Chapter 1 Configuring Web Cache Services Using WCCP
Enabling WCCP Redirection
To configure WCCP redirection, perform the following steps:
Examples
For example, to enable the standard web-cache service and redirect HTTP traffic that enters the inside
interface to a web cache, enter the following commands:
hostname (config)# wccp web-cache
hostname (config)# wccp interface inside web-cache redirect in
Command Purpose
Step 1
wccp {web-cache | service_number}
[redirect-list access_list] [group-list
access_list] [password password]
Example:
hostname (config)# wccp web-cache
Enables a WCCP service group and identifies the service to be
redirected. (Optional) Also defines which cache engines can
participate in the service group, and what traffic should be
redirected to the cache engine.
The standard service is web-cache, which intercepts TCP port 80
(HTTP) traffic and redirects that traffic to the cache engines, but
you can identify a service number (if desired) between 0 and 254.
For example, to transparently redirect native FTP traffic to a
cache engine, use WCCP service 60. You can enter this command
multiple times for each service group that you want to enable.
The redirect-list access_list argument controls traffic that is
redirected to this service group.
The group-list access_list argument determines which web cache
IP addresses are allowed to participate in the service group.
The password password argument specifies MD5 authentication
for messages that are received from the service group. Messages
that are not accepted by the authentication are discarded.
Step 2
wccp interface interface_name {web-cache |
service_number} redirect in
Example:
hostname (config)# wccp interface inside
web-cache redirect in
Identifies an interface and enables WCCP redirection on the
interface.
The standard service is web-cache, which intercepts TCP port 80
(HTTP) traffic and redirects that traffic to the cache engines, but
you can identify a service number (if desired) between 0 and 254.
For example, to transparently redirect native FTP traffic to a
cache engine, use WCCP service 60. You can enter this command
multiple times for each service group that you want to enable.
