ip wccp
ip wccp
To enable support of the specified Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) service for
participation in a service group, use the ip wccp command in global configuration mode. To disable the
service group, use the no form of this command.
ip wccp {web-cache | service-number} [accelerated] [group-address multicast-address]
[redirect-list access-list] [group-list access-list] [password [0 | 7] password]
no ip wccp {web-cache | service-number}[accelerated] [group-address multicast-address]
[redirect-list access-list] [group-list access-list] [password [0 | 7] password]
Syntax Description
Command Default WCCP services are not enabled on the router.
Command Modes Global configuration (config)
web-cache Specifies the web-cache service.
Note Web cache counts as one service. The maximum number of
services, including those assigned with the service-number
argument, are 8.
service-number Dynamic service identifier, which means the service definition is dictated
by the cache. The dynamic service number can be from 0 to 254. The
maximum number of services is 8, which includes the web-cache service
specified with the web-cache keyword.
Note If Cisco cache engines are being used in your service group, the
reverse-proxy service is indicated by a value of 99.
accelerated (Optional) This option applies only to hardware-accelerated routers. This
keyword configures the service group to prevent a connection being
formed with a cache engine unless the cache engine is configured in a way
that allows redirection on the router to benefit from hardware acceleration.
group-address
multicast-address
(Optional) Multicast IP address that communicates with the WCCP
service group. The multicast address is used by the router to determine
which cache engine should receive redirected messages.
redirect-list access-list (Optional) Access list that controls traffic redirected to this service group.
The access-list argument should consist of a string of no more than 64
characters (name or number) that specifies the access list.
group-list access-list (Optional) Access list that determines which cache engines are allowed to
participate in the service group. The access-list argument specifies either
the number or the name of a standard or extended access list.
password [0 | 7]
password
(Optional) Message digest algorithm 5 (MD5) authentication for messages
received from the service group. Messages that are not accepted by the
authentication are discarded. The encryption type can be 0 or 7, with 0
specifying not yet encrypted and 7 for proprietary. The password argument
can be up to eight characters in length.
