This command displays the following information:

• The status of the Secure Web Appliance connection with each adaptive security appliance.

• The duration of the Secure Web Appliance connection with each adaptive security appliance in minutes.

• The number of remote clients from each adaptive security appliance.

• The number of remote clients being serviced, which is defined as the number of remote clients that have passed traffic through the Secure Web Appliance.

• The total number of remote clients.

networktuning

The Secure Web Appliance utilizes several buffers and optimization algorithms to handle hundreds of TCP connections simultaneously, providing high performance for typical Web traffic—that is, short-lived HTTP connections.

In certain situations, such as frequent downloading of large files (100+ MB), larger buffers can provide better per-connection performance. However, overall memory usage will increase, and thus any buffer increases should be in line with the memory available on the system.

The send- and receive-space variables represent the buffers used for storing data for communications over any given TCP socket. The send- and receive-auto variables are used to enable and disable the FreeBSD auto-tuning algorithm for dynamically controlling window size. These two parameters are applied directly in the FreeBSD kernel.

When SEND_AUTO and RECV_AUTO are enabled, the system tunes the window size dynamically based on system load and available resources. On a lightly loaded Secure Web Appliance, the system attempts to keep window sizes large to reduce per transaction latency. The maximum value of the dynamically tuned window size is dependent on the configured number of mbuf clusters, which in turn is dependent on the total RAM available on the system. As the total number of client connections increases, or when the available network buffer resources become scarce, the system tunes down the window sizes to protect itself from losing all network buffer resources to proxied traffic.

See Upload/Download Speed Issues for additional information about using this command.

The networktuning subcommands are:

SENDSPACE – TCP send-space buffer size; range is from 8192 to 131072 bytes; the default is 16000 bytes.

RECVSPACE – TCP receive-space buffer size; range is from 8192 to 131072 bytes; the default is 32768 bytes.

SEND-AUTO – Enable/disable TCP send auto-tuning; 1 = On, 0 = Off; default is Off. If you enable TCP send auto-tuning, be sure to use advancedproxyconfig > miscellaneous > Would you like proxy to perform dynamic adjustment of TCP send window size? to disable send buffer auto-tuning.

RECV-AUTO – Enable/disable TCP receive auto-tuning; 1 = On, 0 = Off; default is Off. If you enable TCP receive auto-tuning, be sure to use advancedproxyconfig > miscellaneous > Would you like proxy to perform dynamic adjustment of TCP receive window size? to disable receive buffer auto-tuning.

MBUF CLUSTER COUNT – Change the number of available mbuf clusters; acceptable range is from 98304 to 1572864. The value should vary according to installed system memory, using this calculation: 98304 * (X/Y) where is X is gigabytes of RAM on the system and Y is 4 GB. For example, with 4 GB RAM, the recommended value is 98304 * (4/4) = 98304. Linear scaling is recommended as RAM increases.

SENDBUF-MAX – Specify the maximum send buffer size; range is from 131072 bytes to 2097152 bytes; the default is 1 MB (1048576 bytes).

RECVBUF-MAX – Specify the maximum receive buffer size; range is from 131072 bytes to 2097152 bytes; the default is 1 MB (1048576 bytes).

CLEAN-FIB-1 – Remove all M1/M2 entries from the data-routing table—essentially, enable control-plane/data-plane separation. That is, disable any data-plane process from sending data over the M1 interface when “Separate Routing” is enabled. Data-plane processes are those for which “Use data routing table” is enabled, or which carry strictly non-management traffic. Control-plane processes can still send data of over either the M1 or P1 interfaces.

Following any changes to these parameters, be sure to commit your changes and the restart the appliance.

!AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA

In this case, the default cipher may change based on your ECDHE cipher selections.

EECDH:DSS:RSA:!NULL:!eNULL:!aNULL:!EXPORT:!3DES:!SEED:!CAMELLIA
:!SRP:!IDEA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:

TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256: TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256

Note	Update the default cipher suite while upgrading to a newer AsyncOS version. The ciphers suites are not automatically updated. When you upgrade from an earlier version to AsyncOS 12.0 and later, Cisco recommends updating the cipher suite to:

EECDH:DSS:RSA:!NULL:!eNULL:!aNULL:!EXPORT:!3DES:!SEED:!CAMELLIA
:!SRP:!IDEA:!DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:!AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:

FALLBACK – Enable/disable the SSL/TLS fall-back option. If enabled, communications with remote servers will fall back to the lowest configured protocol following a handshake failure.

After a protocol version is negotiated between client and server, handshake failure is possible because of implementation issues. If this option is enabled, the proxy attempts to connect using the lowest version of the currently configured TLS/SSL protocols.

Note	On new AsyncOS 9.x installations, fall-back is disabled by default. For upgrades from earlier versions on which the fall-back option exists, the current setting is retained; otherwise, when upgrading from a version on which the option did not exist, fall-back is enabled by default.

ECDHE – Enable/disable use of ECDHE ciphers for LDAP.

Additional ECDH ciphers are supported in successive releases; however, certain named curves provided with some of the additional ciphers cause the appliance to close a connection during secure LDAP authentication and HTTPS traffic decryption. See SSL Configurationfor more information about specifying additional ciphers.

If you experience these issues, use this option to disable or enable ECDHE cipher use for either or both features.

ssltool

Executes different OPENSSL commands from appliance's CLI to troubleshoot SSL connections. The ssltool command has the following subcommands:

• sclient -This is CLI version of openssl s_client command. It will connect to a remote host using SSL/TLS directly without using the appliance.

  • COMMAND - Executes an openssl s_client command. The following openssl s_client commands are supported:

    -connect, -servername, -verify, -cipher, -verify_return_error, -reconnect, -pause, -showcerts, -prexit, -state, -debug, -msg, -tls1, -tls1_1, -tls1_2, -no_ssl2, -no_ssl3, -no_tls1, -no_tls1_1, -no_tls1_2, -tlsextdebug, -no_ticket, -status, -save, -noout

    See the inline help for more information about the supported openssl s_client commands .

The syntax is as follows:

trailblazerconfig enable <https_port> <http_port>

trailblazerconfig disable

trailblazerconfig status

Where:

'enable' runs the trailblazer on the default ports (HTTPS: 4431 or HTTP: 801).

'disable' terminates the trailblazer

'status' checks the status of the trailblazer.

Note	If you have enabled trailblazerconfig command on the appliance, the request URL will contain the HTTP/HTTPS port number appended to the hostname.

You can try any one of the following steps to make the navigation in your browser seamless:

• Accept the certificate used by the web interface and use the following URL syntax: https://hostname:<https_api_port> (for example, https://some.example.com:6443) in a new browser window and accept the certificate. Here <https_api_port> is the AsyncOS API HTTPS port configured in Network > IP Interfaces. Also, ensure that the API ports (HTTP/HTTPS) are opened on the firewall.

• By default, trailblazerconfig CLI command is enabled on your appliance. Make sure that the HTTP/HTTPS ports are opened on the firewall. Also ensure that your DNS server can resolve the hostname that you specified for accessing the appliance.

  If the trailblazerconfig CLI command is disabled, you can run the trailblazerconfig > enable command using the CLI to avoid the following issues:

  • Requiring to add multiple certificates for API ports in certain browsers.

  • Redirecting to the legacy web interface when you refresh the Spam quarantine, Safelist or Blocklist page.

  • Metrics bar on the Advanced Malware Protection report page does not contain any data.
