSL accelerator, you must import the trusted site certificate. To do this, follow the instructions in the Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide, section titled "Adding Certificates for Trusted Sites".
The configuration described in the preceding sections can also be applied to OracleAS Wireless. The only difference is that the middle tiers must know the IP address of the OracleAS Single Sign-On pool, and be able to route requests to that pool to authenticate clients. If you are using SSL, you must also import CA and Site certificates into the OracleAS Wireless configuration. See the Oracle Application Server Wireless Administrator's Guide for instructions.

This section describes the network configuration necessary to test the Nortel Alteon 2424 SSL (Software Version 20.2.2.1) load balancer with the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) application server.
The following subnets were used in the Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24 configuration:
External: 192.168.200.0/24 (DMZ2)
Internal: 192.168.0.0/24 (DMZ1)
As shown in Figure A-1, "Test Network Configuration", the following servers were used for the middle tier installations and OracleAS Single Sign-On servers:
pdln-mid1.pdx.com
pdln-mid2.pdx.com
pdln-sso1.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
pdln-sso2.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
You must create Real Server entries for each middle tier balanced by the load balancer. Table A-2 lists the servers used in the test configuration.
The servers listed in Table A-2 must belong to groups, as listed in Table A-3. Note that the groups contain like instances, for example, Group 1 contains OracleAS Portal instances, Group 4 contains the Identity Management instances, and Group 5 has only the SSL accelerator.
This section describes the virtual IP addresses used in this configuration.
Virtual #1 is set up to listen on port 80 (HTTP) using the address 192.168.200.10, which is on the external subnet interface. Group 1 is bound to this virtual address, and the remote port 7777 (the OracleAS Web Cache listen port) has also been set. Pbind is for client stickiness; since we are using an OracleAS Web Cache cluster in this scenario, no real session binding is needed on the load balancer.
Virtual #4 is for OracleAS Single Sign-On, and is also configured on port 80 (can be set to 443 for SSL communication), using the address 192.168.200.11, which is on the external subnet interface. Group 4 is bound to this virtual server and the remote port 7777. No session binding is needed for the OracleAS Single Sign-On requests, but for his instance client IP has been selected.
To make the OracleAS Portal Parallel Page Engine and invalidation to work correctly, you must enable a proxy on the internal or server ports of the load balancer. This causes NAT (with PIP addresses) on any requests that are generated by the internal servers.
PIP Configuration: Configure PIP addresses that the proxy will use: For example:
/c/slb/pip<#>xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Replace the xs in the preceding example with the PIP address. The PIP addresses must be on the same subnet as the servers.
Port Configuration:
Port 1 (External): client enable, proxy enable
Port 2 (Internal server): client enable, proxy enable, server enable
Ports 3-8: client enable
In order for invalidation to work correctly, you must ensure that client NAT is enabled on each of the real servers on which OracleAS Web Cache is installed. You may also need to create a static route on the firewall to ensure that invalidation requests are routed properly.
If you are using SSL and routing Parallel Page Engine and Invalidation requests though the load balancer/SSL accelerator, you must import the trusted site certificate. To do this, follow the instructions in the Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide, section titled "Adding Certificates for Trusted Sites".
The configuration described in the preceding sections can also be applied to OracleAS Wireless. The only difference is that the middle tiers must know the IP address of the OracleAS Single Sign-On pool, and be able to route requests to that pool to authenticate clients. If you are using SSL, you must also import CA and Site certificates into the OracleAS Wireless configuration. See the Oracle Application Server Wireless Administrator's Guide for instructions.

This section describes the network configuration necessary to test the Radware Web Server Director NP load balancer with the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) application server.
The following subnets were used in the Foundry Server Iron v08.1.00cT24 configuration:
External: 192.168.200.0/24 (DMZ2)
Internal: 192.168.0.0/24 (DMZ1)
As shown in Figure A-1, "Test Network Configuration", the following servers were used for the middle tier installations and OracleAS Single Sign-On servers:
pdln-mid1.pdx.com
pdln-mid2.pdx.com
pdln-sso1.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
pdln-sso2.pdx.com (Identity Management, OracleAS Single Sign-On middle tier)
The following farms were created for the Radware Web Server Director NP Configuration:
Farm 1: 192.168.0.150 HTTP
Farm 2: 192.168.0.151 OracleAS Web Cache invalidation
Farm 3: 192.168.0.152 OracleAS Single Sign-On
Farm 4: 192.168.0.153 CT100 — linux.pdx.com
Farm 5: 192.168.0.154 CT100 — sso-linux.pdx.com
Table A-5 lists the servers used in the test configuration.

The following additional configuration is necessary for the Radware Web Server Director NP:
Enable client NAT. Do not specify any address under Use Specific NAT Address.
Specify the NAT address range to use.
Specify the client addresses for NAT:
192.168.0.104 - 192.168.0.105 for middle tier
192.168.2.100 - 192.168.2.100 for Infrastructure invalidation requests.
Specify client NAT Enable in the server configuration.
Table A-6 lists the super farms for the Radware Web Server Director NP configuration:

The following load balancing methods were used:
Middle tiers: Cyclic with HTTP health check on port 7777
Identity Management: Cyclic with HTTP health check on port 7777
To verify the Parallel Page Engine communication from the middle tiers, follow these steps:
Test the configuration with a telnet command from one of the middle tiers to the VIP address on port 80, with a HEAD request, for example:
telnet 192.168.200.10 80
HEAD
A response similar to the following should be returned:
Date: Wed, 02 Jun 2004 15:08:25 GMT
Allow: GET, HEAD
Server: OracleAS-Web-Cache-10g/10.1.2.0.0
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 100
Cache-Control: public
|
Note: You can perform the same test for the invalidation communication from the Infrastructure database. Syntax errors may occur with these requests, but if the response contains the preceding information, the communication is functioning properly. |
In order for invalidation to work correctly, you must ensure that client NAT is enabled on each of the real servers on which OracleAS Web Cache is installed. You may also need to create a static route on the firewall to ensure that invalidation requests are routed properly.
If you are using SSL and routing Parallel Page Engine and Invalidation requests though the load balancer/SSL accelerator, you must import the trusted site certificate. To do this, follow the instructions in the Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide, section titled "Adding Certificates for Trusted Sites".
The configuration described in the preceding sections can also be applied to OracleAS Wireless. The only difference is that the middle tiers must know the IP address of the OracleAS Single Sign-On pool, and be able to route requests to that pool to authenticate clients. If you are using SSL, you must also import CA and Site certificates into the OracleAS Wireless configuration. See the Oracle Application Server Wireless Administrator's Guide for instructions.
