Cisco ASA Series CLI Configuration Guide

 

Chapter 1      Configuring a Cluster of ASAs

  Information About ASA Clustering

Multicast Routing in Individual Interface Mode

In Individual interface mode, units do not act independently with multicast. All data and routing packets 
are processed and forwarded by the master unit, thus avoiding packet replication.

NAT

NAT can impact the overall throughput of the cluster. Inbound and outbound NAT packets can be sent to 
different ASAs in the cluster because the load balancing algorithm relies on IP addresses and ports, and 
NAT causes inbound and outbound packets to have different IP addresses and/or ports. When a packet 
arrives at an ASA that is not the connection owner, it is forwarded over the cluster control link to the 
owner, causing large amounts of traffic on the cluster control link.

If you still want to use NAT in clustering, then consider the following guidelines:

•

No Proxy ARP—For Individual interfaces, a proxy ARP reply is never sent for mapped addresses. 
This prevents the adjacent router from maintaining a peer relationship with an ASA that may no 
longer be in the cluster. The upstream router needs a static route or PBR with Object Tracking for 
the mapped addresses that points to the Main cluster IP address. This is not an issue for a Spanned 
EtherChannel, because there is only one IP address associated with the cluster interface.

•

No interface PAT on an Individual interface—Interface PAT is not supported for Individual 
interfaces.

•

NAT pool address distribution—The master unit evenly pre-distributes addresses across the cluster. 
If a member receives a connection and they have no addresses left, the connection is dropped, even 
if other members still have addresses available. Make sure to include at least as many NAT addresses 
as there are units in the cluster to ensure that each unit receives an address. Use the 

show nat pool 

cluster 

command to see the address allocations.

•

No round-robin—Round-robin for a PAT pool is not supported with clustering.

•

Dynamic NAT xlates managed by the master unit—The master unit maintains and replicates the 
xlate table to slave units. When a slave unit receives a connection that requires dynamic NAT, and 
the xlate is not in the table, it requests the xlate from the master unit. The slave unit owns the 
connection.

•

Per-session PAT feature—Although not exclusive to clustering, the per-session PAT feature 
improves the scalability of PAT and, for clustering, allows each slave unit to own PAT connections; 
by contrast, multi-session PAT connections have to be forwarded to and owned by the master unit. 
By default, all TCP traffic and UDP DNS traffic use a per-session PAT xlate. For traffic that requires 
multi-session PAT, such as H.323, SIP, or Skinny, you can disable per-session PAT. For more 
information about per-session PAT, see the 

“Per-Session PAT vs. Multi-Session PAT” section on 

page 1-9

 in the firewall configuration guide.
